“They were very accommodating to a last minute request! The communication was fantastic and thorough. We got a lot of great pics. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Cora was well cared for by Steven while we were away for the weekend. She was able to socialize and make new doggie friends. Steven was knowledgeable and gentle with Cora. She’ll be back to visit Steven and Shelby for sure!”
“Ariel took amazing care of Fluffy! She took him on lots of walks and treated him like a king. When I came to pick him up after a week away, he seemed like he might have preferred staying with her 😂”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it will not be my last. Felice, Ken, and Tyler treated my little girl like a princess. In each photo, she seemed to be having so much fun. Felice, Ken, and Tyler sent me numerous photos and included Riley in all of the family activities. When Ken realized Riley preferred to eat alone, he moved her feeding bowl to a more private area. The family was so attentive, and I will definitely book again.”
“Excellent care was provided by this family! My dog felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed the children of the family. My dog is still sleeping off all of the fun he had this weekend. Thank you!”
“Nino had a great time with Chris and Dante! It was his first time with a new Rover which always makes me a little nervous but she gave periodic and unprompted updates with pics which I appreciate and put me at ease. Will definitely have Nino stay with her again!”
“Carolina was so great! We needed to book a rover boarding last minute and she responded right away willing to take the job! We dropped off our puppy Wiggins within 1 hour. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Wiggins stay. Highly recommend Carolina.”
“As always, Kelly and her family were amazing. They took care of our Leo as their own and updated us several times a day with photos and notes. We were so thankful that Leo was in good hands during our out of country trip.”
“Wonderful person and family. Provided lots of pics to ease my mind because this was our first time. Allowed us to do a meet and greet the day before and was so accommodating to his allergy needs. Will definitely use again.”
“Shakiyla was very informative and pleasant to work with. She took excellent care of Zeus and I would recommend her to anyone and I’ll definitely will be using her services again.”
“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pikesville
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.
Leah and Shawn were fantastic sitters for my Pitsky, Finnegan! I was traveling from out of state (looking to move to Baltimore) and felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. They are both very laid-back, knowledgeable people who clearly understand dogs and dog behavior. Finnegan is a higher energy dog, and they were more than capable of handling the things that come along with that. I appreciated receiving updates and a few photos while I was away, which gave me peace of mind he was doing well. When I picked Finnegan up, he seemed very happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I can tell Leah and Shawn have a love for dogs that extends beyond their two very sweet resident pups, Olive and Zoe, who were such gracious hosts to have my little monster as a guest for an extended weekend stay. I would absolutely book with Leah and Shawn again and we fully intend to use them for future stays. Highly recommend!
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. She updated me and kept in communication along with sending pics. She is wonderful and my dog took to her beautiful energy. Thank you Mila for your exceptional service!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pikesville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pikesville on Rover is $44.4 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 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 July 2026, there are 3,110 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.
93% 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.
