“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Kimberly took care of our two pups for a full week, and we were really satisfied with her services. Kimberly welcomed me to her home to see where the dogs would be staying and see her outdoor space. She has a lovely, big outdoor area for the dogs to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Our dogs had a bedroom with a gate to themselves, separate from any of the other dogs staying, with a bed, blankets, and even a TV! The pups split their time between their room and the back yard. Kimberly sent us lots of photos and videos each day we were away, and was super responsive in all communication. She even offered pick-up and drop-off service, which was super helpful for our travel schedule.”
“Miss Bougiee had a wonderful time with Roxsand! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of how well my pup was doing. Miss Bougiee got along well with the other dogs. Roxsand even gave Miss Bougiee a Chrismas Gift, she was kind and thoughtful and I highly recommend!”
“Eli was amazing! He helped us out with a very last-minute sitting request, and we’re so grateful. He was incredibly kind and caring with our dog, proactively communicated throughout the stay, and sent us lots of photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend Eli and would absolutely book with him again!”
“Wonderful time for my boy! He really enjoyed his self she made him feel right at home, and highly recommend! Great communication and house and yard is lovely!!!”
“Rena took excellent care of my fur baby. I could tell from the many updates and photos he had a wonderful time during his boarding with her. I will definitely reach out to Rena in the very near future for her services.”
“Julia and her family were AMAZING! They took care of my dog for 6 days and sent many updates and pics while I was away on vacation. I would not hesitate to book with her again! They will love your pet like their own. 5 stars all around.”
“Could not recommend Emmanuel enough! He and his family were absolutely incredible with our special needs girl who is anything but low maintenance. He provided daily updates, pictures, and the very best care possible. I have no doubt Taffy had a wonderful stay! HUGE thank you to Emmanuel for the peace of mind during our trip!”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Chelle was very attentive to Joey and made sure that he felt loved as well as at home. She communicated with us each day even twice a day! I am so glad that I decided to use this service for my Joey!!!! Thank you Chelle, I so appreciate you!!!”
“Sereniti was great! She provided updates throughout my dog’s stay with her, and even took care when my dog became sick and had digestive issues. She even went out of her way to allow us to pick my dog up late at night to be able to bring her home. Thank you so much!”
“I boarded my dog Hiro with her and he was super happy to stay with them and i got soooo many pictures while i was away! Which i liked because i was missing him the whole time. We are already arranging an another stay with her. Thank you for taking such a good care for our Hiro💕”
“Lilian was very professional and courteous with me and my puppy as it was her first time away! She was also as nurturing and loving as I would have been which made me feel at ease. I loved all of the regular updates and pics. The whole petsitting process a 5 star experience for sure! Highly recommend to any pet parent!!”
“Jordyn took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were away. She sent frequent updates with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog has mobility challenges and needs a little extra help, and Jordyn was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring. It was obvious she treated her with kindness and affection. Our favorite update was that she was “cuddling Mr. Wolf!” When we picked her up, she came home happy, calm, and relaxed, which is the best indication of the care she received. We would absolutely trust Jordyn with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, dependable sitter.”
“Overall the experience was great. This was my wife’s and I first time traveling without Hazel. We were a bit skeptical at first but from the moment we dropped her off we knew she was in good hands. Can’t complain, communication was great, took lots of photos and gave us constant updates. Definitely recommend anyone who has to leave their fur babies (for whatever reason) to pick them.”
“Jenny takes great care to treat your pet like family and is always our number one choice to watch our energetic lab, Junie, when we go out of town. Thanks again Jenny!”
“Mrs. Andrea always rolls out the red carpet for my babies and this time was no different. She tries them no different than her baby. I will continue to book her when I need a sitter.”
“This family is such a blessing! My Mocha puppy always enjoys her stays. I’m always at ease with knowing my baby is well cared for and loved! You will not be disappointed!!!”
“Julie is an AWESOME sitter! Our dog, Strudel, is not used to staying with sitters and can get anxious when away from us. Julie did an awesome job keeping an eye on her anxiety and updating us while we were away. You could tell Strudel was very happy with Julie and sad to see her go at the end of her stay!”
About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”. She has loved me through so many stages of life and helped me overcome a lot. I cherish her presence and company like no other. I would love to care for your baby as if they were my own while you are in need of time away. I work a 9-5. I will care for your pet in the morning before I leave and as soon as I return home. Then take them to the park to have a fun time and socialize. I live in a single family home. I will ensure your baby is cared for and receiving their exercise. For example, walks, activities outside, or even allowing them to frolic outside.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Thrift is $52

Aaron and Tia were absolutely amazing! They took such great care of SenSi while my family and I were away on our trip. They were patient, attentive, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really stood out to me was that they even took the time to learn his Japanese commands so they could communicate with him the way he’s used to! That meant so much to me and showed how dedicated they were to making him feel at home. It gave me peace of mind knowing SenSi was in such good hands. I truly appreciate them both and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!
Kim is the best in the business! I set a high bar for caring for my babies and Kim always meet that standard. She gives me daily updates that are accompanied by photos. In the photos, my babies always look happy. Her home environment is what my babies are accustomed to because they do not spend time in kennels or with other fur babies. My family can now vacation with ease. Thanks Kim for being available and caring:) LaJuan
Could not be more thankful for meeka and her husband taking such great care of our Bentley. We adopted him at two and hadn’t seen him socialize super often with dogs and she handled it amazingly. Bentley now has two friends who he played with all weekend long. Meeka also took our last minute request after someone cancelled on us day before our trip. If you are looking for a sitter who is professional, caring and will give love to your pup, she is the one!
Kristal was amazing when we needed a last minute sitter for Labor Day weekend! She was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable leaving our senior dog in her care. She proactively provided updates while we were gone and was flexible when we were running a little late with pickup. Most importantly, our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Kristal again!
Aiana took amazing care of my pup! She stayed in touch the whole time I was away, sending frequent photos and updates that made it easy to relax on vacation. MJ clearly loved spending time with her. I’d absolutely recommend Aiana for anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.
Sereniti was great! She provided updates throughout my dog’s stay with her, and even took care when my dog became sick and had digestive issues. She even went out of her way to allow us to pick my dog up late at night to be able to bring her home. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Thrift is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $72 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,866 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thrift. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Thrift 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 Thrift 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 Thrift.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thrift. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Thrift 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
