“Kassandra proved to be the best sitter we've encountered in the years we have been using Rover's services. She goes out of her way to make your pet really feel special and part of her family. Our pet is looking forward to his next stay with and her family who's partnership works well in creating the perfect environment. She keeps you fully up to date with what's going on with your pet.”
“Cheryl was amazing! We constantly received pictures and videos of our fur baby and never had to wonder how he was doing. She was also very accommodating of us when we were late to pickup due to our flight being late. Highly recommend!”
“OMG, Awesome!! Nicole and her family were the perfect overnight host for Rex!! They were engaging and attentive with Rex. He ate up the attention!! I booked 2 more future bookings because Rex and I received good vibes from them, 100 thumbs up 👍 for Nicole and her family !!”
“Year in & year out, we trust Ginnie & Steve with our pups. We stumbled on them in the Rover app almost 7 years ago when our Dogsitting fell through for our wedding and we are so thankful it did. They are the most wonderful sitters; so kind, attentive, and treat our girls as if they were their own.”
“This woman was AMAZING!!! She gave updates, and pictures daily. You can tell he enjoyed her just as much as she enjoyed him. She spent actual time with him. I’m sure that I have found my person. I will only be booking with her.”
“Great sitter! Funny guy, kept me updated with Ace throughout his stay & you could tell Ace really enjoyed his time there. Soon as i got him in the car, he started whimpering like he missed him already 😂 definitely glad i found someone he was comfortable with. Would definitely book again!”
“Ruth and her family were absolutely beautiful, they have a beautiful and welcoming home as well! They took great care of our puppy son/brother during his very 1st overnight stay with someone other than his grandmother. We were/are very pleased with and definitely will be using them again! Thanks Ruth and family!!”
“This was our second time with Anna and Christian sitting Sora. This was his longest vacation away from family and we greatly appreciated their updates as we missed our pup dearly. We couldn’t be happier and would keep bringing Sora back. Sitters were very accommodating with initial scheduling and then potential pickup issues due to hurricane, even though it didn’t end up affecting the stay. They are wonderful sitters and would highly recommend 10/10!”
“Thank you soooo much Lia! She really came in clutch with the last minute booking in the middle of a snow storm! Long story short I work at the ER and was expected to stay over at least for 5days to cover outa due to the snow. She accepted “Kash” the day of and treated him so well. How do I know this you ask? Because for one I’ve had other people watch my dog before and he came back to me timid and afraid. So I knew something wasn’t right. But Lia she kept me involved every step of the way and answered whenever I contacted her in record time. If she will have us we will definitely be returning 💕 She’s a true animal lover and it shows😇”
“Lisa was an excellent sitter for our 8 month old golden doodle! She sent us videos and was in communication with us during our four day trip. Will definitely use her for future trips.”
“What a gift it was to find Mila as a sitter for our cavapoo, Graham! We were in need of last minute sitting over the holidays when our regular plans for Graham fell through and Mila was able to take him in quickly and we just knew he would be in the best care! She only takes one dog at a time which Graham needs and is so attentive and caring. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Latoya was very kind and compassionate. She took great care of my dog and was very pleasant to meet with overall. Our dogs got along really well, she has a lovely home and even gifted my dog a little toy that she enjoyed during her stay!! I'd recommend Latoya to everybody and you can be sure that your dog will be loved and will be in great hands!”
“Thank you so much for keeping my baby safe! Alonni & her partner were very sweet upon the meet & greet. I was nervous going away as my pup is usually attached to my hip. She kept me informed of his days, made sure to make note that his medicine was administered & sent plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease. When I came to pick him up he was excited to see his mom but I know he enjoyed his time away as he slept like a log when he came home. She kept me abreast throughout his stay & we both look forward to our next vacation away. Webby says “See you soon!” Thank you again ❤️”
“Like any dog mom, I was nervous to leave my puppy JET for the first time, but Maryfe made the experience so reassuring. She’s an excellent communicator and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My puppy had a wonderful time and came home happy. 10/10 !!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Ms. J was amazing with my girls for their stay. I was nervous because they hadn't been away from home but she put me and the dogs at ease. She's very communicative and makes sure to get them exercise. I would recommend her 100 times over if you need some one to show your dog the same love and care you do. Thanks Ms J we will see you again!!”
“Kionte was absolutely amazing!! He took my baby to the dog park and she actually made friends! I’m also grateful that he was extremely flexible and gave me very detailed updates on Chanel! I would definitely book him again! Thank you so much Kionte!”
“We will definitely use Margaret whenever we travel! She was able to make friends with Dylan and cuddle with him! This is rare because Dylan is very stand- offish and depressed when we leave him. I feel confident that Margaret loves animals and took good care of him!”
About: 13 years of caring for animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, playful, and dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines so they experience as little disruption as possible. I’m available for pet care Monday through Thursday from 5:00–6:30 AM and 6:00PM–10:00 PM, with full-day availability Friday through Sunday. I work close to home, so pets staying with me can receive a lunch-break check-in during my workdays. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keep pets supervised, and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.
“Will and Adriele were fabulous! Very accommodating to my drop off and pick, took my dog for a walk and shared many pictures. They were fabulous and will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”

Zaakira and her dog Diesel was terrific company for my Jacey! Even after just meeting, the pups got along wonderfully and I was at ease leaving him there in good hands. Received lots of photos and videos and check ins, will definitely be rebooking and recommend Zaakira!

Cheryl was incredibly responsive, took a last-minute request, and saved my pup from a bad boarding situation. She was able to pick him up and give him a nice, caring home. Sending daily updates significantly reduced mine and also my dog's stress. He is very anxious and typically is very afraid of new places and people, but it was obvious from the updates I was getting from Cheryl that he felt right at home. Could not recommend her enough. Fantastic, all-around amazing, and saved my dog's life.
Nicole helped me out with a last minute booking after I was ghosted by another sitter. My old lady, Sophia, doesn’t often get free reign to runaround without a leash - she had a blast doing so at Nicole’s with another dog. Nicole sent pictures and I felt confident that my dog was well cared for.
Ms. Jae is absolutely wonderful. She took my baby girl in as her own this past weekend and even had another energetic pup visiting that Cora could enjoy spending time with. Ms. Jae knew that I was worried given a few of my past experiences here in Baltimore and she made it her duty to send me multiple updates and photos throughout my time away from Cora. My was smiling the whole time, and I could really tell that she was happy and well cared for. You can tell that she really cares about making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in her space. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will likely only send her to Ms. Jae from now on as long as she will have her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We recently had our dog board with Dimitri for about 5 days. This was our first time with Dimitri and we were very happy. We felt confident that he could manage our dog, who is on the larger side (60 lbs), very strong, and prey driven. He was very responsive to my texts and sent me lots of pictures. He even gave our dog a bath, when he found a tick on another dog in his care. We would definitely board with him again!
I really appreciate Shakiyla. I contacted her in short notice due to my daughter being in the ER and not being able to find anyone to watch Reign. She responded immediately and was great with my dog. I was very nervous using this app for the first time, but She sent videos and kept me posted about how Reign was doing. She was a life saver. Thank you so much.
Erika - thank you for being such a wonderful caretaker for Tarot, since her first day meeting you she has been comfortable. Your ability to watch her consistently has been a big relief for her and myself, she is always so happy to see you time and time again. I truly appreciate you being so flexible and creating some consistency during my travels. -Brandon

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gwynn Oak is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $61 per night.

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 Gwynn Oak 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 Gwynn Oak 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 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 , 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.
