“Gisselle took such great care of our puppy, Moo, while we were away for a week. She kept us updated throughout our vacation with adorable pictures and let us know how Moo was doing each day. Even when Moo had a few accidents, Gisselle made us feel completely at ease and reassured us that she was in good hands. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave Moo and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We would absolutely recommend Gisselle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby!”
“Sharon took great care of our dog! The first thing our dog did at dropoff was poop on against Sharon's rug (yikes!), but she was kind and understanding. She also sent lots of pictures and updates.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first connected, Tatyana was kind, professional, and truly caring. They treated my pup like family—sending me regular updates, pictures, and even little notes about how the day was going. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved.”
“Marissa was truly incredible with Sumo! She kept in constant contact, sending pics and videos so I always knew he was happy and cared for. When he wasn’t feeling well for a couple of days, she even went above and beyond by making him fresh chicken and rice—something I appreciated more than she knows. She is an excellent sitter, incredibly caring, and someone I would 100% recommend and rebook without hesitation. Thank you so much, Marissa!”
“My dog is very anxious which is why I moved her from a kennel to Ana. And she loves just being with people. Ana and her family gave me regular updates and pictures which set me at ease. They really loved her like we do. And she followed the routine which made it easy to transition her back to home. I will definitely use her again.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
About: If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog the same way you do, you just found her. I’m a devoted dog owner who knows how hard it is to find a reliable, loving, and compassionate sitter. After struggling to find the right care for my own huskies, I decided to become the kind of sitter I would trust with my own dogs. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, often caring for multiple dogs at once. Animals have always been naturally drawn to me, and I believe that comes from the genuine love and calm energy I bring to them. Today, I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. I have a cozy, fully fenced backyard and a calm home environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. I share my home with my two friendly huskies. I walk them several times a day, and if your dog is comfortable, we can walk them together. If not, I’m happy to walk them separately to respect their needs. Dogs are not allowed on beds, but they are welcome on the couch. There are multiple dog beds around the house, along with plenty of toys and enrichment. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are spayed or neutered, and I require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure all dogs are a good fit. For safety reasons, I do not accept dogs with active health issues, as I want to ensure every pet in my care receives the attention they deserve within my level of expertise. My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for. There will be walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love. 🐾 I work from home full time and run my own business, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment. I have a fully fenced backyard and a doggy door that allows dogs to go in and out freely, giving them autonomy while still being supervised. My home is set up with multiple dog beds, toys, and enrichment options to keep dogs comfortable and engaged. I have two friendly huskies, and I always prioritize safe introductions. I require a meet and greet beforehand to ensure all dogs are a good fit and comfortable together. Dogs are supervised at all times, and I follow each pet’s routine closely. If needed, I can separate dogs for feeding, rest, or walks to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a stress free, structured, and loving environment where your dog feels at home.
“Gisela is sweet, friendly, and organized. Booking this vacation with her was easy and straightforward, and I will most definitely be a repeat customer! I never had to wonder how the dogs were doing - she sent pictures and updates each day which was such a nice touch and put me at ease. My dogs are far from "easy going" dogs but she handled their quirks like a champ! Highly recommended.”
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.
“Kallie didn't want to come home! She was pampered beyond a doggie spa vacation. Tracey, Kevin, and family took amazing care of our sweet puppy. I highly recommend them for attentive and loving care of your dog. They were so amazing that we already requested two more future bookings.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our puppy was nervous and sad at first but quickly warmed up! We received pictures and updates of him throughout his stay! 10/10”
“Gina did a fantastic job watching our senior dog, Cyrus, while we were away on vacation. She provided regular updates, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Cyrus was being well cared for and comfortable the entire time. We highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Gina, for giving Cyrus the best care!”
