“Rhys had a wonderful time with Garrett and Ana! He came back so tired but was back his normal self by this morning which is unusual. It usually takes him 2-3 days to get back to normal”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“Cameron is wonderful and experienced with all breeds. She provided a safe, nurturing environment for our Plott Hound. We enjoyed getting videos of our guy during his stay. Thank you, Carmen!”
“Emmanuel was great with our 2 dogs! One of them is a little nervous and he did everything he could to help his anxiety. He sent photos and videos every day. By the end of their stay, the dogs had moved in. Already booked their next stay!”
“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!”
“Exceeded my expectations! This dynamic duo is truly a dream team. They took very good care of my Tyson since the meet and greet! They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take. This was my first time away from my baby and it’s warming to find out I was the one with separation anxiety while he had a friend and a safe space to be a dog! Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!”
“Dasia was fantastic again! It’s so great to find someone you feel comfortable to watch your pet. Dasia provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was amazing.”
“Jenny takes great care to treat your pet like family and is always our number one choice to watch our energetic lab, Junie, when we go out of town. Thanks again Jenny!”
“Absolute lifesaver!! She is extremely understanding and accommodating with our flights leaving REALLY early and landing REALLY late, and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Our 4 year old pup is (normally) super attached to us and tends to escape from the places we bring him to. After the meet and greet, we knew he’d be in good hands. He was so happy to be there and I’m sure loved every moment of it. Despite the fact he has his stubborn tendencies, I believe they enjoyed their time with him. The pics we received were great and helped us know he was good. We would absolutely love to have her watch our pup again x 100000. ? Thank youuuu !!”
“Erin was amazing and took the best care of my pup while I was out of town. I can’t recommend her enough! She kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos and that was so appreciated! If you’re looking for a responsible, fun and pup-loving sitter, contact Erin!”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Gwen was amazing!!!! This was my first time leaving my little fur baby with someone she didn’t know and Gwen made me feel so comfortable while I was away for work. She even accommodated me when my flight was delayed and the drop off time changed last minute. She really went above and beyond and I couldn’t be more grateful. She sent me photos and kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend if you want 5 star care for your pup Gwen is the way to go! I would definitely let her watch Chloe again. Not having to stress while I was away from my puppy was amazing bc I knew she was in great hands.”
“Eli was amazing! He helped us out with a very last-minute sitting request, and we’re so grateful. He was incredibly kind and caring with our dog, proactively communicated throughout the stay, and sent us lots of photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend Eli and would absolutely book with him again!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I first had hermit crabs, then parakeets, and in April 2022 I got my first dog named Luna. I had her since she was about 2 months old so I have a lot of experience with puppies who are going through potty training etc. Luna is fully grown and is about 5lbs. She is a ball of energy and will definitely give your pup a run for their money! I also have another mini poodle named Zeus. Ive had him since about 3 months and he is about 12 lbs. Zeus is very friendly and loving. My aunt also had plenty of dogs and she has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe her pets! I am definitely reliable when it comes to leaving your dog with me and I will make sure to provide updates throughout the day or night of your fur baby. I’m currently working full time during the week but I will have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekends! I am available for boarding, house sitting, day care, dog walking, or drop in visits. I live in a house with 2 mini poodles. Luna and Zeus both have a lot of energy and are very friendly dogs. They will play with your dog all day long if they could. While in the house, I can let the fur babies play and entertain each other or crate my dogs to give your fur baby some space. I allow dogs on the furniture so they are free to roam and figure out their new surroundings. If I house sit, I am efficient with checking in on your fur baby, making sure they are okay, and love giving walks. I can stop by for as long as you need on the weekends. Your fur baby will be well taken care of around me!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fort Washington is $50

Erin watched our dog, Penny, for 10 days while we were out of town. I asked to meet her and her pups before arranging such a long stay and she encouraged it :) This set my mind at ease being able to meet in person first. At drop off, I shared I was feeling a bit anxious leaving Penny for a longer stay and Erin offered to communicate often. Each day, she touched base with me at least once with pictures, videos, and messages about how Penny was doing. This made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thanks Erin!
CJ was absolutely fantastic with my dog! Having never left my pet with anyone besides family, I was quite nervous. After searching through countless sitters, I chose CJ, and I couldn't have made a better decision. He provided daily photos and updates, and the overall vibe was just perfect! My dog looked so comfortable that I wondered if she would even want to come home! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!
I had an amazing experience with Maya!!! She was incredible kind, reliable and attentive throughout the time my sky was with her. I really appreciated how quick she responded whenever I checked in, a the updates gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my sky was cared for and loved. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!!!
Hanna and Fabio are Peanut Butter’s favorites and took excellent care of him. We received timely updates and felt very comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Fabio really went above and beyond and worked with our schedule to accommodate pick up and drop offs and we really appreciate their flexibility. Thanks for everything!

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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington.
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 Fort Washington 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.
