“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!!”
“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.”
“Christopher took excellent care of our boy and provided frequent updates. He even bought a bone for our boy to chew on while he looked after him! I would definitely use again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Andrea and Michael were wonderful hosts for our two dogs! Our lab is a bit introverted but they made her feel right at home and both dogs were very happy in the photos they sent and when we came for pickup. We had a last minute adjustment on our drop off time and they were wonderfully accommodating. I’m so grateful that they took such good care of our sweet girls!”
“We have booked Ivan twice. Both times he has been communicative providing photos and updates on a daily basis and always at least one shot of them on a walk. Norea seems relaxed and calm after her stay.”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“This was our first time boarding with Sophia and I can't say enough good things about her. Bailey enjoyed daily walks and getting lots of love and attention. Sophia sent daily photos and updates and always responded right away to any messages I sent. It was easy to see that Sophia loves to be around and care for dogs. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Nicole was even better than I hoped. She was very attentive to my aging dog, and went above and beyond in accommodating her and making her feel at home. Even Nicole's dog took care of Bryn, letting her sleep in his bed and letting her drink water before he did. I was worried about choosing an apartment caregiver, but it turned to be perfect - carpeted halls and elevators made it easy for Bryn to get around.”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
“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.”
“Aurora loves hanging out with Camilo and his wife! It’s like the best vacation, with multiple walks and enrichment activities everyday and someone with her at the house all day. Camilo is always my first call when I need to travel, because I know Aurora will be taken care of just as well as (or maybe even better than) if she were with me!”
“Chai had the absolute best time with Marissa! She stayed for 8 days and was so well loved and cared for. Chai completely bonded with Marissa's dog, Kobe—they had a blast playing together, and Chai especially loved trying to steal all of his toys. Marissa sent regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Chai was in fantastic hands. I will absolutely book with Marissa again and highly recommend her!”
“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Pam and her daughter were so great with Pancho. They sent me many pictures and updates, it was obvious he was getting lots of love, attention and fun active time. Highly recommend and hopefully Pancho will get to pay another visit to their place!”
“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.”

We had Chris watch our dog Gus, and he was fantastic. Chris was extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, regularly sending photos and videos so we always knew how Gus was doing. It gave us total peace of mind, and Gus came home super happy. We would absolutely use Chris again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
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
John took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I got a mixture of pictures daily from my dog playing as well as taking napping breaks. I loved the good morning and good night check ins so I knew my dog was ok while I was gone. I would gladly book another stay with John and am happy I found a reliable sitter in my neighborhood.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Yumin. She took wonderful care of our dog Wilson while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout, always keeping us in the loop, and sent update photos that gave us real peace of mind. Best of all, Wilson seemed genuinely happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely recommend Yumin and would happily book her again.
Courtney looked after Buddy for over 2 weeks which was the longest he has been away from us. This was Buddy’s second stay with Courtney so he settled well and adjusted quickly to his new environment. Courtney reached out to check in on Buddy before his stay, mainly to understand if there had been any changes she should be aware of. We received lots of photographs and messages every day telling us how Buddy was doing which was welcomed and reassuring. We were totally relaxed and confident leaving Buddy with Coutney (& Scott) knowing he was being very well cared for. Our return flights were delayed ahead of collection and Courtney offered a drop off at our home. This really helped us out when tired and pressured after long haul travel. When Buddy came home he was happy to see us, but we also see the bond he has with Courtney which is lovely to see. Thanks again Courtney and Scott!
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.
Carlos was very welcoming of Ruby into his home. We felt completely comfortable leaving Ruby in his care for the three weeks we were out of town, and appreciated the photo and text updates. Ruby came back to us looking well cared for. We certainly will be a repeat customer.
Chris and Heidy took fantastic care of Sophie — she spent close to 3 weeks with them and came back healthy and happy. Communication with them was easy and clear throughout the entire time we were away and they were very accommodating and flexible on timing of drop off and pick up. We will certainly ask Chris and Heidy to host Sophie again and highly recommend them. Five stars all around!
Wow, my boy, Paxton, hit the jackpot staying with Marissa and her family. Its hard handing off your boy to strangers. Within minutes of meeting them I knew it would be great and I was right. Marissa sent me daily updates including pictures. Paxton had tons of walks and play. He was treated like one of the family

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rockville on Rover is $53.5 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 7,961 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.
