“Kathy was amazing. I would get constant updates which made my trip a lot more comfortable. Much better experience than dog hotels. I would highly recommend Kathy.”
“In the past we've had a sitter stay at our place to watch Luna, so this was a first for us by sending her to a house sitter for few nights. TBH I was nervous despite a good initial meet & greet, but Weynan did a fabulous job with Luna and getting her settled into a new place and with other dogs. We received frequent updates (pics/videos) and could see Luna was doing quite well even with dogs who were new to her. So after a couple nights I felt more relieved this this type of experience can work well for our dog and provides us a new option for future trips where we are unable to take Luna with us. Can't say enough how great Wenyan was with us and this experience.”
“Sean and Eve were fantastic sitters. They continually sent me pictures of Rocky and kept me up to date. They even went above and beyond and gave Rocky a bath when he got into something smelly. I appreciate the care and love they showed my dog, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Ana and her family showered Mowgli with cuddles, attention and lots of walks! We received several pictures throughout the day and communication was prompt. He came back happy and tired - all signs of a great stay!”
“Jill and her husband, Sean, were so caring and provided excellent care to our dog, Rigby, while we went on a family vacation. Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”
“Tatiana took great care of our dog. It was our first time looking for boarding on Rover, and when I sent her a request, she responded immediately. Since it was only a few days before our trip, I was very relieved to have the booking confirmed so quickly. Dobby’s stay was fantastic. He loved playing with the other dogs and had a great time with Leo. Tatiana also sent us lots of photos and videos, which made us feel so relieved to see Dobby enjoying himself. We definitely hope to request boarding with her again!”
“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”
“Lots of pictures of Toby during the stay, he seemed happy there and get along with Zoey. Marci and Margaret responded right away, I had a good feeling after the meet and greet and decided to use them for Toby's care. If they'll have Toby again, I would use them again.”
“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“I could tell Butters & Stanley very much enjoyed their stay with Robin & Michael right when I picked them up! I am always anxious when leaving the pups, but Robin & Michael made feel at ease. They are fantastic and we will definitely be back! Thanks for allowing them a great time!”
“Our dog, Clea, had an amazing time! We received frequent updates and photos and Clea seemed very well taken care of. All care instructions were followed, and we would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jared was our lifesaver! After some bad luck, we were fortunate that Jared was able to take care of our Bruno pup while we were out of town. We had lots of updates each day and pictures. Bruno took to Jared immediately and we can’t wait for him to visit with Jared again. Thank you sooooo much!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Luna was so well cared for during her stay. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When Luna wasn’t eating, she reached out right away to let me know and came up with a thoughtful solution that worked. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. She even told me Luna was one of the easiest dogs she’s watched, which was great to hear! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Peko and the entire family were amazing to us. They were great with communication for the entirety of our dogs two week stay, and the concern they showed for both our dogs was very telling of their care. We definitely feel lucky that we were able to find such great sitters on our first go with Rover. To say that as a family we were nervous to leave our dogs behind for the first time would be an understatement, but we feel incredibly lucky and grateful for Peko and her care. We will definitely be reachibg out again for future needs!”
About: Providing the best care for your best friends. My top priorities are the same as yours. The safety, comfort and happiness of your best friends. I've had dogs, cats and other pets at all different energy levels throughout my entire life. I've always had a beagle, pitbull, poodle and others in my care. I love all breeds equally and will treat your pet like they are my own! I can easily follow any special instructions you have for your pet. Your best buddy will be allowed to hang out all over the house, on the couch and furniture if they like and have someone with them at all times. If your dog loves walks, parks, creeks and fenced yards, this is the place for them! I don’t have any pets of my own at this time, and I’d love to care for yours in the meantime. I understand and appreciate how much your best friend means to you. I'm always available for a visit and it's best to reserve a spot early if possible. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I am at home full-time retired so I'm available and at the mercy of your pet’s schedule! I do my best to accommodate most schedules. If you just need to drop off your pet for a few hours while you take care of errands etc.. that's no problem. I treat every single pet like they are my own. Pets are allowed on all furniture (unless you say no!), they have a fully fenced yard to play in, a park right across the street to walk in, a creek to play in, and more right across the street! If your dog is uncomfortable around other dogs or people, i am able to walk them in non populated areas. One of my former dogs was also not a huge fan of people or other pets so I know how to work with these situations.
“Brenda responded to all communications very quickly. Pick up and drop off went smoothly and were on time. Routine updates with pictures were sent while we were overseas. Dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Darnestown is $50

We love leaving Ghostie with Sophia. She has so much fun, goes for plenty of walks, and runs around in the back yard. Sophia always send plenty of picture daily and communicates with us regularly when we are away. Ghostie feels so comfortable with Sophia, so we keep coming back. Thanks Sophia for a great stay-cation for our furry family member.
We left our 6 yr old golden doodle with Jayendri for 4 days. She managed him very well specially his food as he is a picky eater. The best part of leaving my pup with Jayendri was that I got transparent updates about food and walks and even if the walk schedules were modified. This is something I have not seen with other sitters. Gibbs came back happy and I would love to leave him back again when we go on holidays.
Dawn is an outstanding sitter. She is as professional as she is kind, and you can tell from the moment you meet her that she's genuinely invested in the well-being and care of every dog she watches. She goes above and beyond to keep owners informed with regular updates and gives the dogs exceptional care and attention. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing Tank and Ripley were in such good hands while we were away. I'm certain Tank and Ripley will be chomping at the bit to head back the next time my wife and I have to leave town. Thanks again, Dawn! We couldn't recommend you more highly.
James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.
Andrii was really good with our cats and they looked incredibly peaceful in every picture he sent to us. He was also super responsive to any messages from us and even helped carry all of our cat gear in and out. We would definitely use Andrii again if he's available.
Sabina takes excellent care of our dog! She follows our instruction exactly and updates us daily with pictures. She also gives lots of attention and does lots of activities with Saska. He’s definitely very happy at her place! We would not hesitate to choose her again in the future!
Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: --- We couldn’t be happier with Katrina as our dogsitter! She is incredibly communicative and keeps us updated every step of the way. It’s clear she has a lot of experience. Our dogs warmed up to her right away and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Being able to go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing our dogs are getting the absolute best care and attention, is priceless. Highly recommended!

There are 7,831 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Darnestown. About 91% of Darnestown sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
