About: I have grown up with dogs from a young kid and they have always been a constant in my life. My kids always had at least 2 dogs in the house and even though they are gone, I still loving pets around. I specifically like to take care of small to medium dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are house trained. I am very excited to start this journey on Rover and meet and take care of your dogs. I am retired and am at home full-time which gives me the availability to fully cater to your dogs. I like to go on walks in my neighbourhood and spend time in my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard with plent of room to play and run around. I also have a very walkable neighbourhood and have an extra room for your pet to have their space.

“My little pup Effie had a great time. Chloe and Sam are really nice and took good care of my puppy. I was happy to see that she slept, ate, ands played like age was at home. Usually when I leave her at daycare she is happy to see me and can’t wait to get home. But when it was time to leave Chloe’s she wanted to stay and did not seemed too thrilled to leave. I’ll definitely bring Effie back here”

I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
About: Hi there! I'm a dog mom of an energetic boxer, Gus. Gus is my first dog, but from a young age, I always walked dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I had over 4 years of experience with doggy roommates. I have experiences with many different personalities and sizes so I'm very comfortable with them. Gus is an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash and so love to play with a grieve l friend for a visit. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so I'm around most of the time to monitor play and keep the pets company. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. A few things I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00 to 5:00. So I'm around the Pets most of the day. I also have a fenced in backyard for the them to run and and get some energy out. I will walk them in the neighborhood and will avoid busy streets. I also don't introduce them to other dogs while walking them to avoid any accidental negative greetings in my care.
“Our first doggy day care with Amani was great! She communicated great up front to let me know what to expect and Blob came back absolutely exhausted. Amani was realistic about taking care of a puppy, which I greatly appreciated. I love that Blob is able to socialize, run around in a yard, and overall have a great day with her.”
“Chris is the best! He was a total lifesaver & extremely accommodating when I needed someone to watch Casper last minute. Casper warmed up to him immediately & left his house exhausted after an eventful day!”
“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I helped raise and take care of a Golden Retriever for 14 years in my childhood home until she passed away. Right know I have 3 elderly dogs who are my BFF's. I can't imagine my life without a furry friend. Also I've helped watch family and friends dogs since a young age. I love dogs of any kind and will love yours like my own! I’m currently working close to home with very flexible hours. I can work with your schedule to find the right time to care for your pets! I will approach your pet in a calm and slow manner until they feel comfortable with me. I have a fenced yard. My neighborhood is great for walks. Also depending on your preference with dog park/ walks, I typically take dogs for a 30 min walk (of course each dog is different in taking their time I fully respect that). If your dog is comfortable at the dog park, I’d love to take them there as well! My dog park is 20 minutes away (walking).I can accomodate dogs in crates or dogs that sleep on dog beds. In case of an emergency, I will always contact you first and take your pet to your preferred vet. I have a jeep which your dog will feel really comfortable in, so I am able to get your pet to whichever vet quickly!
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner/lover who is also about a year and a half into learning how to be a cat mom. It's a pretty tight competition between my 8yo son and my 6yo beagle as to who loves dogs more. I work from home so if your pet doesn't like to be alone, that is not a problem. Walks and brushings are daily activities. Since the animals are allowed on the furniture the daily brushing is a must. Our cat has asthma and uses a daily inhaler, so if your pet also has medical issues/needs, they will fit right in. I've been petsitting for years for friends and family and would love to host your loved one as well. I work from home and occasionally have meetings or appointments during the day, so regular walks and lots of attention are easily managed. I also work for myself, so I have the ability to set my schedule. My backyard is fenced in, so unexpected potty needs or sunbathing are always accommodated. No space or piece of furniture is off limits to pets in my home.

