“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Boarding our dog with Cal and Kelly was a great experience. They were very responsive, quickly set up a meet&greet when requested, and took great care of our pup. They have very thoughtfully set up their home to ensure the dogs in their care are safe and comfortable. We hope to book with them again!”
“Adva and her family made a wonderful home for Stitch! She was very communicative and responsive. And it’s obvious how much love she and all of her family have for dogs. Stitch will definitely be back!”
“From the momment, Ziggy met Khadija, I knew that I was leaving him in good hands (he walked right up to her with his tail wagging and he give Kahdija a full-bodied lean-into-your lower leg). Ziggy had a great time with Khadija and her pets (including a kitten). Per Khadija, Ziggy and her kitten played wonderfully together. Will definately use Khadija again to take care of my furbaby!!”
“Masha and her family took the best care of Hoagie!! They handled all of her quirks and needs, and gave her such a fun long weekend of hikes and snuggles. We would highly recommend them, and hope they’ll watch hoagie again soon’! Thank you so much, Masha!!”
“Our dog Theo (King Charles Cavalier) stayed with Chad and his wife Regina while we were out of town. They were great! We had a meet and greet with Chad prior to booking and he was responsive and communicative from that time all the way through pick up. We got regular updates and feedback throughout his stay. Would definitely board Theo with Chad and Regina again!”
“Andy was great watching my 2 French Bulldogs at his home. was responsive during my booking and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. He sent lots of photos each day of the stay. I would recommend Andy as a reliable sitter. Thank you!”
“We are so grateful to Alex and Daniel for all they do — they are such wonderful people and we always arrive home to find a well-loved, bright-eyed, very happy and healthy pup! So lucky to be your neighbors — thank you!!”
“Cindy was awesome. She addressed the initial anxiety of Lightning , made sure he is comfortable, and sent pictures and videos . We will not hesitate having her board Lightning again.”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Julijai, Alejandra and Eduardo and Luis took very good care of my dog, They shared videos showing how much fun she was having with the other dogs and carefully gathered her things to be ready when I picked her up. I will be leaving my dog with them again soon for another 2-week period, in which I am confident that she will be cared for lovingly.”
“Great family! Sent lots of pictures to show me how comfortable my baby was with them. Made me feel so much better about his stay with them. Definitely will be using them again! Super flexible as well!”
“Dana and Patrick were wonderful with Ollie once again. It’s been a great experience to travel knowing he’s in good hands and the updates make me feel reassured that he’s also having a good time while we are away. We will definitely book with them again in the future when we need care for our dog.”
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and are well-experienced dog owners. My husband, especially, has owned dogs of all different breeds, to include champion Russian Wolfhounds (his mom used to show dogs!). We have 3 young kids at the moment, all who love to pet and care for animals, espeically dogs, and will show them so much love and affection! We are responsible and will make sure pets are well taken care of and dogs are walked, fed and have a safe house to live in while they are away from their owners. My husband and I both work from home full-time, so someine is always at home to watch over your pet and take them for walks when needed. We may have to step out for a couple hours in the evening to take kids to activities, but we are always home by bedtime/well before bedtime. We have a fenced yard, and can crate the dog if needed. However, if your dog is comfortable, they can also sleep on a dog bed in our kids' room, our room, or really wherever they choose in the house. For dog walking services, both my husband and I will make sure we enter the house as instructed and lock the door when we leave. We both like to run, so are also happy to take your dog on a run if they have the energy!
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”

A HUGE thank you to Kelly and John for taking such great care of our fur baby, Daisy, during our week away! I received frequent updates, photos, and videos during Daisy's stay with them. The attention and affection Daisy received from Kelly and John helped Daisy; especially since she can become anxious when apart from me. I was so happy to see Daisy relaxing next to their sweet dog, Vinnie, in many of the photos! You are always fabulous with our pup girl! Thanks so much for your expert care!
I use Pallavi and Alex all the time to board my dog, Oreo. But this time was exceptional. We had a sudden family emergency and I scheduled with them last minute - scheduled at 11am and dropped off at 1pm. It was all very rushed - I forgot the dog bed. Within 24 hrs, the family emergency became a death and I was going to be gone not for the 3 days I had planned but for 10. I contacted them, and it was no problem to extend Oreo's stay. Not only that, I had not left enough food, but of course they wouldn't let Oreo go hungry. I was able to deal with my family's situation knowing my pup was well taken care of and I really appreciated it. Thank you Pallavi and Alex for everything!
Angela and family took great care of our dog, including giving him medicine for a sudden stomach problem. This allowed us to enjoy a long-awaited vacation. And when we picked our dog up, he was doing so much better. They have a great yard for dogs who like to play and run! Highly recommend!
Galen was able to squeeze our dog, Bo, in for a last-minute overnight stay. As usual her care of Bo was exceptional. He has turned into a very picky eater, but she patiently performed her magic and got him to eat!! We know he is not visiting a dogsitter but rather his second home!
Azucena was wonderful with my dog Willow. Before Willow boarded with her we set up a meet and greet where she asked very thoughtful and insightful questions to make sure she knew my pup's schedule, temperament, and needs. When Willow was with her, Azucena provided wonderful updates and pictures that made it clear that Willow was happy and well cared for.
Fiorela took care of our two large, energetic labrador retrievers for a long weekend. She doted on them and kept them plenty busy, with photos and updates every day. She even sent them home with some yummy homemade treats. We would definitely be happy to have her care for our pups again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wheaton on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $72 per night. 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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
