Justin and Stephanie were great and my dog returned happy. The daily photo and video updates were greatly appreciated and left me without worrying while we were away. I will definitely leave my pet with them next time.

Karen kept McDuff overnight. He had so much fun with Karen that when it was time to leave he was not sure he wanted to leave and he was sacked out on the couch for hours. Thank you Karen for taking good care of McDuff!

Barbra is wonderful with our Charlie. I can see from his interactions with her that he trusts her and is so comfortable there. She is kind, accommodating, and has excellent communication. Charlie always comes home happy after a stay!

I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog-sitter! From the moment we first met, Sharon’s warmth and genuine love for dogs were evident. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the utmost care and affection, look no further. Thank you, Sharon, for making our time away worry-free and for giving our dog such a wonderful experience!

Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!

Sadie did really well staying with Jacob and Megan – with getting older, she has some anxiety when she’s not at home and can be a little 'stubborn'. They were very accommodating and I appreciated the extra effort. I would definitely use them again to watch Sadie!

Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕

Yvonne was an amazing pet sitter! We had a new five month old puppy and a 2.5 week trip already planned. To add to it he got sick before we left. Yvonne gave him his medicine, a special diet, and took excellent care of him. She was home all day and he also found a wonderful friend in their dog Quincy. It made us feel so good when traveling to get updates and pictures throughout each day! Yvonne was a dentist and a is a dog lover so he came back to us with a beautiful coat and teeth. He showed off for her by losing five of his baby teeth while we were away and she saved them for us! It was such a invaluable experience to have our puppy in such good hands and so happy when we came home! I would highly recommend Yvonne as your pet sitter!

Ms. Pearl is a very kind and caring person, who took excellent care of my little dog. It was evident that she had genuine concern for his overall wellbeing. Chewie had so much fun, he didn't want to leave her. ;-) Chewie has had some health issues over the past three months, and we were very concerned about leaving him. Pearl kept us posted on his progress and he had no issues while in her care. She has a clean, safe and calm environment, which was perfect for my dog. We hope we can use her services again. Thank you, Ms. Pearl!

Jessica was very accommodating throughout the process. She even agreed to having our furbabies meet before the stay so I was comfortable with their likeness to each other. She was also very accommodating and get me updated on my little Oliver was doing. Would definitely book again with Jessica :)

I loved interacting with Kwame. He was kind, very communicative, VERY understanding, VERY reliable. I had to leave the country on short notice, looked into his profile, reached out to him and the setup was very smooth. He responded quickly and was all for keeping my baby for about a month. He kept me in the loop, asked any and all necessary questions about care details, sent me photos and videos. Once he knew everything, I was able to go throughout the busy days without checking in consistently. My baby seemed very happy with him & I can tell he was treated with much love. Keanu came home very happy. 💙

Kwame was very prompt with communication regarding our booking. He was flexible in arranging a meet and greet for our dogs. (Kwame's own dogs are very sweet!) Our dog, Indi, seemed to bond to Kwame quickly and was ready to stay when we returned for boarding. Indi was happy when we picked him up. We recommend Kwame and would rebook with him if our need and his schedule worked together.

FAQs for Boarding - North East

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in North East on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North East. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover 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.

91% of North East sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which North East 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 North East 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 North East.

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 North East 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.
