“Nithya took care of my Cinnamon for a few days, looks like she had a great time. There were a few other dogs staying with her so there were plenty of friends around to play with. She came home pretty tired from all the excitement, as she's used to being an only dog at home on the couch all day.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Emma! Tracey kept us in the loop with hilarious daily updates 😂. They were so welcoming and did everything possible to accommodate Emma’s needs. Highly recommend!”
“Another wonderful week at Samantha’s house! Momo has a great time and we truly appreciate feeling like he’s with family. They celebrated his 3rd birthday and sent me party photos :D I can rest easy when he’s with you guys and that means the world to me!!!!”
“The family was nice and took great care of my fur babies while we were away on a week cruise. The family sent pictures daily to keep me informed. I would definitely recommend them again.”
“P'tit Loup had a wonderful time with a very caring family. Thank you so much Marylee and Allen! I have a lot of separation anxiety, but your pictures and texts were always there to reassure me. Take care and we will see you again 😃💖”
“Memphoo was taken very well at Austin’s. Austin always kept us posted with texts, photos and videos everyday. He always gladly did everything that is good for my fur baby. I felt good to leave my dog to him, Will definitely hire him again.”
“Rosie & Lorenzo, Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dogs this weekend! They were happy, well-loved, and I appreciated the updates you sent. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We would have given more than 5-stars to Marco & Margaret and family if we could. Our dog, Uni, stayed over a weekend when we had to attend some events. Marco was very responsible helping with our dog's seasonal allergy medicines and providing updates with pictures, and videos. When we picked up Uni, we could tell he was happy, loved, and had a blast. And, we could tell that Uni and Marco's dog are BFFs now.”
About: I have experience working with a wide variety of dogs, including service dogs, hunting dogs, working breeds, and everyday family companions. I understand that every animal has its own personality, energy level, and individual needs. My approach to pet care focuses on exercise, structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. I believe in treating every animal with respect, maintaining their routines, and creating an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: provide dependable, high-quality care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. As an active dog owner, I regularly incorporate walks, exercise, outdoor activities, and training into my schedule. I work in IT and maintain a structured weekly routine, which allows me to plan pet care responsibilities carefully around my availability. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, exploring trails, and keeping dogs physically and mentally engaged. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure every pet receives proper attention. My availability varies throughout the week, and I coordinate with owners in advance to ensure their pets receive the care they need. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming home with plenty of indoor space for pets to relax, play, and move around freely. I also have access to a fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely enjoy supervised exercise and playtime. Safety is always my priority, and I carefully monitor interactions, activity levels, and each pet’s individual needs. As a Labrador owner, I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine. I respect each owner’s feeding instructions, training preferences, and any special care requirements. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat your property and animals with respect. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Wonderful place, lots of room outside for the dogs. Cameron is extremely nice, answered all questions with a smile and sent photos during the stay. Would definitely recommend and hope to use him again.”
“Caden did an amazing job taking care of Pickles. Pickles was so excited when he arrived knew exactly where he was and couldn’t wait to go inside. When pickles wouldn’t eat the first day Caden hand fed Pickles. So thank you for going above and beyond!”
“Ana and her family showered Mowgli with cuddles, attention and lots of walks! We received several pictures throughout the day and communication was prompt. He came back happy and tired - all signs of a great stay!”
“Anna is a lovely person to interact with and a great pet sitter! She and her family took such good care of my cat, and seemed to truly enjoy having him in their home. I would 100% recommend her, and use her again in the future!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Merline took great care of Sarge and provided daily updates. She gave him yummy treats and gave him extra people food to go along with his regular dog food. When Sarge didn’t want to go upstairs to sleep at night, she joined him downstairs so he wouldn’t be alone. Her family also looked after Sarge and showered him with love. When I picked up Sarge, he was very calm and relaxed, which tells me that he had a good time while away from his family.”
“Dianne was amazing! Kaia felt right at home at her place and seems to have gotten along really well with Kona. Dianne was very thoughtful about acclimating Kaia to her home and then creating a safe way to introduce Kaia and Kona. She took great care of Kaia while I was gone, proactively sent updates and photos. I wouldn't hesitate to re-book.”
