“Medusa loves spending time at Maria and Fernando’s. Super friendly and loving care with amazing doggy friends for Medusa to play with. They constantly update me on how Medusa is doing and respond to any questions/concerns I have.”
“Very knowledgeable and friendly people. They understand the behavior of a dog and work with them to acclimate them into their house. I was updated with many pictures of Bella playing with all the other dogs. I will definitely use them again!”
“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!”
“Our dog, Walter, is enjoying going to Sharon's house for day care. Sharon has a beautiful yard where he can run. Her four Shelties have made friends with Walter. Sharon loves dogs and provides wonderful day care.”
“Israel took such great care of my puppy! They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. They kept me informed about how he was doing, responded quickly to my messages, and were incredibly friendly. It was clear that my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Israel again and highly recommend them!”

“Maria was so great with our rescue pup! We were nervous to leave our pup with a new sitter but she kept us up to date all day. Maris was a strong communicator and very thoughtful. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter who really cares about dogs and cats and their well being!”
“Arly has been going to Francine's for 2 weeks now and its been Great, she seems very happy and we're very satisfied with her quick transition there. Thanks Francine for your TLC of our baby girl :)”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Jijo and Smitha are ABSOLUTELY the BEST!!!! My Beau spent 4 days with them. He was truly in doggy heaven every single day! They took the BEST pics throughout the day. Every dog should have their experience. I will most certainly be using them again!!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life. Always loved them and loved taking care of them. From puppies to brown dogs, i’ve seen it all. I work and do school remote from home so pet care fits perfect. Taking care of dogs will get me more active and I love a good walk or jog. I treat each pet as if they are my own. With the same love and care I give my dog. Once they come to me they are home.
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Lakshme was terrific, and this will be the only sitter my dog goes to!!!. I usually don’t write reviews unless I had an excellent experience or a terrible experience. I requested a last-minute daycare stay for my three-month-old Yorkipoo with Lakshme because of her excellent reviews. When I tell you all that Lakshme was overly sweet and helpful, she indeed was. I requested the stay at 9:30 am, and she accepted it my 11:00 am. I needed to leave by noon that day, and I expressed that I only wanted my dog to stay with her because of her experience and great reviews. However, she was out eating and told me she could pick my pup up from the house by 1:00 pm if I were okay with that. I said, of course, and she didn’t charge me. She just did it out of the kindness of her heart! She got there precisely at 1:00 pm. My pup was happy to see her. She sent me videos and pics of their introduction, their ride to her house, my pup eating and playing with her dogs. Unfortunately, my plans were canceled, and I had to come back to get my key; she said Zigi could stay until 6:00 pm and play with her dogs. She was a very kind person and my pup’s first dog sitter, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations.”
“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”

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 August 2026, there are 5,558 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 5,558 sitters in Ashton-Sandy Spring, 87% 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.
