“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!!”
“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.”
“Had my 5 year old Westie stay with Piero’s family for labor day weekend & had an amazing experience! Piero was communicative & provided updates throughout Summer’s stay. He also groomed her which was an added plus! Will definitely be using Piero again in the future!”
“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.”
“Rosie continues to love to go to Sophia’s. Other than family members she’s the only one that was warmed up to and loves to see her. I can’t say enough about her. She lets the dogs run in the backyard and she also walks them. she’s so caring and passionate and sends updates daily!”
“Ivan was great! Frequent updates and photos of my dog, so I could focus on my trip with peace of mind. Great meet-and-greet experience with his dog, thoughtful consideration of my aging dog’s discomfort with her leg. Such a great stay for my dog. Thank you, Ivan!”
“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”
“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!! 💌”
“We left Lucky, our 9-year-old shepherd-lab mix, with Christopher for a week. It was the first time we engaged Christopher. Lucky usually has some anxiety during dropoff and with men, but Christopher immediately sensed it and decided to take him for a walk before I left. I appreciated that a lot. On past occasions, the anxiety has often meant Lucky doesn't eat for 1-2 days, or has an upset stomach--none of that happened this time. We got pictures and videos every day, and Christopher was responsive throughout. We will definitely want to use his boarding services again for Lucky.”
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
“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.”
“Shadid was great! She made me feel very comfortable (and my puppy)! She sent me multiple pictures and a video even though it was a 14 hour stay. It was easy to fall asleep knowing daisy was in great hands!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derwood
Aurora loves hanging out with Camilo and his wife! It’s like the best vacation, with multiple walks and enrichment activities everyday and someone with her at the house all day. Camilo is always my first call when I need to travel, because I know Aurora will be taken care of just as well as (or maybe even better than) if she were with me!
John took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I got a mixture of pictures daily from my dog playing as well as taking napping breaks. I loved the good morning and good night check ins so I knew my dog was ok while I was gone. I would gladly book another stay with John and am happy I found a reliable sitter in my neighborhood.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Yumin. She took wonderful care of our dog Wilson while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout, always keeping us in the loop, and sent update photos that gave us real peace of mind. Best of all, Wilson seemed genuinely happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely recommend Yumin and would happily book her again.
Carlos was very welcoming of Ruby into his home. We felt completely comfortable leaving Ruby in his care for the three weeks we were out of town, and appreciated the photo and text updates. Ruby came back to us looking well cared for. We certainly will be a repeat customer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Derwood on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,970 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.
