“Curtis and Lindsay were great, sharing pictures and communicating the whole time we were away. Our pup appeared content, happy and tired out when we brought her home. Would definitely recommend!”
“James and Mary were amazing with Scooter! They sent an update with photos throughout his stay! Scooter enjoys human attention and they showed genuine care. He also made a lot of dog friends. We will definitely be taking Scooter to Mary and James again and highly recommend them to others looking for a good place to leave their furry family member.”
“Rodney and Marissa were awesome with Bella, she was nervous, but they made her feel right at home. She had a good time with them meeting new friends and was able to be her playful self! Thanks so much guys”
“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!!!!”
“Once again, thank you so much, Felice. You and your family were so sweet with Maple while I was overseas. It was a piece of mind for us knowing that she was also having fun and was well taken cared.”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“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.”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog, Frankie, while we were away! He was loved on, spoiled and well cared for and I know he enjoyed his stay during HIS little vacation! Theresa was amazing at communicating and sending photos all weekend which really helped put me at ease. We are looking forward to Frankie’s next vacation at Theresa’s!”
“Niko had a great night with Karen and her family! He was a little anxious to start, but Karen took him on a walk right away to calm his nerves which made a huge difference. She sent a few updates and pictures throughout the evening. When we picked up Niko, he was SO calm compared to when we pick him up from a kennel. That is proof in itself that Niko had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be boarding with Karen and her family again as long as they’ll have Niko!”
“Chris did an excellent job with my little Moon! She was so accommodating and responsive to all his needs and whims! Chris will be the first person I look for if I ever need a sitter for my dog again😊”
“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”
“We are so grateful for the care that Sophia provided to dobby during his stay. She was extremely thoughtful with updates providing pictures every day. I could tell Dobby was enjoying his time with Sophia and the other dogs. We recently switched foods for dobby and Sophia had no issues with the additional requirements for the food preparation. Dobby had plenty of time outside as well as quality time with Sophia. She was also very flexible when we needed to extend the stay for an additional day. I am so happy we decided to book with Sophia and will absolutely book again!”
“Luna always has the best time when staying with Lora! There is plenty of room for her to play and a warm place for her to sleep. Lora keeps us up to date with photos and videos throughout the stay.”
“Kelly was a joy to work with and she made us feel very comfortable to leave our sweet dog with her. She was lovely and sent constant photo updates. I will definitely leave Mila with her in the future!”
“Terry was absolutely wonderful with my cat Gerald! He was extremely responsive and sent pictures multiple throughout the day. I knew Gerald was being well taken care of which is a great feeling when you're away from a pet, especially when your cat is a bit older like mine. I would highly recommend him and will use him again next time I am on a trip!”
“This was a last minute booking for my big boy Snow. Christa was very helpful answering my questions and flexible but honest regarding availability which was greatly appreciated since at the time of the booking the planning for my work related trip wasn’t final. She kept me informed about his status all week and made me feel comfortable while being away since he wasn’t staying not just at a pet sitter house but at a welcoming home with lots of love.”
“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!”

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.
