“We had a good experience with Nina - she and her boyfriend watched our 2 Australian Shepherd for a few hours. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. We’d be happy to use them again!”
“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
“My pup has a great time at Shane's when I drop him off for doggie daycare! Shane sends pictures and shares updates which are much appreciated. I'm so glad that my dog gets a chance to have fun and play with other dogs while I'm at work.”
“My dog Eddie had a great time at Marie’s playing with her dog and running around her fenced yard. He came home and promptly crashed. I highly recommend Marie and will be using her again.”
“Jodee and AJ are the best and take care of Winnie like she is part of their family. Pretty sure Winnie thinks their house is hers too. Can not recommend them enough!”
“I had a great experience with Suseth as Leo's sitter! She was so sweet and accommodating, even with my last-minute requests. Suseth was very responsive, and Leo came home happy, which says it all. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care! Thank you, Suseth!”

“Abigail and Cole are wonderful sitters and Oliver felt right at home with them and their puppy Finn. Seeing the two dogs nap together and pose for photos was the cutest thing ever. I will continue to book daycare with them. Thank you!”
“Kasey made me AND Pinot feel so at ease! She was so enjoyable to communicate and work with. Very detailed and thorough in her updates and overall a genuine and caring person! Thank you for having Pinot.”
“Amazing person and great energy. Her space for the dogs was clean, well looked after and very professional. Cynthia communicated throughout the day and sent multiple pictures and videos. Our dogs will be back!”
About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
“Nicole was so great! My little Onyx can be a very anxious dog, so I was very nervous about leaving him with a sitter. Nicole was able to make Onyx feel right at home and he was playing with her children and two dogs within a couple hours of me leaving. I was really happy that Nicole kept me updated throughout the day with really cute photos and videos. Overall, Onyx had a really great first experience with Rover daycare. ? I highly recommend Nicole! 5 out of 5 stars!”
“Julie and Ken provide a loving, welcoming environment. They treated Abby and Max like one of their own family. Abby and Max enjoyed their time from the very beginning. It was a great experience for everyone. We would certainly use them again.”

I needed to find a sitter while traveling to VA for the 4th of July - Christin is a wonderful communicator, and even without the opportunity for a meet and greet I felt very at ease about having Felix stay with her. She was very understanding and flexible with my fluctuating schedule, she and her husband were both very helpful in making Felix feel comfortable when we first arrived, and I had total confidence that he would be well cared for during his stay with her (and he was 😊)!!
Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.
Natalie is the best!! She has exceeded any and all expectations as far as taking care of and loving our dog— not to mention how she has been to kind to us by accepting last minute bookings and unexpected longer stays. Our dog is so comfortable with Natalie and in her home which makes any dog parent feel at ease. Natalie sends updates and photos throughout the day which is the best! We have used Natalie many times and will always recommend her!
I was very fortunate to find Elizabeth at the last minute when I traveled to Alexandria to visit my son and family. Although I only needed her to watch Demi for several hours over the weekend, she quickly established a relationship with my sweet, traumatized dog and greatly eased my burden of having her watched when I had to attend some functions without her. I’m glad to know I can rely on her during future visits.
Yejin accommodated miley on short turnaround notice the evening prior to the stay. She took miley out on an outdoor adventure and gave her all the attention she needed. Pictures were provided at the end of the day care. I recommend Yejin to any rover clients in need of a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in College Park on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 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 College Park 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 VA 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 5,149 sitters in College Park, 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.
