I would highly recommend Cassandre for watching your pet. She kept in good contact with us by sending pictures or txt. Ziggy enjoyed his time. I’ll be using her again!

Dawn went above and beyond for Rocky. She sent photos multiple times per day and always let us know how he was doing via text. And she sent us home with frozen treats for Rocky. He didn't want to come home :)

Knowing that Luna was safe, well cared for, AND happy (she had a huge smile in every picture Paula sent us) gave us peace of mind and we therefore enjoyed our 8 day vacation so much more! Thank you Paula!

Our three dogs had a wonderful time at Radka's and Jim's home. They stayed 3 days and 2 nights. I could tell they were happy and well-loved from the many photos Radka sent us during their stay. We are thrilled with this experience and plan to book with them again next time we have to be out of town.

Nathaniel was a phenomenal caregiver for my big boy, Brock! 🐾❤️ I had to book care for Brock very last minute, and Nathaniel was incredibly compassionate and accommodating to both Brock’s and my needs with such little notice. Brock had a wonderful time and was so graciously cared for. Nathaniel went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos throughout Brock’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my boy was doing great. I’d also like to highlight Nathaniel’s flexibility and his personal schedule, which worked out perfectly for caring for Brock. 10 out of 10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of my boy! 🐶❤️

Ronda was absolutely great! My pup warmed up to her immediately and I could tell by the end of her trip, Ronda was a fave! She took great care of pup and kept me up to date on her walks and behavior. My dog sometimes gets separation anxiety, but ate and enjoyed all her time. She was also super flexible with me! Highly recommend!

About: I've been providing loving and dependable dog boarding care for over years, and caring for dogs has truly become a part of my family life. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where every pup can feel at home while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages from small breeds to giant breeds, energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so we take the time to provide personalized care for each pup. I am also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering oral medications, injections, supplements, and special feeding routines, as directed by pet parents and their veterinarian. I also have experience providing palliative and comfort-focused care for senior dogs or dogs with additional needs. After more than years in the dog boarding world, I still genuinely love what I do and look forward to continuing to provide pups with plenty of love, attention, playtime, comfort, and care while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of our everyday routine. Since I provide care from home, I am able to spend plenty of time with the dogs throughout the day and give them the attention, supervision, and companionship they need. My daily routine includes regular potty breaks, outdoor playtime, feeding according to each dog’s schedule, medication when needed, rest periods, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure each pup has time to settle in, relax, and feel comfortable in their new environment. I keep my schedule flexible because every dog is different. Whether I am caring for an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves to play, or a senior pup who prefers a slower and quieter routine, I adjust my day to meet their individual needs. 🐾 Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My home has a fully enclosed 6-foot vinyl privacy fence, giving our guests a secure outdoor space for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, exercise, and playtime. I also keep fresh, clean water bowls available outside during playtime and outdoor time, so our pups always have easy access to water and can stay hydrated, especially during warmer days. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, supplements, potty routines, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs or restrictions. I supervise interactions and take the time to understand each dog’s personality, behavior, and comfort level. Dogs are separated when needed for meals, rest, safety, or simply when they need their own personal space. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or behavior and communicate with pet parents if I notice anything concerning. With over years of boarding experience, I understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog. I treat every pup with patience, respect, affection, and individualized care, with the goal of making their stay feel safe, comfortable, and as close to home as possible. 🐾

Andreea is a fantastic boarder. My pup Penny did not want to leave, she had so much fun running with her two new friends. Andreea is very attentive and obviously cares deeply for dogs. Communication is fantastic. I look forward to having Penny stay with Andreea, and I know Penny is looking forward to it too!

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

Stephen was fantastic with our pup! He expertly handled her mild separation anxiety with some extra walks and all the love. She had a great time and was almost not ready to leave! He provided great message, photo, and video updates which were greatly appreciated. We would recommend him to any of our friends and family and will 100% use him ourselves in the future!

Myrna is a lifesaver. My sitter canceled on me last minute and Myrna was available within the hour. Ellie usually is pretty shy in new places but she warmed up to Myrna quickly and had a great time.

FAQs for Boarding - Rockville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rockville on Rover is $36.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 800 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockville. About 92% of Rockville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
