“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.
“FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Highly recommend! We chose Sriju, in part, based on other excellent reviews...and she did not disappoint! From our first communications and introductory meeting before we left our 11mo Goldendoodle with her, Sriju was welcoming, gentle, extremely responsive, organized, completely accommodating, and loving. This was our first time leaving Benny with someone else (we were away six days) so we were already a bit on edge; Sriju put us at ease immediately. Everyday while we were gone Sriju sent texts and pictures (usually once in AM and once in PM). She took Benny on numerous walks throughout the day as well as to the dog park. She adjusted to his needs, not the other way around, and provided an atmosphere that made Benny completely comfortable, as evidenced by his affection toward her when it was time to pick him up upon our return. We highly recommend Sriju and can't thank her enough for making our Benny feel at home while we were away...and giving us the peace of mind we needed to truly enjoy our trip. THANK YOU, Sriju!”
“Chris (and Maria) were great hosts for our Remy and welcomed her into their home. Chris kept us updated with photos and videos which was very helpful. We could see Remy was really comfortable with them. They looked after her food and meds needs and it looks like Chris gave her plenty of exercise as well which is a huge plus with the backyard. Remy returned to us just how we had left her with them. Would recommend Chris for tremendous empathy with animals and also excellent communication and updates.”
“I used Carlos for the first time and had a great experience! Drop-off and pick-up were super easy and convenient. My dog seemed happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“My energetic 60 lb mix had a blast playing with Kobe non stop and Marissa et al took really good care of him. He came home all happy and tired. We will definitely be booking again stay again since it worked out so well! Big thank you!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Amazing. They were so caring and their dog is probably the most friendly friend our dog has ever gotten the pleasure of playing and living with over the span of almost a week. We got tons of pictures during the course of the stay, and felt that we were in truly caring hands. Never had a worry. Our dog is definitely looking forward to the next time we send her over lol. 10/10”
“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“She is my go to person always for our pup . On time communication , I never have to follow up on how my dog is doing and I know our pup is in safe hands :) 200% recommend her .”
“Nicole was even better than I hoped. She was very attentive to my aging dog, and went above and beyond in accommodating her and making her feel at home. Even Nicole's dog took care of Bryn, letting her sleep in his bed and letting her drink water before he did. I was worried about choosing an apartment caregiver, but it turned to be perfect - carpeted halls and elevators made it easy for Bryn to get around.”

Camilo and Carolina too wonderful care of my dogs when I traveled and they kept me updated. It was my first time leaving my dogs with them, but from their updates I could tell that my dogs were in excellent hands and that made me feel at ease. The dogs had plenty of fun playing, they went on walks and had some cuddle time. When my return flight was canceled and I needed additional time, they were so understanding and flexible. I would definitely recommend them because they took great care of my dogs, and they are professional and friendly people.
Carlos and Travis took care care of my two boys over a weekend, and were very accommodating when I had a flight cancelations and had to extend another night. My small one had nervous stomach issues and they were communicative and took care of him. Thank you for the peace of mind and loving hands!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew they were in great hands. They provided regular updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked my dog up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. I truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and professionalism throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their furry family member!
Lucas was absolutely wonderful at caring for Dimples for over a week! Lucaas seems to have a natural ability to connect with dogs. He was incredibly flexible to allow me to drop off my dog on July 4th. He was also easy to coordinate and communicate with, and he kept my family, and particularly my kids, happy with regular pictures and updates. Dimples was so lucky to have the dedicated attention of both Lucas and his mother. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for fantastic care for their dog!"
Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!
My husband and I travel frequently throughout the year, and for the past two and a half years, our dog Hendrix has always stayed with the same sitter. After unexpectedly learning that our longtime sitter was relocating out of state, we were understandably nervous about finding someone new. Thankfully, our experience with Mina couldn’t have been better! From our very first conversation through the duration of Hendrix’s stay, Mina was warm, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with timely messages and adorable photos without ever being asked, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. When our return flight was unexpectedly delayed, she was both understanding and flexible, which we genuinely appreciated. If you’re considering booking with Mina, I recommend her without hesitation. We’re so grateful to have found someone who is not only kind, but also reliable and trustworthy. We look forward to booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Mina!
Ellie was such a lifesaver and was so great with Rhett. She kept him safe and happy and made sure to keep me updated! My dog is a bit anxious and usually takes time to recover from new situations, but he must have been pretty comfortable happy and relaxed with her because he slipped right back into routine with no fuss! Highly recommend for a smooth experience for you and your pet.
Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.
We had Siva board with Jessica and her family, and words can’t describe how happy we were with his stay! We could tell Siva received all the love and attention he needed and more! Jessica will always be our #1 choice if we need to have boarding for Siva again and highly recommend her if you need someone to look after your pup!
Jeannie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my boarding request on very short notice (the same day), and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such great care of my dog and even my cousin’s dog, and it was clear they were in loving hands. She was kind, caring, and communicated with me throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates she sent! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much, Jeannie!
Iwona was a fantastic sitter and I will definitely be using her again to watch our fur baby. She took such good care of our pup and gave us daily updates with pictures. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our baby was given love and being taken care of. I highly recommend booking with Iwona!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Derwood on Rover is $44.67 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,042 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Derwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Derwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Derwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Derwood home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Derwood.
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 Derwood 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
