Our dog Reese had a great time with Mickey and his dogs. We love that Mickey has a training background and we didn't have to worry about Reese coming back with any bad behaviors. In fact, Mickey knows how to handle Reese better than we do. Another very important part to us is that Reese was hanging out with a loving family and not just kept in a crate. We will definitely board with Mickey again.

Rebeca provided excellent care to my Frankie. My pup had a bit of a bug while staying with her, and kept me informed about how she was doing and even made her some chicken and rice to ease her stomach. I will definitely book Rebeca again.

10/10 stars! This was our second time having Carlos watch our pup and it was an amazing experience. I could clearly see how much Whiskey enjoyed his time as when we dropped him off the second time, he acted like we were not there. He immediately wanted to go on a walk with Carlos when he got there. On top of that Carlos sends frequent updates and almost professional like photos! Highly recommend Carlos for anyone looking for a sitter.

Once again, Seyla is amazing taking care of my boy, Ace. Ace immediately recognized him and jumped out of the car. I love that Ace feels safe. Ace was on medication this stay and Seyla made sure he took his meds timely and stayed on schedule all while comforting him. Seyla treats him like his own.

Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!

We had a wonderful experience with Jona. She is kind, patient, and took the time to truly understand our dogs' needs and routine. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Jona is incredibly attentive, not just to our dog, but to all the dogs in her care, and creates a warm, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. We would happily book with Jona again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Chelsea provided a home away from home. We were very worried about leaving our new puppy with anyone so soon. We soon realized we made a great decision in selecting Chelsea to care for our puppy. He had caring people around him full-time and she sent photos every day. It was comforting to know he was being well cared for.

Sophie is so pampered with Meghan and Irene. She is older and they carry her up and down stairs to keep her safe. They fight over who is going to get to sleep next to her. They show as much love for Sophie as they do for their own dogs. Sophie is always happy to arrive at their house.

Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.

Marcela is the best sitter. My little Havapoo just loves her. I was nervous to leave my puppy with anyone when I traveled out of town for work. My pup instantly took to Marcela and I know she enjoys playing with the other small dogs that Marcela boards from time to time too. She used to be so shy but overtime boarding with Marcela helped socialize her to other dogs. Now she’s way more confident and comfortable. Marcela is always flexible and accommodating with shifts in my work and personal travel. I can’t say enough good things about her!

Vronnie is absolutely amazing! (a little too amazing because my pup didn’t want to leave lol) The initial meet & greet made us feel so comfortable, it felt like we’d known each other for years. Her home is immaculate & just as welcoming as she is. She kept my baby excercised, and made sure to send plenty of pictures/updates. I will absolutely be using Vronnie’s services again, and I highly recommend her!

We booked Jesus for 2 weeks to go to Japan. The Japan trip was planned a year in advance as it was extremely important to our youngest. Our dog, a 156 pound 2 year old Newfoundland, is extremely important to us too. He'd have been on the trip too if allowed. The day of the trip, our puppy appeared to have loose stools. I thought it was due to nerves and anxiety from all four of us having suitcases. I let Jesus know. He didn't try to cancel, charge more, or hesitate. Instead, he acted as if the puppy were his own - asking about diet, rice, chicken... This puppy ended up not having nerves but being truly sick and waking Jesus up multiple times the 1st few days we were gone. Jesus sent updates, let us know not to panic, and was reassuring. My husband wanted to cancel the trip. Showing him Jesus's texts made him feel better. Jesus had our baby in his care and it was clear that Jesus CARED and would care for our puppy as if he were his own. Our puppy recovered in a few days, good stools. We got pictures of good walks and lazy couch pictures. JESUS is who we will trust with our big guy any time we go away again, if we are forced to leave him behind.

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!

Dinijah was amazing! She took such great care our my dogs and kept me updated with photos and messages. They absolutely loved her! She took the time to get to know our dogs personalities, routines, and quirks, and I could tell right away that my pup felt comfortable and happy around her. Super reliable and caring, I’ll definitely book again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Indian Head

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Indian Head on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,607 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.

94% 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.
