“Kelly and Maurice make Zoey feel like part of their family. We received videos and pictures multiple times throughout the day during our travel which really put us at ease. We can’t wait to use Kelly and Maurice during our next vacation.”
“Lori was amazing! Plenty of communication while Jake was there! Multiple pictures and videos daily! Jake was well cared for and got plenty of exercise! Will definitely be booking Jake with Lori for all our future travel!”
“We called Bianca a few hours if that prior to a spontaneous trip. She graciously accepted and took care of our dog wonderfully. Her daughter walked our dog and was great too! We will be contacting Bianca for any future trips! Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services 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.”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“Our dog loves staying with Vince and Lynette while we’re away! They are incredibly caring, give her lots of love and attention, and always make sure we receive pictures all throughout the stay. Their communication is greatly appreciated, we’ll definitely continue to rely on them in the future.”
“Aleah was great with our senior pup. She sent photos and communicated wonderfully. The house is clean and dogs are super friendly! We will be booking again! Thanks again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Mady is always a joy to work with! Kiko gets so excited to go over to her house and play with Bandit which is a testament to Mady’s care and attention! Kiko can’t wait to go back!”
“This was a first sitting with Monica but won’t be the last. She sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated and my pup came out tail wagging and happy and that’s what it’s all about. We will certainly see her again soon!”
“Shuling was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I have just moved to the area and needed to find a new dog sitter for my small senior guy quickly as my work requires monthly travel. It was easy to connect with her on the app, and she was very gracious/flexible in setting up a time for a brief meet and greet. I received twice daily photo logs during his stay, and she was so responsive any time I asked a question or checked in. I am so grateful to have found a local dog sitter, and to find someone who works with small dogs is such a great match for my guy. I look forward to booking again next month!”
“We had a great experience with Jackalyn our dog sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Sasha’s well-being. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Sasha came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine affection shown to her. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Jackalyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter”
“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! 🫶🏾”
“Lilian and her husband did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy for 11 days! They treated Dakota like he was there pup. I would definitely recommend trusting your fur babies with them.”
“Finding Vanessa and Gio was a godsend. We got our fur baby a month before expected and had travel plans we could not change. We were very nervous leaving him after only 10 days with us; but, they put all fear to rest with daily updates, pics, & videos. They followed his schedule and helped with potty and crate training. We can tell he felt safe, cared for, and loved. We’d recommend Vanessa and Gio without hesitation.”
“I would leave 6 - Stars if I could. My fur baby was well taken care of. Donna and her husband were excellent hosts. Their love for pets was very obvious. I truly hope I have the opportunity to board my baby with them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunderland
Bianca was very accommodating of our changing schedule, due to the weather, and did a great job calming down two dogs that don’t stay outside of their home. Before I even left her house our Chihuahua seemed comfortable with Bianca holding her. She is typically nervous around strangers and takes time to warm up to them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
