“My active pug had a great stay with Colleen and family. I knew he was in great hands and they kept in touch with pics of Vinny and their lab Lily. Lucky to have found them!”
“Chad and Regina are the best dog sitters I've ever had! They always take amazing care of my pup, and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Kamille was amazing with Luna! She gave her a lot of attention, play time and love. Her communication was impeccable and everything we needed to be comfortable! We got lots of videos and fotos of Luna through out her stay and a personalized foto and message from her when we picked her up. Luna came back very happy, we can tell she was very well taken care of. Kamille took care of her as if she was her own! We would definitely leave Luna with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Sonia was fantastic with Murray and was extremely warm and understanding throughout his stay. She also sent the best dog-sitting pictures of anyone we've booked with and it shows how much she cares.”
“Alejandro took such great care of our old girl. We knew it was a perfect match the moment we walked in for the meet and greet. Our dog was so excited to meet Alejandro and his partner and got to exploring and cuddling immediately. She had no qualms about being dropped off for her staycation (it seemed like she couldn’t wait for us to leave). When we picked her up, it was clear that she missed her time with Alejandro.”
“Based on the photos of her sprawled out and lounging around their home, our 12-year-old pup was very comfortable in Austin & Majid's care! They were kind, professional, and communicative throughout our time away.”
“Such a great experience and my dog felt right at home! A couple days before the booking we had an opportunity to arrange a play date with Cal and Kelly’s two dogs to help Cooper acclimate to his new surroundings and interact with his new friends. Just seeing how well Cal worked with my dog and readily answered all of our questions made me realize my was dog was going to be in good hands. Each day we received pictures and videos of Cooper and it was apparent he was treated by Cal and Kelly like he was their own. Overall, it was a terrific experience and I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Twy had a great stay with them! I love that she gets to have a big backyard, several other animals to play with and plenty of walks. Never a dull moment for her - a true vacation for her. They are great with communication and photos/videos keeping us posted on how her stay is going. Will absolutely be asking them to keep Twy again soon.”
“I was nervous about leaving Chilson since we only adopted him 3 months ago and he’s only just begun to feel at home with us. Haydenn had his heart when they first met and Chilson warmed right up! Was happy and content when I picked him up and I hope to ask Haydenn to watch him again next time we’re in DC.”
“I've booked with Julia a few times now and always have a great experience. She spends lots of time with my dog and sends lots of photos. She has multiple spaces so she can group dogs by energy level and individualize your dogs experience. I love that my dog gets to socialize with another chihuahua, without being overwhelmed by higher energy dogs. And she has a great yard for the dogs to sniff around.”
“This was my first time boarding and being away from my pup for an extended period, so I was a bit nervous at first. Nicole helped put my mind at ease, and I came back to a happy, well cared for pup. Very grateful!”
“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”
“Tabatha went above and beyond taking care of my dog Lila over the weekend. She took care to get to know her, and to understand all her quirks and preferences both before and during the booking, and went out of her way to make Lila feel comfortable in her home. She was very communicative throughout the booking, and sent plenty of pictures and videos. Highly recommend Tabatha for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friend!”
“Christian was amazing! Accepted my sitting request with pretty short notice after I found out my roommate wouldn’t be able to watch my dog. She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
“Erin took wonderful care of my dog while I was on vacation! She provided updates and followed all care instructions. Will certainly be using her services again.”
“Jeff was great with Olive. They made sure she was well taken care of and loved. Snuggles, play time in the yard and They even took her to the dog beach! I will definitely use them again! Thanks for making us feel comfortable”
“Drea was great! They took a stellar care of my dog, Rudy, and was prompt in responding to questions. They sent lots of pictures and gave me an update when I arrived for pick up! 10/10 would book with Drea again!”

Absolutely amazing dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our dog for 15 days and truly went above and beyond. He was completely spoiled with long walks, showers, treats, and so much love and attention. We received regular photo updates, and it was obvious from every picture how happy and relaxed he was. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommended.
Ana took wonderful care of our dog Olive during our recent trip! Olive particularly appreciated her time in Ana’s fenced backyard and we greatly appreciated the updates and photos that Ana regularly provided as well as her willingness to accept our booking request with short notice.
I was incredibly hesitant to leave my dog, Bruno, over the 4th of July weekend because he has severe anxiety around fireworks. However, Chris completely put my mind at ease. His communication was fantastic from start to finish.Even when my phone broke during the trip and disrupted my ability to check in, Chris was incredibly understanding and kept sending great picture updates.Bruno seemed to genuinely enjoy his time with Chris, which is the biggest relief. Will definitely book with Chris again!
Our dog Suki had a wonderful first stay with Rebecca. She was very generous with her time ahead of his visit and agreed to meet up twice so he could get used to her. She sent regular pictures and updates during our trip, took him on trail walks, and asked thoughtful questions about his diet. We would definitely book with her again!

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 7,995 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Takoma Park. 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 Takoma Park 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 Takoma Park 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 Takoma Park 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 Takoma Park.
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 Takoma Park 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.
