“I'm a first time dog mom and get very nervous every time I'm going to leave my dog at someone's house,but Rodney made me feel very comfortable. we got to meet him before our trip and him and his wife were very nice. He was very nice and gave me a quick response to my messages, he even send me nice pictures of my baby everyday. I'll 100% recommend him.”
“Mila was absolutely fantastic and treated Fluffy like her own dog! Our flight was delayed and we couldn't pick him up as scheduled. She was so accommodating and kept him another day. Mila even made him chicken soup for the extra day!! She went above and beyond. Fluffy loves his new grandmother, he barely looked at me when I saw him after a week :)”
“Nice people and beautiful setting, highly recommend for dog boarding! We did not worry about our Luna one second while we were away, knowing she was likely having a wonderful stay! Will definitely use Ashley again!”
“I was thrilled with the care and happiness of my young puppy. The pictures of him playing with others were greatly appreciated. Loved receiving them during my vacation to help with my anxiety of leaving him. Darby is wonderful to talk too and I could see how much she cared for the dogs in her care.”
“James and Mary are great. Our Copper really like them and he feels very safe with them. We plan to use them for all dog watching ventures in the future. A huge thank you to them both. Cat and Kenny”
“Wonderful person and family. Provided lots of pics to ease my mind because this was our first time. Allowed us to do a meet and greet the day before and was so accommodating to his allergy needs. Will definitely use again.”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Chris was great with Koto. This was a last minute booking and also our first time using Rover. We were pleasantly surprised. Chris was wonderful with Koto and provided pictures and updates daily. When we picked up Koto he was the same energetic friendly boy and his stool was not soft or diarrhea (results of a previous bad boarding experience). And Chris made Koto his own personalized bag with his name and picture on the bag. How special is that! This was a great experience and we will definitely be using Chris in the future! .”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter with our pups!!!! Daily updates and pictures!!! Was wonderful in making us feel like our babies were in good hands!!!!”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“Kassandra and her little guy took amazing care of my fur baby, Jax. From the photos, I could tell he was super comfortable and happy with them. She kept me updated every day with pictures and little check-ins about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I truly can’t thank her enough! If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”
“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”
“Mann came back home nice and relaxed he didn’t even want to go for a walk which is not normal for him. He must have had plenty of exercise. I received pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely rebook again.”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
About: Hi there! I’m Courtney – lifelong animal lover, seasoned pet parent, and your pet’s next favorite human. 🐾 From fluffy kittens to wise senior pups, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry (and finned!) friend you can think of - cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits… basically everything except the slithery and scaly crew (sorry, lizards and snakes, you're adorable but not my specialty!). With a lifetime of experience and a current household that includes four cats and two dogs (yes, it’s as wonderfully chaotic as it sounds), I’ve seen it all - from zoomies and belly rubs to insulin shots and joint supplements. I’ve raised pets from their earliest days through to their golden years, including those with special needs like hip dysplasia and diabetes. Administering routine meds and providing compassionate, attentive care is just part of the package. I know firsthand that pets are family, and when you're away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your beloved companions are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet is a snuggly couch potato, an energetic explorer, or a quirky little character with special routines, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s make your time away as stress-free as a sunny nap in a windowsill. ☀️🐕🐈⬛ I have a flexible daytime desk job, allowing me to set my own schedule and typically wrapping each day by 5p so my evenings are free. I'm happily married and my husband also works a flexible day job so he is able to hold down the fort with our pets and teens so that I can take care of your family when you're away! I'd love to provide your pet with drop-in care that suits their individual and unique needs, whether that's going for walks, playing in an enclosed yard, or hanging out for a bit for belly rubs, cuddles, and treats. I'm flexible to each pet's needs and want to be sure they feel loved and cared for in your absence. And of course, it's important to me to be sure they are in a clean, safe, fed environment during the times that I'm not there - whether that means making sure water dishes are full, messes are cleaned up, doors are secured, temperatures are comfortable, etc. I've worked with pets who prefer crate-training to those who are allowed free reign, and am comfortable with whatever YOUR structure is for your pet. If they're happy, I'm happy.
“Ruth and her family were so amazing with my pup! My pup was excited the moment she got there and she was very comfortable with Ruth and her whole family! I needed her to be somewhere where she would have a family to love and play with, and they did not disappoint! Ruth stayed in constant communication with me by sending lots of pictures, and updates on their daily activities. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be rebooking again. Best sitter ever!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Upperco is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $50 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,109 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Upperco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Upperco can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Upperco home-away-from-home, 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 Upperco.
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 Upperco 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 , 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 .
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.
