“Hester was absolutely wonderful! Sent us updates on our boy while we were out of the country and shared about all the fun he was having. Would definitely rebook and recommend!!”
“Wow, I can't say enough about how well Katelyn cared for and accommodated our dog Oscar. He was nervous at first but quickly adapted and thrived - thank you Soooo Much, 6 stars out of 5! Definitely a keeper!!”
“Becca did a wonderful job looking after my dogs. They were obviously very well cared for and loved on while I was abroad for 10 days. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and was very quick to respond when I had questions! Highly recommend!!”
“Benjamin is an excellent dog sitter! We could really tell he cared about our dog Chewy. He has a lovely home in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of outdoors space for our dogs. Chewy looked really happy during his stay and didn’t give us any attitude after his pickup.”
“Peggy watched both my dogs for 6 nights and she was great. My dogs have very different personalities/needs that she was able to help with. She sent updates and pics daily so I knew how they were doing to help me enjoy vacation! They came home super calm and relaxed, which was a first, especially for my anxious girl! Will definitely use again”
“Jean was perfect for our dog. He loves her and her animals. She was prompt and communicative. I received pictures every day. I will book her again on another trip, for my dog's "vacation home".”
“We love Sarah! She is professional, responsive and truly loves our Ruby (who is EXTREMELY high energy). We have used Sarah a few times and will definitely book her in the future. She is fantastic!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Luba & James treated Tango like part of their family for 2 weeks. We were so happy he was being loved while we were gone so long. They sent pictures almost daily showing him smiling, sleeping, walking and being loved! I will most definitely take Tango back whenever we have to go somewhere that isn’t dog friendly.”
“Absolutely wonderful! She sent pictures of my dog (who looked to be smiling!), and he even got to attend a dog birthday party while he was there! Aside from being wonderful with the dog, she was kind, patient, and understanding. I made arrangements to have our dog stay with her during a very busy time. We were in the midst of a family health crisis, and I was scattered. I didn't arrange the booking for the correct dates, and was all over the place. She adjusted the dates, and was unbelievably kind about it. Grateful for her reassuring demeanor, especially at a time when it was desperately needed.”
“Geovanna was absolutely amazing with my fur babies while I was out of the country! She updated me every single day and sent the sweetest photos of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My oldest, Cali, can be a bit feisty at times, but Geovanna handled everything so well and I am incredibly grateful. She was also extremely responsive, immediately answering any questions I had. To top it off, when my flight got delayed, she was so understanding and accommodating about extending the time. We all know things happen when traveling, and she made a stressful situation so much easier! I would definitely use Geovanna again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving hands for their pets. 🤍🐶”
“This was my first time using Liz And Jeff. Liz And Jeff and her family have welcomed Nola (5 month old puppy) in as one of their own. I have received pictures and videos of Nola playing with their dogs, and entire family and she is happy as can be. I was nervous initially since Nola was so young but Liz had has made my nerves calm down and she understood me. I would highly highly highly recommend them. I was able to relax on my vacation, knowing that she was in such good hands. If I can give them 100 stars I would I would definitely be using them again. That is for sure!!!!! Nola absolutely lived her best puppy vacation with the wonderful family!!”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“Good morning our dear Rover family. We'd like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for Theresa. Each expression of love every picture made our hearts smile knowing Cheanna was well taken care of. Theresa's service exceed our expectations. We are happy to say we will be using her caring help in the future 😀. Words cannot say how safe we feel using Rover. Thanks a 1000 times.”
“Maddie had another great stay with Kimberly! Great communication throughout the entire stay with pics and updates, and she's always so accommodating. We're so happy to find someone we can trust to take such great care of our dog while we're away!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Shore
I was hesitant to give Rover another try, but finding Carlie has been the most magical experience. She is so warm and welcoming that my dog immediately felt comfortable, started exploring her surroundings and barely noticed I was leaving. I’m so grateful to have found a place where my dog feels happy and loved.
FANTASTIC!!! We received lots of updates on Ruby's activities, how she was settling into her new space and interacting with everyone. I'm an information Mom so receiving the detailed information Debra shared definitely eased my anxiety of leaving her for a long weekend. Ruby made herself right at home and was happy at pick up. Thankful to have found such a loving and positive soul to watch over our fur baby.
I was nervous about leaving my new pup, Alfie, but from the moment I met her, I knew he was in wonderful hands. She was absolutely amazing and cared for him as if he were one of her own. She is such a sweet, genuine, and caring person, and you can truly see those qualities in the way she loves and cares for dogs. She genuinely loves them, and it shows! You can see how happy, pampered, and well cared for her own dog, Halo, is. Alfie and Halo became besties, and it honestly felt like Alfie went on a little vacation of his own! 🐾❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her with Alfie again. Highly recommend!!!!
Justine did an amazing job boarding my golden retriever, Gibson, for 4 nights. Communication was great, drop-off and pickup were easy, and Gibson came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I had zero concerns while I was away, and I’d absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Shore is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $51 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.

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.
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 Lake Shore 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 Lake Shore 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 Lake Shore.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Shore. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lake Shore 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
