“Like I told Evvery, this is the first time I've gone on vacation without my dog and didn't stress about his care. We received picture and video updates at least two times everyday and Shmulik looked SO HAPPY and like he was having the time of his life in each one. Shmulik can be a little difficult (he's aggressive with other dogs), but Evvery knew exactly what to do if they encountered another dog on their walks. We cannot recommend her enough!!!!!!!! Evvery will give your pups the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Thank you, Evvery!! We'll see you soon! - Ilya, Yana & Shmulik”
“Penny loved her weekend stay with Vanessa! I was sent many updates in the form of videos and pictures and if I had any questions, Vanessa always responded within a timely manner!”
“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“Mindy cared for our dog, Shanti, and our cat, Anora, for three weeks - and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly dependable. She took the time to understand both of their unique personalities and needs, and it was clear how much genuine care and attention she and her partner gave them. Her home is beautiful and welcoming, and their spacious, secure backyard was a dream for Shanti to enjoy during his stay. Knowing they were in such a peaceful and pet-friendly environment made all the difference. Mindy kept us updated with messages and photos, and when we returned, both Shanti and Anora were happy and clearly very well loved. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, loving, and truly attuned. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again - she’s an absolute gem.”
“Once again, Mellie took wonderful care of Murray. I'm so glad that I can leave him with someone who understands him and his calm but quirky ways. Thank you Mellie!”
“Samantha was great! I went on a 8 day trip and she made sure to give me daily updates about my dog and how he was doing and even gave him a toy he was always playing with. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight got delayed and Chase had to stay an extra night. Chase loves going over there and will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much 😊”
“Kathy was amazing. I would get constant updates which made my trip a lot more comfortable. Much better experience than dog hotels. I would highly recommend Kathy.”
“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!”
“Gnocchi had a great time with Lauren and made friends with her dog Arlo! I received regular photo updates on how Gnocchi was doing and got to see her enjoy time in the park outside as well as hanging out inside. Would absolutely book again.”
“Pam and her daughter were so great with Pancho. They sent me many pictures and updates, it was obvious he was getting lots of love, attention and fun active time. Highly recommend and hopefully Pancho will get to pay another visit to their place!”
“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!”
“Reese had a good time with Cornell. He took Reese on long walks and to the park to help get his energy out. Cornell was very responsive in his commutation and was flexible and helpful when my schedule changed. We will for sure book him again soon.”
“I had a very good experience boarding my dog with Rachel while I was on a business trip. She provided daily updates, took care of all his specific needs as a senior dog (including daily medication and regular bathroom breaks), and have him lots of one on one time. I came home to a happy dog!”
“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!”
“Bianca was fantastic! She provided frequent photo updates, and I can tell my dog had a great time. I let her know ahead of time that my dog has very bad storm anxiety, and she was very calming and reassuring with Lilah when a storm did end up rolling through. I would recommend Bianca to anyone, particularly if you have a dog with some anxiety because she works from home and Lilah was never alone. I will definitely rebook with Bianca again in the future.”

A wonderful sitter! If you're looking for someone to watch your pooch, I highly recommend Amanda to watch yours. She will take care of your fur ball in the same loving way that you always have. I left my dog with her and as challenging as he was, she brought to the table anything that was needed to help make the stay as comfortable and as caring as can be. I was impressed. I can't thank her enough for everything that she did for the care of my dog. And she will take great care of your dog as well. Give her a hollar, She'll reply shortly.
I can’t say enough great things about Evvery! Great communicator and great with my pup! Sent me pics everyday which made my day and helped me out in a pinch when my flight caused me to have to pick up my pup a day late. I’ve used Evvery several times already and am booked with her again. Need I say more?
Caesar had a wonderful stay with Todd! He was definitely kept busy every day! Todd took him to the park often, spent lots of time playing with him, and gave him plenty of attention. He also sent regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. I could tell Caesar was having a great time! I highly recommend Todd and will definitely book with him again!
Ms. Shannon was absolutely wonderful! This was Toby’s first time staying with her, and it was a 10+ day stay, so naturally, we wanted to make sure he was in good hands. Ms. Shannon was so accommodating and open to meeting beforehand so we could all get acquainted and comfortable before the extended stay. That meant a lot to us and gave us peace of mind. Throughout his stay, she took excellent care of Toby and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and willingness to make the experience a positive one, especially for his first time away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Ms. Shannon.
*The BEST pet boarder I've ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️* I boarded my baby CZU with Sanjay and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sanjay was absolutely the best boarder I have ever had! My DC trip went so smoothly knowing my pup was in Sanjay's hands. He kept me updated and took such amazing care of CZU. CZU was happy to see me when I got back, but honestly it seemed like he wanted to stay back with Sanjay! That's how comfortable and loved he felt. Anytime I'm in the area, I know exactly who to go to for my baby. Thank you Sanjay!
I was very happy with Kat’a care of Sarge. She took him on lots of walks, which he loves and made sure he was well cared for while at their house. She sent lots of pictures and provided several updates throughout the day. Kat was very accommodating with a schedule change. We hope to leave Sarge with Kat again in the future!
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! 💙
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Germantown is $50 per night as of November 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.

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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Germantown. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
