“We needed to board our two dogs over spring break and decided to give Lina a try. Lina was easy to work with and accommodated us with a meet-and-greet so our dogs had a chance to meet her. We just sent her some instructions for care, and she took care of everything without much additional clarification needed . She also had no problem or issues administering daily medication to one of our dogs who has bad allergies. Lina also sent us pictures throughout the 9 days our dogs stayed in her care.”
“This was our first time with Yi and we will be repeat customers. Yi was very helpful as we had many questions and initial concerns, but she was able to answer and assure us. Nala had the BEST time, Yi sent us photos daily and it was obvious to us from the photos that Nala was very happy and comfortable during her stay. Thank you so much!”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“I really like the constant update pics and the communications from Robin and keeping us honest as we could enjoy our son’s wedding abroad and not worry as much thinking of Max’s wellbeing.”
“Diana and her family are amazing! They were so loving towards my dog, sent updates/pictures, and were flexible with my travel plans. I would happily book with them again. 😍”
“Andrea and Michael were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! Our lab is a bit introverted but they made her feel right at home and both dogs were very happy in the photos they sent and when we came for pickup. We had a last minute adjustment on our drop off time and they were wonderfully accommodating. I’m so grateful that they took such good care of our sweet girls!”
“We have booked our dog Roxe with Sophia several times. I can tell by the pictures Roxe loves her walks and the other dogs. Roxe is a little timid so seeing her with other dogs and on walks assures us we have found a great dog sitter. Sophia is super sweet, flexible and very responsive. We love all the pictures. I highly recommend Sophia.”
“Sriju is an Angel! She was able to help us with last minute care for our Rosie bookending our trip (with my parents babysitting in between) and Rosie was simply obsessed with her. She got all the cuddles and plenty of exercise and I was thrilled knowing she was in such capable hands!”
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“We had a great experience with Youyou! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. My dog seemed happy and comfortable, and we truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents🩵”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of our dogs Hank and Duke. They both have a lot of energy and Ivan made sure they got the exercise they needed on a daily basis. Ivan was kind enough to send pictures of the dogs to us on a daily basis while we were away. They always looked happy and entertained. We can't thank Ivan enough for the care and attention he showed our dogs. We would definitely use him again.”
“Muffin had a great time with Swati. Swati did an awesome job updating us with pictures of Muffin during her stay. You can tell she really loves dogs. She also was very understanding about a last minute change our plans. I highly recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac
Jennifer is absolutely incredible! She watched my dog for over a week and truly went above and beyond in every way possible. I was nervous about being away for so long, but I received daily updates, detailed messages, and plenty of photos and videos that showed how happy and relaxed my dog was. It was clear She treated him like a member of her own family. I returned home to a calm, beautifully cared-for dog. I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be booking again
Although it's theoretically possible there could be a better dog sitter than Min, what are the odds? Min was incredibly kind, generous, attentive, communicative, and reassuring. We were away from our pup for three whole weeks, and I never had to doubt that Zephyr was being lovingly attended to. It's hard to be away from a furry family member for that long but Min made it exponentially easier. Big thanks to Min! We are so very grateful and will book with you again with pleasure.
This was our first experience using Rover and leaving our puppy, Zorro, in someone else’s care, and we couldn’t have been happier. He was clearly well cared for, had a great time, and we loved receiving photos and updates throughout his stay. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we even received helpful puppy-parenting tips that we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Zorro was in such good hands. We will definitely book again and highly recommend!
Jihae always takes such loving care of our pups. I can see the regular walks on the Fi app becausr she let's us plug in the bases at her place. She sends pics every day while we are away as well as little updates on their activities. We are so happy we found her, and our doggos seem to be happy too.
We are extremely fortunate to have found Robin. She has watched our little guy for many years. We find Robin to be an extremely thoughtful caregiver with expertise in caring for and raising dogs. I trust her implicitly. Additionally, our guy has extreme anxiety, but he is always happy to be with Robin and her pups. Without Robin to take care of our pup, I don't think we would ever leave town.
Yulan is an exceptional sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and friendly. She was able to accommodate to changing schedules with so much understanding. She took great care of Myla and sent daily updates with pictures and videos. I definitely trust her with Myla and will book her again.
Maddy is awesome! She was happy to take time to meet us before booking and was so caring towards our dog Kali from the start. She is responsive, sends great pictures, and has a fun dog of her own to keep your pup company. Maddy is flexible, reliable, and accommodating. So glad we found her and you will be also!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Potomac on Rover is $62.62 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 7,877 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Potomac. 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 Potomac 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 Potomac 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 Potomac 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 Potomac.
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 Potomac 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.
