“Lauren was amazing and Kai came home super tired! Lauren sent pictures and updates throughout the day and took excellent care of him! She is professional, caring and very communicative. Kai had so much fun playing with the other dogs and running around the big, fenced areas! We felt extremely comfortable leaving him there and will be booking again soon.”
About: To this day I am shocked by and grateful for how much love and joy our pets, Ovie and Ashe, bring into our home. I know that being away from them is never easy, so it is my goal to provide your pet with the care and adventure they expect, and to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding throughout the week and look forward to excuse for some more time outdoors. I have a nice yard on a quiet street. While our yard is unfenced, your fur-friend will never be unsupervised. Inside our home we have two friendly dogs to keep yours entertained. We love being outside and have nearby walking paths and trails accessible for tons of sights, sounds, and smells!
About: I’ve cared for and lived with dogs of all kinds for the past 15 years! Friends and neighbors have asked me to care for their pets. Your pup will join up with mine for a day of chase, catch, and zoomies in our huge fenced yard. Potty breaks, treats, and rest time in between. :) I have a fenced yard. My playful puppy sleeps in her crate, naps on the couch, and eats in the kitchen. We have lots of indoor and outdoor toys.
“Maria and Fernando are very accommodating. They looked after my three Yorkies and made them feel at home. They sent me lots of pictures throughout the day as they were settling in.”
“Josh and Andreas were so great with our girl Maggie!! She is super social and loved being with them and the other pups. They were so great with sending updates and asked all the right questions. They were a perfect first experience for us using rover and I know Maggie will be so excited to visit again!”
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.
“Cal and Kelly are just amazing. They provided a warm and welcoming environment that Toby just loved. They are very friendly and provide great photos so I knew that Toby was doing great! Definitely a star team!”
“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!”
“Thanks to Jeannie, Poppy had the perfect day of nonstop fun and lots of affection. Poppy took to Jeannie right away and was very comfortable in her home and spacious backyard. When I came to pick her up at the end of the day she proudly showed me the toys she had played with and ran laps around the yard. Jeannie sent me great photos of Poppy and reassuring messages throughout the day. Can’t wait to bring Pops back for a return visit!”
“My wife and I were worried about our newly adopted rescue dog and how he'd react to different surroundings, people, and other dogs. Joy and Rodney made him feel right at home and sent a bunch of pictures showing him interacting with their dogs and other daycare pups. They made us feel comfortable too knowing our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Joy and Rodney and I know we'll be booking with them again.”
“What a incredible experience! So grateful to have met Robyn and her family. Her home was the perfect setting for my Mocha very kind and caring people and Zelda & Navi and chilren was 4 extra bonuses Mocha got to experience as well. Couldn't have gotten a better outcome! Mocha will definitely be coming back :)”
“Jaemin and his wife are so kind. They took my two girls as a last-minute booking and they had so much fun. They loved their backyard the most, and I could tell they received lots of affection. My dogs will be begging me to bring them back to them.”
About: I've been pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family since I was 10. I'm very good with animals. When I’m boarding, I try to prioritize your dog or cats wants and/or needs over mine. And try to make it seem like a vacation for them. I live with my father, and my brothers and sisters. We all love animals but don’t have any of our own. So your furry friend is getting the most attention and affection from me and everyone else in the house. I have a backyard to play in (unfortunately not fenced in) and very long walking path near my house. Live right by a creek with paths all around. Dogs love it. Weather I'm taking care of your dog at my house or at yours, he or she has my full undevided attention.
“My dog, Rosie was in good hands with Kelly and her husband. I felt less stressed knowing they took every effort to make her comfortable. Kelly sent me endless updates and pictures of Rosie's stay . This was important to me because this was my first overnight booking with her. Thanks, Kelly. We will be back soon!”
“Rebeka is a LIFE SAVER!! literally reached out to her a day before she’s a fast communicator. Met All my needs, felt very comfortable leaving my King with her. The family loves him. Will def do business again for any accommodation. Would absolutely recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ashton-Sandy Spring
Julia watched our dog Minnie for doggy daycare and it was great. While we were gone Julia was quick to respond and give us updates on how Minnie was doing, and I think Minnie overall enjoyed her time with Julia and her dog Maci (and the other dog Julia was watching along with Minnie). Minnie has epilepsy and can’t be left alone, and Julia was attentive when we gave her instructions on emergency medicine and instructions , etc. We were comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely book with Julia again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria and Fernando are absolutely amazing! They’ve been caring for my 4-year-old, 45 lb hound mix Titus for the past 2–3 years, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better team. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, I always know he’s safe, happy, and having the best time with his furry friends. Maria is fantastic with communication and always keeps me in the loop, and Fernando takes the best photos I love getting updates and seeing how much fun Titus is having. It really gives me peace of mind. They genuinely treat Titus like their own, and it shows in how excited he is every time he goes back. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their fur baby!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ashton-Sandy Spring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,618 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ashton-Sandy Spring. 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 Ashton-Sandy Spring 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 5,618 sitters in Ashton-Sandy Spring, 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.
