“So impressed with Megan and family’s love of animals, of dogs. Seems Mac went for a fun spend over, wagging his tail when he got there, tail still wagging when we picked him up…fun running with Calvin in the backyard, then resting well at night. Thank you very much for the good care, Megan. Best, Peter, Carol Ann, and Mac”
“Samantha was wonderful. Highly responsive easy to work and provided our little man with the perfect first experience away from Home. Woke up every morning with pictures and updates while we were away and never once worried about anything. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Sam!”
“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and my family currently has four, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience caring for them over the years. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care I give my family’s dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to make time for pet care around my classes and other commitments. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and time they need. I will always treat your pet and home with care and respect. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, crate, and daily routine instructions, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and can also send updates and photos so you know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”
About: For an about the past four years I volunteered at a in home dog foster care. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes, tempers, and needs till they reached their forever homes. Dogs of all needs are welcome under my care for no additional charge. Please make mw aware of any physical or medical needs. I am a part time collage student with a year-round near campus housing. I often do not have more than one or two classes a day that do not last longer than an hour and a half. All pets cats or dogs, will be dutifully cared for and monitored. Should your animal have a feeding, bathroom or medical routine you can trust that it will be followed. Pets of all sizes, tempers, and needs are welcome. Walks and playtime will be frequent based on your pets energy level. Any grooming needs outside of the occasional brush or paw wipe down that are not strictly necessary will carry an additional fee.
“Great dog sitter and took wonderful care of my pups Moe and Bear. She worked so hard and even went above and beyond writing down the medication schedule for our pups!!! Thank you so much Johanna!!”
“Lamar and his family are absolutely amazing! We found out at the last minute that our Airbnb didn’t allow pets, and I was devastated trying to find someone I could trust to care for my little guy. From the moment we met Lamar, he made us feel so welcome and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout Gus’s stay, he sent us photos and updates, which meant so much and reassured us that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear that Lamar is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals. I am so grateful we found him, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend Lamar to anyone looking for exceptional pet-sitting services. We will absolutely choose him again whenever we’re back in Ocean City. I only wish he lived closer to us!”
“Collen was great. Wiyot is was so relaxed when I picked him up and he us usually a hyper type doodle. I would not hesitate to have Wiyot stay again. Thank you so much for a worry free visit.”
“Tanner just LOVES his quality time at Jen’s. This was an extended stay due to our vacation and it’s so nice knowing he’s being well cared for. The daily updates and cute photos puts our minds at ease. Jen is the best!”
“Sandra took the time to meet with our dogs prior to boarding, sent several updates throughout their stay, and made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Most importantly, my dogs seemed to love her. I plan to come to Sandra for any future boarding needs!”
“Debra was incredibly sweet. This was a last minute booking with the holidays 1-2 days away. Debra was incredibly responsive throughout he process. She took our dog on frequent walks, provided photos/videos and updates how he was doing. Simply put, we couldn’t have asked for more. We’d definitely recommend.”

Kate and her daughter were wonderful to our little Cricket. I was immediately put at ease when I dropped him off because they were so warm and caring. She has excellent communication and sent us lots of updates and pictures during his stay. She took great care of him and we picked up one happy doggie after our vacation. Thank you Kate!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Delmar is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 157 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Delmar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Delmar can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delmar home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delmar.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Delmar sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
