This is our first time using Evvery’s services and we are very happy we found her. She made this experience easy and wonderful. I loved how she took the time each day to share pictures and videos of my dog. Our dog misses her and we will certainly use her services again!! Thank you so much Evvery for taking excellent care of our Maximus!

Sammy’s first boarding with Kris and Gail went very well. They lovingly cared for her like she was part of their own family. They were dedicated in providing fun nature walks which my pup loved even when the weather was less than ideal. I know she can’t wait to see them again!

Mindy did a great job dog-sitting Bella. She was quick to respond to messages and sent me videos each day, which gave me peace of mind. Bella seemed happy and well-cared for, and it was clear that Mindy genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her for dog-sitting; she is responsible, attentive, and caring.

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!!! :)

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 💕

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!!

As a military spouse, I was suddenly navigating last-minute changes due to my husband’s travel orders and needed someone dependable. I chose Jared because of his excellent reviews and convenient location, and he exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly flexible and understanding, even as my schedule shifted multiple times. Most importantly, he took wonderful care of our dog, which gave me true peace of mind. Thank you, Jared!

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.

We couldn't be happier with Marylee! My lab had a great time at Marylee's place. During the two days when my dog stayed with Marylee, she kept us updated by frequently sharing my dog's pics and videos. I felt very comfortable having my dog staying with her the entire time, and I think my dog also felt very comfortable staying with her. Additionally, she kindly shared with me lots of information and dog training tips that were very helpful to me as a first-time dog owner.

Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.

About: Hi! I’m a total dog lover with a lifetime of experience and a heart that melts for wagging tails 🐶💛 I mostly work full time from home, occasionally going into the office on Wednesdays. I’m flexible for walks and potty breaks at almost any point throughout the day. I have my own dog, so being back home for him has been part of my schedule for almost 9 years now. I like giving them as much freedom as they want, but will cater to any dogs specific needs. I am always sure to give food, water, and meds in a timely manner, as well as playtime and walks. My motto is always “dogs come first”, so I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for no matter the cost.

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.

Chash is incredibly caring and responsible. She was very responsive and sent many pictures and updates. It was obvious that she has a genuine love for dogs. She also did not need to be reminded to administer my dog’s medication. It was great to have the peace of mind that my dogs were safe and being loved on while I was out of town.

Anisa has watched my pup several times, and it’s been great every time! My dog can be skittish with new folks, especially because she’s deaf. Anisa worked with her and her quirks, and my dog loves staying with her! I never worry about Serena when she’s with Anisa. She sends regular updates and photos and worked with some of my schedule changes. Your furry friends are in great hands with Anisa!

Gail and Kris are amazing sitters. They kept me updated with Buddy & Poppy’s schedules with photos and videos that no other sitters have ever done. Poppy usually doesn’t eat well on the first day, which she did not do with Gail and Kris. I am so lucky to have found them and if l could, l would give them 10/10 for their care, professionalism, and ability to connect with my two…

FAQs for Boarding - Germantown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Germantown on Rover is $49.95 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 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 July 2026, there are 7,635 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 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 Germantown 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 Germantown 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 Germantown 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 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 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.
