“Lori is always so considerate of owners and shares pictures, videos, and frequent updates or our pets. We will continue to use her services, as she is an amazing caregiver!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
“Bianca was wonderful with our fur baby. She was proactive in keeping us informed on how Heaven was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. Heaven definitely enjoyed herself. We will definitely use her again.”
“Kelly did a phenomenal job with our Labrador Retriever puppy, Indy over the Holidays. She kept us up to date on all the activities he did with plenty of pictures and messages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to care for their pet.”
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”

Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of our dog and providing daily photos and updates. I highly recommend her and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“This was our first visit with Stephanie and Blaze and it was great! Stephanie is quite welcoming and she has a very comfortable home, which Henry seemed to fit right in! I love it that she sent me photos, which reassured me that Henry was settling in well. We are already scheduled for 2 more visits!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life, have two dogs, my 8 year old Pomeranian, Toby, and my 2 year old lab scout. We also have 3 cats; Finn, Sassy and sully I’m currently a stay at home mom raising my 14 month old son. He usually comes with me to do my rovers and does really well with animals as he has a bunch at home. He’s usually kept busy with toys or a movie while I do drop ins. We have house sitted before and he’s done well with that. My dogs are let out every two - four hours . My cats are fed twice daily once in the morning and again before bedtime but dry food is left out all day for grazing.

“We couldn't have asked for a more kind and loving caregiver for our two dogs. Lindalyn was a wonderful first experience for our dogs to have a sleepover at someone's home. Her own dogs were sweet and accepting and it was reassuring to receive her pictures and updates. We would definitely book a return visit in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“Ruby had a great time! Lots of individual attention and a safely fenced big yard where she could run around and play. Ruby was happy to see me but whined at leaving her new friends when we drove away. I'll definitely be coming back!”

Beyond amazing! Kept us updated throughout his time, and received cute pictures. Rocky is an older dog and can be tough sometimes, so I was worried, but he seemed so comfortable and she did absolutely amazing and was so kind! Highly recommend choosing her to watch your pups
Christianna is absolutely wonderful and has been an incredible dog sitter for us over the years. She’s extremely flexible, easy to work with, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she watches. Our dogs are always so well taken care of with her, and she even celebrated their birthdays while they were staying with her, which meant so much to us. I also accidentally had the wrong dates for our booking, and she went out of her way to accommodate us and take them earlier than planned. We feel very lucky to have found her and trust her completely with our dogs. We would highly recommend! 🐾
Shauna and her husband welcome my Joy into their home as if she were one of their own. Daily communications and photos while I’m away are something I look forward to getting every day. They care for her and love her just like I would. There is no better place for my Joy while I’m away!
I could not be happier! My Luna is such a nervous dog. But Jennifer made her feel at home. She responded to my messages quickly, and set my mind at ease. Jennifer really treats your pet as part of your family! I recommend her 100%. Looking forward to Luna's next visit in November! Thanks so much for taking care of my baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Patuxent River 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 147 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Patuxent River. About 89% of Patuxent River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
