“Megan & Jake took such good care of Willa while we were visiting for a funeral. I didn’t have to worry at all about her and she had Dunkin to play with! Will definitely contact them again in the future for care 👍🏻”
“Angelene and her family are the best thing that happened to me this year! Without her I would never have been able to have my Goober! She treats him as if he was her own and has watched him as long as I've had him :) I am so greatful! She is the best; truly the best! ”
About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
“Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”
About: What sets me apart is my six years of experience caring for my rescue dog, who is sensitive and shy. This has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to create a calm environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m especially good at working with dogs that require extra reassurance and care. Working part-time from home allows me to keep a flexible routine for the pets I care for. I’m home most of the day, so I can follow their schedule closely — from walks and feeding times to playtime and rest — making sure they always feel safe and loved. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, have access to fresh water, and enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“Cali was amazing with Walter! It was his (and our) first time having an in home daycare provider and Cali could not have been better! Between the pictures and her reassuring nature, we feel so lucky that Walter got to stay with her! Thank you!”
“Sarah is great!!! One of our boys is nervous in new places and she say with him and made him feel very comfy. We felt likes the boys were in amazing hands and would recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Our golden retriever puppy, Loki had the BEST time in Tarina’s care! He was extremely comfortable there and was treated like part of the family. We are excited to have Tarina watch him again soon! :)”
“Tyler was great, our dog is 4 months old high energy pup who hasn’t met other dog yet. Tyler was comforted with his dogs being the first. He sent us a video of the dogs play and having a great time. We were nervous leaving him with someone for the first time but after meeting Tyler we were sure he was a perfect choice. We will definitely call on him again.”
About: My husband and I love dogs! Our dog, Alfred, is like one of our children. We have two young girls who have grown up with Alfred. We live in a single family home with a fully fenced back yard on 3/4 of an acre. We love being outside and frequently play in the back yard and go for walks. I work from home, so I will be here all day with your pup except for when I drop off and pick up our girls from daycare. We took a little break from watching dogs through rover due to moving homes and having a new born but we are back and excited to watch your pup. Please let me know if you have any special requests!
About: I have dog sat, dog walked, and cared for animals since I was in my teens! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and understand their different personalities and needs. I took animal science in school and foster so I am comfortable with different meds and cares. I currently have a flexible schedule as a home nurse who travels intermittently through the day! My schedule varies which makes it flexible. I also am free most weekends and evenings! My animals are well loved and cared for in their home. They are always made to feel safe and comfortable. I know how to respect boundaries and follow rules. I aim to please and only want the best for your furry children.
“Emma was so sweet with Puddin' - just the kind of energy that makes my nervous standard comfortable. She was also very flexible with me as I needed to drop off Puddin' way later than originally planned.”
“Tania was very helpful and kind and patient with my fur baby. I really appreciate her. She is a great sitter. I would recommend her to everybody. I am glad I met her. look forward to using her in the future.”
“First time allowing my puppy anywhere without me. Rachel updated me with photos of him enjoying himself and when I picked him up he was beat from such a fun fulfilled day! I will use Rachel and her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bel Air
Kathy gave such wonderful care to my dog! She took us in rather last minute and agreed to board my Lala for two days and one night. I had only just rescued my dog two weeks before her stay with Kathy, so I really didn’t know yet how my dog would do with daycare. She proved to be quite a handful and that’s probably an understatement. Despite Lala’s anxiety and antics, Kathy kept my girl for the whole booking, took her for many walks, supervised lots of playtime, and most importantly kept her safe. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates as well. I suspect that many other sitters would have terminated our booking early, as my dog began her shenanigans less than an hour after I dropped her off. Which would have meant leaving work 11 hours early and calling out the next day too. I’m very grateful to Kathy for her excellent care and commitment during what I know was a challenging and stressful weekend! Thanks again, Kathy!!
We are so grateful for Megan and Jacob! We had a last minute request which they were able to accommodate! Then, we needed them unexpectedly the very next day and they were able to make it work! Thank you so much for everything and especially for taking good care of our fur baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bel Air on Rover is $94.35 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bel Air. 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 Bel Air 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 1,075 sitters in Bel Air, 89% 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.
