“Rodney & Marissa watched my two 85 lb. Labradoodles for 10 days while I was on vacation. With other dog sitters my dogs had diarrhea for days after but not this time. They were in great shape! I really appreciated the pictures sent every other day. Thank you! I’ll definitely use you again.”
“Kassandra and her little guy took amazing care of my fur baby, Jax. From the photos, I could tell he was super comfortable and happy with them. She kept me updated every day with pictures and little check-ins about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I truly can’t thank her enough! If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”
“Kyasia was very accommodating due to our schedule of not necessarily knowing when we’re dropping off or picking up! I appreciate her communication and that she sent pics of the pups!”
“Mila was so loving and wonderful. I could tell she was genuinely a dog person that loved having our girl. It is also so nice she only takes and focuses on one dog at a time and she understands the importance of walking them many times a day. We are so appreciative we found her and that she will be able to take our dog while we are away.”
“Erika was amazing. Usually when I drop Bear off at a sitter he’s very upset when I leave him but her energy was so warm to him he went to her willingly and didn’t even notice when I left. She sent me pics showing him having a blast and when I picked him up he seemed happy and exhausted. Thanks Erica!”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“Miss. Lingli was amazing. She provided impeccable care for Grayson, my cat. During my time away, Miss Lingli provided pictures daily to keep me posted of Grayson 's mood and comfortability.”
“We had recently moved to the area and needed someone to care for our dog while we were out of town. Carla sent pictures every day and really treated our dog like her own. Carla’s care and communication are top notch. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“I was so lucky to get such high quality sitters at the last minute—that was my first plus! They arranged the meet and greet so that we could see that my Phoebe was going to fit into their “system.” Everything went smoothie so she could adjust while I was there. When we returned the next day for the drop off, Phoebe experienced separation anxiety which made me uncomfortable leaving, but within a half an hour Ginny texted me some pics of my girl being calm and sitting with Steve. So I could enjoy my vacation knowing that she was well taken care of. Two very lovely, caring, and capable caregivers.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Carolina was a wonderful sitter for my pups! We definitely had total peace of mind on our 10 day overseas trip that we had a safe, caring and attentive sitter for our special needs dogs. Carolina was very responsive to messages and accommodating when dropping off/picking up our pups. Our 2 dogs were very calm and relaxed with Carolina when we dropped them off and picked them up so we could tell that she took excellent care of them.”
“Robin and her daughter, are truly tuned in to the dogs that they care for. They reassured not only my little dog, Piper, but also me! —and calmed my nervousness about leaving Piper for the first time. Besides showing Piper and me the whole layout of their dedicated pet spaces, they carefully checked my notes and expectations regarding Piper’s care and medication, and clearly followed all guidelines. Best of all, they regularly sent pictures and videos which reassured me completely that Piper was having a wonderful time while I was away! I will be completely comfortable and happy to bring Piper back to Robin whenever I need excellent pet care again!”
“Jessica was great with my baby. She sent me pics. My baby looked happy from the meet and greet even when he went back 2weeks later like they never missed a bit. Jessica was attentive n lovable. Big thanks Jessica, he will be back. ❤️”
“This is Jack’s second stay with Rey, and we will definitely be using him going forward! Our dog is very wary about strangers and opening up, but we could tell that he is quite fond of Rey and his other pupper friends he made. Rey was incredibly responsive, sent lots of pictures, and made the stay very convenient. I appreciate that we do not have to provide a crate or bowls, as this makes dropping him off much easier. We will certainly be back! Thank you for taking care of Jack for us!”
“Crissy is an amazing help. She took great care of our dog and gave timely updates. Truly a pleasure to be able to use her services. I have no reservations about using her again in the future.”
“Eva and her family took excellent care of my Finnogan. She sends lots of pics and he looked so happy in each one. We are so happy to have found Eva on Rover. We will definitely board with her again.”
“Jerry was very good with Scruffy. He sent us lots of pictures and Scruffy seemed to have a great time and was well cared for. We will look for Jerry to board him again!”

Kassandra proved to be the best sitter we've encountered in the years we have been using Rover's services. She goes out of her way to make your pet really feel special and part of her family. Our pet is looking forward to his next stay with and her family who's partnership works well in creating the perfect environment. She keeps you fully up to date with what's going on with your pet.
We recently had our dog board with Dimitri for about 5 days. This was our first time with Dimitri and we were very happy. We felt confident that he could manage our dog, who is on the larger side (60 lbs), very strong, and prey driven. He was very responsive to my texts and sent me lots of pictures. He even gave our dog a bath, when he found a tick on another dog in his care. We would definitely board with him again!
I really appreciate Shakiyla. I contacted her in short notice due to my daughter being in the ER and not being able to find anyone to watch Reign. She responded immediately and was great with my dog. I was very nervous using this app for the first time, but She sent videos and kept me posted about how Reign was doing. She was a life saver. Thank you so much.
Erika - thank you for being such a wonderful caretaker for Tarot, since her first day meeting you she has been comfortable. Your ability to watch her consistently has been a big relief for her and myself, she is always so happy to see you time and time again. I truly appreciate you being so flexible and creating some consistency during my travels. -Brandon
Amaya did a great job caring for my fur baby BB while I was away for 11 nights on a mission trip to Africa. She accepted BB even though she had less than a week's notice. She did send pictures and a video of how BB was adjusting to her home, family, & their fur baby but because I did not have International calling ability & the Rover phone number provided is not set up to receive Google video calls or WhatsApp text. So, I had to wait until I returned home to get the updates. Amaya gave me a report on BB when I returned. Her home & the grounds are perfect for BB. I would certainly consider Amaya if I needed services for BB again.
Our dog Bax loved hanging out with Anita! I think he missed her when we left. Anita did an amazing job with communicating on when she walked our dog and how he was doing. She also sent random pictures of him just to send which was really nice. I would definitely book again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pikesville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $60 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 October 2026, there are 3,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pikesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville home-away-from-home, 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 Pikesville.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pikesville 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 , 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 .
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.