“Shantell was amazing with my pup Kiko. I really can’t recommend her enough. She is reliable, communicative, and accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with my energetic pup.”
About: I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who has been caring for my own two friendly dogs a small dog and a medium sized dog for the past year. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your dog like family while they’re in my care. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected and have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive until it’s time to go home. I provide pet care from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. My routine includes morning potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding according to each pet’s schedule, and lots of affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they are away from their families. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I live in an apartment within a pet-friendly community with a large outdoor area for walks and fresh air. There is also a nearby dog park where I take my own dogs for exercise and enrichment. I have two friendly dogs of my own, one small and one medium-sized, and I always prioritize slow introductions and making sure all pets are comfortable with each other. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, potty breaks, and any special needs, while providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for birds, fish, dogs, and cats. My family has primarily had Shih Tzus and Boxers, and I currently have an 11 year old Shih Tzu. Caring for her has given me a strong understanding of the patience, comfort, and slower pace that senior pets may need. I also help care for my neighbor’s cats when she works overnight shifts. I’m comfortable following different routines and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular attention, companionship, potty breaks, meals, and time outside throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are not left alone for long periods and can settle into a comfortable routine. I live in a condo with a private fenced yard, which gives dogs a safe place to spend time outside. My home is calm and comfortable, and I currently have one senior Shih Tzu who is quiet and spends much of the day resting. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, bathroom, and care instructions closely. I also take time to learn their personality, routine, and comfort level so they can feel secure while in my care.
“Chad and Regina were very accommodating and flexible in helping tend to my pup’s first dog sit. Feeling at ease to leave her in their good hands in the future!”

Devin and precious were so great with Kaia! They were extremely communicative and send plenty of pictures and updates. Kaia even got a homemade frozen watermelon treat after a walk which I’m sure she devoured. I highly recommend their services. Thanks for taking such great care of my girl.
My little pup Effie had a great time. Chloe and Sam are really nice and took good care of my puppy. I was happy to see that she slept, ate, ands played like age was at home. Usually when I leave her at daycare she is happy to see me and can’t wait to get home. But when it was time to leave Chloe’s she wanted to stay and did not seemed too thrilled to leave. I’ll definitely bring Effie back here
Bruno and his wife were great! They both are very nice and trusting people. They made drop off and pick up super seamless and provided plenty of updates throughout the stay. I’m someone who worries easily when my pets are away, but having Bruno as a sitter made me feel at ease. Would most definitely recommend!
Over the past two years, Amani has been the best, most reliable daycare for my golden Blob. Every single time I drop her off, Blob is absolutely out of her mind with joy to see Amani. When she comes home, Blob is dead dog tired after a full day of play. Blob formed a particular attachment to Amani's son, who taught her tricks, read to her, and played soccer with her. Their friendship is absolutely adorable. Amani took excellent care of Blob weekly from when she was two months old to two years old. Through that time, she was always flexible when my needs changed, picking up Blob or changing the date when I requested. We are sad to be moving out of state and will truly miss Amani and her family.
Chanelle provides greatcarefor Poppy who was reluctant to go with her when we started in January. Now Poppy waits at the door with tail wagging eager to go. Chanelle boarded Poppy last week while I was on vacation. Poppy was very happy and I ws confident she was very well cared for by Chanelle who truly enjoys her.
I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!
Max was fantastic! He took great care of my puppy. Max was extremely communicative and thoughtful— I got several detailed updates, pictures, and videos of my puppy’s adventures during daycare. He was so well prepared to make my pup feel at home for the day. Would recommend!
We were visiting DC from out of state for the 4th and wanted to visit the Great American State Fair, and not only was it WAY too hot outside for our standard poodle, but dogs weren’t allowed in the festival. We messaged Josefa to check on her availability and within hours we were dropping our baby off and she was gracious enough to allow us an 11:30pm pickup. Josefa sent us pictures during Cliff’s stay and he looked relaxed and seemed excited to see us when we picked him up, but otherwise calm and not at all stressed. I have a feeling he just got petted and loved on the whole time he was there. Highly recommend this very responsive and super sweet sitter. Thank you again Josefa for taking such good care of our Cliff!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Chillum on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Chillum 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.

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.
