“Maria and Fernando took care of Joe for two nights while we were out of town. They did a wonderful job letting us know how Joe was doing. They were responsive and very easy to work with. We’ll definitely use their boarding services again in the future. We had to drag Joe to the car since he didn’t want to leave Maria and Fernando!”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of our dogs Hank and Duke. They both have a lot of energy and Ivan made sure they got the exercise they needed on a daily basis. Ivan was kind enough to send pictures of the dogs to us on a daily basis while we were away. They always looked happy and entertained. We can't thank Ivan enough for the care and attention he showed our dogs. We would definitely use him again.”
“Our Ruby girl was well taken care of by Sophia. Seemed like she made a few new furry friends as well. All she did was sleep for a full day when she came home so we know she had lots of play and exercise. Thank you, Sophia!”
“Another great stay with Jenny! My husband and I truly can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind on vacation, knowing that our baby is well taken care of. He absolutely loves staying with Jenny and playing with Marley!”
“We have had our two dogs Monty and Milo stay with Sasha on two occasions. Both occasions were over two weeks at a time. There are no words for us to say how happy our dogs seem to be when they are boarding with her and her family. I would recommend her and I'm sure the 'Kids' would too. (Kid's are what Sasha calls our dogs)”
“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.”
“Adva and her family made a wonderful home for Stitch! She was very communicative and responsive. And it’s obvious how much love she and all of her family have for dogs. Stitch will definitely be back!”
“Marylee and her husband were so amazing with our Iris. They indulged her with healthy foods when she was too fussy to eat her own food, give her lots of cuddles and love, and let her run off her excess energy in their huge fenced-in yard. They also sent me frequent pictures and updates. They are loving and patient and I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again, I hope!”
“As a first time Rover user, I wasn't sure what to expect. Yi went over and above to make our "anxious" Cavapoo feel right at home. Yi alayed my fears with numerous photos and videos each day. She was also very good at keeping the lines of communication open during our pup's stay with her. I will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you, Yi, for a job well done!”
“Diana and Felipe were great! The boys were perfectly happy when I picked them up. Frequent pictures and video throughout the stay helped put me at ease. They go walking often, get to play/socialize with other pups. Diana and Felipe were super flexible with the schedule, have a doggie safe y appropriate home and just warm cold that you can tell love dogs.”
“Maria was professional, communicative, and very nice. She took amazing care of Bella and sent pictures throughout her entire stay. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone who is looking for loving care for their pup.”
“We are returning to Ming and his team for the 3rd time. These guys are awesome and take amazing care of our pup. We trust them with our baby. Zoi has so much fun there. See you soon guys !!”
“I could tell Butters & Stanley very much enjoyed their stay with Robin & Michael right when I picked them up! I am always anxious when leaving the pups, but Robin & Michael made feel at ease. They are fantastic and we will definitely be back! Thanks for allowing them a great time!”
“Our 3 1/2 year old husky, Skye, had a great first stay with Carrie and her family. He was welcomed so warmly to the family and made himself right at home. He came home calm, happy and tired - all signs of time well spent! And Fozzie is a wonderful playmate and sweet boy!! Overall, a great experience for our family.”
“Mio had a great time staying with another family instead of being boarded! They were great with communication, including photos and videos of our boy while we were away for the weekend. Thanks again for taking care of him like he was yours!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“My dog means world to me & I Strongly recommend Marlin G. , she absolutely gave me peace of mind… she constantly updated me & making sure he is all good & loved. I give Marlin 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks alot 🙏🥰🙏”
“We left our precious Ruby with Pam and her family for two weeks and it was the best choice we could have made. Ruby was just finishing her first heat and scheduled to be spayed after we returned from our vacation, and having an unspayed dog was no problem for Pam. She send pics and videos while we were away so we could see our beloved pup. Ruby was so happy to play with her Chihuahua. She does not take in a bunch of dogs at once, which works out perfectly for Ruby, since she seems to cling to one dog at a time when she plays. Pam took great care of Ruby - maybe too great, as Ruby seemed to want to stay with her new best friend when I came to pick her up :-). It was a pleasure working with Pam and most of all a relief knowing that Ruby was in great hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sandy Spring is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Spring
Carrie. John, and their girls (and Fozzie of course!) are simply the best “Rover Family” one could have. We are so fortunate to have them as our dog sitter, and they take such loving care of Finnegan while we are out of town. Finnegan truly has a lot of fun during his visits and can’t wait to go back!
Josh & Andres are amazing! We left our dog with them while we were out of the country for over a week — the longest we've ever left him with a sitter — and they took excellent care of him the entire time. They were incredibly accommodating and professional throughout. We're repeat clients and will keep booking with them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for responsible, accommodating, and professional dog sitters.
I couldnt have asked for a better sitter than Eric! He took wonderful care of my dog on short notice, sent multiple adorable photo updates, and followed all feeding and walking instructions to the letter. My puppy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
Our 1-year-old pup Boomer had an amazing stay with Lauren. She kept him happy, active, and well cared for the entire time. He got to enjoy lick mats, a 2-mile walk, several play sessions, and lots of playtime with other pups which was perfect for burning off his energy. He does have a bit of separation anxiety and I was nervous about his first Rover stay, but it is clear he was comfortable, entertained, and treated like one of her own. She sent daily updates with lots of pics and was very responsive. I really appreciated the attention and care Lauren gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!
Melissa was a wonderful host for our dog over the long weekend! The photos and updates Melissa provided were great to let us know our dog was getting lots of walks and snuggles (her two favorite things). Melissa was very flexible about coordinating a drop off and pick up time.
It was our first time leaving our dear fur baby behind for a family overseas trip. It was nerve-wrecking not knowing what to do. We found Rover app and through that a very caring, dedicated sitter, Nuria. We received daily pictures and updates, which instantly put us at ease. Nuria even knitted a beautiful sweater for our beloved. We will definitely use her service again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandy Spring on Rover is $57 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 8,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sandy Spring. 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 Sandy Spring 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 Sandy Spring 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 Sandy Spring 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 Sandy Spring.
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 Sandy Spring 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.
