“This was my first time using Rover. I read all of the reviews for Shuling and was very impressed with what previous customers had to say. I requested her services and she accepted, even though it was deemed a last minute request. She was very communicative, responded quickly to my questions and made booking with her easy. Upon drop off, she was waiting for us outside and greeted us warmly. Throughout Loki's stay, she provided multiple pictures of him daily. She put our hearts and minds at ease knowing he was in good hands. I had a request to extend his stay a few more days and she didn't hesitate to accept. Made the change to the dates easy. Upon picking him up, she was waiting outside with him and he was happy and healthy! I will definitely use Shuling again!!!”
“Michelle did a great job with our puppy, Indy. She sent us pictures of Indy being welcomed as part of her family on a daily basis. It’s reassuring to know that your fur baby is being so well cared for. And it’s so nice to not have to worry one bit while we were away. Thanks again Michelle!!”
“Wow, I can't say enough about how well Katelyn cared for and accommodated our dog Oscar. He was nervous at first but quickly adapted and thrived - thank you Soooo Much, 6 stars out of 5! Definitely a keeper!!”
“Beth is simply the best! She has provided loving and professional care to both our late geriatric Shih Tzu who had a number of health issues AND our new 5 month old Havanese puppy. Both dogs loved her! We have such confidence in Beth that whenever we need to go away, we can do so with confidence knowing our pup will enjoy her "vacation" too! We appreciate Beth so much and could not recommend her more highly.”
“Roxie had a great time with Jake and Melissa. They sent me pictures of her which made my day. I did not have to worry about her at all which is so nice when being on vacation. Would absolutely use them again!!”
“She is the best! So calm and professional even around my crazy excited dog. I trust her so much. Will book her anytime. My dog always looks around for her car when we go out- that alone tells me he is happy there. Just book her. Your pup will appreciate it. Love the photos she gives at the end of the boarding.”
“Elaine has been watching our special needs dog for several years. She is incredibly reliable, nurturing, and attentive. Hugo loves being in her home and we love knowing that he is receiving good care. We would highly recommend Elaine to others seeking care for their pups!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience that Star had with Eli. Eli did an amazing job taking care of Star and we will return to him every time we are in need of a sitter for our dog. Thank you Eli!”
“Megan took such wonderful care of Meeko while I was away! She truly treated him like her own, giving him all the cuddles and love he enjoys. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos—they gave me such peace of mind during my trip. I could tell Meeko was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Megan and would absolutely book with her again!”
“I am always pleased to have my dog stay with Luba and James. He is happy there, always greeting Luba enthusiastically when we drop him off. They send updates and lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“Marta was amazing!!! I am a firefighter with a crazy schedule but that didn’t phase her one bit. She accommodated my schedule, and loved my puppy like it was her own. I got pictures throughout the day and updates about how she was doing. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Definitely recommend.”
“Alicia and her family took wonderful care of Zen. She provided daily updates with lots of photos. I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely rebook with Alicia again.”
“Kathy did a great job. Luna our dog was very relaxed when we picked her up. Our dog gets easily stress out when we are away. Not this time :-) She had a great time with Kathy. Thank you very much.”
“Tiffany was very responsive when something was not right with one of our dogs during the boarding and went above and beyond trying to help. Her responsiveness allowed us to address the situation promptly.”
About: As a lifelong pet lover and pet owner of over 11 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. While I'm new to Rover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including senior dogs and raising and training my Doberman, Brody, over the past three years. As a full-time architect, I'm detail-oriented, organized, responsible, and a fast learner. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and making sure every detail is accounted for. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, extra patience and care in their senior years, or simply a little extra love and attention while you're away, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet's individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I look forward to building that trust with every booking. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work full-time as an architect, but I'm happy to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I'm available for walks and drop-in visits before my workday begins and during my lunch break, with additional availability outside of my regular 9–6 schedule depending on the day. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I live in a welcoming, family-oriented community with accessible walking paths and plenty of green space to explore and enjoy. It's a great environment for daily walks, fresh air, and outdoor adventures, not to mention it is walking distance to Quiet Waters Park, which includes a dog park/beach. My Doberman, Brody, is a friendly companion who may be able to keep your pup company, provided they're a good fit for one another. As an experienced pet owner, I understand that every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and comfort level, and I'll always prioritize their individual needs.
“Peggy was fantastic. She scheduled a time to meet us before our reserved dates, answered all of our questions and was very thorough. During the time of our pup over, Peggy sent regular updates. Just an overall good first experience with Rover and with Peggy G. I would use her again.”

Wonderful Rover Couple that combine a safe haven with a genuine love for pets and probably all animals. It was our first time using their services and understand all their 5-star ratings! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Hutch and sending us great pictures all along!
Elaine was fantastic. This was the first time we have used Rover for our pups and it could not have gone any better. She watched our guys during our long vacation and the pups loved her. She gave them lots of love, and spoil them rotten. It was so nice knowing that she also had a fenced in yard where they could go out and play and do their business. She sent us updates and pictures daily and it made us feel so at ease. Thank you again Elaine for everything.
Melissa was amazing with Ollie! He just turned 1, so he has TONS of energy, and being a Golden Retriever, he loves putting everything in his mouth. She was so sweet and even gave him old towels to play with because she knew it made him happy. We loved getting updates every morning and evening, and she was so accommodating with all of Ollie’s quirks including his obsession with water and getting it EVERYWHERE. Her dog Tanner also loved having Ollie around! I was definitely anxious leaving my baby, but Melissa took such great care of him and made me feel completely comfortable. Ollie will be back to board with her again in a few weeks, and I’m so happy we found her!
Kaci took care of my dog when I went on vacation and it was great! She kept me updated on my dog the entire time and kept her very active. It was such a relief to know that my dog was being cared of by someone who clearly has a lot of love for animals and is trustworthy and responsible. We will definitely have our dog stay with Kaci in the future.
Katie made Rosie feel right at home right away. Rosie has always been a bit slow to come around. She sent plenty of photos and videos and was very responsive. She even responded within minutes after we had picked up Rosie when I accidentally called her. She genuinely has a caring heart. Definitely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Parole is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 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 6,278 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Parole. 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 Parole 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 Parole 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 Parole.
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 Parole. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Parole 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.
