“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.”

“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!”


“Molly loves staying with James And Mary and it brings us great peace of mind that she is with them when we travel. I get updates and photos and she always seems like she’s had a wonderful time. She’s actually sad when she gets home that she misses being there and playing with the other pups that they also dogs sit at times.”

“Rodney was great with Kane. It was Kane’s first visit. He sent me pictures of Kane interacting and playing with the other dogs keeping me updated. I will definitely use them again. Bernadette”


“Second time having Felice watch my dog. She is communicative and sends photos throughout the stay. She’s also very knowledgeable about dog behavior, so I’m always comfortable leaving the dog in her capable hands. Thank you, Felice!”

“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 :)”

“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!”

“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”

“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!”

“Best puppy we've ever had. Pepper looked so happy when we picked him up. I could tell he was treated very well, and Mila spent the entire time with him. She sent pictures and texts with updates. She was so kind and gentle with him, he hesitated when we came to pick him up... like he was making a difficult decision. Luckily, he chose us! We will definitely use Mila when we need services again.”

“Terry is a great and professional dog boarder. My dog stayed with him during our 2-week vacation trip. Terry followed the details we left for our pet and kept us informed with daily messages and pictures. Recommended!”

“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”

“We had a great experience with Karen & Patrick! She kept in contact with us throughout the stay and sent pictures, let us know how Ozzy was eating and how he did with the fireworks. Ozzy really enjoyed his time there and their son took to Ozzy right away. Hoping to be able to use them again in the future!”

“Chris was absolutely great to our puppy! It was his first time away from us and he was happy and received lots of attention and love. He went on lots of walks and made new friends!!! I would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”

“Alex was very responsive and the dogs seemed to love staying at his house, running in the yard, and playing with Alex's dog Reese. He also sent a lot of pics which was really appreciated! Alex--thanks again for taking care of the twins!”

“I’m so glad to have found Stephanie’s place! I can tell they are very caring people who took good care of Buttercup. I received texts and pics of my Buttercup everyday which made me feel at ease of how my dog was doing. Definitely will book again in future.”

“Amber and her family took good care of our dog, Bella, for the weekend! She responded promptly to messages and coordinating our meet and greet and pick up/drop off times. She sent pictures during Bella’s stay and it seemed like Bella enjoyed her time!”

“Brittanie and Ryan were wonderful sitters for our dog this weekend! She seemed to have gotten very comfortable in their home pretty quickly and had no issue coexisting with their dogs at all. They sent frequent update pictures and really went above and beyond bringing our dog to our wedding so she could be included in our pictures. Overall great first Rover experience and would happily use them again!”

“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

James and Mary were wonderful! They took great care of our two pups and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay! Our dogs usually come home a bit stressed when we have used other boarding places, but after picking our boys up, they were super happy and relaxed! We look forward to using them again!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,941 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.
