Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!

Sophia is amazing! My dog is extremely protective at home and has a lot of anxiety but when we get to Sophia’s house, she can’t wait to get out of the car to see her. Sophia always sends pictures and keeps you updated about your dog. My dog seems to be having much more fun at her house since she takes her for walks and lets her run in the backyard. She didn’t even like the snow at our house, but from the pictures that it was amazing how much she loved the snow in Sophia‘s backyard I would recommend her highly to anyone.

Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!

Evvery took such great care of our dog Freya. I could tell through pictures and videos that Freya settled in comfortably. Evvery sent updates and pictures each day. I’m so happy Freya had a home away from home while my family was traveling. Knowing your pet is well taken care of is such a relief.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! Highly recommend! We chose Sriju, in part, based on other excellent reviews...and she did not disappoint! From our first communications and introductory meeting before we left our 11mo Goldendoodle with her, Sriju was welcoming, gentle, extremely responsive, organized, completely accommodating, and loving. This was our first time leaving Benny with someone else (we were away six days) so we were already a bit on edge; Sriju put us at ease immediately. Everyday while we were gone Sriju sent texts and pictures (usually once in AM and once in PM). She took Benny on numerous walks throughout the day as well as to the dog park. She adjusted to his needs, not the other way around, and provided an atmosphere that made Benny completely comfortable, as evidenced by his affection toward her when it was time to pick him up upon our return. We highly recommend Sriju and can't thank her enough for making our Benny feel at home while we were away...and giving us the peace of mind we needed to truly enjoy our trip. THANK YOU, Sriju!

Ivan was the perfect pet sitter for our small 2 year old shichon, Kona. I was nervous, it being the first time we left him (over a full week!) Ivan was patient with my list of care and also set me at ease with a ton of pictures and updates. His home is lovely and his care is exceptional. I am surprised Kona was willing to come home!! I would use his services again anytime. Thank you!!

Marylee and her husband were so amazing with our Iris. They indulged her with healthy foods when she was too fussy to eat her own food, give her lots of cuddles and love, and let her run off her excess energy in their huge fenced-in yard. They also sent me frequent pictures and updates. They are loving and patient and I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again, I hope!

Gracie, our little Boston Terrier, had an amazing, week long stay with Kris and Gail. They both work from home, so Gracie had unlimited attention, playtime, and snuggles. Kris took her on multiple walks around the neighborhood during the day, and they both took her to nearby lakes and parks for a good 4 mile walk each evening. We HIGHLY recommend The Spare Hoomans, Gail and Kris! We felt very comfortable leaving Gracie in their care. They sent multiple photos and videos daily, as well as texts letting us know how she was doing. We'll definitely be booking them again!

If I could give more than five stars, I would! Camilo and his wife Carolina took amazing care of my fur babies, Lola and Strider, while my family and I went on vacation. Our experience couldn’t have been better! From our initial meet-and-greet, I immediately felt at ease. Camilo and Carolina were warm, professional, and asked thoughtful questions about my dogs’ routines, habits, and personalities, which showed how attentive and caring they are. It was clear from the start that our babies would be in great hands. During our trip, they sent consistent daily photos and updates that gave us complete peace of mind. Every picture showed Lola and Strider happy, comfortable, and well exercised, and it was obvious they were being cared for like family. I especially appreciated how they tailored their care to each dog’s individual needs and energy levels, making sure both of them were happy and well looked after. When we picked them up, both dogs were relaxed and happy. Camilo and Carolina are trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for doggie care!

Tracey and her family took care of my dog ​​with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he ​​has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!

Aurora loves hanging out with Camilo and his wife! It’s like the best vacation, with multiple walks and enrichment activities everyday and someone with her at the house all day. Camilo is always my first call when I need to travel, because I know Aurora will be taken care of just as well as (or maybe even better than) if she were with me!

FAQs for Boarding - Gaithersburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gaithersburg on Rover is $45.19 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 7,860 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gaithersburg. 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 Gaithersburg 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 Gaithersburg 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 Gaithersburg 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 Gaithersburg.

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 Gaithersburg 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.
