“Christina was responsive, super friendly, and incredibly accommodating to our pup’s needs. She lives on an awesome farm. Plenty of room for running and playing! There are farm animals hanging out which made the visit even more exciting, so many animals to meet and sniff. We have already booked another stay for our boy. We can’t recommend Christina enough!”
“Samantha was amazing with our dog! She sends updates and pictures which makes me feel at ease. The backyard is a plus since our dog has energy and loves to run around. I will definitely be booking her again. Our dog can’t wait for his next stay with her!”
“Ray with hands down the best sitter I have used on Rover. He went out of his way to make sure Coby and I were 100% comfortable during his day. Coby is a 60 pound puppy with a lot of energy and loves to be with other dogs, Ray clearly has a ton of experience with larger dog breeds, and ensuring they’re well taken care of. His own dog and another were staying with him during the weekend as well which made Coby’s time even better. Ray was an active communicator and sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend. . He also went out of his way to do fun activities, and make sure Coby was getting plenty of exercise. Will be using Ray as my go-to sitter from here on out. Highly recommend his services if you are looking for a high quality, experienced, and thorough dog walker and sitter.”
“Highly recommend! They took great care of Blue and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that Blue was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We really appreciated the updates and attention he received. We would definitely book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Blue!”
“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”
“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”
“Frankie had the best time at Karen’s while I was in town for a wedding! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the night. This was Frankie’s first Rover experience and I can’t lie - I was nervous about his separation anxiety. When I picked him up in the morning it was clear that he felt so comfortable around her and that made me so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“Adrienne was so great with our dog. She was very responsive and communicative every day. I enjoyed seeing the updates with photos that she sent day. Knowing that Lexi was happy and well taken care makes a world of difference when you’re traveling and have to leave your dog. Thank you Adrienne!”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“This is my third time using Cheryl and she is excellent! I have a very timid and skittish rescue pup and Cheryl has shown her nothing but love and patience! I truly appreciate her care for my girl and looking forward to using her again.”
“Our dog was well taken care of, and we got pictures during the stay. Only problem was during pickup, Cindi was not home even though we confirmed the time earlier that same day. Her phone had died so we were unable to reach her. We waited an hour but ultimately went home. We were able to pick up our dog later.”
“I usually don't leave reviews but I have to this time. Renee is amazing! We found ourselves needing a sitter for our 7 month old Golden Doodle for a week. I had never used the Rover app OR a dog boarding service before. I found Renee using the Star Sitters filter and I am so grateful to her. She was patient with all of my questions (before, during, and after the meeting and greet!) and immediately put my mind at ease. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and has a very calm but assertive demeanor with them that made me confident she could handle our amped up puppy. While we were away she sent us pictures and updates regularly without me asking so I was never worried about how he was. He even made friends at her house to play with! After bringing him home I could tell she kept him on his routine and he is doing great. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Piero took great care of our two dogs during our two-week vacation! He provided photo and video updates and was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Both dogs were happy and healthy at the end of their stay. We’d happily leave them with Piero again in the future!”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Kenzie this weekend 🐾💕. You were amazing—always keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures, and being so gentle and patient with her, especially with her being blind. It really meant a lot to me to know she was safe, loved, and in such good hands. I also appreciate you letting me know about the little accident in her kennel 💦—you were so honest and attentive, and that shows just how much you care. You’re truly such a kind and loving person, and it shows in the way you treated Kenzie. I will definitely be using you again in the future! 🥰🐶 Thank you again!”
“So glad we found Nithya! She was available on short notice, super responsive, and very accommodating. Maestro was exhausted when he got home so he must have had lots of fun with Nithya and her other pups 😊.”
“Yang was amazing with Mochi!! Whenever I was wondering how Mochi was doing, Yang sent me a bunch of pictures of Mochi. I never had doubts to how she was doing and how she was behaving. Mochi is hard to trust new people but she felt instantly at home with Yang. If you are on the fence, go with confidence.”
“Yuhui has been very communicative and attentative. She took care of my dog for several days and frequently provided updates. Everything has been punctual. Absolutely recommend her to others.”

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 of Dog Boarding in Poolesville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 of October 2026, there are 6,697 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 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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville.
<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 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 , 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.
