“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Arlene was everything a petsitter should be…reliant, kind, level-headed and doting. We were visiting New Bern on our boat and had an unexpected trip to take. Knowing nobody in town, we turned to Rover (first-time users) and found Arlene. She was great! Sent photos and an update daily, and was flexible when we had to add an extra day to our trip.”
“Tina is great with Alex. She responded to my message quickly. She sent photos of Alex to let me know how he is doing. I will use her service again when I am in the area.”
“I was nervous leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time. Ashley was great. We did a meet-and-greet before the stay, even though it was relatively short notice. That was helpful in seeing the house, nice big yard, and meeting her dogs. She let me know ahead of time that there was another dog who would be staying there at the same time. She was communicative during the stay and kept me updated with pictures multiple times a day every day, which I appreciated.”
“Donna and Scott were amazing watching by our sweet Emma! Updates and pictures were sent constantly which we loved to see and made us feel at ease! I can tell they loved our girl like their own. Definitely recommend ?”
“Jennifer and Juan did a great job taking care of our Cavapoo, Lucy while we were away for a week! They sent us pictures every day, took Lucy for walks and were very flexible with scheduling! We’re so thankful they took such great care of Lucy and when we picked her up she seemed so happy! Thanks again! 😊🐶”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“The BEST dog sitter! Hannah and her family welcomed our two pups with open arms!! She was genuinely just a wonderful person. She understood that pups can be anxious when staying at a new place so she was extremely loving and made sure they felt right at home! She sent pictures and updates everyday which I really appreciated as well! We will 100% use her again when we are traveling through the area. Thank you Hannah and family!”
“Chris, Rob, and Carla absolutely spoiled our pup (in the best way!!) They treated Alphonse like their own and provided lots of walks, attention, and yummy treats! I think Alphonse will be thrilled the next time we go out of town and he gets his own vacation with this family again. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“Priscila has kept our dog while we were away on several vacations. He is happy and well cared for, and we never worry about him. Her house is truly his home away from home!”
About: I believe animals are essential to human health. I have had pets for as long as I have been alive. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a horse, a pony, and 2 alpacas. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I telework, so I am home most of the day with my fur babies. With my variety of fur babies, I have a seamless regular daily routine for pet care. Because I telework, I am home most of the day. I have a very large fenced yard with lots of room to run and play. I spend most of my day in the company of my fur babies.
“Our dog Hank is a small mixed-breed dog with lots of energy. He had a blast staying with Marne and John. We received daily pictures and were so happy he was in such great care. The backyard has lots of space to run around and they had lots of toys. We met with Marne as our dog and theirs got to know each other. She was very friendly and helpful with getting the dogs introduced. We definitely recommend them.”
About: I grew up in a dog-loving home—there was never a time we didn’t have a furry friend in the family. Since my very first pet, I’ve enjoyed caring for animals. Now as an adult, I have a dog and a cat of my own. My pup is a high-energy guy that I’ve raised since he was a puppy. We went through all the training together—lots of patience, consistency, and treats!—and now he’s a well-behaved, happy companion who keeps me on my toes. My cat is curious and full of personality, always finding new spots to nap and new ways to charm everyone. Fun Facts Just About Me: I moved to Hagerstown with my husband, 2 dogs and cat a few years ago. My husband and I recently got married in May 2026. I play adult softball and kickball. I love to be outside whether it's walking the dogs, attempting to garden or being on the water. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to spend lots of quality time with my pets throughout the day, and I’d love to extend that care and attention to your furry family members too. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or just offering companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard that offers plenty of room for pets to run and play safely. We also have sidewalks throughout the neighborhood perfect for walks, a puppy play pen for supervised fun, and plenty of space to crate pets comfortably if needed. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I carefully manage food, toys, and any medications. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are out of reach, and I maintain open communication with owners about any special needs or behaviors. Building trust with pets and their families is important to me, so I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs.
“Sadie loves staying with Heidi and her family when we are away. I know she is taken care of and can enjoy our trip! She also loves playing with Heidi's dogs and running in the yard! I appreciate the daily photos and videos Heidi shares of Sadie so much 💖”
“We had such a great experience with Joanne and she took such great care of our dog even with a very last minute booking. We are so glad we found her, highly recommend!”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
“Dorian and family took our last minute request and our two dogs, a big puppy & a small old guy and acclimated them into their family for two nights. So very helpful & kind!”

I'm so pleased! Roger felt right at home and it makes me feel confident that I'm leaving him on good hands. I'm so grateful for the chance to have sitters like Jeannie and Robert! Will be re-booking again. Thank you and your family for the extra toys and spoiling my sweet boy while he stayed with you!!
Kelsey was extremely flexible with a last minute booking… literally the afternoon before an early morning drop off. She kept me updated on my pupper the whole time with messages and pictures. I also had an undetermined pickup time and they were very understanding. Willow enjoyed her time there and came home worn out. I would recommend them 1000 times over and will use them again, no questions asked.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Funkstown is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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.
95% of sitters in Funkstown 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 Funkstown 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 Funkstown.
<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 Funkstown 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.
