About: I’m a recent college graduate with 10 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles. I have the most experience caring for large breed dogs such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and Labradoodle mixes, and I’m confident handling strong, high-energy pets. I also enjoy caring for small dogs and cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. My schedule is flexible, I’m able to now dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I enjoy keeping animals active, engaged, and comfortable throughout the day with walks, playtime, attention, and companionship. As a recent college graduate, I’m able to provide dependable care and make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I prefer creating a calm, loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and part of the family. I don’t like keeping animals caged unless it’s necessary or part of their normal routine, and I always respect each pet’s individual needs and personality. I make time for exercise, play, and affection so pets can burn energy, stay happy, and feel secure while in my care.
“Jeramy is amazing! She is so patient and loving with our girl and her dog Henry is so sweet. What a relief to have someone who is kind and dependable to watch our dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“Julie took good care of my timid pup Sophie. She sent some pics during the day, and Sophie seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. Julie is also very easy to communicate with - a plus. I'll be using her again to care for Sophie.”
“Bria was amazing with my 2 fur babies - one small and one giant. She was extremely accommodating to all my needs and went above and beyond what I expected. I have never had someone be so gracious about last-minute changes and my dogs absolutely loved her! I am so happy that I found Bria to help with my doggies!”
“Cal and Kelly are great! They sent tons of updates during the day and my pup had a blast! She came home all tired out and we will definitely be going back 😁”
“I left my puppy Law for Day Care with Erika and Franklin. They took great care of law from sun up til sun down. They were able follow instructions to a T, responded quickly, asked questions and provided photos throughout the day as requested. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I’ve owned two dogs in my lifetime and watched others dogs outside of my own as well. I love the doggies and they love me! I currently work from home so I have a lot of time to watch pets who need the attention while their loved ones are away. I leave in a secure apartment building that offers designated dog areas. My apartment itself is big enough for he/she to walk around and be comfortable.
“Rebeka did a wonderful job with Lomi! Pick up & drop off was smooth & my dog had such a fun time. I got updated throughout her stay so I was up to date on what she was up to. Lomi was well taken care of & I would definitely book with her again!! 🥰”
“Gabby accepted my last minute request for assistance when my regular sitter was unable to watch my dog while I worked. She took good care of Zoey and did a great job with communicating via the app on Zoey’s progress. I will definitely use Gabby again when my sitter is unable to assist.”
“Yosef is FANTASTIC! He took my request (desperate plea) to sit my pup in the final hour and I couldn’t be happier! Batman was mad at ME to leave and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. I know he had a great time with Yosef and Law and we’re both looking forward to his next visit.”
About: I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized dog care in my home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a quieter environment and extra attention. I follow each dog’s routine closely and take the time to learn their individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, structured, and safe environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I carefully manage introductions, monitor interactions, and prioritize safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication during your dog’s stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the yard, go for walks, or simply relax indoors, I’ll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so their feeding, walks, rest, and play follow familiar routines. This allows me to be fully present, responsive, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment where dogs are closely supervised at all times. My home has a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and dogs are never left unattended outside. I keep care intentionally small-scale so each dog receives individualized attention. I’m comfortable with crating when needed, following detailed instructions, and accommodating special routines or medications. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are always top priorities, and I provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind
“Can't say enough about how great with my shepherd mix puppy and is a true dog lover. She is as responsive and flexible as a host can get, and as a shepherd Mom herself has been a great resource for a new working dog owner. 5 stars for sure.”
“Thank you so much for looking after my energetic pup on such short notice. It was almost like he didn’t want to leave you guys! Would highly recommend. Thanks again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ammendale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,540 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ammendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ammendale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,540 sitters in Ammendale, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
