“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.”
“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!”
“Andrea and Michael were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! Our lab is a bit introverted but they made her feel right at home and both dogs were very happy in the photos they sent and when we came for pickup. We had a last minute adjustment on our drop off time and they were wonderfully accommodating. I’m so grateful that they took such good care of our sweet girls!”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“My pet Ginger had a great time at Wendy's. She met other small dogs just like her that made her very comfortable and fun. I really appreciate Wendy's flexibility in drop-off and pick-up times, especially when I was traveling, and my flight was canceled.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“Jason is amazing as always! We had a last minute request and he was very accommodating. This time our pup stayed with him and Jason was absolutely fantastic. Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”
“Nicole was great with my dog! She took plenty of time to ask thoughtful questions about her habits and behaviors, and took care of her accordingly. She was very prepared and had contingency plans in case our dogs didn’t get along (but they did!) and sent photos and videos throughout the weekend.”
“Shadid watched our pup for us while we were gone for our wedding/honeymoon and she was excellent! Sent us picture updates throughout and took great care of him. Our pup got along great with her Shiba as well!”
“Ben was such a great choice! He sent us pictures of our girl regularly and kept us updated on how she was doing. Our dog Ruby is usually very scared of people and runs away at any sign of attention, but Ben was able to bring her out of her shell to the point where he was able to pet her! We will for sure be booking Ben again to care for Ruby in the future.”
“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.”
“Our dog Bonnie stayed with Theresa for 10 days. She is amazing! I didn’t worry about Bonnie for a second. Theresa was communicative, sent photos, and took great care of our girl. Highly recommend!!”
“Gina did an amazing job taking care of Titus! From start to finish, she was professional, communicative, and caring. I appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos—they truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. Titus seemed so happy and well-cared for, and it’s clear Gina went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“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.”

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!
We had a great experience with Camilo. He is super friendly and my dog had a blast. My dog has some dietary restrictions and he fulfilled our needs. He sent pictures of my dog every couple hours which was very helpful. I honestly have no complaints and would definitely recommend booking with him as I will be too in the future.
Leticia took exceptional care of our 15 year old senior dog. She was very accommodating with his special needs and he looked very comfortable during his entire stay. Leticia’s regular updates and responsiveness gave us peace of mind. We are very grateful we found Leticia and will use her services again in the future. We highly recommend her for any of your pet’s needs!
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!
Kasey was great with both my dogs. All the images show how happy they are. It looks like both dogs trusted him, especially for Oreo who is very timid and takes time to warm up to someone new. Kasey handled the dogs well and shows a great deal of experience with dogs. I will definitely reach out again the next time we need to go out of town!
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!
Mochi had another wonderful stay over the weekend with Nina! She was very accommodating to a last minute request for cat sitting, and I’m grateful we could count on her. There were daily updates on how Mochi was doing, whether or not she was eating, how anxious she seemed and how over the course of a couple days she started to relax and explore the entire house. As always, I appreciate that Nina reaches out without being prompted with pictures and videos. I can really relax on whatever trip I’m on, knowing that Nina is the one caring for Mochi.
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 Pet Boarding in Derwood on Rover is $44.4 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 8,242 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Derwood. About 91% of Derwood 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
