“Lucy was well taken care of at Renee's. I had peace of mind while I was away and Renee communicated when she needed advice about Lucy. I would recommend Renee for anyone needing a place their dog.”
“Emily was able to watch our dogs with no notice. She was awesome and so caring. Definitely would have my pups stay with her again. She has a great property for the dogs to run loose. They loved it!”
“Arlene is a God send!! We had a very bad experience with another Rover and were quite hesitant to trust another, but when we met Arlene it was a match made in heaven. We don’t trust anyone else with our dog. She truly cares about him and he’s ALWAYS excited to see her when we leave town. She really does treat our dog like her own. Arlene is the best!!!”
“Tina is the best!! Luna loves staying with her. It gives us such peace of mind when we are away to know that she's being well taken care of. She is actually very spoiled. 🙂 we will definitely be booking again the next time we need someone to watch Luna. Thank you for loving her!! 🥰”
“Ashley was great. My dog was a little nervous at the meet greet. She took it in stride. She was excited to see him on drop off day and sent videos and/or pictures several times each day to update us on how he was doing. He had a blast! We will definitely ask her to care for him again.”
“Min & Matthew were great! My pup has some anxiety problems. They were very patient with her and were able to settle her down without using the medication I sent just in case she needed it. I loved all the pictures and videos. They gave our dog lots of love and snuggles. Will absolutely will be using them again in the future.”
“Shaynna and her children took such good care of Teddy, yet again! Shaynna is so kind and amazing and she always takes care of Teddy’s needs perfectly. I have no worries when my baby boy is with her and her family and I’m beyond grateful for them! ❤️”
“I cannot recommend Stephanie enough! From the moment I dropped him off, Stephanie kept in constant contact with me, sending me updates and photos of Jax having the time of his life. I felt completely at ease leaving Jax in her capable hands. And when I picked him up, Jax was happy, healthy, and had clearly been well taken care of. Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Jax had everything he needed - from plenty of playtime to lots of cuddles and attention. If you're looking for a Rover who will give your furry friend the love and care they deserve, look no further than Stephanie. She's simply the best!”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Lottie Dotti appears to have had the best time - I know this because she has been sleeping now for the last 24 hrs 😂 played hard!! I appreciate all the photos and videos so I know my baby is doing well and happy. Will definitely use again!!”
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.
“Very thankful!! Bingo had a great time!!! This was my first time leaving her. Marne was very understanding and send me lots of pictures!!! Thank you! We will see you soon!”
“Leah was just fantastic! I had a situation arise that precipitated the need to find someplace for my two boys a.s.a.p. and I am so thankful she was available. She treated them like her own, and they got along well with her two little fur babies too. They must've had a LOT of fun pn her beautiful property because they basically slept for the next 24 hours. So happy to have found Leah and it's great that she is so close too.”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“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!”
“Juliana is hands down THE BEST! She is super knowledgeable about how to best introduce your pup to hers. Her house is a haven for pups, with a nice big fenced yard, plenty of toys, and lots of soft places for naps. My sweet old man absolutely loved his time with her, and we will absolutely be using her for all of our boarding going forward!”
“Fantastic experience for our first time. Iesha is professional, communicative and Rocko felt at home. He played well with his new brother from another mother and enjoyed a lot of outdoor play in their fenced in yard. We received updates as well as pictures while we were away.. I highly recommend in-home pet sitting with Iesha!”

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.
