“I appreciate you accepting my request for a sitter on such short notice!! They also sent pictures and provided updates on my pets time with them. This was his first time away so I was a little nervous but they took good care of my puppy. Thank you would definitely book again!”
“Mark and his adorable family welcomed and cared for Yukio and Pojke like one of their own! We received daily photos of our pups having THE BEST TIME, it's apparent they loved being there!! Thanks to Mark, his family and their dogs; we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying!”
“Sabrina took great care of my doggie while we were away during Thanksgiving. My little guy had a great time and made new friends. She shared lots of pics and videos while we were away. I will schedule another visit soon.”
“Diego and Natalia are excellent sitters. They took such good care of our puppy while we were gone for a week, which was not an easy task since he’s so little and needs lots of attention. We were nervous to leave him for the first time but they instantly made us feel better from the first meet and greet. They sent continuous updates, photos and videos and he got lots of exercise in their back yard. We will definitely have them watch our pup again! We are so happy to have found them.”
“We’re so grateful for Danielle! She took amazing care of our dogs, Skye and Java, while we were away. She stayed in regular communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our babies were comfortable and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.
“This was a first sitting with Monica but won’t be the last. She sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated and my pup came out tail wagging and happy and that’s what it’s all about. We will certainly see her again soon!”
“My dog stayed with Brian for 4 days. I cannot day enough great things about Brian’s dog sitting. We received photo updates 2x/day. My dog doesn’t go into a kennel, so it was especially important to find a place that he can make himself at home. Don’t hesitate to schedule a stay with Brian...pet will enjoy every bit of their stay!”
About: I've not professionally trained any pet, but I've trained every pet I've had for life, love, respect as a member of my home. Every pet has to know the boundaries so that we can live in peace and harmony with each other4. Once they learn what is and isn't acceptable, there is mutual love and respect in the house. Since I retired, I'm home most of the day except for appointments or errands. I doggie sat my grand doggie for my son quite often. Starting out, I prefer to care for pets in my home. I live in a Condo. I don't have a yard, but I do have an unfenced in Courtyard right in front of my steps. Before my son's dog, passed away last year, I used to take her to several different parks for walks as well. She also loved long rides. We walked at the National Harbour, Yards Park, Tucker's Park, and the DC Warf. While she was with me, I'd send videos to my son of how she was doing and our activities, especially while he was on travel or vacation.
“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”
About: Hi I'm Glo and I love furry friends! I grew up with lots of pets in the home and I care for the strays in local communities. Nothing compares to a fluffy feline or a cuddly canine by your side. In my spare time I volunteer with the Humane Rescue Alliance as a foster fur parent. Previously I used to do in- home and overnight pet sitting on a similar app and for close friends. Meeting and making furry friends is not new to me nor does it ever get old. I can make your pet feel right at home while you can have a peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Let's start a furry friendship today! My current schedule allows for open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. With 24/7 supervision I'm available for boarding both overnight and longer stays to make your dog feel right at home. Im in a 5 bedroom home with minimal space being occupied. I have a 6 foot secured privacy fence surrounding a fairly large yard. I reserve separate areas by size and temperament or can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I am a full time dog mom and I love little dogs. I'll treat and care for your pets just as if thery are my own! I am currently a stay at home dog mom with a fenced in yard and have time during the day and evenings to watch over your pet. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies for your pet to pay with, we love going on neighborhood walks and cuddling. I also have a crate if your pets need one.
“Patience is outstanding! Warm, compassionate, and caring, with consistent communication and videos throughout our dog’s time with her. She went above and beyond with our extreme flight delays, and she is simply a wonderful human being and fantastic dog sitter. Will absolutely book her again!!!! What a life saver and wonderful person all around.”
“I absolutely love and adore Linda's care and attention to Lincoln. He always have the best time with Lucy (Linda's Rotti), and we feel VERY comfortable when Lincoln's on Linda's care. Highly recommend”
“Caleb was a perfect sitter. He was flexible and communicative and made sure my dog was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Already booked for another stay, highly recommend.”
“Kathleen was great! I booked her for my puppy very last minute and she took care of him. I forgot his food and she accommodated him as I sent her money and he came back so happy.”
“Melanie was wonderful to work with - an easy going person overall, responsive to messages, and provided daily pictures. Plus, before my dog went to stay with her for the first time, Melanie was happy to do a “meet and greet” with us on a week night. It’s obvious she loves dogs and they love her too 😊”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“I would definitely recommend Aniya to look after your pet. Aniya sent updates and pictures to let us know how our little one was doing. She responded very quickly to any messages that we sent. Additionally, Aniya was very reasonably priced. I definitely plan to use Aniya again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
This sitter has restored our hope in leaving our little guy with someone who truly cares for and spoils him. She’s very responsive and sends updates frequently. Drop off and pick up is smooth and we have no complaints. She even taught him how to go up and down stairs and a few manners. We have rebooked several times and plan to continue.
Carlton was great! He was professional, punctual, friendly, and took great care of my girl. She’s seven years old, and thanks to Carlton, I just found out she really enjoys watching football! Cool! I felt completely comfortable leaving her with him and will definitely use his services again. Highly recommend!
Thanks for taking Roo with short notice! She always has a good time and is happy to go to see Ciera. She is happy when she comes home and doesn’t seem stressed at all. I know Roo is cared for by photo updates of her being a ham! Will be my go to boarder after 2 perfect and stress free bookings! So easy to drop off, and communicate clearly without hassle. ❤️
Anthony was great with my girls. Very patient and understanding with this being the first time my girls go onboarding. Will communicate and respond quickly if I needed an update. I would definitely trust him again to watch my girls and recommend to my friends and family.
Brieana and her family were absolutely amazing! We had a last minute cancellation with the person who typically watches Vito and she responded immediately and set up a meet greet. We could sense the comfort Vito felt with the family the second he walked in so we already had an overwhelming feeling of calm going into our weekend. When picking him up he was so happy but also super relaxed and it was clear he had a great stay with them. I couldn’t suggest Brieana enough. She will be at the top of our list for Vito I’m pretty sure he’s found a new best friend 😊.
Ashley is super amazing. She gave constant updates when watching my dog Scooby and even took him on a pup cup visit which I've never heard of but will definitely start taking him after seeing how much fun he had. I will definitely recommend Ashley to watch your fur baby and if I could would give her more that 5 stars. 10 out of 10 recommend
The week Kevin watch my dogs was the snow storm week. He was very accommodating from the begin to the end, understanding the circumstances due to the pending weather. I was so grateful for his help and support while watching my boys. My boys were taken care of and was so happy to be safe during my travel away/snow storm. Kevin is a blessing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Forestville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Forestville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Forestville home-away-from-home, 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 Forestville.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Forestville 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 , 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 .
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.
