So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.

Mary was great watching our 10-year old Cavashon! She has a wonderful space for dogs, and her back yard is fantastic! She loves dogs and is a very kind person.

Jim was awesome with Shelby!!! She really enjoyed her stay and had a great time, especially the long walks and the belly rubs. Would definitely recommend Jim to watch your fury friends. This was a last minute booking and the fact that he got back to me so quick with his availability, was also a plus…

Stephanie was very responsive and receptive to a meet and greet before booking. I was nervous, as our dog was still recovering from surgery, but at the meet and greet, Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and was very accommodating to Sasha. She was very open to our weird schedules for drop off and pick up. We will definitely book her again!

As always, he provided outstanding service! We have used him multiple times, and he consistently takes amazing care of our dog. He gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. This stay was especially wonderful because our dog even learned how to swim! We loved receiving updates and knowing our dog was having such a great time. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

I couldn't recommend Gail more- she was absolutely amazing, and Bella (our pug) really seemed to enjoy her stay. Gail was very respectful of Bella's daily routine and sent us daily updates (which put our minds at ease during our trip). You can tell Gail loves dogs as she even makes her own dog biscuts -- so cool!! We hope to use Gail in the future and highly recommend her to others.

Thank you for making my first experience with this app such a positive one! As a fairly new pet parent, I had never used this app and didn’t know what to expect. Beauty was very responsive, sent videos and updates, and I could tell my dog really loved his time there. Will absolutely book again.

Exceeded my expectations! This dynamic duo is truly a dream team. They took very good care of my Tyson since the meet and greet! They are very communicative and will send you as little or as many updates as you can take. This was my first time away from my baby and it’s warming to find out I was the one with separation anxiety while he had a friend and a safe space to be a dog! Will DEFINITELY be using there awesome services again!

Chelsea-Jo and her family were great to Coco. We had a great first experience with Rover. She was available last minute when our original sitter cancelled on the night we were to leave town for a Funeral. Her house was clean and her and her husband were super friendly! She updated me many times, including pictures, on how Coco was doing. From the photos, they played with her and she was happy and treated as she was one of their own. I would highly recommend using Chelsea-Jo and will definitely see if she’s available in the future when we need a sitter.

Mrs.Diane was nothing but exceptional. Not only did she send me pictures, but she also followed all the instruction I gave her plus her communication was on point. Our puppy loved it there. I’ve already called all my family and friends that has dogs and referred her. I will most definitely be a returning customer!

Mr. Romero was wonderful. We were in a pinch and nervous about getting a quality dog sitter on short notice, but thankfully Mr. Romero was available. Throughout our dog Dexter’s stay, Jesus was very responsive to my messages, sending photos and videos. He was clear with procedures for drop off and pick up. Dexter was happy to be in the Romero house while we were out of town. We highly recommend!

We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.

Faith was simply fantastic! She was communicative, thorough, attentive, and assisted at all times before and throughout my dogs stay. She was my first time utilizing rover and having my dog away for an extended stay. He fit right in, appeared at ease, and was up to his normal ways. When I went to pick up my dog, he looked healthy, confident, no fear or anxiety on him whatsoever. That was one of the most telling things that Faith and her family took great care of my dog. I cannot recommend her any higher and I will certainly be requesting her services again. Thanks again for everything Faith!

FAQs for Boarding - Indian Head

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Indian Head on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,589 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Indian Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Indian Head sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Indian Head landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Indian Head 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 Indian Head.

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.

You and your Indian Head 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.
