“OMG where do I begin. Ms. Crystal is AMAZING!😍😍😍😍😍 From beginning to end our experience was top notch and extremely professional. She began with meeting us virtually prior to our booking date to detailing what she offered and what was to be expected. Everything she stated was true. She treated our fur baby🐕 as her own! She took our baby on nature wallks, sent pictures daily and checked in with a refreshing text message of the details of our pups day. She even gave valuable insight on our pups behavior, calming techniques for her anxiety and personal experiences from 24 years of knowledge which we happily soaked up. This was our first time with Ms. Crystal but she now our go to. Our fur baby just loves❤️her. We would recommend her to everyone!”
“once again, leaving our pups with Jeff was like leaving them with family. thanks again Jeff for all of the love and care you provided to our little spoiled babies while we were on vacation.”
“Asha took great care of our pup Pepper. She sent us updates and pictures before we asked for them and was super easy to communicate. Asha gave lots of love to Pepper while we were away and Pepper came back home happy and clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Sandra was amazing! Our two dogs stayed for 3 nights and had an absolute blast. They played outside in the back yard and kiddie pool and had fun toys to play with. She sent pictures and updates every day and our dogs looked so happy! Highly recommend her for boarding or doggy play dates.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, Copper, and we were a little nervous but Cal and Kelly were amazing! We received multiple photos/videos everyday and Copper was well watched and taken care of. We will 100% be coming back and I couldn’t recommend them enough!!”
“Sabrina took great care of my doggie while we were away during Thanksgiving. My little guy had a great time and made new friends. She shared lots of pics and videos while we were away. I will schedule another visit soon.”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Mo had so much fun staying with Malvi, Andrej, and Max for a week! Mo is a high energy dog, and they always make sure he gets enough attention and playtime in the backyard. They are very communicative and sent so many great pictures throughout his stay - we’ll continue booking Mo’s boarding here whenever they’re available!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Kelly and Maurice! They took care of my dog, Izzy, for a few days, and as always, it was an excellent experience. Izzy absolutely loves going to their home and gets so excited whenever he arrives. Kelly and Maurice are fantastic communicators, keeping me updated and making sure Izzy is well looked after. They’re incredibly accommodating, which makes the whole process so smooth and stress-free. This is my second time trusting them with Izzy, and I couldn’t be happier. Knowing he’s with people who genuinely care and provide such a warm and welcoming environment gives me great peace of mind. The best part? Izzy is all smiles while he’s there, and seeing him happy makes it all worth it. Highly recommend Kelly and Maurice for anyone looking for trustworthy and loving dog sitters!”
“Fredis was amazing! I felt super comfortable leaving Lola with him and his family. He was very responsive and sent me constant updates and pictures of Lola having a great time. I will absolutely be leaving Lola in the care of Fredis again!”
“Beth did a great job watching Cosmo! She made it very easy to schedule the pick up and drop off times, and sent lots of picture updates while I was away. I would definitely recommend Beth!”
“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”
“Tamara was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter I’ve had. I boarded my little guy with her for about 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout on how he was doing. It really put me at ease and let me know he was in great hands. I would 100%recommend.”
“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Christian had great communication and was very prompt in responses and updates. My dog stayed with her for a few days and seemed like she had a good time. It was my first time boarding her at someone else’s house— would recommend Christian!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Loic sent us photos almost every day of our dog enjoying walks, often at the Arboretum. We wondered if he would prefer to stay forever! We'll definitely reach out to Loic again.”
“Aniya was so kind go Tako (and us, her owners). I had travel complications and her quick and helpful responses provided relief, knowing Tako was in excellent hands. She sent photos regularly, texted updates, and even got Tako little toys.”

Thank you so much for the care you provided for my Teddy. From the time I booked her, without meeting her, she was already excited to meet him which provided me with much confidence and comfortable as I traveled internationally. She provided photos and detailed updates even on his adjustments. Upon picking him up, you can tell he had lots of fun and care. She was also very hospitable and polite with great energy. Definitely a 5 star sitter!!!
Crystal was truly a pleasure to work with! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone outside of my immediate family and let’s just say he was more than fine. Crystal made sure to keep me updated on Kiko’s daily activities. She communicates very well and is always willing and able to answer any questions! I felt so happy and relieved that I have found someone my Kiko is safe with. He was truly having a blast with Crystal and the other pups! I would absolutely recommend her especially if you’re looking for a cozy home, good energy and great communications.
Yasheen did a wonderful job watching our three puppies! He took great care of them, was very responsive throughout the stay, and was flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Our dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care he gave them and would absolutely recommend Yasheen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
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:)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lanham is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $60 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 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.
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 Lanham. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
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.
