“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.”
“Leaving my fur babies with Dana was the best experience for my fur babies and myself. Dana sent us videos every morning and was extremely accommodating. I will definitely be booking again with Dana.”
“BLUF: My dog came home happy and exhausted. I'd use Cameron again in a heartbeat! Drake (75-lb lab) had the time of his life over an extended weekend with Cameron. Cameron came to our rescue when our existing weekend plans fell through. Her dog Cherry, a Sheepadoodle, is his new BFF. Cameron had another dog staying with her as well, and the 3 of them made a very active pack. Based on his step count, he didn't stop running around the entire time! Cameron has a fenced back yard on a quiet street. Dogs are allowed on the furniture (my dog prefers to sleep on the couch, so this was important). Cherry is a wonderful host as well, and an absolute doll.”
“Tammey was outstanding with my pup. It was a 2 week period and she communicated often to let me know how everything was going. My Bella had a great time and I felt assured she was safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend Tammey and won’t hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“Brain, like always takes care of my dog like it was his own. When my dog sees him he runs to hon to greet him. Leaving my dog with him is a peace of mind. Bob (Brian's dog) has the same temperament as my dog and they get along great. Brian gives me multiple updates with pictures throughout the day. Thank you Brian!”
“Randi was amazing with our puppy, Henley, and provided her with a home away from home. She provided us with daily pics of their adventures and ensured she got the right amount of exercise and down time, as our pup is quite energetic. We will definitely use her again and again!”
“Rae took great care of Jesse for a week. She has lots Of toys and activities for the busy pet. I’m so glad my dog also got to enjoy a vacation. I would rebook with Rae.”
“Anna is amazing!! She was so good with our pretty anxious pup and sent us a lot of pictures throughout the weekend — we were always at ease knowing that Ellie was comfortable and having a great time. Anna’s two dogs are also so sweet, and we loved that Ellie had companions all weekend. If you live in DC, definitely worth driving out to Anna’s place for your pup to escape the city for a bit and hang out with this wonderful sitter!!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Alana made us feel completely at ease. She clearly love dogs and treated mine like part of the family. I received regular updates and my fur babies came back happy and healthy. I definitely recommend her services.”
“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Washington
We had a wonderful experience with Dana! From the moment we met her, our dog Gio seemed comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Throughout his stay, Dana kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that Gio was happy, well cared for, and receiving lots of attention. Dana was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
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.
Randi’s communication throughout the booking/boarding/pickup process was prompt and professional. During the pet boarding period, Randi provided daily updates and photos to reassure us our pup was doing well and thriving during his stay. I highly recommend Randi and will definitely be booking again!
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!

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 .

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.
95% 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.
