“I was so thankful that Sarah was available to keep my fur baby last minute. She sent pictures daily and took good care of him. I don't think he wanted to leave. I hope to use Sarah in the future.”
“Rena was amazing! My goldendoodle, Teddy, loved her right from the meet and greet. She sent updates with photos/videos everyday and Teddy looked so happy. He was very well taken care of. He was so spoiled from the daily doggie massages. LOL. I would highly recommend Rena and will definitely book her again.”
“Schuyler was great! She was very responsive & even super accommodating as my return flight was delayed, which changed my pickup time. She sent pics and videos of Leo while he was there too!”
“Thank you for making my first experience with this app such a positive one! As a fairly new pet parent, I had never used this app and didn’t know what to expect. Beauty was very responsive, sent videos and updates, and I could tell my dog really loved his time there. Will absolutely book again.”
“Brian was excellent with my anxious dog. When I picked him up he seemed like he was home. He was calm. Brian was also very flexible with the drop off and pick up time even after I changed my drop off and pick up time at the last minute. He sent plenty of pictures of my dog roaming around and even getting a cuddle time. Next time I need to board my dog I will definitely go back to Brian. I would highly recommend him.”
“Highly recommend!! Extremely thorough and went above and beyond prior to our pup’s stay to ensure he would be comfortable in the new environment while we were out of town. Great communication as well which is ALWAYS a plus for us while we are traveling to include daily updates, and pictures. Could tell our pup had a blast and we will definitely be back again.”
“Kelly, Maurice and their family are wonderful. They’ve taken care of my dog, Hudson, several times and have become my go-to sitters. They take great care of him, send lots of pictures and videos and Hudson is always excited to see them when I drop him off. They’re very responsive and have been flexible when I needed in a pinch. They care for Hudson like he’s part of their family and I can relax knowing he’s in great hands with them!”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“Monica took such good care of Harlow. At the beginning it was a bit rough because Harlow has never stayed with anyone else. However; once she met the other dogs she had a ball. I would def use and recommend Monica again. She def cares for your pups while you’re away.”
“Carlos was amazing! I was nervous to leave Coco with a sitter but Carlos was kind, patient and an obvious dog lover. He kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and stories of what she was doing. I absolutely plan on using him for future trips!”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Vincent was fantastic, as always! Our baby, Charlie, loves going to Uncle Vincent, especially since he spoils her with homemade meatballs and chicken treats! Would definitely recommend Vincent to anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.”
“Lynette and Vincent was awesome with Kuume! They kept me updated on how he was doing and adapting. I could tell Kuume was having so much fun. When it was time to go, I could tell he wanted to stay.? They have nice open space for dogs to run, play, get fresh air and exercise. I love the fact that Kuume got to Interact with other dogs for he doesn’t get to have that at home. If the dates are available this will be my go-to borders. They are awesome and I know my baby was in great care. Thank you Lynette and Vincent!”
“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“Dolce had a wonderful 3 week boarding experience with Shane and his family! I received daily updates with photos and felt 100% certain he was not only in great hands, but also having a blast. Thanks Shane!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in La Plata is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $77 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.
95% of sitters in La Plata 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 La Plata 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 La Plata.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 La Plata 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.