“Chash, we can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you gave our pup this week! Tons of walks, play time and cuddles.. we couldn’t ask for anything more! We would HIGHLY recommend Chash to anyone that wants their fur baby to be well loved. We so appreciated all the daily updates and photos. And even sending our pup home with some sweet new treats, so thoughtful! Our dog Birdie can’t wait to stay with Chash again 💕”
“Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)”
“Shadid watched our pup for us while we were gone for our wedding/honeymoon and she was excellent! Sent us picture updates throughout and took great care of him. Our pup got along great with her Shiba as well!”
“Kathy was the best! Rumi felt relaxed and comfortable all weekend, and Kathy provided lovely video updates. It was so nice to have such a peace of mind knowing Rumi was safe and in great hands!”
“Davis is always great with Scrappy and Lucky! They even knew where we were when we arrived. They were very excited and knocked on the door themselves. David is very accommodating if situations arise and I highly recommend.”
“Dawn was a terrific choice for our dogs. Both our dogs felt at home and were treated with the best care! Dawn kept us informed throughout the entire weekend with updates and pictures. We definitely will book again!”

Huan was the absolute BEST with our Chip. She was so loving, so attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure his needs were understood and he was safely cared for as a senior dog. She was extra attentive to his feeding needs and went above and beyond to ensure our picky eater ate well. Huan is very communicative and responsive. We already have Chip booked to see her again!
Chai had the absolute best time with Marissa! She stayed for 8 days and was so well loved and cared for. Chai completely bonded with Marissa's dog, Kobe—they had a blast playing together, and Chai especially loved trying to steal all of his toys. Marissa sent regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Chai was in fantastic hands. I will absolutely book with Marissa again and highly recommend her!
Nathalie is excellent! Highly Recommend! I booked her for the first time over the weekend and she exceeded all my expectations! Communication was fantastic from the very beginning — she’s super easy to talk to and replied to all my messages extremely quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, so I never felt out of the loop. It was clear she genuinely loves dogs and is very responsible. I’m already planning to book her again for our next trip. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter, look no further — she’s fantastic! Thank you so much! 🐾
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!
Elise made us feel at ease with Kona! Elise sent multiple photos each day as well as updates. We could tell Elise is experienced due to the care she took with managing introductions among other pups in her care. Also, Elise has such a sweet family which Kona loved spending the weekend with.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew they were in great hands. They provided regular updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked my dog up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. I truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and professionalism throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their furry family member!
Monika was such a great sitter for our Bernese Mountain dog, Samson. Communicating with her was so easy, and it was clear that Samson was in very good and caring hands. I would highly recommend her and I'm sure Samson is looking forward to getting to spend time at her house in the future, and especially seeing the rest of her family again.
Lucas was absolutely wonderful at caring for Dimples for over a week! Lucaas seems to have a natural ability to connect with dogs. He was incredibly flexible to allow me to drop off my dog on July 4th. He was also easy to coordinate and communicate with, and he kept my family, and particularly my kids, happy with regular pictures and updates. Dimples was so lucky to have the dedicated attention of both Lucas and his mother. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for fantastic care for their dog!"
My first time meeting Cristauna and her family was very warm. They welcomed me into their home and introduced me to their family. They were very comfortable to speak with and answered all my questions. My pet Koda, who has anxiety, warmed right up to them. When I turned to leave, Koda walked away without even jumping up on me to say bye. That was a first! As he would always want to leave with me. I received lots of great pictures of Koda settling in and going on walks within the neighborhood. Seeing the pictures really helped me relax and focus on our family event. When I returned, I could tell Koda enjoyed his stay. When we got home, he went to bed....and slept well. I highly recommend Cristauna and her family and would not hesitate to leave Koda in their care in the future!
Anna and her family did a great job of watching my dog Mazie. It was the first time she stayed with Anna, and I will definitely be booking with her again. My dog has some anxiety with new places but she did great there. There were alot of thunderstorms, which my dog is scared of, and she did all the right things keeping her calm. She got lots of walks, time outside and was really taken care of.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Gaithersburg on Rover is $44.4 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 8,133 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gaithersburg. About 91% of Gaithersburg 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.

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.
