“Bianca was awesome with Harley. He stayed with her for a last minute trip. This was his first time boarding so she was gret with all of my ckncerbs and kept me post in how he was doing.”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“I honestly think my puppy thinks this is her other family :-D. She loves Lynette & Vincent! I definitely appreciate never having to worry about her when I’m away!”
“We are so grateful to have someone take such loving care of our dog. Liz sent us pictures and updates often. After arriving home Nola was calm and happy. We will definitely be asking Liz to watch Nola again :)”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”

“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”
“OMG!! Donna is the best sitter! She really treated my Lola as her very own. Donna and her husband were great! I was so worried about leaving my dog with a sitter, and Donna made me feel extra comfy by keeping me constantly updated with photos and videos of how my dog was doing while away. The home was very clean , and her pets really are a plus, and made Lola feel good as well , as she had a ball playing with them. I will be using Donna again very soon. And she is highly recommended if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again Donna!?”
“Ms. Sabrina was fantastic!! We were looking for someone to look after our dog on a last minute’s notice and she sweetly took Artemis in. The photos that we received of our dog throughout her her stay were so sweet. If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog I would highly suggest picking Ms. Sabrina. She’s very nice, loves dogs and takes such great care of them. I would rebook again in the future 100%”
“Dog whisperers! Vanessa & Giovanni are platinum level pet sitters! I read the incredible reviews and am pleased to say “believe the hype!” My three year old pup, Kingston, had an excellent stay for over a week! It was his first time with them and I was very nervous about a new sitter when I was headed out of the country. Minutes after arrival, I was at ease and Kingston was relaxed and curious. I could see my dog would be well cared for by intelligent, good, and thoughtful people. My detailed instructions were followed and they went beyond to ensure my pup was comfortable and felt welcomed. I received daily updates, pictures, and a very adorable video. They are absolutely worth the booking!! I’d add more stars if I could. I will be a repeat client!”
“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
“If your fur baby is use to being spoiled rotten & loved on constantly.....Crystal is the paw-fect sitter for you!! 🐾 ❤️ She's kind, involved, keeps you updated daily on your baby's progress during the day & you get random photos of your baby walking, playing, etc. My CoCo loves her lots & so do we!!! ❤️”
“Perfect sitter for our furbaby! She took special care of Him! You can tell she really loves dogs. Her attention to detail especially towards our senior dog was greatly appreciated. He felt like it was his home away from home, evidenced by the way he did not want to leave lol. We will indeed be a repeat customer and would highly recommend Monica for your furbaby as well.”
“Shuling was a fantastic and attentive sitter to our dog while we were out of town. We got regular updates about his care with photos and videos, and she made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“LaTasha was amazing with our puppy! We received photos and videos daily, which we needed with this being our first boarding experience away from our little baby. Our cocoa came back looking and smelling amazing! We will definitely use LaTasha for future needs! 🫶🏾”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sunderland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,718 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunderland. 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.
96% of Sunderland 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 Sunderland 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 Sunderland 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 Sunderland.
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 Sunderland 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.
