“Great communication & flexibility. Got tons of photos and my dogs appeared to have an amazing time and loved being a part of the pack of pups at his house. Will definitely use him again!”
“Fantastic!! Shannon watched my one year old very anxious puppy, Luna. I was very nervous Luna wouldn’t settle, but Shannon took the time to allow Luna to open up to her. Within 30 minutes of dropping Luna off I had picture updates and text updates! She continued with many pictures and messages to keep me in the loop of how Lunas day was going. Shannon was so sweet and kind, relieving any nerves I had. She was able to work with my nervous pup and keep her happy! I was so grateful for Shannon’s patience and expert care. She also administered eye drops to my pup who has some eye problems. I felt completely at easy knowing Shannon was diligently watching over my pup. I plan to use Shannon again and again anytime I’m out of time!”

“Erin was absolutely amazing!! From scheduling a meet and greet with our pup a few weeks before to sending daily updates with pictures I never once had to worry about my fur baby while on vacation. We are first time dog owners so this is the first time we’ve ever needed a sitter and I couldn’t be happier that we found Erin. Remy loved her stay and greatly enjoyed the cats and snuggles she received all week - I don’t think she wanted to come home! If you’re looking for a caring, animal loving, and amazing sitter Erin is your person!!”
“Melissa was a perfect fit for our pup. Her two dogs are wonderful, and our dog had a great time. I’m not even sure she missed us!! Would definitely have Melissa watch our dog in the future.”
“I think Lois was my best Christmas gift! We had a big family trip planned over the holiday and I hated the thought of my dog locked in a kennel. I just happened to check the Rover site for the first time and saw that Lois was willing to take in a “guest” for Christmas. We set up a meet and greet because Lois also has a dog. I trusted her knowledge of dog behavior and she was confident the two dogs would get along. They were like brothers! During the stay, she spoiled Milo with extra attention, special treats and toys, long walks, and he got to be part of the family on Christmas Day. She sent me photos and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Lois - she does an amazing job and I look forward to taking Milo back.”
“James and Mary are wonderful! They took such great care of Hoosier while we were away and always kept us updated with how he was doing with daily pictures! I felt at ease and was able to relax while on vacation knowing he was in such great hands. Big thank you to them for being so wonderful and looking forward to the next time Hoosier spends some time with James and Mary!”
“Jill and her husband are taking care of dogs full time and so know a lot about dogs. There were several other dogs there when we boarded her for 2 days. She loves to play with other dogs and so I’m sure she had a great time as she was very tired when she got home.”
“Liz & Jeff continue to be the absolute best. Our Gracie girl loves spending time with their family and doesn’t seem to want to leave. Liz send lots of pictures and stories about what our girl has been up to all week. We wouldn’t trust her with anyone else. Thanks again!”
“Diana and her husband are THE BEST! My Havanese, Molly, had an amazing time with them while I was on vacation. Diana gave me peace of mind that Molly was safe, happy, and loved. She’s an excellent communicator with daily updates including pictures/videos. I cannot say enough good things about her. They kept all of Molly’s routines the same and treated her like one of their own. I was new to Rover and was apprehensive at first, but with Diana, you do you not need to worry at all. I will definitely be using her again in the future😊 Thank you again for everything!!”
“Ariel is amazing with my dog - Fluffy. Fluffy seems to really like her and is very happy to be dropped off there. I trust Ariel completely and highly recommend her!”

Dimitri took care of truffles like his own dog. I was so nervous to leave truffles with someone else, but he made it super easy. Dimitri updated us constantly sending videos, pictures and text messages. Dimitri was so accommodating with truffles needs. Truffles was very well taken care of, he was very happy and calm.
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!!
I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.
As a first time Rover user of the sitting service, Mila eased my anxiety with the care she provided to my senior dog. I was had not worries while out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pikesville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,091 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 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.
92% of Pikesville 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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville.
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 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 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.
