“Over the last seven years, Sophia has provided Bailey with excellent overnight boarding care whenever we travel to places where dogs cannot follow. The dropoff and pickup experiences are easy and efficient. We always get at least a dozen pictures daily of Bailey happily interacting with the other dogs. Bailey is well cared for on her visits and has a spring in her step when we pick her up. I strongly recommend Sophia for her care with dogs!”

“We left our two pups with Linda for the weekend while we were out of town and she did a great job with them! She sent regular updates with pictures and spoiled them - they must have felt like they were on vacation and not want to come home! She kept them safe and happy until we returned. Her fenced in backyard was ideal for our guys. We will definitely ask Linda to watch our guys again.”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.

Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”

About: 🐾Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been much more than a responsibility…it’s a lifelong passion! With over 30 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to understand dogs beyond their behavior to recognize what they may be communicating. I pay close attention to their body language, recognize subtle signs of stress or discomfort, and adapt my approach to help each dog feel understood and secure. I have extensive experience handling dogs with different personalities, from energetic and playful companions to shy, sensitive, or more reserved dogs. I understand that building trust requires patience, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual temperament. I also understand that puppies, adult dogs, and seniors have very different physical and emotional needs. I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized care appropriate to each stage of life. Above all, I genuinely love what I do. Every dog deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved companion very seriously.🐾 ✂️ Professional Grooming Available! I also offer grooming services upon request for an additional fee. Pricing is customized based on your dog’s breed, size, coat condition, and individual grooming needs. 🐾I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every guest feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, outdoor breaks, exercise, playtime, and relaxation according to each dog’s individual needs.🐾 🐾Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I provide a clean, peaceful, and carefully managed home environment where every guest receives personalized attention and care. My boarding guests have their own designated areas, completely separate from my personal dogs. This allows me to maintain a safe, structured environment while respecting each dog’s individual needs and personal space. I provide comfortable dog beds and cozy blankets so every guest has a welcoming space to rest and relax. My home features a fully fenced yard where guests can enjoy supervised outdoor activities, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or signs of discomfort to ensure every guest receives the care they need. I believe that maintaining familiar routines, providing a calm environment, and respecting each dog’s individual personality are essential to helping them feel secure and comfortable while away from home.🐾

Sabrina was great with Maisie. She sent plenty of updates and photos. I could tell from the pictures that Maisie was comfortable staying with Sabrina. It’s good to have that peace of mind when you are away from your pet. Thanks Sabrina! We will be back!

After a few disappointing experiences on Rover, I was understandably nervous about finding care for my two larger dogs during a three-week (20-day) trip. Her profile looked promising, but I was completely unprepared for just how exceptional the level of care would be. From the moment I met her and her husband, I felt an immediate sense of peace and trust. She was very attentive. My dogs took to them and their home right away. She gave them all the love and attention they receive at home—and possibly even more. She even let my pup snuggle in bed with her. It was clear that she loved and cared for them as if they were family. Throughout my trip, I received frequent pictures and videos of my dogs enjoying what was clearly a vacation of their own, complete with plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I received updates frequently and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. When I picked them up, they were calm, happy, and completely content. As a busy professional who hopes to travel more, I cannot adequately express what it means to have found someone I trust—literally without a second thought—to care for my fur babies. A truly 100/10 experience. I could not recommend her more highly.

Glenn is amazing! He took wonderful care of Ovi and made the entire experience stress-free. He is friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the pets he watches. He is always responsive to messages, provides updates, and is ready to help whenever needed. Glenn creates a true home-away-from-home environment, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Ovi in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Monrovia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Monrovia is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $86 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,955 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Monrovia. 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.

93% of sitters in Monrovia 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 Monrovia 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 Monrovia.

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 Monrovia. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 Monrovia 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.
