About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience as a former dog owner. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy learning each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m also interested in animal behavior and care, so I see pet sitting as an opportunity to continue learning while giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. As a full-time college student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to care for pets around my class schedule. I plan ahead to make sure I can dedicate enough time and attention to each pet I care for. When you leave your pet in my care, I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping things clean and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

“Pepper has enjoyed her stays with Nasheia and Nina so much that we have made it a weekly thing. With other sitters I would drop pepper off and she would run back to me to pick her up and not want to leave. As soon as Pepper saw Nina she forgot all about me. She comes home happy and tired from all her playing.”

My hours can be flexible to the needs of my client and their pets. I can help monitor behavior and safety in the home while you are away. I will ensure proper nutrition and enrichment to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved! Because i work in the veterinary medical profession…As a client, you get to utilize my veterinary education for the best care of your pet! ****But do keep in mind….I cannot provide medical advise…i.e. diagnose nor treat your pet. That is the role of your licensed medical professional 🖤

About: Hi I'm Glo and I love furry friends! I grew up with lots of pets in the home and I care for the strays in local communities. Nothing compares to a fluffy feline or a cuddly canine by your side. In my spare time I volunteer with the Humane Rescue Alliance as a foster fur parent. Previously I used to do in- home and overnight pet sitting on a similar app and for close friends. Meeting and making furry friends is not new to me nor does it ever get old. I can make your pet feel right at home while you can have a peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Let's start a furry friendship today! My current schedule allows for open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. With 24/7 supervision I'm available for boarding both overnight and longer stays to make your dog feel right at home. Im in a 5 bedroom home with minimal space being occupied. I have a 6 foot secured privacy fence surrounding a fairly large yard. I reserve separate areas by size and temperament or can also easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy spending time with them! I have a dog of my own that I’ve been caring for over the past year, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. From feeding and going on walks to playtime and giving lots of attention, I’m familiar with the everyday responsibilities of caring for a dog. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕 I’m currently in College and I also work part-time. I’m usually available in the day time, evening and nights on Friday and the weekends. I sometimes am available during the week as well when I come home from college. Feel free to reach out and ask for my current availability for the week, it varies depending on my classes. Although, most of the time i’m available. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel loved and cared for. I pay close attention to their needs, follow any instructions or routines provided by their owners, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel safe and comfortable while treating them with the same love and patience I give my own dog! 🐾💕

About: Absolutely — the experience is strong. I’d make it sound a little more polished while keeping your personality and making you stand out on Rover: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 13, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💙 I have experience with proper nutrition and feeding, exercise, long walks, basic puppy training, and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for sick pets that required insulin injections and medication, so I understand how important it is to follow their routines and pay attention to even the smallest changes. I’m also experienced with dogs who may display aggressive or reactive behaviors. I understand that aggression can be triggered by fear, stress, anxiety, or other situations, and I take the time to learn each dog’s triggers and boundaries to keep everyone safe and comfortable. And there’s more—I’m a professional dog groomer! ✂️🐶 So whether your furry baby needs exercise, companionship, medication, a little training, or a fresh new look, I’ve got you covered. Think of me as your pet’s one-stop shop for love, care, and everything in between! 🐾💙 My schedule fluctuates often but rest assured, I balance my time and devote myself to my clients. All my time is catered to caring for animals I treat my clients animals as if they were my own babies. When your babies are in my possession, expect safety and plenty of love.

About: I grew up in a small village which gave me the opportunity to take care of all types of animals including horses, birds, dogs, and cats. I have had my dog Gucci for 11 years now ( he lives with my family overseas) and was taking care of 2 very adorable stray dogs Rex ,Angel ,and a cat named olive. Angel can’t see in one eye so he needed all the help he could get. After taking care of them for about a year I decided to find them their forever homes. Rex, olive ,and angel were adopted by two warm and loving homes. Before leaving them I made sure that they were given proper care and the attention they need. I have a flexible hybrid working schedule which allows me to spend most of my time at home, giving me plenty of time to spend with my fur buddies. I have a big backyard that is fenced with space for dogs to run around. I don’t leave pets outside unattended. Inside the house I like dogs to be as comfortable as possible and to roam around freely.

Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Upper Marlboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Upper Marlboro is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $50 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 15,065 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Upper Marlboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Upper Marlboro choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Upper Marlboro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Upper Marlboro. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
