“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Gisselle was fantastic and very flexible with accommodating our changing work schedules. We knew our puppy Hank was in great hands and will certainly ask Gisselle to watch him again in the future!!😊”
“Dhadid did an excellent job watching Spunky for me. She was very flexible with me and kept me up to date with Spunky by sending me pics throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Jared was wondeful. My Georgie had a great time. Jared went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable, and maintained excellent communication through out Georgie's stay. Will definitely use Jared for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Nithya was dedicated, communicative and really sweet to copper. She even gave me some good advice on e-collars when i went to pick him up. In the future i would come back to this host - well done!”
“Monika was FANTASTIC and took excellent care of my little guy. She went above and beyond by giving him a light wash around his face, due to his long hair getting slightly messy when he eats. She gave me regular updates and adorable photos of Biscuit during his stay with her and her family. He seemed very happy and upbeat when he first met her, and seemed to bond with her very quickly. I appreciated her making time to let me bring him over for an initial meet and greet, so he could get familiar with his temporary home away from. She was incredibly kind, friendly, knowledgable and had excellent response time. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Anna was amazing with our dog, Maya! They bonded instantly, and it was so comforting to see how happy Maya was in her care. Anna sent us daily updates and photos, which we loved. She truly treated Maya like her own — we couldn’t have asked for better!”
“Sean and Eve were fantastic sitters. They continually sent me pictures of Rocky and kept me up to date. They even went above and beyond and gave Rocky a bath when he got into something smelly. I appreciate the care and love they showed my dog, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“Dafni had a wonderful stay. The communication was perfect. The hosts do a great job vetting dogs with similar temperament so I felt very reassured that Dafni was in good hands during our trip away. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Thank you Marco & Margaret for the updates & photos of my pooch. I felt comfortable leaving him in your care. And thank you again for your patience with my delayed flight for pick up.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Luna was so well cared for during her stay. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When Luna wasn’t eating, she reached out right away to let me know and came up with a thoughtful solution that worked. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. She even told me Luna was one of the easiest dogs she’s watched, which was great to hear! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative dog sitter.”
“My pup always has a great stay with Wendy! She sends daily photos and updates. She also was helpful and persistent with encouraging my anxious pup to eat. We are so happy to have Wendy as our regular dog sitter!”
“Our dog Freya loved her time with Dawn and came home completely exhausted (in a good way)! Dawn is also very communicative and attentive to Freya 's needs and flexible with scheduling if needed”
“Outstanding care was provided for my Golden retriever. I'm eager to book another reservation because my dog was so happy when she was with this very kind family! She enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, Dell, and she loved playing with Dell in their large backyard. Communication with James and Nicolette was also great and they were very accommodating when I arrived late to pick-up, due to a snowstorm.”

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.
Leticia took exceptional care of our 15 year old senior dog. She was very accommodating with his special needs and he looked very comfortable during his entire stay. Leticia’s regular updates and responsiveness gave us peace of mind. We are very grateful we found Leticia and will use her services again in the future. We highly recommend her for any of your pet’s needs!
Ellie was such a lifesaver and was so great with Rhett. She kept him safe and happy and made sure to keep me updated! My dog is a bit anxious and usually takes time to recover from new situations, but he must have been pretty comfortable happy and relaxed with her because he slipped right back into routine with no fuss! Highly recommend for a smooth experience for you and your pet.

Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.
We had Siva board with Jessica and her family, and words can’t describe how happy we were with his stay! We could tell Siva received all the love and attention he needed and more! Jessica will always be our #1 choice if we need to have boarding for Siva again and highly recommend her if you need someone to look after your pup!
We had a great experience! Mango was so well taken care of, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Communication was easy from start to finish, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them. Thanks!!!
Tatyana was great as usual! This is our second time using her and she is now our exclusive sitter (assuming she's available!). Our dog, Archie was excited to see her and seemed to be right at home when we left. She always kept us informed of how Archie was doing and the activities they did together with pictures and texts. Archie looked very well taken care of! Highly recommend!!
Kasey was great with both my dogs. All the images show how happy they are. It looks like both dogs trusted him, especially for Oreo who is very timid and takes time to warm up to someone new. Kasey handled the dogs well and shows a great deal of experience with dogs. I will definitely reach out again the next time we need to go out of town!
Jeannie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my boarding request on very short notice (the same day), and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such great care of my dog and even my cousin’s dog, and it was clear they were in loving hands. She was kind, caring, and communicated with me throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates she sent! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much, Jeannie!
Buddy has stayed with Caden twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. The fact that I’ve trusted him with Buddy more than once says everything. Caden is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. Throughout each stay, he kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. Buddy always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it’s obvious he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while he’s there. It’s hard to find someone you can trust with your pet, but Caden has earned that trust. If you’re looking for a Rover sitter who is responsible, kind, and treats your dog like family, I highly recommend booking with him. I’ll definitely continue using him whenever Buddy needs a place to stay.
Mochi had another wonderful stay over the weekend with Nina! She was very accommodating to a last minute request for cat sitting, and I’m grateful we could count on her. There were daily updates on how Mochi was doing, whether or not she was eating, how anxious she seemed and how over the course of a couple days she started to relax and explore the entire house. As always, I appreciate that Nina reaches out without being prompted with pictures and videos. I can really relax on whatever trip I’m on, knowing that Nina is the one caring for Mochi.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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.
