We are so grateful our dog Emmy has a loving home to stay at while we are on vacation. Sophia is very reliable and responds quickly to questions. We love receiving all the pictures showing Emmy on walks and having fun in the fenced backyard. We plan to use Sophia for future trips. Thank you!

Lora is nothing short than amazing with dogs! We were so nervous about trying a new dog sitter, but you can tell she loves dogs. She treats every dog she has as one of her own. We never had to worry about our furry kids, and she updated us constantly. We loved the amount of updates. She was so flexible and worked with us on drop off and pick up. Definitely plan on using her again!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.

Priscilla did a fantastic job watching my senior dog. I had been pretty anxious, as apart from being older, my dog had developed cataracts and lost almost all vision. I knew he couldn't be watched by just anyone, and I wanted to make sure he was both safe and happy while I was away. Priscilla put me at ease from her first message, and indeed, the meet and greet, drop off, communication, and pick up all went perfectly. I'm probably going to plan future travel around when she has availability on her calendar! Thanks again so much Priscilla.

Marylee was absolutely wonderful from the first day I met her to discuss watching my dog Molly. I appreciated how thorough she was with her advance questions about Molly and the opportunity to meet with her first, and really appreciated the way she kept me posted on Molly's day along with the photos she sent. She and her husband Alan's love of dogs shines through!

I can't say enough good things about Esther and Yi. They were communicative and took great care of my pup Tilda. I received great photos of her playing with their pups and relaxing around the house. I would definitely have Tilda stay with Esther and Yi again if schedules permit.

I was so hesitant about booking but I had a good feeling about Carla and her reviews were exceptional! Carla is Wonderful! She took pictures and kept me updated with the day’s activities and also sent the cutest pictures during his entire stay!! It was very comforting. She is now Music’s “Auntie Carla” and we will definitely book again if she would have him. Thank you Carla❤️

Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!

About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.

Great experience with Christa, we were able to drop off Mochi and pick her up without any worries. She also gave us progress pics and updates on how Mochi was doing. Christa also was very kind about us picking her up at night even though we were running behind.

Christina was really easy to work with. She communicated efficiently and was very flexible! Her pups were charming and sweet and seemed to adapt well to our pup who can play aggressively! Our pup came home happy and exhausted, which is all you can ask for! :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sykesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 6,135 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sykesville. About 91% of Sykesville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
