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.
“Our dog Maizey had a great time with Felice, Ken et. al. Especially appreciate their flexibility in keeping Maizey an extra day due to the unexpected lengthening of my husband's hospital stay. Very friendly and caring folks!”
“Excellent! Cheryl and her family did an awesome job watching my little girl on such short notice. I particularly enjoyed and appreciated how well Cheryl communicated with me during my dog’s stay. She sent valuable updates, pictures, and other related information pertaining to my little girl. Highly recommend.”
“Brittanie and Ryan ensured that both Bodhi and I felt comfortable with boarding him at their home when I dropped him off. They were attentive to him and sent me pictures and communication throughout the stay, which helped put me at ease. They even contacted me before I dropped him off so I would pack extra food in case of a potential snow storm. I’m thrilled that they were our first experience using Rover, and I will recommend them to any friends needing dog care in the future.”
“Virginia and Steven were very helpful and accommodating throughout the process of booking a stay for my dog Bessie. I was happy that there were other dogs in the home and Bessie had an amazing time playing with them.”
“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”
“My first time leaving my dog with a rover sitter and as expected I was extremely nervous. Shakiyla was so reassuring and professional in handling my big dog! She sent me updates every day while he boarded. I would highly recommend! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Nicole and her family were amazing. I received a constant flow of updates and pictures. It was just a relief to know that my puppy was in such great hands.”
“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.”
“Shannon took great care of our boy while we were away on vacation. She sent a lot of pics throughout and took extra care to keep him safe during the crazy heat days. Would absolutely book again!”
“Davida will always be my families go to. Our dog was well taken care of. We also got videos and updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with her again”
“As always Robin was very attentive to our pups! They are always very excited to visit her home and they always seem so happy in the pictures and videos that she sends us! Thank you, Robin for taking such great care of our pups! We appreciate it and would definitely recommend her services to anyone.”
“This was our second time booking and Jessica was once again AMAZING with our Chance. He loves her and vice versa! We will always leave our fur baby with her.”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Our fur baby always comes home in a great mood, rejuvenated and without any of the typical signs of boarding stress. It’s clear that Ashley and her family take excellent care of him and truly love him. We love her!”
“Karla is the best and my dog is in love! Karla took excellent care of my pup while I was traveling...which allowed me to relax and just enjoy my vacation. She sent so many cute pictures and videos of their adventures and of his epic naps. I already booked Karla for my next trip and Frank cannot WAIT to hang out with her again.”

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.

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 .

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.
