“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“Jim and Mary took excellent care of Milo as usual! He’s a very anxious dog but does very well in their care! They sent lots of pictures so I could see how he was doing. I didn’t worry about him at all while I was away!”
“From the beginning communication has been top tier. At drop off the warm we felt leaving our fur baby with Rodney put us at such great peace. With every update it left a smile on our faces. We have found what we so desperately needed. We will forever use them, and recommend them to others. I need 10 stars rather than 5 to adequately rate our experience. They have exceeded our expectations.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter with our pups!!!! Daily updates and pictures!!! Was wonderful in making us feel like our babies were in good hands!!!!”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Felice & her husband are fantastic!! They were soooo accommodating with our crazy schedule and all it's changes. Jeff was very happy in their home- he had free range to roam as he pleased and made lots of new furry friends. We had peace of mind knowing Jeff was in great hands being spoiled rotten while we were away and truly appreciated all their patience with our scheduling changes and crazy early drop off times. A wonderful experience all around!!!”
“Lingli was so kind and attentive to our dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures that made us at ease being away from our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town :)”
“Theresa was great with our puppy. Attention to details and great communication. She always kept us posted with messages and photos. Lulu loved her since the minute they met. Lulu seemed very happy when we picked her and even made new furry friends! I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Samantha was great! I went on a 8 day trip and she made sure to give me daily updates about my dog and how he was doing and even gave him a toy he was always playing with. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight got delayed and Chase had to stay an extra night. Chase loves going over there and will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much 😊”
“Karen was a delight from our first meet and greet throughout the process. We were completely confident in her ability to care for our large dog. She was attentive and thoughtful in asking questions regarding his care. We appreciated all the photos and communication while he was at her home. She gave him tons of attention from walks to belly rubs and snuggles. We would recommend her without reservation and look forward to booking with her again!”

You can tell that Lora really loves dogs! Finley came home a happy guy and he’ll definitely be visiting Lora’s again.”

Sophia really understands dogs and even worked on Emmy’s training. Emmy came home even better behaved! We loved the daily pictures while on vacation.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sykesville on Rover is $43.29 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 5,980 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.
93% 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.
