“Our dog had a terrific time at Kirsten and Mark’s house. They were great- made time to schedule a meet and greet before the stay which was perfect for our nervous girl. Great communication, lovely backyard, so friendly… we will use them again!”

“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”

“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”

“Jeannys was absolutely amazing. If I could give her more stars I would. She took care of my stray who I found abandoned on the side of the road in the beginning of summer. Molly is a little shy and nervous but she went right with Jeannys and seemed SO comfortable which reassured me. Jeannys constantly updated me with photos and videos! She also took Molly out and about like she was her own dog! I will definitely be using Jeannys for Molly in the future!”

“Mikayla was very good with communicating and sending pictures or videos daily. My pup seemed so happy during her stay and I can tell she was well taken care of. She was very attentive and helpful as well.”

About: I’ve took care of dogs of all kinds ever since I could remember, cats too! I’ve helped many many liter of puppies and raised them! I also worked at Paws and Claws which is a doggy daycare and boarding! I can very well sense personality and what they need! I treat them like members of a family and never let them go without care. I’m currently going to college and looking for a part time job, but will always make time for your furry friend, and would be willing to move things around! I currently have a dog who loves to play and a husky who is full of energy! And two cats who are just cuddle bugs, we have a park near by so we can go play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed and have plenty plenty of toys!

“I am so sorry this is so delayed! I had a lot of life catch up after our vacaction, which was completely relaxing becasue I had zero concerns with the well being of my dog because Melissa was AMAZING. She was super welcoming and understanding that it was our first time leaving our pup and using Rover! She is super professional and caring and took care of everything (she had a crate for us!) She has love for dogs and I would absolutely recommend her and have our pup stay again! The best.”


“Excellent sitter!! My wife and I have used her many times and will continue to in the future. She is a very nice and responsible person, taking care of any of our dog’s special needs. She keeps us updated on our dogs’ stay and sends lots of pictures to show us how much fun they are having! She is also accommodating to our schedule for dropping off and picking up, making things super convenient for us. Our dogs always love their time with her. We know this because on our walks following their stay, they will pull on the leash to take us to her building haha!”

“Megan is an attentive, communicable host, with a spotless home and a beautiful large safe property! She reads directions closely and offers detailed check-ins when our dogs are away. She also has an excellent creek behind her house which I didn’t realize at first! Her dog is friendly and I would definitely book again with her”

“Gilbert was absolutely wonderful! He sent updates and pictures. He offered a meet and greet prior to our booking and during that meet and greet he asked questions and took notes to make sure he understood Lady and her preferences. I felt so much peace of mind knowing lady was in his care while i was away.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Maryland on Rover is $42.27 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Maryland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Maryland 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 Maryland.
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 Maryland 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 NY 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.
