“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”
“Jeremy is a great dog sitter. He is always very responsive, and he is does a great job in sharing any updates and pictures during the day. Thanks again for taking such good care of our dog!”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Ken and Felice are awesome! Definitely going to book with them again! :) Amazing communication and planning. My pup had a cone and stitches so he couldn't be boarded at his usual place, so thank you again so incredibly much for coming through for me in a pinch! I'm infinitely grateful and will book again!”
“Lynn was an absolute lifesaver when we needed a last-minute sitter for our two small dogs before the weekend. She went above and beyond, sending regular updates and photos, and carefully managing medications for our MinPin with special needs and limited mobility. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs with someone new, but Lynn put us completely at ease. Her sweet dogs, Poppy and Ziggy, were so friendly and got along wonderfully with ours. We’re so grateful for her care and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Lynn!”
“Camden came home and within 15 minutes he was asleep. So much playing and fun! Francine takes care of dogs like she does her own. We are always confident Camden will be happy with Francine. ❤️”
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
“Nick is absolutely wonderful with my puppy Raven, he gets a lot of play time, walks, rest and attention and comes home tired from a fun filled day. Definitely bringing my doggy back!!”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Kyury was incredibly patient and caring with Matcha. Because he’s had some difficult sitter experiences in the past, we shared our concerns with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. She provided frequent updates and took the time to understand his anxious personality, which gave us peace of mind during his stay. We felt completely confident that Matcha was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Kyury to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”
“My pup didn’t want to leave when i came to pick him up!! My puppy Sulley clearly received such great care and attention from both Carly and her family. Their dog Oliver was also sweet and playful with Sulley as well! I already plan to book with Carly again!”
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.”
“Brandi took great care of our beagle boys. You can tell she loves animals. The yard and the home are great for hosting our dogs. She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures. I’m so glad we met Brandi!”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.

About: I love all types of dogs, and I care for them all equally. I believe that dogs should be treated with care and trained with patience. I ask that all the owners give me a little bit of background about yourself that way I know that this dog is in a great and loving home. I currently have a 5month old German Shepard Puppy. Her name is Dime, she is about 50lbs, she is in level two of her pulpy class at Petco, she’s learning and picking up new lessons very swiftly and I can’t wait until she gets older. I have very great experience with dogs as well as other animals but I have to say my love for dogs is unmatched. Thank you.

Brandi took on a late request for our two dogs while we went to a show. She was so easy to communicate with and her pup was so nice to ours. Brandi was very caring to our two pups and anytime we're in the area, we'd easily trust her and her family again. THANK YOU!
Jingru was amazing with our puppy. She followed the schedule we had for her and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our Bella loves going over there and feels very comfortable there. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care and would recommend her to anyone.
Brandy was so professional, efficient and above all very caring to us and Cosmo. I have used a few places and this visit was handled far better than the others. I never wanted to have a repeat at other places but not the case with Brandy.She did exactly what she said she was going to do and our dog was very happy when we picked him up. Very calm and relaxed. Her home was well maintained and inviting and she provides a very nice facility/schedule for the dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Elkridge on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Elkridge 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 3,858 sitters in Elkridge, 86% 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.
