“Lina was an incredible host to our dog, Leo. She was extremely diligent of all the instructions we left for her, including his medication and care schedule, gave Leo a lot of love and attention, and was very communicative with us throughout the stay. Would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Our dog Dobby always enjoys staying with Robin and Michael. When our international return flight was cancelled and we needed to extend Dobby's stay by one day, we truly appreciated their flexibility in accommodating the request! Thank you!”
“Received pictures daily of our beloved pup in full action. Came back to a pup that was happy and tired — all signs of multiple consecutive days of endless puppy romps with other dogs. Yi is immediately responsive to any and all inquiries. We have a discerning palate when it comes to the care of our beloved pup and Yi fit the bill and beyond.”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”
“Ivan was great! Frequent updates and photos of my dog, so I could focus on my trip with peace of mind. Great meet-and-greet experience with his dog, thoughtful consideration of my aging dog’s discomfort with her leg. Such a great stay for my dog. Thank you, Ivan!”
“Andy was so accommodating and kind when we had a surprise emergency. We felt happy and at peace knowing Spencer was in good hands. It seems like Spencer got a lot of love and care at Andy’s. Highly recommend!!”
“Huey took wonderful care of Ziggy. She is great to work with - good communication, daily videos/photos, and you can tell she really loves caring for the animals. Will be booking her again soon!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
“Jason and Becky gave my dog the highest level of attention and care. My dog is a shepherd mix with relatively high energy. They took the best care of him while I was gone for a few days.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Highly recommend! We had a very last minute cancellation by our dog sitter for Jeb on the morning of a trip out of town. Very lucky that we found Shahan - she replied right away and was able to take our buddy Jeb with only 2 hours of advance notice! Shoham has a large fenced in backyard, great for pups to get their exercise. She also provided walks and kept me updated on Jeb throughout the weekend. You can tell she is very good with dogs because Jeb was very relaxed when we arrived, and took the time to introduce him to the other dogs visiting to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely be using Shoham again for future doggie visits!”
“Anne and family were great with our dog. She was very easy to communicate with, has a great house with a fenced in backyard, nice neighborhood, and parks nearby, etc. Her own dog was adorable and got along well with our high-energy 2-year old dog. We never know about how our dog will get along since, although he is quite friendly, he does have a lot of energy and loves a lot of running, chasing, etc. We had various special instructions for feeding, walking, playing, and the like, and Anne was great in taking care of those requests. We appreciated getting pictures and updates and we highly recommend.”

Andrea and Michael were amazing. Our two labs were super relaxed and happy staying with Andrea and Michael. They were very communicative and sent lots of pics and we were relieved that our girls were staying with a lovely family in a warm and happy home. Can’t recommend enough.
Natalie always takes amazing care of my dog. He has stayed with her many times and is always happy to go visit. She will treat your dog like one of her own. My dog is a rescue and gets anxious with change but he is very willing to go with Natalie, instead of being nervous that I am leaving. Natalie provides as many updates as you need. I know that my dog is always in good hands and well taken care of when I am away. Having that peace of mind is a great feeling while traveling
Yulan watched our lab retriever for 5 days and was fantastic! She reached out with clarification questions whenever necessary and sent frequent updates. Most importantly, when we picked our pup up, she was incredibly happy and clearly well cared for. With other sitters, our pup sometimes came home very low-key and different, not wanting much to play or engage until a couple of days later. The difference this time around was incredible, and we were so grateful. I highly recommend Yulan. She will take excellent care of your pet!
Stevie was only there for 1 night but Ray and Ivy were very accommodating when I asked for a quick meet and greet due to my dogs anxiety. Their home is very dog friendly and Stevie was well cared for. They also sent tons of pictures and communication was great. I would certainly use them again.
Joan was so caring and careful with our senior dog who needs a lot of care. We know our dog will always be in the best of care with Joan. The updates provided several times a day with funny stories and photos was so reassuring! Would highly recommend and will use again.
Ivy did a fantastic job caring for my dog Zuko, and the whole experience was amazing! Before the sit even started, she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Zuko's routine, play style, care needs, and personality. You could tell right away how much she genuinely cares. Zuko is high anxiety and usually wary of strangers, but he and Ivy bonded instantly. He loves her! Throughout our time apart, Ivy was incredibly communicative, sending photos and daily updates so I always knew how his day went. She truly goes above and beyond to make both Zuko and me feel comfortable. This was my first time being away from Zuko, and Ivy's care and attentiveness put me completely at ease. I can't recommend her enough. We'll absolutely be booking with her again! Thank you, Ivy!!
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.
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Potomac on Rover is $62.33 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 7,819 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.
