“Diana and her family took great care of our puppy while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to messages! We would trust Diana again with Pepper Ann if she is available!”
“Masha is incredible!! She was extremely sweet and loving with my cavapoo. She is also very communicative. We got great pictures each day while away on vacation. I highly recommend her!”
“We’ve been using Nadia’s dog sitting services repeatedly and couldn’t be happier. Our dog is always well cared for, and Nadia goes above and beyond when it comes to communication and accommodating our needs. We’ll continue booking with her and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with Justin and Jeremy. From the moment I met them, I knew my pup was in caring, trustworthy hands. They went above and beyond, sending daily updates and photos which really put me at ease while I was away. My dog looked so comfortable and content in every photo! I couldn’t recommend Justin and Jeremy highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats them like their own, look no further. Thank you for being such a wonderful pet-sitters!”
“Tibby received great care! I am so happy that he was with John and Viona while I was away. I love the photos they sent and had no worries about my precious dog. The home is very dog friendly ( and has a friendly dog too) with a good sized back yard. I will feel comfortable about leaving Tibby in their care again.”
“Aashna and Sidhanth were great! They’re were very responsive and accommodating when I had to adjust the schedule. They sent pictures and updates twice a day. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Cori is always great with my pup Lily! They have basically been my dog's vacation home all summer with how many trips I had to take XD Cori is always quick to respond, sends pictures, and overall is an amazing pet sitter. She already knows I'll be contacting her for any new stays, thanks again!”
“Huey took wonderful care of Ziggy. She is great to work with - good communication, daily videos/photos, and you can tell she really loves caring for the animals. Will be booking her again soon!”
“As always -- nothing but top-notch TLC for Ella when she stays with Alex and Daniel! We couldn't be luckier to be able to rely on them to keep our girl happy, healthy, and loved while we're away.”
“Maria was very nice and patient to Jasper and Angie. They were very happy and well taken care when I picked them up after 5 days. The pictures she sent showed them getting love and having fun. Definitely will use Maria again!”
“Rebecca was wonderful! She was flexible with drop off and pick up. Nikko was excited to see her, which made me even more comfortable with leaving. He was well cared for and happy. That is what is most important. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Our pup Winston has stayed with Jeff a few times now and gets excited as soon as we pull up to his house. It gives us such peace of mind to know that he’s happy and well taken care of!”
“Aaron & Paweena took great care of Nova and she had so much fun with them. She is often hesitant when meeting new people and Aaron gave her time and space to warm up to him when we first brought her over. He was also great at introducing her to the other dogs that were there... letting them meet one at a time first to be sure they would be ok together. He definitely seemed very in tune to dog behavior and cues. In addition to her stay there, we also had Aaron come over to give her a walk a couple of times and that worked out really well too. We definitely recommend Aaron and Paweena and will use them again in the future.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”

Five stars, without hesitation. Ilana and her husband took wonderful care of our 99-pound German Shepherd guide dog, Dodge, during our week-long cruise. He settled in, felt right at home, and was clearly well loved while we were away. She sent us pictures on a regular basis, which gave us real peace of mind throughout the trip. Dodge also got along wonderfully with the whole family — their son and daughter, and even their family cat. Communication was great throughout, and pickup arrangements were flexible and easy. We would absolutely trust them with Dodge again and recommend them to anyone.
Azucena took great care of our 7 month-old puppy, Baelor, while we were out of town for a week. She sent us daily updates with pictures, which really helped us feel assured that he was coping well with his first overnight stay away from home. She also dropped in and checked on our senior cat and made sure to let us know after every visit how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with Azucena again!
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!
Jason, and his wife, treated our dogs as family. That was the best part for my wife and I as we could tell that our girls were being treated with love and care. Their home is set up well for dogs and Honey feel in love with one of their dog beds (it's a Casper) and several of the pictures Jason shared showed her hard asleep on the bed. Fozzy loves her frisbee time so we brought one and Jason entertained her, and exhausted her, daily with play time. Again, we got pictures of Fozzy with the frisbee in her mouth and what looked like a smile on her face. Highly recommend Jason and we will definitely be booking with him in the future.
My dogs were well cared for, and Natalia and Edward were very accommodating and flexible for meet & greet, scheduling drop off, and pickup. I appreciated the update photos of the dogs enjoying their company and cozying up on the sofa with their own pup as well. Natalia and Edward seem to enjoy what they do and caring for others’ pets, and I would definitely book with them again. Thanks guys!
After our meet and greet, I knew Tim, his wife and pup Mindy would be a good fit for Izzy. They did a great job communicating with us. From the updates, photos and video, we could tell that Izzy was well cared for and treated like one of their own beloved dogs. We really appreciated the pup pick-up & drop off option at our house and the safe dog seat they had. Highly recommend!
I was away on a long trip and anxious about being away from Charlie for such a long time. Stephen cared for Charlie like he was part of his family. I received daily updates about Charlie's activities, and the photos gave me peace of mind that Charlie was having a great time and being treated like a king. Charlie also has a medical condition, and Stephen was diligent about administering medications and monitoring Charlie. I highly recommend Stephen to care for your pup when you need to travel. 5/5 stars!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wheaton is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 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 8,074 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wheaton. 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton.
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 Wheaton. 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 Wheaton 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.
