“Brandon and his whole family were taking great care of Amy, she got loads of cuddling and playing. We got photos regularly showing that she enjoyed her time there. And Amy had a great time with River (great dog company, a good girl). We will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We got daily updates and pictures. Our dog had a great time. The entire process was seamless from drop off to pick up. Will definitely be using Iwona again in the future!!!”
“Shadid was great with our pup. She did a very slow and careful introduction of our dog to her dog, which worked really well. It can take our pup a while to warm up to other dogs, but they became best friends. Shadid was very flexible which we really appreciated because our travel home from our trip was delayed due to the weather. Shadid was great at communicating and sent good photos and updates. Will definitely use Shadid again!”
“My pup enjoyed his stay at Ben's. He sent me frequent updates and photos. The big plus was the fenced backyard where Dude could play and release his energy. I will definitely choose Ben next time I need someone to take care of my pup.”
“It was a last minute book, i was having an emergency, she was gentle to book and take my 12 years old dog to day care on Sunday, and provide a picture of him. I only can say, Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Our dog had a wonderful short stay with Gail and Kris. They are everything you want when going through the stress of finding a boarding situation. Very responsive, kind, and patient. They take the time to learn as much as needed to make the experience for your dog as smooth and comfortable as possible.”
“Masha and her family took the best care of Hoagie!! They handled all of her quirks and needs, and gave her such a fun long weekend of hikes and snuggles. We would highly recommend them, and hope they’ll watch hoagie again soon’! Thank you so much, Masha!!”
“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.”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Max took wonderful care of our doggies and they will definitely stay with her again! She made them feel right at home and was really great helping each dog get comfortable in their own way. The dogs were happy and healthy when we picked them up. Wonderful place!”
“Huron and Elise took amazing care of my two dogs. I felt completely at ease while traveling as Elise kept me updated frequently with photos and shared what activities they did and how their day went in general. I would highly recommend them and look forward to booking with them again. My doggies give them 5 stars. ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our dog Freya loved her time with Dawn and came home completely exhausted (in a good way)! Dawn is also very communicative and attentive to Freya 's needs and flexible with scheduling if needed”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“I had a last-minute need for boarding our two senior pups and had a meet and greet with David. I was immediately at ease and knew our pups would be safe and well cared for. He understood their senior needs and gave them their medications, took them for very frequent potty breaks, and was understanding when there was an accident. He even handled Millie's diaper! I hope that he's available when we need to board Millie and Theo again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Derwood is $50

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.
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
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.

There are 8,187 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.

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.
