“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful that Carlos and Travis looked after our dog Marble. We were stuck in the snowstorm for an additional day and they were both so accommodating! Marble had a great time with them and was well taken care of! We could not have asked for a better sitter and their flexibility made a stressful situation so much better! Thank you both!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“Chester did well with Sophia for his first visit! Her communication is excellent and we felt Chester was safe and well-cared with Sophia ! We will be boarding Chester with Sophia again and feel confident in recommending her to others.”
About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“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!!”
“Ivan and his family are a dream! They took such great care of Maxy while we were gone. Great communication and complete flexibility with drop off and pick up. You can tell that Ivan and his family truly love animals. My dog has issues with being left alone, and it was so nice at Ivan’s as his family all works from home and help to take care of your pet. In this case, it worked out so well as Maxy was never left alone once. They have a nice fenced in area and a dog door for easy in/out access. We loved their dog Sunny too, who was so mild mannered and a great companion for Max. Thank you so much! We can’t wait for the next time ;)”
“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! 🤗”
“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.”
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.
About: Every pet has their own unique personality that we understand and love, in your house or in ours. Pet lovers since childhood, we've been taking care of our own and others for the past 12 years. We have a large fenced backyard, and take the dogs for walks (when appropriate) each day. While we have a mixed house, our house has separate floors for dogs and cats, as they do appreciate having their own space. We have no problems administering medicine and taking care of puppies and older dogs. We never put animals in kennels/crates. In case of emergency the vet is a few blocks away. We work different schedules, so for 22hrs of the day there is always a caretaker at home to play, feed, let outside, take for walks and just be a companion when it is needed. We do our best to understand each animal's unique personality and needs. They are all loved differently. We have a large fenced yard, a super chill golden retriever who always loves new friends, and pet friendly neighbors. Basement, first floor and backyard is for the dogs, upstairs is for the cats, including our two amazing Siberians. We have no problems administering medicine and taking care of puppies and older dogs. We do not put animals in kennels/crates. In case of emergency the vet is a few blocks away.
“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.”
“Yvonne and her family were phenomenal! Our pup was obviously loved and spoiled— looks like he went on a vacation himself staying with them! We very much enjoyed and appreciated all the wonderful photos she sent too! Thank you Yvonne!!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Rockville is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
Kasey was great with both my dogs. All the images show how happy they are. It looks like both dogs trusted him, especially for Oreo who is very timid and takes time to warm up to someone new. Kasey handled the dogs well and shows a great deal of experience with dogs. I will definitely reach out again the next time we need to go out of town!
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!
Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.
Carlos and Travis took amazing care of Majesty while I traveled. They were responsive, sent pictures and updates, and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. Everything there is incredibly organized, and it’s clear they genuinely care. I highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of my girl!

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.
