“We have used Sophia twice now for daytime services and each time, our dog came home safe and happy. It's obvious Sophia has a lot of experience with pet care and gives me confidence in her ability to keep our dog happy. Sophia responds quickly to texts and provides pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophia to any pet parent. In fact, we already have Sophia booked for a long term stay while we go on vacation.”
“I am so bless to have Raghavi P. on Rover. She took excellent care of my toy poodle, Nema. Nema has never been to daycare, and Raghavi P. made me and Nema feel at ease from the very start. She communicated well and even sent me pictures each day. I will definitely use Raghavi P. again and highly recommend her services.”
“Juju received great care. She was happy when we picked her up. Cornell is quick to respond to any questions or to provide updates as requested. He gave great details and feedback on her visit when we picked her up.”
“Sriju is a wonderful person. She gives fantastic care to my dog when Daisy stays on Wednesdays. I'm very happy to have found Sriju. I know my dog will be well cared for when I'm at work. 🐶🤗”
About: Your pup will be in good hands, I will take my time to take very good care of your dog, to take him/her out on walks and runs, play with them till they are ready to take their doggy nap. I will give them all the love and attention they need while they are here at my home. Your pup will have plenty of time to play with my little Yorkie Minnie, shes very playful but also gentle with puppies and she would love to show them around the house and be their companion on daily walks and runs. You will not have to worry about your pup having a good time and going back home to you safe and sound. Thank You so much for trusting me with your cute little puppy! I’m a stay at home mom, so I can be with your pet all day everyday. Starting from 6am till 8pm, I’m available for your pets needs ! I care for your pup with my full attention and joy. I enjoy getting to know them through play and including them in my day to day life.
“Scout felt right at home with Pablo. He was able to go in and outside all day long and had new toys to play with. Pablo took him on several walks and sent pics. Couldn’t be happier!”
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
“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!”
About: 🐕 Individualized Dog Boarding & Care 🐕 Worried about your dog getting lost in the crowd at a sitter's house packed with too many pets? I get it. As a dog mom myself, I believe home stays should mean true one-on-one attention and family-style care, not a mini kennel. _______________________________________ ~~ WHY BOARD/STAY WITH US?~~ + Small Groups, Big Attention: We host a maximum of 2 guest dogs at a time. Your pup gets genuine focus, love, and room to relax without the stress of a crowded home. + Safety First: We always require a pre-booking Meet & Greet. On arrival day, we use a gradual, multi-step introduction process outside and inside the home to make sure every dog feels safe. + Frequent Updates: You’ll get an update right after drop-off so you know your pup is settling in, followed by reliable daily updates and photos & videos. No waiting around or worrying! + Tailored Activity & Enrichment: Since we work from home, we provide frequent neighborhood walks, dedicated indoor playtime, and long-lead outdoor play sessions in our grassy area. Whether your dog needs high energy output or loves to snooze, we adapt to their rhythm. _______________________________________ Leaving your baby behind is tough. Our goal is to give you total peace of mind while treating your dog like a member of our own family. We’d love to meet your pup! Hi, I’m Dianne! I’ve been fostering dogs since 2017 with Fetch WI Rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue (DC). My husband, Jake, and I work from home alongside our resident "foster fail," Kona. Because I work from home, I have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed. I have a mellow 5.5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup! We also allow dogs to have free roam of our home and will sleep in our bedroom at night.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
About: I have been taking care of my personal dogs for over 20 years, since I was a child, I have always had a dog in my house. In the past 5 years, I am the go to person my family and friends go to when they are out of town and they need someone to care for their pet. I recently decided to go back to college to finish my degree, in the mean time, to earn some money I would like to do something with a flexible schedule and something I enjoy, which is taking care of pets! The way I would care for someone’s pet is with love and attention, that is something I would expect as a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are and how important they are to a family. Prefer if dogs are crate trained, although they will be free to roam during the day I prefer they sleep on a crate since it is the only time of the day I cannot keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe. I work full time from home and am able to spend time with dogs! I am able to provide short-term and/or long-term walks twice a day when caring for your dog. I am able to handle both small and large breeds. I prefer if your dog is comfortable with other dogs as I own a Samoyed puppy. My dog is free to roam around my apartment but sleeps in a crate when it’s bedtime or when unsupervised. Also do take him out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours and goes on 1-2 long walks a day (45 mins to an hour). Can provide more potty breaks/walks to your dog as requested. I would prefer if your dog is crate trained so they can sleep in crate to make sure they are safe during the night. During the day they have full supervision to make sure they are safe! I know carrying a crate is not easy, I have additional crate for them to sleep in! My wife and I recently crate trained our 7 month old Samoyed puppy, we can help your dog as well 😊
“Dawn was an incredible sitter! She kept me updated throughout the entire process with great communication, photos, and videos of Scooby. She even gave him three toys- so thoughtful! I’d definitely recommend her.”
“Vinay has taken excellent care of my Shih tzu. I was able to tell that she felt at home and received love, attention and plenty of play time. I really appreciate Vinay sharing pics. and videos during the day. Thank you Vinay !”

I highly recommend Chash C.! They took wonderful care of my 16-year-old toy poodle and gave her the extra patience, attention, and love that an elderly dog needs. I was especially grateful that they were able to accommodate us on such short notice. Before her stay, they arranged a meet-and-greet so we could get to know each other and make sure our dogs would be a good fit. That thoughtful step immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my precious girl in their care. Throughout her stay, they sent pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for she was. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, and truly cares about your pet, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Chash C. again!
We are very happy with Rhea. She did a great job caring for Cocomelon and provided pictures and a video. This helped put me at ease since this was the first time I have left my little Cocomelon with someone I did not know previously. She provided a card so I could see what she did during her time with my pet. Thank you.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Boyds is $49 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $52 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.

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 Boyds 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 5,036 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 .
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 , 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 .
