“Alexis did a great job with BOLT :) He loved his stay there and cannot wait to visit again in a couple of weeks. For the first time in six years we were able to leave Bolt with a sitter and had consistent communication and NO SEIZURES!! Thank you again Alexis!!”
“So glad Nathaly was available to watch Pedro again! I knew I didn't have to worry about him while on vacation. Nathaly sent photos of Pedro getting lots of play and snuggles during his stay with her. He came home a very happy and tuckered out doggo!”
“Makhayla has been caring for my pup, Boots, since he was a puppy and now I’ve adopted his sister and she cares for her too. She is reliable and always keeps me informed and sends pictures often to let me see how my little fur babies are doing.”
“Chrissy was awesome. This was my first experience using Rover in Baltimore and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communicated often, sent pictures, periodic updates and can tell Bear loved hanging with Dublin. Thank you so much again for everything and will definitely be my #1 go to ?”
“Allison D was a great care giver for our Cricket. She played with, cuddled and entertained her and told us Cricket was well behaved and welcome to return if we needed care provided again in the future.”
“I was a little concerned about leaving my older dog with a stranger. Alisia was friendly and bonded with Beau immediately. She provided him with a warm, friendly environment and he did very well. She sent daily pictures that put my mind at ease. Alisia is a fantastic provider and I would definitely request her again in the future.”
“Richard was quickly responsive, and took the time to make sure my anxious pup was comfortable when we arrived. He has an amazing set up for active dogs, with a large and clean backyard, tons of dog toys, and two adorable pugs to play with. Richard sent me photos throughout the stay, and kept me updated on feeding. He even gave Apollo a new tug toy and thank you card when we picked him up! I was so happy to find him on Rover, and can’t wait to use his services again soon!”
“Carlie was an excellent sitter, and offered us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't have asked for more! We received daily updates, and our dog was so happy in every photo. The care she received was above and beyond, Carlie even helped adjust our dogs collar and gave her a brushing! I highly recommend booking w Carlie, you will feel like your dog is staying with family - 0 worries!”
“Tonya was great! She allowed us to set up a meet and greet before our dog's 13 day stay. She provided regular updates and photos during Rocky's stay. Tonya was airways professional and available. We definitely use Tonya again in the future!”
“Demetrius watched our dog Taz and quickly became one of his favorite people!!! We got updates throughout the day about how well they were doing together. It usually takes Taz a long time to warm up to people, leading us to consider Demetrius a dog whisperer!!! We are so grateful for him and look forward to bringing Taz back to stay with him and Sebastian again in the future! Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I was always around dogs and developed a strong love for them. I have owned German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I have always walked, and fed the dogs in the house. I work early mornings and am finished before noon, so I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer/Beagle mix named Oreo who loves having other dogs around. We can play catch in the yard, go for walks around the neighborhood, and I’ll make sure each pet is fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention.
About: Hello, I'm Cori! I’m a stay at home mom looking for some part-time work. I'm a very active person so I don’t mind long walks or going out to the backyard to play! I have a very flexible schedule so I can visit your pets multiple times a day if needed. As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I often helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain a calm environment, and provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.
“Samantha was great! She sent photos to us and took amazing care of our two pups. She was also very flexible when our needs changed. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: As the daughter of a mother who runs a non profit for marine mammals and sea turtles-I have been around animals my entire life. Strays always came home with us as a kid. As an adult, my adoration for animals has only grown stronger. I am on TrustedHouseSitters because I like to dog sit while I’m traveling and I am a former BARCS volunteer with experience with levels 1-3 dogs. I’ve had two dogs in my adult life, one true angel baby whom lived until he was 16 (a large breed dog too!) and the other is a total second born child Tasmanian devil pitty. He is a shared dog by two humans that love him very much so it is flexible when he is in my home-if your pet needs special attention without another dog around, we can work that out. I am self employed and work in events so my Sunday-Wednesday schedule can be easily adjusted to having a companion around. Thursday-Saturday, the day varies a little on a typical week (more so in spring and fall which are my busy seasons) where they can come to my studio with me if needed (pet bed and toys are a permanent fixture there). Saturdays would be the only day, if any, I would need to keep them home by themselves for while I’m on site for said event work. I just moved into my cute little cottage August of 2026 and have put up a temporary fence in my backyard for my dog and yours. It’s welded wire, meaning it works great but won’t want to rely on it if you have an escape artist so let me know beforehand. I love having a dog around and it honestly feels unnatural whenever there isn’t one in the house. You can expect them to have access to dog beds and if permitted by owner, they are allowed on couches and human beds as well. I’m a snuggler and can meet your dog at whatever level of Velcro dog they are.
About: I'm a devoted animal lover with over 8 years of experience, caring for animals of all ages, from seniors to brand-new 8-week-old puppies. I have a genuine passion for treating them like they're my own, all while ensuring constant communication with their fur parents every step of the way. With three fur children of my own, I understand that clear communication when you're away is absolutely essential. I work a full time job as an office manager Monday - Friday 9 hour days . I am open to flexibility , and I've decided to make the most of this newfound time by making myself available to care for your furry companion on weekdays and occasional weekends. Just let me know when you need me, and I'll adjust my schedule to be there for you and your pet! I don't have a fenced-in yard, but I do have secure areas on my property where your furry friend can stay overnight and be safe. I have 5 of my own fur children, aged 8 and 4, who get along wonderfully with other furry friends. I take extra care to ensure all introductions happen outside and prioritize the safety and well-being of every animal.
“Kathleen was GREAT! She really does love and understand dogs not just for their shared traits, but also their individual personalities, which is a quality that only comes from unselfishly paying attention to the dog and adjusting to their emotional needs. Kathleen’s dogs know that they are safe and sound, and my Coco felt the same way! What a relief for me, leaving my most loyal and faithful companion at a unfamiliar house for the week, while I was hundreds of miles and several hours away! Thank You Kathleen!!”

We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Cookie and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and Cookie looked so happy and comfortable with her. 🥹❤️ It was clear that she treated Cookie like her own. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave her, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Alexis did an amazing job taking care of Joey! She was incredibly gracious and attentive throughout the entire stay, and I really appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. It was reassuring to see Joey happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Alexis was dependable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Joey’s well-being. I would definitely consider using Alexis again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Chris and Kelly were great when our pup was having some bad allergy rides and kept us updated. There dog Gigi was a good friend to Gunner. I felt Chris and Kelly were both super responsive to messages and calls during our time away. We would absolutely use them again!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Joppa is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $60 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,771 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Joppa. About 94% of Joppa sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
