“Stephanie has watched my dog Tucker now multiple times and takes wonderful care of him! Tucker is always so happy when we pick him up and always looks forward to going to stay with her. Highly recommend!!”
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“This is an amazing family who all deserve the highest marks for caring for my senior dog. The three sons even drew me a great picture of Hank! The pictures they send show a happy, “smiling” dog having a good time with either their dog., with family or resting. I feel so confident about his well being while I am away. Thank you all!”
“Thanks Sneha for taking good care of Zeno. Zeno had a wonderful time and he totally enjoyed the stay. Timely texting of videos were very helpful and my daughter was happy that Zeno was having fun. Special thanks for accommodating Zeno. I am recommending Sneha to all my friends who have pets.”
“Jennifer seriously saves our lives!! We travel a lot on short notice for weekends and jennifer is so flexible and has always worked with us to watch our 2 year old pitbull. And he absolutely LOVES going to her house. He doesnt even turn around to say goodbye when we drop him off he just runs in. Its relieving knowing he is in good hands while we are away. Jennifer has watched him many times and we will keep going back to her!”
About: 🐾Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been much more than a responsibility…it’s a lifelong passion! With over 30 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to understand dogs beyond their behavior to recognize what they may be communicating. I pay close attention to their body language, recognize subtle signs of stress or discomfort, and adapt my approach to help each dog feel understood and secure. I have extensive experience handling dogs with different personalities, from energetic and playful companions to shy, sensitive, or more reserved dogs. I understand that building trust requires patience, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual temperament. I also understand that puppies, adult dogs, and seniors have very different physical and emotional needs. I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized care appropriate to each stage of life. Above all, I genuinely love what I do. Every dog deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved companion very seriously.🐾 ✂️ Professional Grooming Available! I also offer grooming services upon request for an additional fee. Pricing is customized based on your dog’s breed, size, coat condition, and individual grooming needs. 🐾I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every guest feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, outdoor breaks, exercise, playtime, and relaxation according to each dog’s individual needs.🐾 🐾Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I provide a clean, peaceful, and carefully managed home environment where every guest receives personalized attention and care. My boarding guests have their own designated areas, completely separate from my personal dogs. This allows me to maintain a safe, structured environment while respecting each dog’s individual needs and personal space. I provide comfortable dog beds and cozy blankets so every guest has a welcoming space to rest and relax. My home features a fully fenced yard where guests can enjoy supervised outdoor activities, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or signs of discomfort to ensure every guest receives the care they need. I believe that maintaining familiar routines, providing a calm environment, and respecting each dog’s individual personality are essential to helping them feel secure and comfortable while away from home.🐾
“Carmen and her husband were exceptional caretakers of our pup, are incredibly nice, and were very communicative and flexible. Since they have a fenced-in yard, it made for a great environment for our pup’s extended stay. I would 100% recommend them.”
“Julia (and Daniel) were the greatest hosts for Jack and Arnie, my 2 bulldogs. The pups demand a lot of attention and affection, and they got it! I can’t say enough great things about their attention to detail and care requirements. And the photos and updates helped me get through my work trip blues. Thank you!!!!”
“My dog Sprinkie had a great stay with Shiv and his family. Shiv was very easy to set up the stay with him and was quick to respond to any communication. I found having him as a caretaker for my dog a very good thing. I would definitely use him again !”
“Our puppy Midas had a great time with Marne and John! They took great care of him while we were away and sent many photos to let us know how he was doing. We would definitely have him stay with them again!”
“Frances was great with Stella. She took great care of her, made her feel at home, made sure she ate, and took her to work with her. I would definately give Frances a call again. I also really liked that she took the time to send pics of Stella throughout her stay. Thanks, Frances!”
“Kaye took great care of our Charlie this past week! She sent frequent pics throughout the week which my kids and I appreciated! He looked so happy and welcomed into their family! So grateful to have found Kaye!”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
“Our Hendrix was well loved during his stay with this family. I received updates and pictures along with a video of him playing with the children. Tail wagging and quite talkative during my pickup I knew he was left in good hands big and small. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I was a kid. I currently manage a dog/cat boarding facility. I’ve been working there for about 5 years and have tons of experience. My family and friends always rely on me for my help. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work with animals daily and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I build pet care into my routine by making time for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home! 🐾 I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and opportunities to relax. I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. I love making sure every pet gets one-on-one attention, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, getting extra cuddles, or simply lounging around. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness and treat every pet as if they were my own. ❤️
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
About: Hi! I’m Willa I’m a 29 year old living in downtown Frederick. Professionally, I am a licensed social worker. I had a dog from age 7 until he died when I was 22. I haven’t been able to get a new pet due to costs, but I love taking care of my friends dogs when they are on vacation so I decided to sign up here to make some money doing it. I can only board small to medium dogs due to the size of my apartment. I have a bed, food bowls, toys and treats but I do not have a crate. I’m responsible and respectful of other people’s homes. I can travel up to 15 miles to drop in on your pet before work, during my lunch break if needed, and in the afternoon/evening. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, various medical needs, and I have no problem cleaning up messes!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Woodridge is €50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
After a few disappointing experiences on Rover, I was understandably nervous about finding care for my two larger dogs during a three-week (20-day) trip. Her profile looked promising, but I was completely unprepared for just how exceptional the level of care would be. From the moment I met her and her husband, I felt an immediate sense of peace and trust. She was very attentive. My dogs took to them and their home right away. She gave them all the love and attention they receive at home—and possibly even more. She even let my pup snuggle in bed with her. It was clear that she loved and cared for them as if they were family. Throughout my trip, I received frequent pictures and videos of my dogs enjoying what was clearly a vacation of their own, complete with plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I received updates frequently and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. When I picked them up, they were calm, happy, and completely content. As a busy professional who hopes to travel more, I cannot adequately express what it means to have found someone I trust—literally without a second thought—to care for my fur babies. A truly 100/10 experience. I could not recommend her more highly.
We found Soumen at the last minute when we needed someone to care for Lilo over the weekend. He took excellent care of her and kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Lilo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Soumen again. Highly recommend!
Glenn is amazing! He took wonderful care of Ovi and made the entire experience stress-free. He is friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the pets he watches. He is always responsive to messages, provides updates, and is ready to help whenever needed. Glenn creates a true home-away-from-home environment, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Ovi in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge.
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 Woodridge. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Woodridge 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.
