“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would recommend !”
“Nick provided excellent care for Maverick while I had to attend an in-person work meeting for the day. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and he sent the best pictures of Maverick enjoying himself. It was clear Maverick was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I truly appreciate the attention and care Nick provided, especially with Maverick still being a puppy. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for reliable and caring puppy-watching services!”

About: I’m a lover of dogs who has been caring for and training dogs for 10 years. My experience came from dogs of my own along with dogs of friends and family members. In the past I have ventured into breeding and training. I currently have one dog name Princess who is on a raw food diet due to some digestive health issues. Princess is extremely calm and playful and loves a bunch of affective and her is daily as will your pup. My wife and daughter are very loving and go on family walks around our subdivision daily and can’t wait to include your pup into our routine. We are a extremely clean and tidy family so do not expect to get your pup back smelling bad or looking a mess. I currently work remotely so there is always time to go for walks during the day as it is necessary to get some sunshine and exercise for the pets and for me to get away from the computer screen. Please let me know what works best for you and what accommodations are needed for your pet and I will make sure it is taken care of. I have a comfortable home and an extremely friendly and playful dog name Princess. I have a nice size backyard in a great neighborhood to take walks in. I am huge with communication as it is important for you to know that the furry member of your family is good and safe while in my care. I can send pictures and text message updates if desired and I am also accepting of calls to check in.
“Our pupper enjoyed his day stay and really got to stretch his legs in such a large yard. We received regular updates and felt at ease leaving him in such capable hands.”
About: I am energetic and eager to care for your animals on walks and play time. I am very patient and calm and loving towards animals Morning and all day on weekends! Early morning walks and mid days walks prior to 12 are perfect with my schedule. I also have availability on weekends for those who may be going away. Loving each animal like it’s my own and catering to their every need. I promise to provide the best care possible for the animals in your life.
“Antavia is amazing! I appreciate how she responds in a timely manner, especially when booking a service many times there are other plans that are contingent on the confirmation. She made sure that my process was smooth and I had all the details that I needed. This is my dog‘s first time being cared for by someone who is not a family member or close friend so I was nervous and so was he at drop off. Although I was not present for the drop off, she showed my mother around the area that he would be staying in so everyone felt comfortable. She also provided videos and updates during his stay. I believe I have found a permanent dog sitter as long as she provides these services.”
About: I've been a dog lover since childhood and a dog owner for over 10 years. As a kid, I begged for a dog every birthday and Christmas, but never got one. I promised myself that when I was older, I’d get a dog—and that’s exactly what I did! For the past 10 years, I’ve had my own dog, training and caring for him since he was 8 weeks old. Through caring for my dog and others, I’ve learned how important it is to have a reliable, patient, and loving dog-sitter. I also understand the convenience and accessibility Rover provides, as finding the right boarding facility or dog-sitter can often be difficult and expensive. With over 10 years of experience in sitting, walking, and boarding, I offer a loving, dependable service for dogs—big or small, young or old. Rest assured your dog will be in great hands with me! I work full time 8:30- 4:30. I am 100% remote and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to weekday, weekend and overnight care. I have a 10 year old cockapoo with the energy of a 2 year old! He is just as playful as he is chill; just depends on if balls are around to fetch! He is very easy going and gets along well with younger and older dogs. I have 3 story townhome with a fenced backyard. I have mostly wood floors and carpet in bed rooms. I have enough space to for crates, playpens or whatever set up you prefer for your pup.
“This was Duncan’s second time spending the day with Lisa and he had the best time! Lisa is great at communication and always responds immediately to messages. She provides regular updates and I feel assured knowing Duncan is in such great hands!”
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.
“We had a great experience with Yasheen! He was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking and Fuzzy had a great time! Will definitely trust Yasheen with dog sitting again!”
About: As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most of the day, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I have a doodle that loves to play with other dogs! I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.
“Rex and Roxy had a great day! I hadn't left my pups with anyone in years, so I was nervous about this one. Qingbo made it easy. The updates were so thorough, with potty breaks, meals, and water all tracked, and the photos made me smile. Rex and Roxy came home happy and relaxed. I'll definitely be booking again!”
About: I’m a proud dog parent to Moonie, my very smart 3 year old Maltipoo, and I also live with a 4 year old Pomeranian — so yes, my house is basically dog approved. I love walks, dog parks, treats, and teaching Moonie new tricks. I’ll treat your pup like family, with lots of love, patience, and probably a few compliments ❤️🥰💕 I work in the office some days, but I’m mostly remote and home with the pups. There’s always time for potty breaks, playtime, little backyard zoomies, and cuddle breaks.. so basically, the dogs have a better schedule than we do 😂 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard — perfect for quick potty breaks or a little zoomies session. My neighborhood is safe and great for walks. I always clean paws after potty breaks, keep fresh pee pads available and changed daily, and yes… dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“I love when I can leave my pup with a sitter who has children in the home. I think pups and kids are great for each other. Trynae and her son provided our puppy with the love and attention he needed. My only suggestion for dog owners (who aren’t in a rush like I was) and pet sitters is to see/show where the pet will be in the home. Trynae provided pics which made me feel he was comfortable indoors and outdoors.”

Alison and her husband were wonderful! Such friendly people and great dog sitters. They made my dog feel right at home and sent us updates and pictures which we really appreciated! In addition, she helped us out last minute. She’s very reliable and I would definitely recommend booking with her!
Another great stay with Nick! Maverick is always well cared for, comfortable, and happy when he’s with him, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Nick has been consistently reliable, patient, and kind with Maverick, and I’m so grateful to have had someone I could trust with him. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking for someone dependable and genuinely caring to watch their dog!
Heather was absolutely amazing! She watched my dogs, Rayo and Mochi, on very short notice and took great care of them. She was reliable, kind, and made the whole process stress-free. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
Jayme was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog! She was very communicative, thoughtful, and patient. She even worked in a last-minute schedule change on my end. Jayme shows she really cares about your pets. That gave me a piece of mind that my dog was in great hands. Thank you Jayme!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bowie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Bowie is $38 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 5,218 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bowie. 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 Bowie 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 5,218 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.

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.
