“Cody had a great time! I received multiple pictures a day of him playing outside, getting belly rubs and watching squirrels. Whenever we take another family vacation, James and Mary will be the first contact we make. We know Cody is in good hands.”
“Ashley & Joshua have been wonderful. They are quick to respond, easy to coordinate drop off and pick up, share regular updates with pictures, and are extremely pleasant to work with. My dog, Roo, very much enjoys her time with them. I plan to continue booking with them and unequivocally provide my recommendation.”
“Benny has been to Rodney’s house twice- once for doggy day care and once for boarding. He had a blast there and had tons of fun romping around with Rodney’s pups. Rodney accommodated a slightly different pickup due to ice and snow, which I greatly appreciated. Rodney also didn’t have a problem wiping off Benny’s paws (he had an allergic reaction to some treats right before he went), and his paws looked better when we picked him up. At other boarding facilities when this has happened (we are constantly fighting his allergies as we learn what he can/can’t eat), he has always come home in worse shape than when we left. Not at Rodney’s house. He received loving care during his stay and it showed! We also got tons of pictures from Benny’s stay. Thanks Rodney!”
“Jenna and her family were wonderful and patient with my nervous girl. She provided lots of updates and put me and my pup at ease. I know my girl had a great time as she came home happy and calm. I would definitely board with Jenna again!”
“Auana was excellent! My puppy was in great hands, she is super responsive and gave me updates throughout my dog’s stay with her. Her willingness to follow my dog’s care plan was extra comforting. Will be booking her again!”
“What a great family and home. Curtis and Lindsay are amazing people who took great care of our two crazy pups. The open communication throughout the booking process, welcoming home, and updates of photos and videos was beyond our expectations. We will definitely use Curtis and Lindsay in the future if they’ll have our two again.”
“Will & Adriele were amazing hosts for our little puppy. They sent photos and videos, were very communicative, and helped us out when our flight was delayed. Will definitely be utilizing their services again!”
“Brittanie & Ryan, along with their girls, took such loving care of our 12 year old dog! They loved him like he was their own, and provided him his usual creature comforts of home. They also provided us daily updates with photos, so we knew he was very well cared for! We will definitely be boarding with them when we travel and can't take our dog with us!”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“Felice and Ken are incredibly nice and sweet. It is always stressful to leave our pets, especially because one of them loves to run away every chance she gets. I felt very safe leaving our dogs with them, we received a ton of pictures which is always nice.They also administered medication to one of the dogs and Felice was very fast replying to any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them every time we need.”
“Mila was so super duper! She is beyond excellent! She cared so greatly for my little yorkie and was dedicated to making him feel at home. Lincoln loved her and she provided plenty of pictures of his happiness. Again, she is a excellent dog sitter!”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Huey took wonderful care of Ziggy. She is great to work with - good communication, daily videos/photos, and you can tell she really loves caring for the animals. Will be booking her again soon!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lydia! She and her family took excellent care of our dog while we were away, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and genuine care for our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dogs!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She has a love for dogs that was immediately obvious by the way she interacted with my dog Maestro. I received frequent updates with heart warming pictures and felt connected the entire time. I would 100% recommend and will be rebooking Samantha for any future needs.”
“Over all satisfied Im looking forward to booking again next month. He appears just fine coming back home he kept me up to date with pictures of him in his care. I was very nervous about using this service for first time but my dog came back unharmed. So I’m at comfort with that. Now it took some reminder to start getting an update about my doggy in that maybe due to dog sitter being busy.”
“Chris is a very attentive person. My fur baby was feeling under the weather when I left for my trip. She provided him with some TLC and he was back to his energetic self.”
“Fantastic time was had by all! Brianna is a warm soul who knows dogs, detailed, and observant! I looked forward to her message updates and pictures of the pups while i was away on a trip.”
“Julijai was amazing with Dakota and I already booked her for the next weekend! Great at communicating but also respecting my time while on vacation. Got lots of pics of my pup and I know she was having a blast!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sykesville
We had such a great experience! He took wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He followed all of our instructions, including their feeding schedules, medications, and our special restrictions for Daizy while she is still recovering from surgery. We really appreciated the updates and knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your dogs with someone else, especially when one requires a little extra attention, but he made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely trust him with our dogs again and highly recommend him!
This was our first time leaving our beloved Cooper with Liz -- and it happened to be for a long stay, during our trip out of the country, for which we needed someone dependable to care for him. We saw the great reviews Liz had, and reached out. She was immediately responsive, offering a meet and greet opportunity so we could all be sure it would be a good fit, and it was! Highly recommend!
We had our rambunctious pups boarded for 5 days with Veronica and family. We will 100% book with them again and I highly recommend them! They communicate very well, send updates and are easy going and patient with them. Definitely a home away from home for our pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sykesville on Rover is $44.4 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 5,989 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sykesville. 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 Sykesville 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 Sykesville 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 Sykesville 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 Sykesville.
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 Sykesville 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.
