About: I have grown up with dogs and now I have 3 of my own! I have a pug, and 2 basset hounds. I'm experienced in all size dogs. (I previously had 2 english mastiffs that crossed the rainbow bridge) I also have chickens and ducks. I worked at a retirement community for years.. so I'm understanding and kind towards our wiser elders who made need help with their furbabies. I'm a homemaker so I'm almost always available for your pet care needs. I'm available to sit and play with them to your hearts comfort. All 3 of my dogs are inside dogs who sleep in bed with me. 🤣 Furbabies are like children to me. I truly believe they have souls and they deserve all the love in the world.
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
“Antavia was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby! Apollo definitely enjoyed himself and the environment he experienced! Definitely will use her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Gio and Vanessa to care for our fur baby Turner and his brother. They truly met and exceeded our expectations in caring for and loving them as if they were part of their family. The daily video, photo, and text updates put our minds at ease, letting us know our pups were happy and being well taken care of. Thank you Gio and Vanessa for everything!”
“Once again we didn't hesitate to ask Stephanie to look after our little guy again while we went away. She does a great job at taking care of him and always gives us daily updates and pictures on how hes doing. We can tell that he loves staying with Stephanie and her family and it shows when he is so happy to see her when we drop him off. I recommend Stephanie to all of my friends incase they ever need someone to look after their pets.”
“La Tasha was wonderful with our Griffin pup. She went above and beyond to keep us updated on his stay via texts and videos. She was very easy to schedule with and has a great love for dogs. Griffin was happy and exhausted at pick up time ;)”
“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Where do I start…the first meet Tanita was very welcoming answered all my questions and Cane and Cody was comfortable she made my decision very easy. When I dropped the babies off Terrance her husband was the same as Tanita welcoming and excited to receive the boys. They sent pictures/videos and I’m just happy that I found these two.. My babies looked happy and was well taken care of. If you need a dog sitter.. Tanita and Terrance is IT hands down. I’m blessed I found them.”
“Rena was amazing! My goldendoodle, Teddy, loved her right from the meet and greet. She sent updates with photos/videos everyday and Teddy looked so happy. He was very well taken care of. He was so spoiled from the daily doggie massages. LOL. I would highly recommend Rena and will definitely book her again.”
“Our first time using Rover, we traveled to the D.C area in our RV and needed someone to watch our fur baby overnight while we toured the area. I contacted Elissa about month prior and she was very responsive. We did a meet & greet the day before the stay and our boy went right up to her and was very relaxed, he can be a bit particular about people. Elissa made us feel at ease. During his stay she sent us pictures and we couldn't of been more please. We sincerely appreciate her and she did a great job with our instructions. If anyone needs their dogs watched do not hesitate to contact her, we highly recommend her services!!”
“We couldn't be happier with Ms. Sabrina's care for our two pampered pups! She went above and beyond, providing thoughtful and attentive care. We received regular updates and photos, which truly put us at ease. It was a huge relief knowing our older dog's medication schedule was perfectly maintained each day. And, of course, the ample hugs and cuddles she provided show her genuine love for animals. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Sabrina for any dog owners seeking exceptional care.”
“Denise and her family are our #1 family to go to. Can’t tell you how many times we have used them- they are certainly our dogs’ second family. They are comfortable there and miss them when they leave (our Phyllis lays by our garage door a little depressed for a few days when she has to leave them) it’s clear how much this family cares and loves our 2 fur babies. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Tamara accepted my booking on relatively short notice and she provided daily updates and photos, which is always appreciated. I could tell my dog was comfortable and in caring hands. I highly recommend Tamara!”
“Alicia took great care of Blossom. Blossom had a great time over the holiday playing with the kids. I appreciate that Alicia sent pictures and videos every day. I appreciated the family environment for Blossom. I would recommend Alicia she is very good with puppies. I know Blossom can be a handful at times, but Alicia handles her with great care. Blossom was a part of the family while she was there. Thank you so much!”
“Payton and Graham were wonderful hosts for our dog, Blue. He was obviously well taken care of and happy during his time with them. They communicated throughout and sent pictures and videos to keep us informed. They have a good space inside and outside for dogs to roam and play. We will definitely use their services again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunderland is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $48 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,747 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 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.
95% of sitters in Sunderland 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 Sunderland home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
