“Diana was warm and kind even before I made the booking—she explained everything clearly and her gentle tone made me feel instantly at ease. On the day I dropped Brownie off, she welcomed us into her home, showed me around, and gave Brownie the chance to meet her dog. It was lovely to see how they slowly got to know each other. The environment was clean, calm, and very comfortable, which gave me peace of mind to leave Brownie in her care. While I was away on my trip, Diana sent short updates and photos everyday— just enough to reassure me that Brownie was doing well and enjoying her time. I felt completely at ease thanks to her thoughtful messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your small dog, I highly recommend Diana!”

Andy was easy to work with for our puppy who is not accustomed to being left alone for any amount of time. Gave medication as instructed as well. Shared daily updates to reassure us everything was going well with photos. This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and we are glad to have found Andy. There were a couple other dogs for our puppy to learn to socialize with, which we appreciated.

Romy and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. They provided a peaceful, dog-loving home and gave us complete peace of mind with excellent communication, including updates, daily summaries, pictures, and videos. Romy went above and beyond by purchasing a sweater for our puppy when the weather turned. We are so thankful to have found such a kind and experienced sitter and will definitely use Romy and her family again!

Kyle was FANTASTIC! He has a single family home with a fenced in backyard giving our pup plenty of space to play and roam. He is very responsive and sends a ton of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Our high energy pup came home happy (and ‘popped’) from his stay with Kyle.

Stephanie was great. She took care of my two dogs, Moka and Zoe on a Saturday/Sunday so I could attend a wedding. Moka is around 5, requiring a medication 2x day and Zoe is definitely a senior dog. She sent me photos and they appeared to have had a good time. She was great a communication, and understanding when my flight was delayed and I arrived later than hoped. We'll happily use her again if circumstances allow.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Westgate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westgate is $79 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $114 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 7,818 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westgate. 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 Westgate 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 Westgate 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 Westgate.

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 Westgate. 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 Westgate 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.
