About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Felice and her family love our dog as much as we do. It is so comforting to go away knowing that he will be taken care of just like he is at home!! Felice and family are the best.”
“Ginnie took excellent care of Koda during his 5 night stay! She sent a lot of great updates and pictures during our trip to let us know how he was doing. It seemed he had a blast playing with all the other dogs! He felt right at home and it was nice knowing we didn’t need to worry about anything while on vacation. Highly recommend letting Ginnie look after your pet and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took such great care of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and photos, as it put us at ease with it being her first time with a sitter. They were responsive and helpful, kept to our feeding schedule and loved on our furbaby. Thank you so much!”
“Kelly was amazing! She took such good care of my dog and kept him entertained and active the entire time. You can tell she is an animal lover and really treats your pet like part of her family. My dog was sad to leave! Loved the frequent photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”
“Ariel was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter! She cared for our sweet Cookie and sent pictures. She made all my worries out the door when she reassured us that Cookie was fine! We have found our dog sitter and I couldn’t be more grateful for Ariel 🌸”
“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.”
“From the pictures Shannon sent during my dog’s week of boarding she had great fun. Friends to play with and much affection! Wonderful time and care. Highly recommend 🤗”
“Davida is a saint! My family and I had to scramble for a dog sitter last minute, Davida opened up her home for my fur baby. She kept me updated with texts and pics. My fur baby was treated so well that I think she may be going through a little withdrawal. I trusted Davida and her family to care for my pup and she did not disappoint. Thank you!!!!”
“Danielle was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog during his overnight stay. She was attentive and sent me picture updates frequently. I would definitely book her for another stay.”
“Amazing sitter for my German Shepherd! I can’t say enough good things about Shakiyla! She watched my German Shepherd, Bucky, for 4 days and took such amazing care of him. Bucky can be a handful with his high energy and anxiety, but she handled him so well. At the last minute, we also asked if she could watch my mom’s dog, Kandi (a Husky/Shepherd mix), and she was more than willing. She cared for Kandi just as wonderfully, making sure her needs were met too. What really impressed me was her communication—she even put me, my mom, and my husband in a group chat so we all stayed updated. That way, if she couldn’t reach one of us, she could easily contact someone else. She went above and beyond by sending daily videos and pictures, which really put me at ease while I was away. On top of that, she shared some really helpful suggestions for Bucky that showed she genuinely cared about his well-being. I am so grateful to have found her, and I plan to book with her every time I need someone to look after Bucky. She’s the best!”
“Thank you Ms. Robin Tina seemed to have such a great time with you and it was great for her to be able to socialize with other dogs while she was there. Communication was excellent and I can tell you truly treated Tina as one of your own. I would recommend you to anyone!”
“Karla was wonderful! She cared for my pup as if he were her own and made sure he felt right at home. I loved receiving all the great photos while I was away - it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well loved!”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
“Virgina watched my retired guide dog Harry in her home while I was traveling for business. She made sure everyone would get along beforehand and took time to meet and talk with me. This was the first time Harry was staying with someone he didn't know and I was worried he'd be anxious. He had a good time with her senior dog Chip. I'll likely book with her again.”
“Another great stay for my little Tofu. Jhane and Emjay take good care of my little guy, send lots of photos and are great at communication. Highly recommend them.”
“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gwynn Oak
OMG!! What an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! I forgot everything, including dog food. So glad she was able to provide meals for my boy Max! Everything went perfectly, and my furry boy looked so happy and well cared for upon my return. I would absolutely book their services again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter! Tae Said It!
Leah and Shawn were fantastic sitters for my Pitsky, Finnegan! I was traveling from out of state (looking to move to Baltimore) and felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. They are both very laid-back, knowledgeable people who clearly understand dogs and dog behavior. Finnegan is a higher energy dog, and they were more than capable of handling the things that come along with that. I appreciated receiving updates and a few photos while I was away, which gave me peace of mind he was doing well. When I picked Finnegan up, he seemed very happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I can tell Leah and Shawn have a love for dogs that extends beyond their two very sweet resident pups, Olive and Zoe, who were such gracious hosts to have my little monster as a guest for an extended weekend stay. I would absolutely book with Leah and Shawn again and we fully intend to use them for future stays. Highly recommend!
I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.
P1 definitely had a great time, and we really appreciate the care you gave him. One small thing we noticed afterward was that all the food we prepared was gone, which ended up being a bit more than his usual amount. He had a couple more bowel movements than normal, so we think he may have been slightly overfed. Just wanted to mention this for future reference. Thank you again!
2nd time watching Mika! Brittney is so easy to work with and kept my puppy safe over night on a holiday! Mika boarded at her home and had a great time playing with their puppy. Brittney is super easy to communicate with and very responsive to my texts or calls. I'm looking fwd to having her watch my girl again for sure!
As a first time Rover user of the sitting service, Mila eased my anxiety with the care she provided to my senior dog. I was had not worries while out of town. She updated me and kept in communication along with sending pics. She is wonderful and my dog took to her beautiful energy. Thank you Mila for your exceptional service!
The best Dog Sitter we’ve ever had! Very good with the dogs, they came back very happy. Very good with the communication. She took lots of pictures. Very good condition conditions you can tell by the pictures of things are neat and tidy. We will definitely be using Gloria again!
Michelle was a great dog watcher. She was attentive and made sure my got everything he needed and more. Her communication skills were superb and she had no issues sending pictures or giving me details about what is going on. Definitely book her if you want a five star dog watcher! Definitely will book again !

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gwynn Oak 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 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 3,282 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gwynn Oak. 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.
92% of Gwynn Oak 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 Gwynn Oak 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 Gwynn Oak 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 Gwynn Oak.
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 Gwynn Oak 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.
