“Kelly and Maurice are amazing!! They took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle while we were away. From the moment we met them, we felt confident that our pup was in good hands. They provided consistent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. They followed all of our instructions and even went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt at home. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. We will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“I had such a great experience with Team Hopkins! From the moment we booked, they were incredibly responsive and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. Throughout the day, I received multiple updates with clear, adorable photos that showed my pup happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. What really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful Team Hopkins was. They noticed his habits, made sure he was comfortable, and even asked questions to ensure his routine stayed consistent. Communication was always prompt and professional, and I never had to wonder how things were going. I would absolutely book again. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like their own, look no further. Highly recommend!”
“I would leave 6 - Stars if I could. My fur baby was well taken care of. Donna and her husband were excellent hosts. Their love for pets was very obvious. I truly hope I have the opportunity to board my baby with them again.”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“Antavia was fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Sabrina was a lifesaver! We booked to board with someone else and they canceled at the last minute. Sabrina was able to help us out. My pups LOVED her (8 year old golden doodle, and 2 year old mini poodle). We’ve found our new favorite pet sitter and we’ll be booking with her from now on.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for about five years and have raised my dog, Scooby, since he was a puppy. My husband and I worked closely on his training, socialization, manners, and recall and he has grown into a well-behaved dog who is comfortable around other dogs and can safely enjoy off-leash activities in appropriate settings. Because I have used Rover and dog daycare services for years, I understand what pet parents are really looking for: a sitter who communicates, follows instructions, provides updates, keeps dogs active, and treats every pet with patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic commands, different personalities, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. Scooby is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, and our home includes two attentive adults who genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I want every owner to feel confident that their dog is safe, comfortable, supervised, and receiving plenty of attention while they are away. I am currently home full-time so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and care throughout the day. I am flexible and happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. I live in a townhome with my husband and our friendly, well-trained dog, Scooby. While we do not have a fenced yard, our community has plenty of grassy areas and walking trails nearby. I can provide walks, playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation based on your dog’s individual needs and energy level.
“Corey is a great resource on Rover! He took our request last minute and was really courteous, attentive, and professional. He kept us updated while we were away with messages and pictures everyday. We will definitely be using Corey's services again.”
“🤗My dog was so comfortable at Alejandro’s. Alejandro sent daily pics of Georgie’s visit. I will definitely use this sitter again. I was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my Georgie was in good hands.🐶”
“As a repeat customer, I completely feel comfortable leaving my baby with Monica. She keeps me informed about every single detail while I'm away and sends a cute detailed "report card" every evening. Thank you, Monica! I truly appreciate you.”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
About: I have a genuine love and passion for dogs and have been caring for them for many years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I had two of my own dogs whom I loved and cared for throughout their lives, both living to approximately 15 years old. Caring for them from their younger years through their senior years gave me valuable experience understanding how a dog’s needs change as they age. I also have plenty of experience with puppies—including one very memorable night when I was caring for a pregnant dog while her owner was away and she unexpectedly went into labor in the middle of the night! I stayed with her throughout the delivery and helped welcome her puppies into the world. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and one that shows just how seriously I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet. I understand that every dog is different. I’m comfortable following your dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, crate routines, and plenty of affection and attention. I also understand that some dogs need time and patience to become comfortable with someone new. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for by someone who will treat them with the same love, patience, attention, and compassion that I would want for my own pets. Whether you have a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior companion who prefers a slower pace, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection. Because I’m home during the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m also able to follow each pet’s individual schedule and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each owner’s instructions closely because I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I maintain their normal feeding and potty schedules, provide regular walks and playtime, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I supervise interactions with other pets and never force a dog into a situation that makes them uncomfortable.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“This was our first time boarding Black with a sitter, and Crystal provided a great experience for Black and for us. When we dropped him off, he didn’t even look back as she ushered him inside which told us he was comfortable with Crystal from the very beginning. When we picked Black up, he was excited to see us AND sad for his weekend with Crystal to come to an end. Black had a couple of behavioral issues during his stay and Crystal was very attentive taking great care of his needs and keeping us updated with great photos and detailed reports. We highly recommend Crystal.”
“Absolutely great sitter for our Milo! She made sure to send us constant updates and pictures throughout his stay. Our baby had a great time. We will be using her again soon!”
“Branden was wonderful with Bruno who loves a lot of attention. He was responsive when I checked in and also provided updates. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Im very careful who I leave my Bruno with and I will book with Branden again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Upper Marlboro is $50

Kelly & Maurice took care of my dog for about five days, and honestly, I was a little worried about how he would do. His previous sitter said he barked a lot and was a bit of a handful. I know him to be loving, bubbly, and definitely a barker and marker in new environments, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. They kept me updated, shared pictures, and communicated well throughout his stay. I especially loved how the entire family was involved and how comfortable and welcoming the whole setup felt. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely use Kelly & Maurice again!
Corduroy had a wonderful stay with Donna, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Corduroy was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the attention, patience, and genuine love shown to him throughout his stay. Thank you for taking such great care of Corduroy—I look forward to booking with you again!
Extraordinary sitters! 10-star communication, care, and most importantly love to your fur baby! Lee and Taj are the Maryland Dog Whisperers! I cannot say enough about the exceptional service they provide to their customers. I hope to use them over and over. Thank you for being amazing at what you do to care for our babies!
Felicia was absolutely amazing with Brooklyn! She was so sweet, caring, loving, and attentive — it truly felt like Brooklyn was with her owner… me. Leaving your pet while traveling can be stressful, but Felicia gave me complete peace of mind because I knew Brooklyn was being loved and cared for like family. You can tell she genuinely has a heart for animals and creates an environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and adored. If you have a pet with a lot of love to give and receive while you’re away, I highly recommend Felicia. Hands down, she is the best dog sitter around, and I would trust her with Brooklyn again without hesitation!
Aerion took such great care of my dog Scooby, so much so that I think he wanted to stay with her instead of coming back home lol. Aerion is a very active communicator providing you with videos, pictures and messages daily pertaining to your fur baby. I wish I could give her more stars for the wonderful work she has done for me and my family. Having a good sitter really take the constant worry about how your pet is doing so you can concentrate on your work or vacation and Aerion is that sitter. Will definitely be using her again for my next travel trip if she has availability and I urge whomever reading this review do the same.

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