Pet Boarding in Upper Marlboro

“This was our first time utilizing Rover and stumbled across April’s profile and decided to use her to take care of our precious Blue. April had amazing energy and greeted us with smiles and hugs! While having a busy wedding weekend April made sure to send us updated pictures each day which put our mind at ease. Blue was very well taken care of and we will be back to give April our business again! Thank you April!”

About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.

“Ylicia was fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and flexible, which made me feel completely at ease leaving my boy with her. She provided regular updates, along with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely rebook with her and highly recommend her to others!”

“Eli was available to watch Ace last minute and it was a tremendous help! Ace is picky but a good judge of character and he took to Eli very quickly. I will definitely be booking again and promise to do so ahead of time!”

“This was our 2nd time with this family and they treated our pup so great! He’s still getting used to being around other dogs and people and they made sure he felt welcome! Their dog was also playful and kind with Pan.”

“Marta was amazing!!! I am a firefighter with a crazy schedule but that didn’t phase her one bit. She accommodated my schedule, and loved my puppy like it was her own. I got pictures throughout the day and updates about how she was doing. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Definitely recommend.”

Jordan O.

“My two dogs where well taken care of, I couldn't have asked for a better provider and care. She provided updates and pictures, and communicated with me everyday. I would definitely recommend and use her 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.”

“I can't say enough good things about Samsara. While we was away, she took such great care of Miles making sure he were well-fed, exercised, and loved. I received regular updates, including pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind.”

“Saint is very comfortable with Stella. She is a very communicative and attentive sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure my sweet boy is comfortable and feels safe. 10/10 would recommend.”

Sydney J.

“Thank you so much for your service!!! She is amazing person. Very easy to talk to, she had such a good care of my golden retriever. My dog needs to wear diaper because of his leaking problems because he’s old doggy. But she did very good care of him. She sent me daily updates and pics. Thank you so much !!!!!”

“Needed a last minute sitter that I felt comfortable leaving my fur family with, Jason and his wife were AWESOME! Great communication, both very friendly. My pup seemed to have a great time playing in their fenced yard. Also, their prices are GREAT! Will use again. THANK YOU!”

“I can’t thank Diego enough for the incredible care he provided for my dog, Zulu, especially after his recent surgery. Diego went above and beyond—making sure Zulu took all his medications on time, preventing him from licking his wound, and giving him the special attention he needed during the healing process. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Zulu was in such capable and compassionate hands. Diego is truly my go-to for both boarding and daycare whenever he’s available. His level of attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care makes all the difference. See you in August!”

“Ashley took a last minute booking for us as we wanted to take our pups somewhere so we could hold an event at our house. She took fabulous care of them and her older son was extremely kind during pick up. We will definitely ask to book her again.”

Robert S.

“This was Rory’s second boarding stay (with some day care days in between). Rory always has a blast with Jonathan and the other dogs. It is great to have a place we are comfortable with and she has a wonderful time.”

Susan E.

“Richard took great care of my Pepper!! He followed all of my care directions and sent daily photos. He was also very responsive. I felt very comfortable that Pepper was in caring hands with Richard especially as Pepper is a very senior dog and is blind. Thank you, Richard, I will absolutely use your services again!!”

Cheryl W.

“Cristina was a phenomenal caretaker for Love. She communicated with me from booking till it was time to pick Love up. I felt at ease going so far away leaving her with a caring family that treated Love as if she was apart of the family. Cristina sent me pictures/videos and daily updates. Love was able to make friends. I would highly recommend Cristina and would definitely have her look over Love again!!”

Nicole C.

“Linda did great with my toy poodle and frenchie. She provided pics and videos daily of the dogs and also walked them a couple times daily. I could see how happy they were to hang out with her pup and the other dogs in company. Would definitely rebook with Linda!”
