“We greatly appreciated Kelly and Maurice's flexibility when we had a last minute request for our Roxy. She was well taken care of, loved on, and made comfortable as soon as we dropped her off. It helped ease our minds knowing that she was in a great environment!”

“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”

“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”

“Kimberly took care of our two pups for a full week, and we were really satisfied with her services. Kimberly welcomed me to her home to see where the dogs would be staying and see her outdoor space. She has a lovely, big outdoor area for the dogs to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Our dogs had a bedroom with a gate to themselves, separate from any of the other dogs staying, with a bed, blankets, and even a TV! The pups split their time between their room and the back yard. Kimberly sent us lots of photos and videos each day we were away, and was super responsive in all communication. She even offered pick-up and drop-off service, which was super helpful for our travel schedule.”

She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well.

It was our first time leaving him so we were pretty anxious, but from the second we dropped our pup off we felt at ease because Gus was happy and comfortable with Diego. We got pictures and videos of him having a nice time thought his stay that reassured us he was having a good time.”

About: Hello! If you’re looking for a caregiver who combines deep personal love for animals with professional medical awareness, you’ve found the right spot. I know that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family—and I treat every dog and cat in my care with the exact same love, patience, and vigilance I’d give my own. My Background & Experience Clinical Insight & Safety: My journey in pet care includes a full year working on the ground at Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC. Working in a top-tier veterinary hospital environment taught me how to read animal body language, handle pets safely and gently, stay calm under pressure, and quickly spot if a pet is feeling under the weather. Long-Term Personal Care: For over 6 years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for a sweet Yorkie, managing daily routines, feeding, walks, and tons of cuddle time. That long-term experience taught me how important consistency, routine, and clear communication are for both pets and their parents. What You Can Count On: Peace of Mind: You’ll get clear, daily updates and plenty of photos so you always know your pet is happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Specialized Care: Thanks to my hospital experience, I’m comfortable following precise dietary routines, administering medications, or accommodating special senior/small-dog needs. A Calm, Nurturing Environment: Whether your dog is an energetic explorer or a quiet couch potato, I adapt my approach to make them feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! Feel free to send me a message to arrange a Meet & Greet or ask any questions. My Daily Schedule Because I work from home 4 days a week, your pet will enjoy almost constant company throughout the day! I only go into an office once a week, so my weekday routine revolves primarily around being at home and attentive to my pet guests. I do workout throughout the week, but my workout routine is completely flexible—I always prioritize feeding schedules and morning walks before or after depending on your pet’s needs. Weekends vary, so feel free to reach out with your dates and we can coordinate! Safety, Trust, & Home Setup Outdoor Space: Located in a dog-friendly neighborhood with widespread grassy areas and safe walking routes for daily exercise and potty breaks. Indoor Setup: Generous living room space for relaxing and a dedicated basement area. I have ample space for temporary crating if requested or needed for safe management. Clinic-Level Standards: Double-checking leashes/harnesses before stepping outside, maintaining strict door-awareness to prevent bolting, and recognizing early signs of pet stress or discomfort.

Madalyn and her family went above and beyond for our little guy. They took exceptional care of our dog who has history of separation anxiety and used their knowledge and skills to make sure that our boy felt like safe and free of anxiety and boy, did it work! I am so overjoyed that I found an individual who I can rely on to make my pup feel safe and happy!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Odyssey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Odyssey is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $52 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 6,131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Odyssey. 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.

94% of sitters in Odyssey 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 Odyssey 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 Odyssey.

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 Odyssey. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 Odyssey 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.
