About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.
“I cannot recommend Melissa enough! From the very first booking, she has been reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs. The updates, photos, and videos she sends always give me peace of mind and make it clear that my puppy is not just being watched, he is genuinely being cared for and loved. Archie absolutely adores her and gets excited every time he sees her. She creates a safe, fun, and engaging environment, and it’s obvious that she treats every dog in her care like family. Melissa goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets her apart is the extra effort and thoughtfulness she puts into caring for the dogs. For Archie’s first birthday, she hosted a birthday celebration with the other dogs in her care. Seeing him celebrated with treats, friends, and adorable photos was such a great feeling and meant so much to our family. It was one of those moments that reminded me how fortunate we are to have found someone who genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, responsive, and will care for your dog as if they were her own, look no further. We are so grateful to have found her, and Archie is always excited for his next visit.”
About: I've taken care of small dogs for the past twenty years spanning from puppy to senior. Playtime with lots of cuddles are always a go-to activity. I'm a work from home warrior that has a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide array of time commitments for varying pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard with lots of walking trails in my neighborhood. My pomeranian male, Ace, is with me full time but also loves visiting his grandparents nearby.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!
About: I’ve had dogs since I could remember. I have also worked at Petco & Petsmart so I also am very educated on animals! I will make sure your pet is comfortable & spoiled. When I wake up I go to Starbucks- where I will walk your fur baby if you have a dog & with your permission give him or her treats- plenty of play time & walks & then a nap! I work from home- so I don’t need to leave for any reason & have plenty of treats! I also will send plenty of pictures of your fur baby.
“This was my puppy’s first time at doggy daycare, and Jayla was amazing! She made me feel completely comfortable, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos. My pup had a great time playing and socializing with another puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — highly recommend!”
“I brought my little senior to Denisha and I could not have been happier with the care she took with him. She has true caring for animals and she cared for my dog as well as she cared for her own dogs. They went on walks and when she noticed he was lagging, she picked up his ten pound self and carried him the rest of the way. She cues into behaviors to figure out dynamics and issues. She was just great. I loved that she took him on walks because no place I have taken him has ever put that effort into him. Please consider Denisha as a caretaker for your dog. I will definitely be going back to her.”
About: I have always grown up with pets since I was able to walk. Dogs are my favorite thing in life!! I recently had to send my dog to heaven and haven’t been quite ever to get over it. I still have his toy and often pet sit for family and friends to try and fill the void. This will give me just that!! I currently do brand ambassador work so I creat my own schedule, which is great. My availability is very flexible. I’m here if you need me!! I have a fenced in yard for small potty breaks but I enjoy going on walks!! Being out in the fresh air getting exercise is always best.
“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”
“Anthony did an amazing job taking care of Mr. Brown. He is attentive, reliable, and clearly passionate about dogs. Mr. Brown was happy and well-cared-for, and I look forward to using Anthony again in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: I love dogs, especially the friendly, loving, and attention-seeking ones! Ever since I was a young child, I've been surrounded by dogs--various ages, sizes, and breeds--and now realize that I find comfort in their presence. I am looking forward to welcoming your fur babies into our home! My work schedule is very flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies, giving them the loving attention that they deserve. You can expect the following when your pet is in my care: -All potty breaks and outdoor exercise will occur in our secure, fenced backyard. -Your pet will have a minimum of 2 potty breaks per day. -Your pet’s food will be replenished in accordance with their feeding schedule. -Your pet will have constant access to water (unless you instruct otherwise).
“Joseph was an excellent caregiver for my 4 month old puppy Kakashi and demonstrated a great deal of professionalism and attentiveness throughout the duration of the stay. I was impressed with the level of communication from Joseph before, during, and after the dog-sitting period. Joseph was proactive in providing regular updates on Kakashi's well-being, including feeding times, walks, and any other notable activities. Joseph was also very accommodating to Kakashi's needs and preferences. He was patient and compassionate with Kakashi, who has had very little experience around other dogs and can be anxious in unfamiliar environments. Joseph provided ample attention, cuddles, and playtime to keep Kakashi calm and comfortable. Kakashi returned to me happy, calm and exhausted from a busy day. I honestly didn’t hear a peep out of him for the remainder of the evening. He ate dinner and immediately curled up for bed. I highly recommend Joseph as a dog-sitter. His professionalism, communication skills, and genuine care for animals make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver. Thank you, Joseph, for taking such good care of Kakashi!”

“My baby Titan had a great time with TayShawn and her family. He was all tuckered out when he got home from playing. I would definitely use her again. Thank you for loving on our baby like one of your own”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - District Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in District Heights on Rover is $35.52 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 5,236 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across District Heights. 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 District Heights 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 5,236 sitters in District Heights, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
