About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for pets! 🐾❤️ My journey began as a foster parent with Boise Bully Breed in Boise, Idaho, where I discovered just how rewarding it is to give animals love, patience, and a safe place to land. Since then, caring for animals has remained a huge part of my life. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a bully breed and share my home with four cats, so I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away, and I want to give you peace of mind knowing they’re receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. 🐶 My services include: * In-home boarding: I welcome one dog at a time into my home so your pup can receive personalized attention and care. * Drop-in visits: I can stop by your home to check on your pets, provide meals, refresh water, offer playtime, and give them plenty of affection. * In-home pet sitting: I can care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a little extra patience, a playmate, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine! 🐾💕 I pet sit and clean homes on the side, my full time “job” is taking care of my family and my pets. I’d love to take care of yours as well! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while their families are away. I have a partially fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and opportunities to explore. For everyone’s safety, outdoor time is supervised, and I use a leash or other appropriate safety measures when needed. I offer in-home boarding for one dog at a time so each guest receives personalized attention, affection, and care. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs or maintain a familiar crating routine when requested by their owners. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established schedule for meals, walks, playtime, rest, and any special needs. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and help pets feel secure in a new environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, exercise, medication instructions when applicable, and plenty of companionship. My goal is to make time away from family as stress-free as possible for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind. Your pets will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and consideration I give my own! 🐾

“Jeren was able to watch our new pup on short notice and did a great job. She sent daily pictures and descriptive updates. Our pup looked like she had a blast! Additionally, Jeren had no issues giving ear meds and was patient with our pup's shy nature. When we need a petsitter again, we'll be contacting Jeren first!”

“10/10 recommend booking Yinali to care for your dog! She was such a joy to work with, from our initial communication on Rover, to the meet-and-greet, to all the thoughtful updates while our dog was staying with her and her husband. Our dog has special needs and uses a wheelchair, which can understandably make some sitters hesitant (and makes it hard for us to find him trustworthy care), but Yinali was incredibly accommodating and attentive to his needs. I knew right away that he was in great hands, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would 100% book with Yinali again!”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Nikkita provided for our dog, Pepe. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure Pepe was comfortable and happy during his stay. She was also very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off times, which made things so much easier for us. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which helped us feel connected and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about her furry guests, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”

“So it was last minute; however, Lauren opened her door for me and took care of my Cayo! She was very caring and fun for Cayo. Cayo got along greatly with Lauren’s dogs and children. Cayo got plenty of playing time as well, which I’m thankful that I got many photos of! I highly recommend Lauren to provide care for your puppies as well, because I know I will be returning for her services!!! Thanks Lauren! ~ Matt & Cayo Hughes”

About: I’ve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques. And enjoy taking dogs for long walks to get their energy out. I live five minutes from my job and can come home if needed and never work weekends. My wife works from home 3 out of 5 week days. I have a large fenced in yard (.75 acres) and a dog friendly golden retriever named Steve. I have an extra crate available if your pet needs crating.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Marydel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Marydel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% of sitters in Marydel 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 Marydel 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 Marydel.

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 Marydel. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 Marydel 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.
