We as Valerie's owners added a complicated wrinkle -- I am traveling and have the Rover.com account, and my daughters were on the ground doing the drop off and pick up. Ana did not blink an eye over our logisitcal wrinkle. She was so easy to work with. My daughter said Ana was extremely welcoming and clearly a dog person, so Valerie was so excited to be at her place. We would definitely book with Ana again.

I was worried about dropping off my large, teenage, high maintenance Bernedoodle for day care, but he had a great time! Paul was responsive, professional, and sent us multiple update.

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!

Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!

About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.

About: Hi, I'm Lo! I'm a passionate animal lover and proud dog mom. I have one fur baby that’s 15 and it only deepens how much I pour into every animal I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new takes real trust. That's why I bring the same consistency, attention, and genuine affection to every visit that I'd want for my own dogs. Whether it's sticking to your pet's exact feeding schedule, handling medications with care, or simply making sure a shy pup feels safe and loved, I show up fully. Every pet and every owner is different. I pride myself on adapting to what works for your family, following your routines, and communicating openly so you never have to worry. Big or small, hyper or mellow, special needs or not, every dog and cat has a personality worth celebrating and I'm here for all of them. -Services 🚶 Dog Walking: Daily walks tailored to your dog's energy and pace. You choose the time. 🏠 Drop-In Visits: Up to three visits a day to feed, play, potty, and give your pet the attention they deserve while you're away. 💊 Medicine and Special Care: Experienced administering medications and accommodating special health needs for both dogs and cats. 🐱 Cat Care: Attentive, calm care so your feline feels comfortable and loved at home. 🐕 All Sizes and Breeds Welcome: Big dogs, small dogs, shy ones, hyper ones, all are welcome. 🛡️ Home Care: Your home is treated with the same respect as your pet. I follow your instructions carefully and leave everything exactly as you left it. -Availability My schedule is flexible and I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can stop by up to three times a day if needed. Feel free to message me if you need a more specific time slot and I will do my best to accommodate you. -Meet and Greet I offer complimentary virtual meet and greets up to 30 minutes so we can connect and make sure it's a great fit for everyone. If you prefer to meet in person, there is a $25 fee for up to 30 minutes. I treat every pet and every home as if they were my own. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible scheduling, and attentive, personalized care for pets with diverse needs and routines. Because I am home throughout the day, I’m able to closely monitor behavior, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment. This flexibility is especially beneficial for puppies, senior pets, or animals with anxiety or medical needs who require extra attention and reassurance. My schedule allows me to be fully present, responsive, and committed to creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home. I carefully follow each pet’s established schedule, feeding instructions, and behavioral guidelines. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I monitor for any changes in behavior, keep areas clean and hazard-free, and provide regular updates with photos. My goal is to create a calm, structured, and loving atmosphere where pets feel safe, trusted, and well cared for at all times.

We are traveling through the states and stayed at Cherry Hill RV park in Maryland Cal and Kelly are only a 15 minute drive away and we dropped off our pup for daycare all five days while we went into the city to explore. We have been using Rover a lot since we started traveling but we have never had a sitter like these two. We received pictures and videos throughout the day but most importantly our dog was so excited to go to their home every day. Usually we have to drag him out of the truck with treats but upon arriving at their home each morning he couldn’t wait to get out. I wish we could take these two with us on our journey. They are the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our boy with them if we went on an extended trip. I can’t say enough good things about them and the care they give. Thank you again for the great care you gave Archie.

About: We are dog lovers with a large fenced-in yard. We have had many dogs over the years and know how to provide loving care and a safe space. We are a couple who works from home and are willing to share our space with furry friends. We have one dog at home: Zubi, male, almost 6 years old, a rescue and is a black lab mix approximately 82 pounds. He is great with new furry friends, loves to run around, play fetch, go on walks, and is extremely friendly. We are willing to provide overnight boarding as well as doggie daycare services. We know how very important your pets are to you and are welcome to share our space with them. We treat our pets as extensions of our family and will do the same for your pets. We both work from home so we have the flexibility to play and walk pets during the day! Pets will have access to our fenced yard to come and go during the day. We have a huge fenced-in yard and our own pets to keep your fur baby company. We do not crate our dogs but we can definitely keep them separate if need be.

About: I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines. I am also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication administration, extra patience, or special accommodations to keep them comfortable and safe. My goal is not only to meet a pet's basic needs but to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their family is away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and I'm the kind of sitter who genuinely enjoys building a bond with the pets I care for. Whether it's helping a puppy burn off energy and stay on schedule or giving a senior pet the extra patience and comfort they deserve, I tailor my care to each animal's unique needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pet parents should never have to wonder how their furry family member is doing, so I provide frequent updates and photos. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I love animals and enjoy the companionship they bring. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand how important routines are, so I work hard to keep pets comfortable and on their normal schedule. Whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra activity or a senior pet who needs a little more patience and care, I'm happy to adjust my routine to meet their needs and make them feel loved and secure. 🐶🐱💕 What sets you apart from other sitters? Be sure to include any special skills like training puppies or senior care. I want to respond in the best way. If this is for a pet-sitting profile, you want to highlight reliability, communication, and any special care you provide. Here's a strong response you can personalize: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving a beloved pet with someone else requires trust, so I make communication a priority by providing regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines.

My goal is not only to meet a pet's basic needs but to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their family is away.

My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. ❤️🐾 How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? Here's a professional yet personable response: Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, administering medications, or evening check-ins, I am committed to maintaining the routine your pet is accustomed to. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I make reliability a priority. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, which makes walks and exercise an enjoyable part of my day. Caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. 🐾❤️ For a more warm and personal approach: Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I love animals and enjoy the companionship they bring.

Whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra activity or a senior pet who needs a little more patience and care, I'm happy to adjust my routine to meet their needs and make them feel loved and secure. 🐶🐱💕 How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and bedtime routines. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's environment and the owner's instructions. I know pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their routine while providing companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I make sure they have opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special requirements so they receive personalized care and feel like part of the family while they're with me. 🐾❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Forest Glen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Forest Glen on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,475 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Forest Glen. 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 Forest Glen 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 5,475 sitters in Forest Glen, 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.
