“My husband and I am so grateful to have found such an amazing doggy daycare and sitter for our Ace! Sophia has been so pleasant and so helpful to our family with our dog. We trust Sophia 100%. She genuinely cares and very knowledgeable about dogs. She has gotten to learn and know our Ace very well. She has provided excellent care, keeps him safe, entertained, and comfortable. I think Ace looks forward to seeing Sophia every Wednesday because he runs right out my arms into hers every time he is dropped off. I highly recommend her and Ace will be attending daycare with her for a while.”
“I left my dog, Tori, for daycare, and she was cared for so well. She is usually very timid, but she seemed so relaxed. Thank you for keeping me updated with lots of photos and for the lovely treat gift you gave her. We truly appreciate your thoughtful care and will definitely be back!”
“Cameron is great! We have left our dog with him for day care on different occasions and for boarding; he seems to have a great time playing, going for walks, etc. each time. I would recommend him.”
“Stella is a highly anxious dog and we were very happy with the way Shruti and her family took care of Stella. They tried their very best to assure she was comfortable and even went outside of their own house rules to make her feel loved and safe. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a family environment and their dog is super friendly and happy!”
“Maggie had a good time at Christina’s playing with the few other young dogs there. She had plenty of room to run and a plastic baby pool for the dogs to jump into to cool off.”
“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid and cats since I was a young adult. I have seen them through teething, surgery, diabetes, and other grave illnesses. I have taken care of puppies and seniors. Ask me about my monthly package deals. Reach out for boarding information - it is a one-on-one service. I am coasting into retirement so my schedule is open both weekdays and weekends. I would love to fill it with more dogs and cats. Right now I have Astrid, my Westie girl. We walk most morning before 6 AM and start our day early. My wife will take care of her while I am out caring for your pet. Late evening I take Astrid out for a walk and get both of us to bed.
“Gail and Chris took care of my baby so well while I was at work. They updated me periodically and made me feel safe knowing he was safe. He enjoyed his stays and look forward to other stays.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog from puppyhood into her senior years, giving me experience with different stages of a dog’s life and their changing needs. I’m also the trusted dog sitter in my family and regularly care for my aunt’s dog when she needs help. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m reliable, patient, and will care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a college student at the University of Maryland and am home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. I make sure they always have fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. Since I have a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s routine and treat them like family.

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 for Doggy Day Care in Boyds on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
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 5,067 sitters in Boyds, 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 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.
