I dropped by little guy off with apprehension as he had recently been neutered and still had his cone on. But Francis took great care of him and returned him to me happy and healthy. We’ll be back!

Mike was awesome with our dog Winnie over the holidays. She seemed totally at ease at his house and he was diligent about her medicine and some of her older dog needs. The daily photos were much appreciated. We will totally book with Mike again!

This was our first time using Tanita & Terrence's boarding services for our Coco. Our trip was last minute and they were so accommodating. Coco had an AMAZING time and they treated her just like a member of their family! We were kept updated with messages and pictures throughout her stay. We have found another great family to trust our girl with! Thank you both for taking great care of my schloopy! 🩷🐾

Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.

Russ & Andi have been my go-to Rover for years. Initially with my first Frenchie who I lost in 2019 and then I immediately reconnected the second I added a new Frenchie to the fam to see if they were by chance still Rovering. Ever since, they have been absolutely wonderful caring for both of my guys. Beyond providing a caring and nurturing household, they are always very attentive to any unexpected medical issues that may arise while I'm away and incredibly responsive with new requests. Not to mention, they have been amazingly flexible and accommodating whenever my often unpredictable work / travel schedule throws me a curveball. You simply couldn't ask for a better family to care for your pups! Just make sure your pups get along well with Frenchies so my boys don't have to compete for availability or laptime too much. 😉

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.

Jona and Henry were absolutely fantastic with our puppy Mochi. I had provided a cheat sheet to help guide them regarding our puppy’s current schedule and temperament and Jona took the time to read it and ask questions. She provided amazing detailed updates and photos of not just our puppy but also his meals. We couldn’t have left Mochi in better hands and we will definitely be leaving him with Jona and Henry again in the future.

Dan boarded my niece's beagle and my lab mutt over Christmas week, and I couldn't be happier for how the pups got to spend their holiday. As a former dog owner, their home and yard is very dog friendly, and it was clear they enjoyed the stay and the attention they were able to constantly coax out of Dan and his daughters. They were even able to relax and hang out with the resident cat. I highly recommend Dan if you need to board your dog for any reason.

Erin was absolutely amazing in taking care of Meelo. She treated my fur baby like one of her own. She took Meelo on long walks every morning and Meelo enjoyed every little of it. She sent me videos and pictures to sho me how Meelo was doing. I’ll definitely use Erin again and also recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is great with dogs.

She was wonderful! Was able to take my cats last minute, on July 4th when my AC died. She asked all the right questions to make sure my cats had everything they needed before I dropped them off. And she sent me messages and pictures updating me of how my cats were doing.

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 Pet Boarding in Fort Washington on Rover is $63.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 7,097 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fort Washington. About 90% of Fort Washington 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
