“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!!”
“Piero took great care of our two dogs during our two-week vacation! He provided photo and video updates and was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Both dogs were happy and healthy at the end of their stay. We’d happily leave them with Piero again in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have booked Ivan twice. Both times he has been communicative providing photos and updates on a daily basis and always at least one shot of them on a walk. Norea seems relaxed and calm after her stay.”
“Chai had the absolute best time with Marissa! She stayed for 8 days and was so well loved and cared for. Chai completely bonded with Marissa's dog, Kobe—they had a blast playing together, and Chai especially loved trying to steal all of his toys. Marissa sent regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Chai was in fantastic hands. I will absolutely book with Marissa again and highly recommend her!”
“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”
“P'tit Loup had a wonderful time with a very caring family. Thank you so much Marylee and Allen! I have a lot of separation anxiety, but your pictures and texts were always there to reassure me. Take care and we will see you again 😃💖”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gracie was fabulous watching Lincoln! She was very communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos. We could tell that Lincoln was well taken care of and that Gracie made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend Gracie as a sitter!”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Karyna was the best. For this to be our first time letting Capone stay with someone other then a family member Capone really enjoyed his self. He had a lot of fun. Karyna sent us pictures of Capone and I really want to say that the person that was supposed to take care of Capone back out on us the very last minute and Karyna took Capone in for us. I recommend her to anybody that is looking for there pet to be well taken care of. Thank you so much. I know who to look for when I go out of town again. Thank you so much.”
“My dog was so excited to see Mina again ahead of her second stay! She loves her! Mina sends thorough updates and pictures each day and took wonderful care of my dog for a week. Will absolutely use her again in the future for any needs.”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Yumin was great with our senior dog…honey loved her dog coco…she sent lots of pictures and updates…we felt comfortable and happy that honey was enjoying herself while we were away…we will definitely use her again!❤️”
“Andrea and Michael couldn’t have been sweeter to our little pup. They kept us up to date with pictures and gave our little guy his daily medications. We could tell that he enjoyed his time there immensely. We have used other sitters but have never been happier than we were with Andrea and Michael. We would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.”
“Diana and her family are amazing! They were so loving towards my dog, sent updates/pictures, and were flexible with my travel plans. I would happily book with them again. 😍”

Karen took wonderful care of Munjee while we were away for nearly three weeks. We received consistent updates on how he was doing, including all sorts of pictures that he was well. Karen kept in touch with us and her communication was great. She also took time understood Munjee's reactive behavior in certain times and would do her best to accommodate. We will keep Karen in mind for future instances!
Wow, my boy, Paxton, hit the jackpot staying with Marissa and her family. Its hard handing off your boy to strangers. Within minutes of meeting them I knew it would be great and I was right. Marissa sent me daily updates including pictures. Paxton had tons of walks and play. He was treated like one of the family
Huey to the rescue! I was in desperate need of a pet sitter for this past weekend as my regular sitter was out of town as well. My boys are very important to me and so is their care when I am away, finding Huey was an absolute lifesaver. She took such great care of my fur babies over the weekend, and I will absolutely be in touch for another booking in the future.
My previous rover sitter cancelled a day before my scheduled booking. Israel was able to take my last minute booking for a long weekend with my senior disabled dog. She was very accommodating. My dog had meds that he was unwilling to take with his food even though I brought some shredded cheese for mix-ins, which turned out to be ineffective. Israel provided pill pockets and made sure my dog took his prescription meds. Israel’s was good about providing photos and status update every day. Yoshi seemed happy when I picked him up. I will definitely go back to Israel next time I need to be out of town.
John, Viona, and family took the best care of our pup, Hanks! They took him in as if he was their own while we were gone for almost 2 whole weeks. We were anxious about leaving him for that long, but once we met John and Viona, we felt at ease. While we were away, he got tons of love and attention and was treated as part of the family while with them and their own dog, Maxie. We were stress-free while traveling knowing Hanks was happy and well-cared for and we enjoyed getting photos and videos of him regularly. We would absolutely recommend John & Viona and they will definitely be our go-to, first contact when we travel from now on =)
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Derwood on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,987 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.
