“Highly recommend. Damacia took care of Teddy very well.. Teddy attached to her as a family member. She updated every day with his picture. Thanks Damacia 🥰”
“This was our first time leaving Niko overnight with someone else, and I can confidently say he had a fantastic time! Kendra sent us regular photos and updates throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. We're so grateful to have found her, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!! 🐶❤️”
About: Large fenced in backyard. Daily walks when weather cooperates (often times twice a day). We have a sweet old pup who still loves to play and would love a friend. We have had dogs all our lives and give lots of love. Will send pics daily or more often as desired. Our two boys are very sweet to dogs and are excited for more pups to play with and cuddle. I work from home and get up super early so I have time for walks before work. Work is flexible so I can care for the pup(s) as needed throughout the day. My 8 year old son gets home from school at 3 and would love a pup to play or hang out with. I have a large fenced in backyard and a sweet old pup who still likes to play and would love the company. Our house is large and spacious and we have a nice soft couch where our dog loves to lay. We have dog beds, dog bowls, and leashes in case you need to borrow ours. We offer lots of love and play time. Our two boys (8 and 5) have endless energy for playing with dogs and are very sweet with them. Daily walks (often times twice a day) if weather allows.
“Sheri was awesome with our dog Otis. She was patient and played with him sent tons of pictures of him to ease our minds since it was his first time away. I’m so grateful for the care and affection that was shown to our fur baby. Definitely will reach out if we ever need help again. Thank you so very much.”
“Jessica was our Christmas miracle!!! She was so kind and flexible when our plans were changing. She sent updates everyday with multiple pics without me having to ask first. She was always quick to respond and took great care of Ranjha (she had already read up on his history before we had our meet and greet so she could ask all the right questions!) We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
“Penny had so much fun with Amy and her furry friends during her stay. Amy sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Pennys stay. She’ll be excited to come back soon!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. She was able to accommodate my schedule change on short notice. She sent me several photos and gave my baby lots of snuggles.”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Matt went so out of his way to make our dog comfortable and happy during a really chaotic move. He is the best you can find, and we will a.ways use him — can’t give him enough stars!!”
“Stephanie was great! Our dog felt right at home and she sent us many updates and pictures. She came home happy and tired. We will definitely use Stephanie again!”
“We have used Ronda twice! Both times my dog was extremely well taken care of and spoiled! Really can’t stress enough how grateful for her flexibility and kindness. My dog fell in love with her immediately and I can tell she enjoys the bond. Recommend to anyone looking for someone who will really care for their fur baby.”
“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”
“Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.”
“When we leave our dog, Murphy, with Kristen and Chris, we know he's in excellent hands. Their own pup, Wallace, is a sweetheart, and we're confident Murphy enjoys plenty of playtime and exercise. Murphy can't wait for his next stay with Kristen and Chris!”
“Mich was awesome! Our dog felt welcomed and comfortable during her stay. Mich’s dog, Milo, was a good companion/ host. Great back yard. Mich sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Elizabeth did a great job looking after our beloved Sophie. She sent messages and pictures while we were vacationing for 2 weeks. We never worried about Sophie while we were away. We highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Toby! We appreciated the photos and updates you sent us. The fact that Josh slept with him downstairs when he was hesitant to go up speaks volumes for how much he has been cared for.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rockville on Rover is $36.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 788 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 VA 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.
