About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.

About: I am very active and like to walk 3 or so miles everyday, leave your dog with me and they will make sure to get good exercise! I work from home and have great deal of flexibility! I can change my schedule quickly to meet the needs of the day or the dog! I like to make sure they are well fed and well exercised while having a quite spot for themselves if they like or an ability to be right next to me the entire day.

About: I have 20 years of experience with pups. What sets me apart from other sitters is that in less than 5 minutes of us meeting, I am sure your pup will feel right at home. I work especially well with anxious pups, and am able to train the most stubborn pups. I am currently a stay at home mom, and so I would be able to have all hands on deck full time. There will be no distractions. I make them feel as comfortable as possible by providing toys, ample play space, and most importantly (in the eyes of the fur babies at least) I provide lots of treats! Also if your pup enjoys to be walked I will walk them no less than 3 times a day.

About: I've been caring for dogs for about 10 years. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy the companionship, personality, and happiness they bring. I currently have my own 10-year-old Labrador Retriever mix named Buddy, who is about 45 lbs. I've also provided boarding for multiple dogs at a time, caring for as many as five dogs together and for stays as long as 30 days. I've cared for dogs of all different sizes and ages, from dogs around 5 lbs to dogs around 100 lbs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I've also cared for dogs who require medication and am comfortable administering medications as long as I have clear instructions on the dosage, schedule, and the way your dog is most comfortable receiving it. I have experience with feeding, walks, bathing, grooming, nail trimming, playtime, and basic training. I also understand that every dog has a different personality. Some dogs want to run and play all day, while others are happiest relaxing beside you on the couch. I try to learn what makes each dog comfortable and make their stay feel as much like home as possible. My goal is to provide a comfortable, loving home where your dog gets plenty of attention and never feels like they're simply being "boarded." I do this full-time and work from home, so I’m home throughout the day to provide potty breaks, meals, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I don’t leave the house for work, which allows me to give your dog consistent care and companionship throughout the day. Drop-offs are available from 11:00 AM–11:55 PM. Early drop-offs before 11:00 AM are available for a $15 fee. Need an earlier start? Book the night before so your pup can arrive early, settle in comfortably, and be ready for the day. 🐾 I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy regular outdoor time throughout the day. A typical morning starts with outdoor time for about 30 minutes, followed by breakfast. After eating, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, depending on their preference and the weather. I'll continue providing additional potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I want to keep your dog's normal routine as much as possible. If your dog normally has lunch, a snack, or meals at a specific time, just let me know and I'll follow their schedule. I also ask that you let me know their normal dinner time so I can keep them on their usual routine. After dinner, I'll give them another opportunity to go outside and enjoy some time in the backyard. I also provide a final potty break right before bedtime. If your dog normally goes to bed at a specific time, please let me know so I can accommodate their usual bedtime routine. My wife typically goes to bed earlier, while I stay up later, so if your dog needs a later-night potty break, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome to relax on my furniture or use one of my dog beds. I have toys and treats available, including Milk-Bone biscuits, but I'm happy to follow your dog's normal diet. If your dog has a specific type of treat, a specific feeding routine, or should not receive treats, please let me know or send their preferred treats with them. For overnight stays, dogs have their own room, and I'm happy to accommodate their normal sleeping routine. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or outside of a crate, just let me know ahead of time. I have beds and gates available, and can accommodate a crate when needed.

About: Been around dogs majority of my childhood. Had my own for 10+ years, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and loved , daily walks, regular feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to routines, cues, and comfort, and I’m someone your dog will genuinely enjoy spending time with Blessed to be in a position where I have extra free time at home. I’d love to use it taking care of my favorite animal! I live in a big 1 bedroom apartment with extra loft space upstairs, my complex has a doggy park outside also! I’m open to leaving pads around the house and all that is requested to make your dog comfortable.

About: Hi there! My name is Jacqueline and I have spent the past 13 years loving on my own 2 dogs Oliver & Annie until they crossed the rainbow bridge. Before that, I dogsat for friends and professors while I was in grad school. Before my 4-year-old daughter & I are ready to welcome another four-legged family member into our hearts and home, I’m happy to pour that doggie love into your pup while you work or travel! We’re both excited to take this step, and I will always be supervising if she is being a helper :) She is, however, afraid of dogs she thinks look like “wolves” (e.g., shepherds, huskies, etc.) and we’re only able to take dogs up to 50-60lbs at this time. I currently work from home most of the week. At most, I’m in the office for up to 3 hours a couple mornings per month. That means I have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pup. I can take your dog on walks throughout the day and there’s a fenced dog park my neighborhood where we can play fetch off-leash!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Burtonsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Burtonsville on Rover is $42 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $43 per day. 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 5,574 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Burtonsville. 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 Burtonsville 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 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 .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,574 sitters in Burtonsville, 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 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.
