“My boy stayed with Luna for a week. He played hard and made some new friends. She communicated with me each day through pictures and texts. This is Riggs second stay and I highly recommend her services. I have found someone that I trust and can depend on to take care of my fur child. Thank you Luna.”
“Atticus loves to stay with Chanda and Chad. When he comes home he is happy and I know he is well take care of. I receive photos and videos of his stay and I really appreciate that.”
“Wonderful sitters! We were camping with a group at Sand Hollow State Park which is only 15 min away. Dropped off our pups before heading into Zion for overnight backpacking. Super convenient with excellent communication. We have an older dog that required some extra care and we weren’t aware of his recent marking behavior outside of our home… I felt so bad, but they were very kind and understanding about it. We did provide diapers for when he was left unattended that came in handy. They live in a beautiful, safe neighborhood. All three of our pups looked very relaxed when we picked them up. Even our anxiety pup which says a lot! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups and will be reaching out if ever in the area again.”
“It was my first time leaving my pup with someone over night. I was very nervous but I honestly could not have picked a better sitter. Mishell was incredible and sent me photos and updates every day. I 100% plan on booking with her in the future.”
“Claudia and her husband are absolutely wonderful to work with. Our plans changed and she was more than accommodating. Claudia took excellent care of our pups and I will definitely use her services again”
“Krishna took great care of Eggy. She’s quick responding and proactively sending updates. We are so happy that Eggy is making friends with Sophie and Russel. We will definitely come back!”
“Kevin and Ashlee were so great with Ozzy. They were very accommodating with my schedule. I received updates every day and I came back to a very happy well taken care of Dog.”
About: I’ve been a caregiver, of pets and elderly on and off for 20+ years. My home is set up for dogs, with a fully fenced yard, dog door, and chill dog friendly home. We have two dogs of our own who are great with other dogs and are vaccinated. I’m a full time online student and mom, so I am home most of the time. We are all about dog play time and couch cuddles in our home. I have a fully fenced yard. We have two well behaved dogs that are good with other dogs. We try not to overlap dog families. Sometimes we will overlap for a couple days, if we feel we can make it work for us and all the dogs are comfortable.
“Brittany was so great! She is a total dog lover and made sure our pup was comfortable. She made sure she got her walks to help with anxiety and even helped her progress with swimming and walking off leash. I received regular pictures and updates. I will 100% be calling Brittany again for future dog boarding!”
About: As a dog mama myself, I understand what it means to leave your pup in someone else's hands. I treat every dog like family — with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. We go on lots of walks (there's a trail right next to my house) and have tons of play time and cuddle time. I work from home, so am able to give your pup the attention s/he needs and deserves. I go on frequent walks with my own pup and have a dog door so the pups can go in and out as they need. There is a trail right beside out house and we go on lots of walks throughout the day. They will get lots of love, snuggles, and exercise!
About: I genuinely love taking care of animals! Whether it’s walking, playing, training, or introducing them to my adorable sweet poodle(only if you’re comfortable with that) I hope you’ll consider me to be your caregiver! My availability is pretty open! The only other job I have is cleaning a house twice a week. Let me know what your needs are and we can figure out schedules! I have a fenced/brick yard so your dog is safe here. I have a medium sized poodle who loves all animals, she’s super friendly and sweet. My backyard is pretty big so lots of space to let out energy.
About: Hi there! For years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family while they’re away, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a calm environment. I have plenty of hands-on experience and truly enjoy giving pets attention, care, and consistency while their owners are gone! I do have 3 outdoor cats, but they are separate and will not interfere with your pet’s space, comfort, or routine. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me at church, playing pickleball, reading my Bible, going to the gym, or grabbing an acai bowl! :) I play professional pickleball, so my day is structured around training in short blocks. I train in the morning and again in the afternoon, but I’m home throughout the day to care for pets and provide walks, attention, and consistency. I’m never gone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m available most weekdays and weekends when I’m not traveling for tournaments. I will only accept bookings when I’m fully available to provide proper care and attention! I have a spacious one story home and a backyard where pets can safely spend time outside. One side of the yard is not fully fenced, so I always supervise outdoor time or keep them on their leash. Pets will also get regular walks around my safe, quiet neighborhood for exercise. My home is clean, calm, and set up to make pets feel comfortable and secure!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
Liz was so kind and extremely accommodating for our pup! Our dog, Echo, suffered from some separation anxiety while we were away, and Liz went above and beyond our expectations to help her feel safe and loved. Liz was a great communicator and we highly recommend this sitter if you’re going to Zion NP! Also, her pup Willow is extremely sweet :)
Liz was absolutely wonderful! We had a last minute trip to Zion and really wanted to hike the narrows but be respectful of hotel rules re leaving dogs in the room. However, we recently had someone bring an aggressive dog to our home, which has or may have altered how our big male views other dogs. Not wanting to chance it, Liz agreed to meet us the day before and, of course, everything was fine. The dogs were happy, we were able hike the Narrows without worrying. She sent pictures and was just super. Great communication! She is also conveniently located in town and has a separate room and fenced yard where our pups could be kept if they didn’t get along well. **this was also our first time using Rover. Will use it again!
I was able to book Liz last minute for my very timid/fearful of many things, pup. It went better than I could have asked for! She sent plenty of pics with Phyllis looking happy & warmed up to their household (unusual for her to relax so quickly). I would most definitely use Liz again to safely & lovingly watch my girl. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 122 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 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 Rockville 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 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 UT 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.
