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!

Emmanuel was amazing! My pups had such a great time with him! You always hope that whoever you leave your fur babies with will treat them like you treat them. Emmanuel was this person! He gave Daisy all the pets she needed and Baxter all the new sticks he craved for. He interpreted Baxter’s “dog talk” which gave me the peace of mind that he cares deeply and provides the attention my pups needed. Highly recommend Emmanuel!

Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.

I am so pleased I was able to found boarding for my doggie Jojo with Chelsea. I was constantly kept informed by way of pictures and notes of how he was doing. My pet appeared to feel comfortable and at home. In my opinion from the updates it was due to the care and love shown to him. I’m truly grateful; this was the longest period I was away from him. I will definitely use the service in the future based on opportunity and or availability. Thank you Chelsea & family

Randi’s home is like Henley’s second home. Her family is so great with Henley and they now know all our pups little quirks and habits, which is awesome. Randi knows our pup’s feeding schedule, gives her plenty of exercise, provides toys, etc. We couldn’t ask for a better family to care for our pup while we are away.

Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!

She sent us videos and pictures daily while we were away and Hercules always looked so happy and excited to be there. Kimberly made it easy for us to confidently leave him in her care. We'll definitely book Kimberly again.

Julia's house is a dream come true for dogs and cats - fenced yard with lots of flowers and places to explore. A nice tree for shade and lots of space out back, my dog didn't want to leave! Julia is very professional, always on time, and provided lots of pics and videos. She has my highest recommendation.

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!

Erin was fantastic watching our terrier, Wally. It was his first time boarding with Rover and he can be anxious, so it was really wonderful how patient and encouraging Erin was. She took excellent care of Wally, even sending a photo and update during the overnight visit. We had a great experience and highly recommend Erin.

FAQs for Boarding - Fort Washington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort Washington on Rover is $63.27 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 6,886 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Washington. 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 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.
