“Went out of the country for 2 weeks and my fur babies are not used to kennel life or being on lock down for most of the day. Their Uncle Maurice, Aunt Kelly, and cousins tended to my babies as if they were their own. I was thankful to see the pictures and videos of my fur babies making friends of their kind and being spoiled/loved by the family. This will be our go to home away from home from now on. Much thanks and blessings to you for opening your hearts and home to our fur babies!”
“Louie had the best time with Crystal! We loved all of the photo updates we got of him playing and going on long walks with the other pups! He had an absolute blast and we will definitely continue to use her for future stays!”
“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!”
“Rahki had a great time with Lisa. She made sure he was well fed and received cuddles while he was with her. I received several photos and a video, which were very appreciated. I recommend Lisa and would use her again.”
“Michelle was kind and caring, and our Minnie clearly loved her. She was communicative, which was helpful, and Minnie adjusted quickly to the home and routine. Michelle sent many pictures, and we could see that Minnie was super happy in her care.”
“Sandra and her family are amazing pet sitters! This was Bella’s second time at their home and she was very excited when we arrived. Sandra always kept us informed daily with photos and videos and let us know how Bella was doing. Although Sandra is 17 miles from our home and I’m sure we pass numerous pet sitters along the way, Sandra will always be our #1 choice for Bella’s stays away from home.”
“Tamara was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter I’ve had. I boarded my little guy with her for about 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout on how he was doing. It really put me at ease and let me know he was in great hands. I would 100%recommend.”
“Katelyn provided the most amazing care for our puppy!! He was spoiled with multiple walks, many treats, and tons of snuggles while we were away for a long weekend. He became friends with their sweet husky as well. Can’t wait for him to stay with her family again soon!! Thank you!!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Megan! She took such amazing care of our mini golden doodle, Boston — treating him like he was her very own. From the start, Megan showed incredible communication skills, sending us daily photos and videos that reassured us Boston was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You could instantly tell he felt safe and loved with her! Megan is friendly, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. She was also incredibly patient and kind when our flight was delayed and we were late getting back — no complaints, just kindness and understanding. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, loving, and treats your pet like family, Megan is the one. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we’re sure Boston already misses her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter — she’s truly a gem!”
“This was our family first time user Rover, and Ms. Kimberly services was beyond exceptional. She kept us up to date with videos and pics regarding our fur baby status. She was a outstanding keeper. We will definitely be back again. Thank you!!!”
“Stephanie and Luis were great with my dog, Shipley. I felt like I picked the best possible spot for him to stay while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and now I have 3 of my own! I have a pug, and 2 basset hounds. I'm experienced in all size dogs. (I previously had 2 english mastiffs that crossed the rainbow bridge) I also have chickens and ducks. I worked at a retirement community for years.. so I'm understanding and kind towards our wiser elders who made need help with their furbabies. I'm a homemaker so I'm almost always available for your pet care needs. I'm available to sit and play with them to your hearts comfort. All 3 of my dogs are inside dogs who sleep in bed with me. 🤣 Furbabies are like children to me. I truly believe they have souls and they deserve all the love in the world.
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Renea boarding my dog, Gucci! Renea made Gucci feel right at home and kept me updated with adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Gucci has a very particular diet, and Renea followed it carefully and attentively. I could tell Gucci was happy and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Renea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder!”
“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!”
“Gill provided an outstanding experience caring for my dogs. When I missed my drop-off window, he was incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout their stay, he communicated regularly, sending updates and pictures so I could see how my dogs were doing. I especially appreciated how reassuring he was while my dogs were adjusting to a new environment. Knowing they were being cared for with patience and kindness gave me great peace of mind. Gill’s excellent communication, flexibility, and understanding made this an easy five-star experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“I truly enjoyed my experience with Gio and Vanessa. They scheduled a meet-and-greet before the actual dog-sitting weekend, and from the very first meeting everything was straightforward and well organized. We went on a walk with Zuko, and Gio walked me through the steps that he and Vanessa take during the stay. Everything was very thorough, and I didn't feel rushed I was able to ask all my questions comfortably. Drop-off for the weekend was super easy. Zuko was already familiar with Gio, and I brought along all the things that help him feel comfortable and at home. I really appreciated that right after drop-off, Gio took Zuko on a walk around the neighborhood to help him get familiar with the surroundings and reduce anxiety. I thought that was a great strategy, and it definitely helped Zuko ease into his stay. Throughout the weekend, they kept me updated with pictures and progress updates, which I really appreciated. I had mentioned that Zuko is usually very calm during the day, and based on the updates and how pickup went, everything matched perfectly. Pickup was just as easy. I pulled up, Zuko happily jumped into the car, and he was clearly comfortable and happy with Gio as well. Overall, this was a very easy and positive experience. I appreciate them accommodating a last-minute booking. Thank you both!”
“Elena is confident, professional, and I felt secure while my dog was under her care. She asked the necessary prescreening questions to ensure it was a good fit- which I appreciated. There were plenty of long walks, beach trips, photo updates, and play time with Elena & family. Would highly recommend and will be looking to rebook in the future. Thank you Elena!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lothian is $26 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $37 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 of October 2026, there are 6,764 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lothian. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lothian 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 Lothian 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 Lothian.
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 Lothian 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.
