Dog Boarding Rockville

“Thiago was absolutely fantastic! My fiancée and I booked him to watch our two dogs, Danny and Bentley, while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the beginning, Thiago was friendly, accommodating, and extremely responsive. He made us feel comfortable leaving both dogs in his care, especially Danny, who is 12 years old. Throughout the stay, he consistently sent photos, videos, and updates showing the dogs enjoying themselves, going on walks, and getting plenty of attention. It was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable they were. He was also very flexible and communicative when coordinating drop off and pickup, which we really appreciated with our travel schedule. It’s clear that Thiago genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing Danny and Bentley were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. Thanks again, Thiago!”

“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Friends, coworkers and neighbors have all called me to watch their pets and walk them reliably for years. I work a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but have all the time and attention to give your pets walks afterward and remain free on weekends! I have a spacious backyard that is fenced off for play time and potty use with two friendly pets of my own. I can crate your pet if needed.

“Erin did a wonderful job, our little teacup Sophie is so relaxed after almost a 4 day stay which shows that she was cared for with lots of TLC. We got many pictures and status update which is always wonderful , we were running late picking her up, but Erin accommodated us and was very kind. We’re so grateful and we will definitely be back! Thanks a lot, Erin! Sean & Laura”

“Sandra was great! She was super understanding and flexible when I had to adjust pickup and drop-off times, which made things so much easier. She kept me updated regularly and sent cute pictures, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. My dogs were clearly happy and well taken care of. I’d book with her again!”

“Cristina did an amazing job! Our little doggie loved her time there. Cristina was great at communication, sending pictures and updates, and was also flexible with her time. We will happily use her again!”

“Maizie had such a great time at Darlene’s! Darlene was extremely communicative and sent updates and pictures. Maizie got to go on lots of walks and was so well taken care of. I also appreciated Darlene being flexible with our drop off time. Will be booking again!”

“Great week-long stay – dependable and caring! Tony took care of Jax (my high energy Shepherd) for a full week, and everything went really smoothly. He was dependable, followed all the care instructions, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. It was clear Jax was comfortable and well cared for, which gave me real peace of mind while I was out of the country. Tony has a great backyard for a high energy dog and also a sweet dog, Chico, of his own. I’d definitely recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”

“Sabrina was a wonderful host and caretaker of Pippa while we were away. This was my first experience with Rover, and I feel very fortunate to have found Sabrina. She regularly updated me with pictures and videos and texts to let me know all was going smoothly. Would recommend! 😀”

“We are so lucky to find Cymantha to watch our Archie. The meet/greet went well. She really knows a lot about dogs. Cymantha was helpful, replied in a timely fashion and was great to work with. Archie's overnight was successful. Definitely will contact Cymantha again, when needed. She is wonderful.”

“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”

“Lauren was AMAZING!! This was my first time using Rover in years, as I typically have friends and family watch my dogs. But, we had a wedding that everyone attended. After months of trying someone that was willing to watch my anxious and reactive dogs, I got so lucky to find Lauren! She immediately eased any concern during our meet and greet, and my dogs who don’t like strangers immediately were comfortable with her. She shared stories about her experience with different needs and personalities, which made me feel much better. When I dropped my dogs off, she assured me she would send updates, and she delivered!! Even if I wasn’t able to reply, she continued to send pictures, videos, and updates about their days. Both dogs came home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure they thought they were on vacation. I would 1000% recommend booking with her. We will be using Lauren for future trips!!”

“Kazumi was so great with our dog, Lemon was a little sad at first but she warmed up to Kazumi. Kazumi sent us many pictures of her playing and reassured me that Lemon was fine. I am so glad we found Kazumi, she is great and so attentive to our dog. What a blessing to find someone who cared for our dog like her own💜”

“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