“Wow!!! I can’t say enough good things about Xiao. We just moved to the area and we’re headed out on a 5 country tour for 2 weeks. Something drew my to Xiao, about the loss of her pup Charlie and her kind demeanor. She sent pictures of our Lu Dog all the time, she loved on her, spoiled her, and when o came to pick her up, she was sitting at the dinner table with Xiao and her husband like she was a human in the family. Our dog was so happy she got her own little vacation. I know if I ever need Lu to be watched again I can trust Xiao. Thank you so much.”
“Christa did a fantastic job with Dirk! Thru the pictures taken you could certainly tell they took him in and treated Dirk as their own. He loved Christa's kids and we were very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of so well. We would highly recommend Christa!”

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda watching our puppy for 9 days! She was incredibly kind, accommodating, reliable, and responsible. She took the time to ask about all of his routines and our instructions beforehand, followed everything to the letter, and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. She was also very flexible when we needed to adjust our pickup time. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs, and we felt confident knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
I looked into quite a few sitters before choosing Todd because I really wanted to make sure my dog would be as comfortable as possible while I was away. Todd ended up being the perfect choice! He took great care of Koda, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. If you’re considering leaving your dog with Todd, I definitely recommend him!
Evvery was nothing short of exceptional!! I would highly recommend her as she left our minds at ease while Evvery boarded our Toto. Evvery sent us pictures of walks, Toto relaxing in Evvery’s home and Toto was just at ease and looked so content. We will be booking with Evvery again. Our minds were so at ease even with our flight being delayed; Evvery eased our minds and said not to worry. Such a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you so much for your great care and kindness while boarding our Toto!
Kathy is the best! She took great care of Kofi for the longest we had ever left him and treated him like her own 🐶💙. Her daily video updates were great and allowed my husband and me to be at ease on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Kofi bonded with her well! Her warm hearted and easy going energy was exactly what he needed. Thank you, Kathy! 💙
Shannon did a fantastic job taking care of Charlotte. She took many pictures showing how well she was doing. She even noted she wasn’t eating her food initially but added some chicken broth to get her back on track. Charlotte was clearly shoot and her usual self when we picked her up for a long stay. We highly recommend Shannon because she really cares for your pet. We expect to use Shannon as our go to pet sitter.
Brandon was fantastic with Bailey this weekend. He was dependable, communicative, and took great care of her throughout the stay. Bailey was happy and well cared for when we returned, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly book with Brandon again and highly recommend him!
We could not ask for a better dog sitter than vanessa.She treated our dog like family. Every instruction was followed perfectly, and the photo updates made our day while we were away. Our dog came home tired, happy, and well-cared for. Highly recommended to anyone looking for peace of mind!
Gail and Kris are truly amazing. I'm so glad I found them. I had a wedding to attend in Europe and was so worried that I didn't have someone to care for my 15lb sweet little Schnauzer, Addie, for such a long stay (11 days!) My worry is that I wouldn't find someone I could trust that would never leave her alone. Yes, I never leave her alone. I've tried but have filmed her with cameras and she does a deep soulful howl that breaks my heart. Addie makes me laugh so much, she is so, so funny and I love this little one! I have truly anthropomorphized her and so I came to the realization that I would need help. Gail and Kris have taken care of her as if she was their own. I started leaving Addie with them for short stays to make certain all was well for both the caregivers and Addie. Addie loves them! They are so conscientious about feeding her exactly as I have instructed them to. They play and cuddle with her and give her lovely walks. They constantly lookout for her wellbeing and communicate to me with short videos and gorgeous photography every little thing Addie does...her eating, running, walking, sleeping, playing...it brings such joy to both me and my husband so see the tender care Addie is receiving. I trust Gail and Kris. They are just THE BEST!
Chash took wonderful care of Tori! She was so communicative, sent great updates, and was incredibly patient and understanding even when Tori had an accident. Tori especially adored her daughter and became her little shadow the entire time. Tori had the best time—when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to leave to go home! I had complete peace of mind while away. We will definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Germantown is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $62 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,591 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Germantown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Germantown 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 Germantown 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 Germantown.
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 Germantown 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.
