“Crystal did an absolutely amazing job watching Rocky while I flew to Atlanta to get married and be on my honeymoon. She made him feel safe, comfortable, and right at home, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Rocky was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking Crystal in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to take care of their pet!”
“We used Jeramy as a last minute sitter when our original plans fell through, and we were so happy with the experience! Our dog can be a nervous with new people, but she loved Jeramy and had a great time during her stay. She also sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop. We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Jeff was FANTASTIC throughout the 1.5 weeks that he looked after our recently adopted schnauzer. We were slightly nervous, having never boarded a dog before, but were immediately put at ease when we saw Jeff interact with our pup. Jeff was communicative and provided helpful updates with sweet pics of our very 😊 doggo. We're so grateful that Jeff was able to board our dog and will definitely look to him again during our next trip away from home. Highly recommend! :)”

I always have peace of mind when she cares for Duchess…and Duchess is alwaysssss happy when she sees Paula and her family. Highly recommend!!!”
“Danielle was an excellent sitter for my dog Memphis. She communicated with me daily about his stay and sent me pictures. I could tell that he was comfortable with her and I definitely felt at ease with him being in her care. I would definitely recommend her services and I will be booking with her in the future.”
“First time using Malvi and Andrej and will absolutely use again. My dogs were treated so well, tons of updates and pictures while I was gone. And happy dogs when picked up! Glad to have found a safe happy spot for my dogs!”
“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”
“Ms. Tonya is an absolute angel. This was our first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous, but even our first message exchange felt like a warm hug. 12/10 recommend Ms. Tonya and her family to take care of your doggie! 🐾”
“Excellent. I am very happy with her work. She is taking care of dog and she is very clean. She sent me videos and photos of my dog almost everyday. Thank you so much Quingbo.”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Cora was fantastic! Super communicative and Honey had a great time with her. She kept me up to date with Honey's anxiety, especially with the storms that came through. I would absolutely use her again!”

We had a fantastic experience with Crystal on Rover while we were away! She provided excellent communication, sent us tons of photos, and was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. Our dogs seemed very happy the entire time and everything went smoothly without a single incident. We highly recommend Crystal and will absolutely be using her again!
Yasheen cared for my pup while I was recently out of town for four days. He readily agreed to do a meet and greet before hand and was overall very easy to communicate with. Jack seemed to enjoy his stay with Yasheen. I would have loved more photos and status updates without having to prompt him but overall was happy with Yasheen and will use his services again.
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:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lanham is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $59 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.

As of October 2026, there are 8,067 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lanham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
