“I cannot thank Crystal enough for the excellent care and compassion she provided for my 18-month-old dog, Mr. Biggs, during his first-ever overnight stay away from me. I was just as anxious as he was, but she went above and beyond to ensure we both felt comfortable. He was squirming and crying when I dropped him off, but she quickly managed to calm him down after I left. Throughout the stay, she sent me pictures and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. My dog usually refuses to eat when I’m not around, but she even got him to eat the next day! This was an amazing experience for both of us, and I’ve already booked his next stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“Lucia kept us up to date with our dog activities by frequently sending us pictures and we really enjoyed them. From the pictures, we could see that our dog was happy. We will definitely bring our dog to her next time we are going out of town again.”
About: I grew up with a dog and cat that made me realize at a young age just how important they are in the household. That’s why when I got my own place, I knew I had to adopt! My beloved dog, Laya, has recently passed so I figured this would be a great time to provide my home to others needing a temporary safe, loving space. I’m extremely outdoorsy, so going on a walk, run or whatever your canine companion may want is more than okay with me! Playing fetch and tug-o-war is part of my daily activities... Oh! And don’t forget the belly rubs! My love for animals has peaked over the years, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to help them and their human companions live a happy, pawsitive, and adventure-filled life. :) I currently am only open on weekends due to my 9-5 job during the week and wanting to have enough time for your furry loved one. Any needs your pup/animals requires can absolutely be accomplished. I love cuddles on the couch to long hikes or runs any time of the day. Naps are also important!
“Yasheen did an amazing job caring for my two large dogs over the holiday. It was their first time staying with someone else, so I was a little nervous about how they would react. but he was so patient and took the time to sit with them, offer different treats, and help them feel comfortable. He kept me updated throughout the stay and truly cared about making them feel safe. I really appreciated how calm and dedicated he was, especially with two big dogs. I would absolutely trust him with my dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 100/10 he did a really good job!! Thank you so much!!”
“Nicole and family did an amazing job with Zack! He had such a great time that he's now exhausted 😴👍. Their kindness, responsiveness, and care were truly appreciated – thank you for making our experience so special!”
“Tasha took great care of Ruthie and was super flexible with last minute requests when our flight back got delayed. Lots of nice daily updates. Would definitely use again!”
“Bria was AMAZING!!! It was my puppies first time staying away from home and not only did she create a safe environment but he had a chance to engage with other dogs. Highly recommend Bria and her services.”
“Sandra is the best. She love dogs, and the dogs love her. Everytime I'm over when dropping off my dog and picking up my dog he look so happy and when he got home he sleep so well because he gets to burn all his energy over there. He is fed on schedule and he is more obedient since she been helping me putting him back on schedule. She is great. All of her family members love dogs.”
“Asha was so great with my 2 month old, Eni! She prioritized her safety my making sure to wipe her feet after being outside while also make sure she had loads of fun and sent a bunch of pictures.”
“Mark provided excellent attention and care to our Koda. He was responsive, and effectively communicated throughout our fur baby's stay during the busy holiday weekend. He provided several photos of Koda enjoying outdoor play time with his new fur buddies. We highly recommend Mark and will definitely use him again for our future boarding needs!”
“Eli took care of our rambunctious Nala girl for 5 days while in the Dominican Republic. We never had to worry about her and got updates of her walks. We can't wait for our next trips in the future knowing we have an expert caring for her!”
“Alder and Kathy were like second parents to Marley. He had an awesome time and was so happy when we picked him up. I will absolutely use their services again. Marley cannot wait until our next vacation so he can stay with you guys! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby.”
“Amazing! Teddi loved his time with Maya. She even got him to use puppy pads, something I’d struggled with before. He’s such a sweet pup who got to have so much fun for the weekend. He was treated with such care and adoration.”
“Kennedy is a great communicator and provided a safe and fun place to board our dog while we were away. She gave our girl lots of love and I would happily book her again!”
“Kelly&Maurice were wonderful from the beginning to the end. Will definitely use them again, I was never comfortable with leaving my dog with anyone. Kelly called and explained how they would be caring for my dog she made me feel at ease. So Thank you kelly & Maurice”

Myesha was very responsive and provided pictures of Willow throughout her stay! She gave a detailed description upon pick up of everything she ate whether or not she pottied. Although I didn’t take her up on it, she also offered to give a tour of her place prior to boarding.I would recommend and will definitely use again!
Great experience! My Frenchie was clearly loved and well cared for during her stay. I received daily photos and updates, which was so reassuring and made it easy to see that she was happy and having a great time. She came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciate the wonderful care and communication, and I would definitely book with this sitter again!
Storm always has a great time. I love knowing that she settles right in like she’s at home. I know she loves spending time with Marissa and her Furbabies and can’t wait to go back! As long as we live in the area Storm will be delighted any chance she has to go back!
The nicest! Phill cared for our dog, he didn't just keep her while we were gone. Thoughtfully communicated how she was adjusting to her new surroundings, and was engaged with her to learn her personality. Our girl is a 50lb Micro Bully and he had no trouble with our lil' tank, adjusting her walks so she could manage the summer heat. We're grateful, Phill. Thank you!
Ilia is an outstanding sitter! She came over and bonded with Tofu prior to our travels. We were also fortunate that he got along well with her two dogs. She provided me with daily updates with pictures. Tofu made himself at home with Ilia and settled in pretty well by the first night. I strongly recommend Ilia to sit your fur baby. She's caring, attentive, communicative, and overall compassionate. I was comforted to know that my dog was in the greatest care in my absence. Thank you, Ilia!
Lily was so kind and accommodating. She took a last minute booking for my boy Kash. My first time booking with her and she was so professional, and kept me informed the entire trip. She was even able to keep him for an extra night when my trip was delayed, and dropped him off for me the next day. 10 out of 10, amazing dog sitter. Thanks Lily:)

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 Lanham 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 Lanham 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 Lanham.
<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 Lanham 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.
