“My very high-energy puppy had an absolute blast playing with dog friends and splashing in the water all day! Very grateful that she was enjoying her day while I was at work!”
“We were visiting from out of town. Jenna and her adorable dog were very welcoming. He was well cared for and Jenna was very organized and professional. Would definitely recommend.”
“Sarah was always available to communicate with me about Essie and kept me updated. This was Essie's first away from home experience and she went happily off with Sarah. Essie is used to us being home most of the time, so I was reluctant to leave her just anywhere. I felt like she was in safe home atmosphere. Thank you, Sarah.”
“Emily is great with the pups. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away. I am so happy to have found her through Rover! Thanks.”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Tucker had an amazing Day. Caleb and Julie are truly great people. Their property is fantastic for any dogs that need to stretch their legs. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: We have owned, rescued, and fostered many fur babies, including seniors and those that have medical needs and hospice care. Fur babies are unconditional love! I am retired and have a lot of time for fur babies. Taking care of fur babies are what keeps me active and, on the go. I have a fenced yard and three smaller dogs that love to play and cuddle. My home is more suited for fur babies then humans!
“Kristin is amazing! She responds quickly, sends the cutest picture updates, and our pups were very well taken care of (and had lots of fun). It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have chosen Kristin - her professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease quickly, and I would highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things. Thoughtful, kind and gentle and so easy to leave my pet with these lovely people. I am so grateful for their animal love and easy manners. Made my experience wonderful. Thank you!”
“Jim has been an awesome sitter for our 14 year old Yorkie poo, Cupcake. He helped us in an emergency and cared for our old girl as if she was his own! We will definitely use Jim again!”
“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”
About: I have owned, trained and cared for dogs, cats and horses over the last 17 years. I also work with a dog rescue organization in the area and have fostered over 40 dogs in the last 3 years. As an avid animal lover I understand the significant impact that owning animals has on our ability to travel and relax when away. I want to provide people the opportunity to travel care-free while their dogs enjoy the best care being boarded in my home. I have a very dog-friendly house with a fully secure fenced in yard. I work from home so dogs receive attention all day and night and get lots of playtime. Dogs boarded here will get free roam of the house but can also have and use a crate at the owner’s request. I am able to feed special diets and give medication as needed. If your dog stays here they will be welcomed into my house as if they were one of my own. Dogs that come here should be friendly with both male and female dogs. There are no cats in the home. I am also available for lunch time, evening and weekend dog walking. I work from home and am here almost all of the time for boarding in my home. I am also available to provide dog walks during the week in the evenings, sometimes over lunch and on the weekends. Dogs cared for in my home will be treated as if they were my own. They are able to roam about the house and use the full fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on my bed and on the couches in the home, in addition to the many dog beds throughout. Owners can expect frequent photos and updates on their pup!

“Jean took great care of our energetic puppy George. She made sure he had active time as well as calm time to relax and nap. She was very accommodating of George's quirks (ie how he likes to put everything in his mouth still) and kept a close eye on him to keep him safe. We will definitely use Jean again when we need a break!”
“Wendy was awesome with my Patches. This was the first time we utilized Rover and Wendy. My Patches has had one primary day care in over a year so, I was reluctant to start someone new. From the moment we met Wendy, we knew she would be a good fit for him. She was down to earth and knowledgeable and best of all he liked her from the start. He doesn't always respond positively to new people, but he certainly did. I felt very comfortable dropping him off. Wendy sent pictures and he seemed to enjoy himself there. I will definitely utilize Wendy again and strongly recommend her!!”
“Our dogs had a WONDERFUL day with Amanda! They were happy to be there and explore her huge backyard. Amanda is great with communication and very flexible with our schedule. One of our dogs can be reactive at times and the other one is very shy. They both immediately felt comfortable with Amanda and settled in quickly. That is a testament to her skill at handling different types of dogs. Highly recommend her, without hesitation, and our dogs are looking forward to their next visits with her!”
“Diego and Amelia did a wonderful job with our Scotty. They treated him like their own dog. And their own dogs were very friendly and played with Scotty, made him feel at home. Your dog will be in great hands with them!”
“Sruthi & Abha took absolutely amazing care of my dog! They kept me updated during my entire trip as well as kept him super safe! I could not have felt better leaving my dog with anyone else!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Jenna was very helpful as I needed last minute care for my puppy. She agreed even after I explained that my puppy had just been neutered. He was wearing a cone and had to be a little careful. I felt comfortable leaving Duke there……I would definitely recommend her and I would be happy to take my dog again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Frederick on Rover is $53.28 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 Frederick 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 PA 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.

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.
