Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!

Carlos is the best! He sent so many pictures of Sophie having fun I wasn’t sure if she would want to come home! She even ate every meal with no problem and that is unusual for her. Thank you so much Carlos for taking such good care of my Sophie.🐶😊

Brian is AWESOME!!!! We have now planned ALL vacations around his schedule. It’s so great to come home from a weekend or week vacation to a happy cheerful puppy (and our dog is 14 yrs old but acts like a puppy with Brian and his dog Bob). Would definitely recommend!

Kelly and Maurice are our go-to pet sitters for our six Frenchie furbabies. We have used their services three times within the past year and highly recommend them. Our dogs show no apprehension or hesitation when staying in their care, which speaks volumes about the safe, loving environment they provide.

Tara was absolutely amazing!! This was my first time leaving my two pups in her care and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent tons of pictures throughout the day and very thorough updates on what was going on throughout their stay. One of my pups had a rough time adjusting to a new space and had some accidents inside and Tara was so patient and understanding. I also have a senior pup and they were all so careful with him and ensured he was safe the whole visit. She took them on walks, had lots of playtime and they got tons of cuddles from the whole family. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pups were safe and being cared for as if they were at home. I will definitely book again in the future, I highly recommend her services!

WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.

Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.

Another amazing stay with Nicole and her family! Being able to leave for vacation with the piece of mind that our dog is in the best hands, enjoying every minute of his stay, means the world to us. The picture updates are the most wonderful messages you’ll receive on your trip!! Our dog always runs to the door upon arrival and is exhausted when we pick him up - so much playing! Thanks for everything, Nicole!!

What an amazing experience! The communication and coordination for drop off/during boarding/pick up was all incredible. They were super flexible in my schedule and very responsive. They even made sure to keep me updated on Lucy during her stay with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby girl and would rebook all over again! She came back a happy pup 🥰

I really appreciated the updates and the love and attention Maddie received. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Maddie came home happy and relaxed, and I could tell she had a wonderful time. I would definitely book with Kady again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!

It was Kimo's first overnight stay at Rebeca's home and it turned out great! He was a little nervous, but as the night progressed, he was able to relax and play with the other dogs. I am considering having Kimo go over once a week for doggie play dates. Rebeca was friendly and she has a calm demeanor, which I appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone within the Woodbridge area.

If I could give Tanya more than five stars, I would. She was responsive from the very first inquiry and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. She suggested a meet and greet before I did, which was reassuring. She treated my sweet girl like she was her own. If you are looking for a sitter who will be attentive, responsive and kind, I suggest Tanya!

FAQs for Boarding - La Plata

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in La Plata on Rover is $49.95 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 5,757 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in La Plata. About 90% of La Plata 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
