“Veronica and her husband were fantastic with our dog, Louie! He was shy at first and they were patient and kind in helping him get comfortable. By the end of the day, he was playing with them as well as the other dogs. Veronica was very responsive and has great communication. The house is also very clean and well set up for a comfortable hang out for the dogs! We will definitely be returning! Thank you, again!”

“Kristen was super friendly, responsive and flexible, asked lots of questions about Finn, and clearly loves animals! Finn can be a bit anxious when with a new sitter, and he didn’t hesitate to run right up to her and make himself at home. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Finn with Kristen and was confident through his stay that he was being not just well taken care of but also getting lots of love and attention. I’d highly recommend Kristen!”

About: I adopted my first dog when I was 12, and the rest, as they say, is history! I have experience pet sitting for neighbors and friends, from puppies to senior dogs, including animals with medication needs. When I haven't had dogs of my own, I've been involved with fostering to get both cats and dogs ready for their forever home. I'm a hybrid worker with a flexible work schedule, so I'm available throughout the day, for whatever your pet(s) need, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon play session, or meals at specific times of the day! I have a small fenced in patio, and I'm open to working with you to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. I have experience with obedience training, crate training, and animals with special requirements, and I will do whatever is necessary to meet your pet's individual needs.

About: 10 years fostering dogs with a local shelter—puppies, medical cases, reactive dogs, seniors, and the shy ones who need extra patience. My favorites are large dogs and blockheads (staffies, rotties, pit mixes), though a small dog sneaks in now and then (frenchies, Havanese, corgi, etc). I'm new to Rover but not to petsitting. I've cared for dogs from families who adopted my fosters for years, and I've been active on Wag! At my house, dogs get on the furniture, play hard, and get spoiled. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and ear massages come standard. My goal is to send your dog home happy, loved and tired. I'm self-employed and work from home when dogs stay with me. (My clients are used to dogs making an appearance during Zoom calls.) I'm a runner so long walks with dogs is just part of the fitness routine. I match my schedule to your dog's feeding and bathroom schedule. Every dog that comes here is treated with patience and care. Some arrive nervous, anxious, or unsure—maybe a potty accident in a new space, maybe hesitant to settle. My job is to help them feel safe, give them time to decompress, and meet them where they are. When they're ready, I'm here for play and snuggles. I have a fenced yard and my property backs up to a park. Dogs get regular walks, plus potty breaks. If a dog needs shorter, lower-key outings, we do on-leash trips to the park right behind the house. If your dog is reactive, we do backyard potty breaks and walk off-peak hours on a specific path to minimize potential sightings of other dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and they soon become part of the family, that is my number one priority when pet-sitting! I’m a recent Baltimore/Fells Point transplant and I now have the ability and space to pet-sit comfortably. I work mostly from home so I am capable of watching over your loved pets for longer periods of time as well. The majority of the week I work remotely from home and therefore am able to focus on daily and weekday pet care routines. I am also a dog owner to a 6 year old Golden Retriever and I make sure he receives proper walks and breaks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings and would commit to that level of care an more for your loved pets. I currently live in a rowhome with a decently sized and fenced back yard for your pet to run and play in, bonus points if your pet enjoys the company of my own golden retriever and loves to play fetch! I have ample living space and multiple dog beds for relaxation as well as a designated room in case a pet needs to be crated or boarded in.

“Karla was absolutely amazing with Sausage. Sausage is a very elderly dog with mobility and anxiety issues and Karla was able to care for and watch over him with patience and persistence, trying multiple ways to calm and soothe him until he was eventually able to settle down. I don’t trust my little pup with just anyone, and Karla never once gave me reason to worry. Clear communication from the get-go with multiple updates throughout the stay. I can’t say enough good things about Karla. We will definitely be asking her to watch Sausage again in the future!”

About: Hi there! As a lifelong pet parent, I’ve had the joy having both dogs and cats. I truly love them both—dogs with their adventurous, loyal spirits and cats with their quirky, independent charm. When you trust me with your furry family members, I’ll give them all the same love, attention, and respect I give my own pets. I’ll ensure their environment is clean, safe, and enriching, with plenty of socialization, exercise, and affection tailored to their needs. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves playtime or a cozy cat who enjoys quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel happy and secure until you return home. 💖 I work from home, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. My flexible schedule means I can provide attentive, care throughout the day, making sure your pets are well-fed, exercised, and loved. Caring for your pets naturally fits into my routine with my own two pets, as we enjoy regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles together throughout the day. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pets are comfortable, safe, and happy! I follow your specific instructions, from feeding and exercise routines to medication and cleaning needs. I also make sure to address any potential safety concerns and give your pet plenty of love, attention, and play time! For boarding in my home, I have a spacious, three-bedroom house where your pet can feel secure and loved. My home is pet-friendly and designed with safety in mind. Both of my own pets—a 4-year-old Beagle/Rottie mix and a 9-year-old cat—are great with other animals. However, I also have plenty of space to separate them from your pet if needed.

About: I have always taken care of pets since I was 8 years old along with growing up with animals in my household. I taught my former roommate cat to sit for treats and in the next year I am looking to get my license for animal training. I have always loved taking care of animals and am excited to help take care of yours. Adding your animal to my family and always treating your pet like my own with the same love and respect as my own. I am very flexible with others schedules and how late or early feedings are or walks. I take animals very seriously in addition with giving them the same love you'd give them at home during your daily reutine.

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have fostered and volunteered with BARCS and am patient with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable in new environments. I absolutely love finding ways to engage dogs through enrichment activities, playtime, and outdoor adventures! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adjust my routine to fit the needs of your pet. My spouse, who also is a major dog lover, and I sit as a team to ensure that we can accommodate your pet’s ideal schedule! I have an adorable dog named Taz who loves to host new friends! Taz’s love for other dogs is actually the reason we are on Rover as sitters…he loves when new friends come to visit ❤️

About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have not only grown up with dogs my entire life, but I’ve spent the last 1.5 years raising my mini dachsund puppy Lilo since she was 8 weeks old. I grew up with Labrador Retreivers so I love dogs of all sizes. I’ve dealt with sickness and potty training and barking and everything in between. I also use Rover myself and understand the trust you are placing in a stranger to care for your pet (your baby!) and I take that very seriously. I will treat your dog the same way I’d want a sitter to treat my own. I work from home and have flexible work hours, and I enjoy taking Lilo on 4 walks per day (pre-9am, 1pm, 5pm, and 9pm). In between, I have a fenced in backyard for bathroom breaks. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and so is my dog Lilo! She is very playful and enjoys cuddling and roughhousing with other dogs. No need to worry - she is only 10lbs but enjoys dogs of all sizes. I try to make 2 of the 4 walks about one hour, and the other two 20 minutes. In addition, I’ll spend some time cuddling and playing with toys to make your dog feel loved and comfortable. I allow my dog lilo on all furniture and on my bed, and she is only crated if I leave. If you have a puppy I would also crate your dog if I need to leave as well, but if your dog is fully potty trained I will allow both dogs to be out of the crate together if I am gone (if they are comfortable around each other). If I am dogsitting for you I will never leave my house for longer than two hours at a time, and most days the dogs won’t leave my side. My apartment is quite small but there’s enough space to run and stretch out and walk around. I live alone so no need to worry about kids or roommates.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Baltimore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Baltimore is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per day. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,993 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Baltimore. 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 Baltimore 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,993 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MD. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,993 sitters in Baltimore, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
