Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“Sharmily was wonderful with my kittens. She didn't bat an eye about taking on all three of them for two weeks, even though they were only 4 months old and not fully socialized after having been born "in the wild." The environment at Sharmily's home was great - there were places for the kittens to hide out but not places for them to get lost. Sharmily was great about sending pictures and videos, and I could see that the kittens were comfortable, playing together, and making new friends. : ) They grew and thrived in Sharmily's care.”
“Aaron and Paweena are wonderful! They have a great setup and a large yard, and Macho loved spending time with them. I’d happily book with them again!”
“Dominique took good care of my dog, Bella. She sent me pictures and notes while we were away. Bella seemed very much at ease when I picked her up. I would recommend Dominique.”
“Charnetta and her family were amazing! They made me feel very comfortable for my first time using the service. It is clear that they are genuine fur baby lovers! My Vader felt right at home as soon as I dropped him off! And I received daily updates with pictures of him smiling. We will definitely be visiting again. 🖤”
“Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!”
“Always a good time for Tucker in Amani’s care. It is great to see Tucker surrounded by dogs in his size range and whose temperaments seem to match. Tucker was immediately at ease when he realized where he was being dropped off. Peace of mind is always at the top of the list. Amani has always been receptive to our requests and consistent in her communication. If she is available… we know where our dog will be! 💜”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
Gabby was such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of our pup and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our fur daughter came home happy, relaxed, and well-rested, which says everything! It was clear she was in great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Ana did a wonderful job with our dog Fin! She provided thoughtful updates and highlighted playtime with the other dogs. He sometimes has trouble at mealtimes when we are away and she did a great job getting him to eat. He came home a happy and tired pup, a great sign!
Danielle has been our go-to for Oakley for years now. Everytime we leave Oakley with her and Ernie he has the absolute best time! Danielle sends a tons of photos and gives clear updates on Oakley's adventures while we are away. Whenever possible we will continue to ask her to watch our pup!
Aaron and Paweena were absolutely amazing! For our first experience with Rover, we couldn't have asked for better sitters for our Ruby. They updated us every day with pictures and videos and were very caring for our pup! We would definitely use them again in the future! Your dog will be in great hands with them!
Pascaline is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our 15 year old with health issues and 8 year old active lab in her care. Her communication is impeccable and she made sure to engage both dogs with enrichment that was appropriate for their temperaments and needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Takoma Park is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 7,970 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Takoma Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Takoma Park home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
