“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Sarah and her family are the best. Murphy had such a good time, we didn't think he'd want to come home. Great communication and we had absolutely no worries. Thank you again!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
“La Tasha treated my dog with care. She kept me updated me with photos and videos that helped put my mind at ease on his first overnight with her. I would absolutely rebook. Thank you!”
“Daniela was an amazing puppy sitter! Bruno absolutely loved her and her sweet family. While we were out of town, Daniela communicated with us daily and sent us the cutest photos and videos the entire time. We are so thankful that she was able to accommodate our last-minute request. With all the belly rubs and cuddles, I’m sure our furbaby had an amazing time and we’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time!”
“Emily was truly amazing with my Samuel! I appreciated her willingness to meet before Sammys short stay with her. She showed a level of comfort with larger dogs that I appreciate it! She even went as far as buying extra pumpkin with his stool was soft during his stay, and worked on tricks with him, when it rained. Thank you, Emily! I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“Sarah was amazing with our dog! She was so good to our dog and even gave us a new collar because our dog chewed through hers. Sarah is very sweet and thoughtful, she took our dog for a run and made sure she felt right at home! I highly recommend her!!”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“Stephanie provided exceptional care for our dog, allowing us to do a meet and greet with her and her dog, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the stay. Her daily "pupdates" gave us peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services. The bath before coming home was also an unexpected bonus!”
“Bianca was attentive and skilled with our beloved Ali who can be a handful with his rambunctiousness. We had a family function to attend in another city and unexpectedly needed a sitter. Bianca was quick and reliable upon request. In addition, Bianca kept us updated on Ali’s stay which he appeared not to miss us with all the love and affection doted on him during his stay. If I ever in the future need a sitter or even just a walker for any event, I would trust Bianca more than my family for the care Ali. I wholeheartedly recommend her fully for the care and wellbeing of your pet.”
“Schuyler was flexible and helped navigate a change of plans. She and her husband came over twice a day and spent time with our pups, played with them, and gave them much needed attention while I was away.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wilderness is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 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.

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 Wilderness 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 Wilderness 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 Wilderness.
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 Wilderness. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Wilderness 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.
