“I’m grateful that Lindsey accepted Cecelia in her home as her own, and for the gentle care that she provided. From the pictures Lindsey sent me and the texts on the daily basis (even multiple times a day), I could tell that Cecelia was feeling very comfortable, happy, and content that all her needs were being met. I highly recommend Lindsey, and would definitely ask her for the care of Cecelia again.”

About: 🐴🐍 will care for animals other than dogs/cats🐔🐰 Oh boy where do I start. I’ve always had a passion for animals, whether it’s a dog, cat, bird, insect, frog, snake, you name it. Pets have always been a staple in my house and in my 24 years of living I don’t think I’ve ever been without one. Even one in the home wasn’t enough for me, I worked for a boarding kennel in high-school for two years! I was responsible for walks, food, administering medication, and cleaning up each individual space for the dogs and cats. Recently, I took my own dog to a 10 week training course and learned so much being there. I would be honored to take care of your furry (or not furry) friend! *** DOG BOARDING: -Dogs MUST be potty trained, if your dog cannot hold their bladder for less than 2 hours please reconsider. -Dogs MUST be okay with other dogs and cats. -If your dog NEEDS to be crated PLEASE provide a crate. -Please notify me of any issues including, eating various items, prone to accidents, and aggressiveness (regarding animals, food, or people). I work full time but have 2-3 days work from home! I also have plenty of free time before/after work, on weekends, and during holidays for your pup. Let me know any questions you have! My pup Maze and I love long walks as well as outdoor play. We currently don’t have a fenced in yard but we don’t let that stop us!

Went to the park after (which he loves and doesnt want to leave. Lol.) We lasted 20 minutes and he was ready to go. Will definitely be in touch in the future ! Thank you for everything.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rising Sun

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rising Sun is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $60 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 717 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rising Sun. 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.

96% of sitters in Rising Sun 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 Rising Sun 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 Rising Sun.

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 Rising Sun 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.
