“Needed last minute doggy day care for my 2 dogs and Mindy graciously opened up her home to them! During the day I got updates on how much fun they were having! They came back home and crashed the rest of the day!”
“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.”
About: I offer a comfortable cozy home to all dogs and also plenty of play time/walks. I have been a reliable sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years with multiple repeat dogs who I love as my own! I work from home and have a flexible job that allows me to care for your pup all day. We have a large fully fenced backyard with tons of space to run around and have fun. The dogs love to hang out with us on the deck. My home is a safe, fun, and very clean space to be in. Because I am home all day working remotely, I am able to go on walks very frequently and your dog will always be tended to! Dogs are welcome on all furniture and free to snuggle up in bed or the couches. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space. I have a very open communication style and will send frequent updates through the day. You will be sure to receive pictures and videos through your pets entire stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.
“Caden is an incredible sitter. He kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy started off shy, and Caden knew exactly how to support him — even hand‑feeding him to make sure he ate despite being nervous. His home is welcoming, and his mom is just as sweet and attentive with the dogs. I highly recommend him and will definitely book again. 10/10.”
“Huan was such great help taking care of my dog for 3 days. She was very communicative about his day and always sending me pics and videos of his day. Will totally recommend her as a pet sitter and I am sure we will be coming back again :).”
“Gail and Kris were amazing! They were very easy to work with and very prompt and clear in their communications! Their place is a clean and friendly home that I felt very comfortable to leave our puppy! It is nicely situated near trails and a lake so lots of interesting walks! They sent adorable videos and pics they out the day! They genuinely loved taking care of our little one!”
“Yuhui took great care of Miso, played with her, and gave Miso a lot of attention. She gave us a detailed report on what Miso did during her time there and took her out on multiple walks. Miso enjoyed spending her time there.”
“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.”
About: There's no place like home but if you can't be there, your pets should be here. My goal is to make the time they spend here enjoyable. I take the responsibility very seriously of providing outstanding care and ensuring the safety of your pets. I'm very familiar with several methods that help reduce the separation anxiety that many pets experience when away from you and their home as well. Whether you’re going on vacation, buisness trip or just need a hand, I'm dedicated to making sure you won't need to worry about them at all. My top priorities are the exact same as yours: the safety, comfort and happiness of your friends whenever their here. There's extra dog beds, bowls and plenty of toys etc.. around for them. When we're out walking, I pay special attention to the surroundings to watch out for other dogs that are off of their leashes roaming, bike riders etc... You can let me know if there are activities they especially enjoy...walks, playing catch, afternoon naps etc...and I'll take care of the rest. If your pet has exibited reactivity issues during walking or other activities, I'll keep an eye out for it and keep other pets at a distance so there are no problems. Many pets who visit are endlessly entertained by all of the action at the park directly across the street. They spend time sitting at the front window watching everything that passes by, There's no need for your pup to be crate or cage trained but it's fine if they are. One of the absolute great features here are the various ramps we have leading inside and outside for pets that are older or have mobility issues. I've had many dogs, cats and others at all different energy and age levels throughout my life including beagles, pitbulls, poodles, cats and many others. I'll care for yours the same as if they were my own, giving them the attention they deserve so they don't experience any anxiety. They'll be allowed to hang out pretty much all over the house, including sitting on the couch if you allow it. If your pup loves walks, parks, creeks, playing catch and fenced yards, this is the right place for them. I currently don’t have any pets of my own and I'd be happy to care for yours. If you've been searching for the right place, you've found it. I'm always available to schedule a meet and greet for introductions. If you have a chance, please check out the photo gallery to see some of our buddies enjoying their time in the house, the parks and surroundings etc... If you would like any other information or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch anytime. Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing you soon. When you're pets are here, they're part of the family. I always take the time to make sure that all pets receive the attention they deserve. With so many options when it comes to having your pet watched while you're away or busy. I try to provide the best one by delivering a great experience and atmosphere whenever they visit. I do my best to be flexible whenever possible with schedules. You don't have to worry about being early or late with drop-offs and pick- ups. I try to keep everything as convenient as possible. My main goal is to keep your pets safe, anxiety-free and comfortable at all times. I want this to be a place they enjoy visiting. Now you can finally take the trip you've been waiting to take. There's nothing better than spending time away without the anxiety of worrying about your pet’s safety and happiness. That's my focus. I try to keep them occupied with various activities during the day and evening. They have a fenced yard to explore and play in, a park right across the street where we take long walks, extended trails with a creek area to explore, and more. If your dog occasionally acts uncomfortable or anxious around other dogs or people, I'll make sure to walk them in isolated-unpopulated areas. I've had a few dogs just like this so I understand how to work with these situations. I always keep things safe as my first priority. If pets don't seem to get along that well, they can remain separated as necessary. There's plenty of room here and I make sure everything is dog proof, including making sure there's nothing they can get into on the counters or floors.( I know some dogs are like magicians and are very good at reaching things anywhere) If you have any questions or would like any other information please let me know anytime. I do my very best to make any stay for pets enjoyable and safe.
“Ingrid was fantastic with Zazu! Also very responsive and accepted last-minute booking and sent tons of pictures and videos. If I am ever in the area again, I will surely be going to her.”
“Katherine was seriously a life save for our 3 month puppy Finn. We unexpectedly realized we could not take our puppy to an event and she had a quick response and was willing to take care and watch our puppy. We are incredibly grateful to have found Katherine. Couldn’t recommend her enough and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Gena is amazing! She has cared for our puppy multiple times and he loves going over to her home and also playing with her dog. She communicates often and quickly with updates, she’s understands and respects the boundaries we have for our dog, and she is accommodating and flexible to our schedules. 10/10 recommend!”
“Nithya was absolutely fantastic! We had a crazy day with moving, so our timeframe got a little messed up from the original plans. She was super accommodating and flexible with all the changes! She definitely went above and beyond and I truly appreciate her taking care of my sweet boy! We will definitely use Nithya again! :)”

“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!”

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.

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.
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 .
