“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
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!!”
“I used Carlos for the first time and had a great experience! Drop-off and pick-up were super easy and convenient. My dog seemed happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Gracie was fabulous watching Lincoln! She was very communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos. We could tell that Lincoln was well taken care of and that Gracie made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend Gracie as a sitter!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!”
“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!”
“Nicole was great with my dog! She took plenty of time to ask thoughtful questions about her habits and behaviors, and took care of her accordingly. She was very prepared and had contingency plans in case our dogs didn’t get along (but they did!) and sent photos and videos throughout the weekend.”
“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. 😍”
“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.”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“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! 🤗”
“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!”
“John and Yongi were so wonderful to Shadow! We loved all the photos and videos, we were glad to see him having such a good time. John was flexible with drop off and pick up and accommodated changes in our schedule. Would absolutely have Shadow stay with them again!”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Shasta took great care of our puppy while we were away. She and her daughter are very sweet, their home was very clean, and they spent a lot of time outside with our pup, which is his favorite place to be! Shasta sent daily updates and pictures which showed our dog was happy as could be.”
“Our dog Bonnie stayed with Theresa for 10 days. She is amazing! I didn’t worry about Bonnie for a second. Theresa was communicative, sent photos, and took great care of our girl. Highly recommend!!”

Carlos and Travis took care care of my two boys over a weekend, and were very accommodating when I had a flight cancelations and had to extend another night. My small one had nervous stomach issues and they were communicative and took care of him. Thank you for the peace of mind and loving hands!
We had such a wonderful experience with Oyin Damola! From our very first communication, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating that I immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Our dog had an amazing stay and was clearly well cared for and loved. Oyin was attentive, caring, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely continue using Oyin in the future. She was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
We had an excellent experience with Mahamat! We picked up our sweet pup today after 10 days in his care, and she was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Mahamat and fully intend to be repeat customers!
Lucas was absolutely wonderful at caring for Dimples for over a week! Lucaas seems to have a natural ability to connect with dogs. He was incredibly flexible to allow me to drop off my dog on July 4th. He was also easy to coordinate and communicate with, and he kept my family, and particularly my kids, happy with regular pictures and updates. Dimples was so lucky to have the dedicated attention of both Lucas and his mother. I highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for fantastic care for their dog!"
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.
My husband and I travel frequently throughout the year, and for the past two and a half years, our dog Hendrix has always stayed with the same sitter. After unexpectedly learning that our longtime sitter was relocating out of state, we were understandably nervous about finding someone new. Thankfully, our experience with Mina couldn’t have been better! From our very first conversation through the duration of Hendrix’s stay, Mina was warm, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated with timely messages and adorable photos without ever being asked, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. When our return flight was unexpectedly delayed, she was both understanding and flexible, which we genuinely appreciated. If you’re considering booking with Mina, I recommend her without hesitation. We’re so grateful to have found someone who is not only kind, but also reliable and trustworthy. We look forward to booking with her again very soon. Thank you, Mina!
Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.
It was a real pleasure working with Bianca! She is a very professional, responsive, responsible, and nice dog sitter. She always updated us with photos and did activities with our dog. And the most important thing, due to our flight delay, she also agreed at the last minute to keep our dog for an extra night. We highly recommend working with her. We relaxed on our vacation, and our dog went back happy and safe, and this is the most important thing for us. Thank you Bianka!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rockville on Rover is $52.32 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 8,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rockville. 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 Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Rockville.
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 Rockville 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.
