“Kelly & Maurice took great care of my little again and he came home happy and worn out. They treated my Louie like he was one of their own dogs and sent me plenty of pics and videos during his stay. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”
“The Hopkins are phenomenal! Very kind, caring, and nurturing. The experience was wonderful. Jax was cared for so well he didn't want to come back home lol. I was updated throughout the day. I definitely will bring Jax back to more services again.”
“Antavia was so great! Penny really had a good time and was well taken care of. I’m always nervous when I have to leave her but Antavia put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with her 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!”
“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.”
“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“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.”
“WE WERE TURNED AWAY BY SOOOO MANY SITTERS... I checked the schedule of every sitter before making contact to ensure that they were available. I made contact with at least 10 sitters and got "I'm out of town" or no response at all. The issue was my dog was asked not to return to a commercial kennel "Muddy Paws." There was no violence or aggressive behavior, just anxiety shown by barking, howling, tipping food, and water. But all of this is in Ash's bio, and finally, someone was real enough to tell me. "After reading your dogs bio, I don't feel comfortable with him." So I gave up and started to cancel a much needed family vacation. Then I got a small sign and tried Lindsay. She was the only one who asked, "What happened at Muddy Paws?". From there, we exchanged texts, and she asked if we could have a meet and greet that day. We had a wonderful meet and greet, and she took Ash for our vacation. And from there, we were thoroughly impressed. We got pictures, videos, and text messages. My wife actually got a little jealous due to how comfortable Ash looked and smiled in every picture. Plus, he found a new best friend in her dog, Remi. Now, if you are curious to know how Ash did, I highly recommend you ask Lindsay. She even went as far as to write something the other sitters could read that would educate them on Ash's behavior. And we appreciate that so much. BUT AS LONG AS LINDSAY IS A SITTER, ASH DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SITTERS. THANKS YOU, Lindsay, from the entire Jones family.”
“Sabrina was literally a God send. We were in an emergency situation and Sabrina stepped in immediately. She loved on our babies and accommodated them like they were her own. I think we found our forever Rover sitter.”
“🤗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.🐶”
“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.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Monica. Very professional, her attention to detail to ensure the safety of my fur baby and others was outstanding. Communication skills was excellent, when I had to reach out to her she responded quickly and made sure I understood everything. The main thing that I loved. was the report card!!! yes, she will send you a report card to let you know how your pet is doing plus picture. A+ will definitely use again.”
“Princess was our first intro into Rover and she was great! Princess displayed a genuine love and care for our sweet boy. We appreciated how communicative she was by keeping us updated with regular photos and reports, which put us at ease. Princess's service exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, we would recommend Princess!”
“Nipun was an incredible caregiver for my two pups. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos of their stay and kept me updated. They had an amazing time and were well cared for! I’m very grateful to her!”
“Aaron and Tia were amazing with our pups! They went the extra mile and were extremely responsive and helpful with any needs the dogs had while we were on our honeymoon. I highly recommend them for exception care and a stress free trip!”
About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.
“Crystal was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she did a thorough meet and greet and was incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease trusting her with my senior dog. Throughout the stay, she sent frequent updates with pictures and detailed descriptions, which I really appreciated. My dog looked so happy, especially getting to socialize with other dogs. I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Marla did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Caramel. She sent photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Marla and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

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!
We recently relocated to the area and needed a sitter for the holiday weekend for our dog. Even with a family emergency Donna was still willing to take her in for the weekend. I appreciated the flexibility and will rebook for the next trip. Don’t hesitate and book now.
My two pups had an amazing time! Alejandro took wonderful care of my babies and provided daily pics/videos and updates. I have Frenchies, so they are high maintenance but Alejandro was attentive to their needs and was cautious and mindful of their exposure to the warm weather, ensuring they were always safe. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them!
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!
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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Upper Marlboro sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Upper Marlboro landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
