“We’ve used Kelly and Maurice a couple of times and this past boarding was over a week and they did a fantastic job with our dog. He came back healthy happy and clean. We highly recommend using them for your boarding needs. They are super engaging sending pictures and videos. We consider them Max’s 2nd family.😊”
“Lisa is wonderful! She took care of my Bandit to my satisfaction. Lisa sent several pictures and gave plenty of updates. I definitely recommend Lisa and will reach out to her again next time I need a sitter for Bandit.”
“If you’re not booking Mady when she has availability then what are you doing. Mady was AWESOME! She took great care of our dog and sent tons of pictures and some video. She has a dog friendly home so if your dog has free range of the house like ours they will feel at home. Definitely will be using Mady again if her availability meets our needs for boarding. 5 ⭐️ job Mady.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life. I currently have dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure everyone is comfortable and cared for are already part of my normal routine. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Depending on your dog’s needs and energy level, their time with me can include walks, supervised outdoor play, exercise, bathroom breaks, enrichment, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine because I have dogs of my own. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs outside for walks and playtime, while also making sure they have plenty of time to relax. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible so being away from home feels comfortable and familiar. Safety is my priority whenever someone trusts me with their dog. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for supervised play, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also have dogs of my own, so introductions with visiting dogs are always handled carefully and supervised. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, crates, medications, sleeping arrangements, and interaction with other pets. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family.

About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats. Currently I’m working part-time, but I’m also looking to go full time in the near future. With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.
“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.”
“Mark and his family were superb with my dog Myers!! This was Myers first time staying away from us and they made sure he was well taken care of and felt at home. He sent plenty of pics and videos of my dog having a great time with his dogs. We'll use them again for sure!”
“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.”
“Alicia was incredible! She gave updates daily on our pup and was very detailed on how their day went. Will be booking with her again. You can definitely relax because your pup will be in great hands in her care.”
“Miss Bougiee had a wonderful time with Roxsand! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of how well my pup was doing. Miss Bougiee got along well with the other dogs. Roxsand even gave Miss Bougiee a Chrismas Gift, she was kind and thoughtful and I highly recommend!”
“Tamara was a wonderful sitter who provided timely responses, pictures, and updates throughout the duration of my dogs time with her. I highly recommend Tamara.”
“Kiyanna was very sweet and patient with Sebastian. When I contacted her to find out how he was doing she responded quially to provide updates. When we picked him up he was happy and well cared for. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our fur baby with her again.”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 13. My family has worked taking care of dogs since I was a kid. That is why I became a dogs groomer and now I have a safe and big home that I can use to take care of your love ones. I usually wake up at 6am I’m home in the mornings so I have time to take care of the doggies. Around 10am I leave for work but my wife stays home the whole day to watch and take the doggies to the fence backyard by 5 or 6pm I am back home. So is a team work between my wife and me. I have a house with two bedrooms and two living rooms that are available for the doggies and since I have two little kids the areas are gated so the kids don’t bother the doggies that are not used to be around kids. The backyard of the house is big and fenced so they are secure and safe to play and run around. Me and my wife made sure to make the house kids and dogs safe. Also dogs are free inside the house not crated. If we have dogs from different families that are not used to being with different dogs we keep them in different areas of the house separated from each other.
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with LouieV! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable and confident that he was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated Louie like he was one of her own. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I could tell that she really took the time to understand his personality and routine and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. LouieV looked happy, relaxed, and right at home with her, which meant everything to me. This was such a wonderful experience, and Kimberly truly exceeded my expectations. Finding someone you can genuinely trust with your fur baby is so important, and I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving LouieV with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is dependable, attentive, and genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches.”
“Brian was awesome with Mello, he continued to keep me updated with pics and status. My little guy was home sick during his stay but Brian did everything possible to help him feel comfortable and was very understanding. I will book again soon”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Marlboro
They were great with Bailey!! She had such a good time and had fun playing with the other dogs. She wasn’t ready to leave when it was time for pickup. They made sure Bailey was comfortable and communicated to me as well. Would absolutely use them for future bookings!
Lee was a great dog sitter! He was professional, communicative, and made the boarding experience easy and stress-free. I appreciated him taking care of my fur baby and making sure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Lee to other pet parents and would book with him again in the future!
Kelly and Maurice are the absolute best! They are so kind and it’s so clear they love doggos. They treated our baby like their own both times she stayed with them. We always felt like our fur baby was well taken care of and being loved because Kelly and Maurice sent so many photos of her and gave us consistent updates about her progress. Their doggie apartment is also very cute and cozy! We’re so glad to have found our baby’s home away from home ☺️
I had such a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. She treated my pup like her own and kept me updated throughout the stay, and sent pictures! Cash was happy, comfortable, and so very relaxed! Obviously, he felt right at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We’ll be back!
Chelsea is simply amazing! From the moment we met her at the door, she was so warm and friendly. It immediately put me at ease. Her home is spotless, smells wonderful, and has such a clean, professional, and welcoming vibe. This was our first time leaving Dallas with anyone other than family, and Chelsea made us feel so comfortable that we actually enjoyed our vacation without worry. She sent us daily pictures, videos, and sweet little updates about how his day was going which meant the absolute world to us. Knowing Dallas was in a great environment and in such capable hands made all the difference. If you're looking for top-notch pet care, book with Chelsea. She's five stars all around and will not disappoint!
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!
