“This was our second time having our Shiba Inu, Koko stay with Sophia. It was a great experience, we knew Koko was in good hands and she was well cared for. Highly recommend Sophia! She and her family really care for their guests and it shows. Our dog was so happy.”
“Ivan was awesome. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my girls while I was away. Every day he posted new photos and made sure they were enjoying their walks at the park. Ivan was super patient, especially when I had an unexpected change in my pickup schedule due to the weather. I really appreciate him cutting Sarah's nails too, I didn't expect her to let him. I'd totally recommend Ivan to everyone. Thank you again Ivan, until next time .”
“We have a Husky (Kalea) and she gets separation anxiety so we needed to find a home where she wasn’t crated. Kelly and her family are amazing with her and she became part of their family. Kelly sent me updates daily with photos and we could tell that Kalea was relaxed and having fun. Kelly has a big yard and a sweet little dog PJ that got along very well with Kalea. The whole experience was perfect and we were able to go away knowing Kalea was happy. Thank you Kelly!”
“Liane is amazing! Our dog, Muki, had some medical issues arise during her stay and Liane handled everything as if Muki was her own dog. We were highly impressed with her quick action, flexibility and attentiveness during this situation as we were out of the country and unable to handle any of it ourselves. Very few would be able to handle this the way she did. We will always book with Liane!”
“This was our first time looking for dog sitter and we couldn’t be more happy to have found Lily! She is truly a dog whisperer and a blessing in disguise! We fell in love with Lily and her sweet dog Ted. It was Winston’s first time having a playmate and they bonded instantly. It was adorable to see their social interaction. Lily has the perfect home and back yard for Ted and Winston to play and run. When we left Winston for the first time, he didn’t even look back to say goodbye to us. Lily was so responsive when we reached out to her and she took the time each day to send a picture and a status on Winston. Lily gave us the peace of mind we needed while on our family vacation. When we brought Winston back home, he was super sad. We believe he misses Lily and Ted. We highly recommend Lily!!! She has a warm and natural way of welcoming you! You will love her and Ted!!!”
“It is obvious that Christina is extremely experienced with watching all kinds of dogs. My Vizsla Jelly can be a anxious little freak but Christina handled her personality with ease. Thanks so much Christina!”
“Marylee was absolutely wonderful from the first day I met her to discuss watching my dog Molly. I appreciated how thorough she was with her advance questions about Molly and the opportunity to meet with her first, and really appreciated the way she kept me posted on Molly's day along with the photos she sent. She and her husband Alan's love of dogs shines through!”
“Titan was immediately comfortable with Robin, and we were worry-free during our 8-day vacation. Robin kept us up to date on how Titan was doing and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. We will definitely think of Robin in the future when Titan needs daycare or boarding. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”
“We were so happy to have found Cheryl and our dog Sofi had a great time. Sofi seemed very relaxed and happy when we picked her up and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“Leslie took great care with our boys, Bodhi and Bear. This was the first time we left them with a pet sitter. It was reassuring to get regular updates and photos for our boys from Leslie. She did a wonderful job caring for them, giving them plenty of love and activity. They seemed to settle right in and had a great stay. I highly recommend Leslie and will use her again!”
“Phil and Amanda were great with Atticus! I appreciated the updates, and it looked like he had A LOT of fun. They seem very experienced with dogs and to prioritize safety.”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“This is our 2nd time boarding our two yellow labs with Valerie—and she and her family were awesome again. I don’t know if our dogs wanted to be picked up from her house! They get along great with her dog and are spoiled and loved. What more could we ask for?”
“Thanks a million to Shiva for taking such good care of our baby. He is an anxious pup and shiva and her family were so patient with him. We received detailed updates with pictures that nearly teared us up as we have never seen our pup so calm and content with anyone else up until now. Our long weekend was extra special knowing he was in good hands. 14/10 recommend.”
“Outstanding care was provided for my Golden retriever. I'm eager to book another reservation because my dog was so happy when she was with this very kind family! She enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, Dell, and she loved playing with Dell in their large backyard. Communication with James and Nicolette was also great and they were very accommodating when I arrived late to pick-up, due to a snowstorm.”
“Teddy just came home from spending 3 nights with Ali and her family. When I picked him up he was all brushed out and handsome and he came home with a surprise toy that Ali gave him. These little extras separate her from other pet sitters. When he got home he was a bit out of sorts, but I think he just misses playing with her daughter and all the extra attention he got. I highly recommend Ali's pet sitting services.”
“Mindy came through big time when we were in a pinch. Our usual dog sitter canceled unexpectedly and we found and booked Mindy last minute. After a meet and greet we booked and Ace was in great hands. Thanks, Mindy!”
“Elisa and James were the best! They loved on our Howie as their own. Howie had a great experience and was extremely well cared for! I’ll definitely be using them again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Poolesville is $54
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poolesville
We are repeat clients on Rover, and we couldn't be happier with the care Phil and Amanda provide. They take wonderful care of our dog, Teddy, and always make us feel at ease while we're away. We especially appreciate the frequent updates and photos they send, which let us see how much Teddy is enjoying his time with them. It's clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We feel very fortunate to have found such trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitters, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Kayla was wonderful watching our young pup. This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone, and Kayla made her feel right at home. She is so quick to respond to messages, sends picture updates and has a wonderful home setup for dogs to feel comfy. I also appreciated that Kayla asked if there were any special requests that she should be aware of when watching our dog. Our dog warmed up to Kayla immediately, which made us feel like she was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kayla as a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Poolesville on Rover is $42.49 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,674 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Poolesville. 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.
94% of Poolesville 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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville.
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 Poolesville 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.
