“I was able to meet with Kelly over video after I sent her a message. She showed a love for dogs that instantly made me feel comfortable. Captain had a fantastic time with Kelly and the fur pets while we were away for 6 days. My girls and I enjoyed watching the daily pictures and videos of Captain throughout the day. The videos also eased my comfort because I knew Captain was happy and having fun. I could see that Captain was free to walk around the house, hang on the deck, and play with his friends. I will definitely use this family again when we take another trip.”
“We had a great experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, with daily updates that really put us at ease. It was clear our pup was well cared for and having a great time. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“After a meet and greet we decided to do an overnight trial and our dog loved it! The whole family is very warm and inviting and our dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Their house has a nice fenced in backyard as a plus. We have already booked our summer vacation and plan on booking other trips as well. Very happy to have found such a perfect fit.”
“Crystal was wonderful. She really puts her all into babysitting our pups! My mini poodle loved her and had other pups to play with. She was very intentional from the start, we also had a FaceTime and in-person meet & greet. I would definitely use her as my go-to.”
“Sabrina took great care of my doggie while we were away during Thanksgiving. My little guy had a great time and made new friends. She shared lots of pics and videos while we were away. I will schedule another visit soon.”
“I am grateful and fortunate to have Donna as a sitter. Nova loves her which makes me feel comfortable. I had an unexpected delay in my travel and she was empathetic and accommodating. Donna is friendly, personable, a true dog lover and the best sitter I’ve ever had.”
“Michelle has been caring for our dog, Lucy, for years now... and we have been nothing but pleased with her loving care for Lucy, her great communication, and dependability. Lucy loves her vacations with Michelle, and we always feel 100% confident in the care we know she will receive. Definitely 5 stars in every area!”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“Honest review.. initially I was extremely nervous for boarding with anyone. We typically board with his Vet but they were having plumbing issues, and one time in the past I booked at a “top” pet resort and had a bad experience. So I was extremely reluctant Lynette and Vincent were AMAZING at caring for my Eleven. I was very impressed with the constant updates and”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter. I could not have left my dog in better hands! Lots of updates, pictures and even a video were sent to me. While I expected my dog to be a bit depressed in my absence, Alicia filled my shoes perfectly. My dog took to her and her family right away. She took my dog on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles ...honestly - she did more than I do. Alicia has a nice backyard in which dogs can play. I definitely will use Alicia again if I need a dog sitter.”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience that Star had with Eli. Eli did an amazing job taking care of Star and we will return to him every time we are in need of a sitter for our dog. Thank you Eli!”
“Yukia did a fantastic job with our dog, Sammy! Communication regarding pickup and drop off was excellent and we got some pictures of Sammy on a regular basis. Would definitely book with Yukia again!”
“Angela was amazing! She was so kind, attentive, and kept our dog active and happy while we were away. She is a true animal lover! We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos, it gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again! 🐾”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harwood on Rover is $34.24 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 6,900 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harwood. 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 Harwood 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 Harwood 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 Harwood 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 Harwood.
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 Harwood 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.
