“Ollie had a great time at Christina's. He was happy to see me when I came to pick him up, but in no hurry to leave. I think he wanted me to stay for a while so he could play some more ?. He's looking forward to his next visit.”
“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.”
“Amanda is amazing!!!! Our puppy, Mason, loves her! She takes really good care of Mason and has a great set up in her home for pets. She always tells us how Mason is doing throughout the day and is very reliable. We are so glad we found Amanda for Mason!”
“She was great with my dog in every aspect!! My little guy thoroughly enjoyed with her and her very friendly ,sweet,dogs .Real friendly ,passionate and understanding household.Would totally recommend and repeat !!✌?”
“It was my first time trying Rover for my extremely high energy GSD. I needed to board him for an upcoming vacation and had no idea if anyone on the app would be able to handle him. He’s super high energy and super stubborn. Decided to give Colleen a try since she seemed to have experience with the breed. We tried a doggy day care day to make sure both he and Colleen would be okay with a whole week of boarding and it went as well as I could have hoped. He was a little bit of a problem in the begging it seemed but Colleen was able to get through to him and he had a great rest of the day with her. He came home exhausted which is also good for me! I have no doubts about my upcoming boarding with her and would recommend her highly to anyone with a similar dog. It was very nerve-racking for me to leave him alone all day with someone else who had never watched him before and Colleen did an amazing job.”
“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.”
“Alex and Christina were amazing with Bucky. We booked them last minute and they were so accommodating! They gave me regular updates the whole time he was with them - photos and videos. Bucky has separation anxiety so it was a huge relief to have him with people who know so much about dogs and could take such great care of him. The next time we’re having a night out in Frederick we will definitely book them again!!”
“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
“Dale and Karen are truly the best sitters we’ve ever had. They gave our girls the most love and gentle care. They will definitely be our first go-to from now on!”
“Hihly recommend! Jennifer is a wonderful doggy daycare host. Our boys were excited to spend the day with her and her sweet dog "Sammy". Jennifer sent a few pics and a note to let me know how our dogs were doing.”
“Kayla and Cameron were wonderful! Communicative, flexible, and reliable. We could tell our pooch loved her time with them based on her excited wiggles every day we dropped her off ?”
“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!”
“I feel very comfortable leaving my dog Gigi with Sofia, knowing she’ll be cared for and all receive lots of enrichment with walks, time in the backyard, and the opportunity to be around other dogs.”
“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.”
“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’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dickerson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,390 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dickerson. 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 Dickerson 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 3,390 sitters in Dickerson, 88% 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.
