So glad we found Nithya! She was available on short notice, super responsive, and very accommodating. Maestro was exhausted when he got home so he must have had lots of fun with Nithya and her other pups 😊.

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.

Brianna was very responsive and flexible. My dog is high energy and she came back tired, which was great. She enjoyed play time with Brianna’s dog. My flight was delayed and she super flexible with me on my pick up time.

Sharon is amazing. She took great care of our little hound girls. Our newest girl is quite shy and it was amazing how quickly she warmed up to Sharon — dogs must know great caregivers instinctively ;-) Communication was also excellent.

Todd took great care of Sunny. He has a comfortable home and it was an exiting time for Sunny to meet new human friends and doggie friends. Todd made the effort to take Sunny on long walks in the park. I’m sure that made Sunny happy. I would highly recommend Todd as a sitter!

About: Hi! My husband and I are a young professional couple living in a clean, smoke-free two-level condo located in a quiet townhome community in Montgomery County. We do not have children, which allows us to provide a calm and relaxed environment where visiting dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I am a middle school math teacher who currently works part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. During the summer, I am off from school and have even greater availability for boarding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I grew up with a Chihuahua and have always enjoyed being around dogs. Having a pet as part of the family taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing a loving environment where dogs feel secure and cared for. As a teacher, I am responsible, dependable, and detail-oriented. I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention and affection, and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. To ensure each dog receives personalized attention and a low-stress experience, we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to focus on your pet’s individual needs and provide a quieter, more comfortable stay. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, I will do my best to make them feel like part of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am a middle school math teacher who currently works part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care for your dog. During the summer months, I am off from school and have even greater availability for boarding. My husband works remotely from home, which means there is often someone home throughout the day. We both enjoy an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making walks, playtime, and companionship a natural part of our routine. While there may occasionally be short periods when we are out running errands, working, or attending activities, we prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment for every dog in our care. We strive to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. My husband and I live in a clean, smoke-free two-level condo in a quiet, dog-friendly townhome community. We do not have children or other pets, which allows us to provide a calm, comfortable, and low-stress environment for visiting dogs. Our neighborhood has plenty of sidewalks and walking paths and is home to many fellow dog owners, making it ideal for regular walks and outdoor time. I grew up with a Chihuahua and understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. We take the time to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they are with us. To provide individualized attention and a more relaxed experience, we only host one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to focus on your pet’s specific needs and maintain a consistent routine throughout their stay. My husband works remotely from home, and I have a flexible schedule, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. We will follow your dog’s feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines as closely as possible and provide photo updates and check-ins throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities, and we will care for them as if they were our own. We are best suited for small to medium-sized dogs that enjoy a calm home environment.

Kathy did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs, and they are a good bit of work! One dog is 14 months old, with never ending energy and curiosity. We adopted her 6 months ago, and she is working through anxiety. She was not anxious at all with Kathy! Kathy's granddaughter was with them for part of the week and we heard the two of them became fast friends and were inseparable. Our second dog is 13years old, much lower energy, a picky eater, has medicine that is a game to get her to take. Kathy was great with our old pup as well! She ate most meals, took all her medicine, and looked very content. Kathy sent pictures, videos and updates twice a day, so we knew how they were doing everyday. I highly recommend Kathy to take care of your pups and will ask Kathy to take care of our dogs if available the next time we are out of town.

Andrea and Michael couldn’t have been sweeter to our little pup. They kept us up to date with pictures and gave our little guy his daily medications. We could tell that he enjoyed his time there immensely. We have used other sitters but have never been happier than we were with Andrea and Michael. We would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.

About: I am a nature lover, enjoying a healthy balance between being active and being a homebody. My top qualities are patience, attention to detail, and communication. I work well with anxious pets and senior pets needing extra attention. As a plus, I live with my family who all love and have had pets throughout their lives. I’m currently working part-time Monday through Friday. I usually leave for work at 1:30pm, and return home by 8:00pm. However, I always have at least two people at home so your pets will never be alone (or have to go too long without potty breaks) if you are boarding them here. I am available for boarding any night, and will gladly adjust my weekend plans depending on your pet’s attachment level. I love staying active, and enrichment for any animal is one of my top priorities. I live with my family in a safe and quiet neighborhood within walking distance of a large regional park with plenty of trails. I also have a basement and a large yard to accommodate your loved one’s comfort level. When visiting my clients’ homes I take extra care to adhere to their pets’ routines, habits, and preferences.

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 Pet Boarding in Gaithersburg on Rover is $44.4 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 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 8,076 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.
