About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for the last 6 years. I have had to feed, walk, scoop litter boxes, give medicine, and give ALL of my attention to them :) I have had a dog all of my life and have been around animals every single day. I will care for your for baby like my own. I will send pictures/videos to make you feel like you are there watching them :) I do have a full-time job, but it is remote, so I am very flexible. I do not have assigned hours, so I am able to care for your animal at any point of the day, whether be walks, or just stop in to say hey and play for a while! I will be able to care for your fur baby at your house making sure everything is cleaned up and safe for your animal. I am very accommodative and if you need or want anything else done just let me know!
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. This is to ensure the safety of my dog and if I am boarding or hosting daycare for another dog. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive, okay without supervision, or is okay in a crate or enclosed room. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“Rachele was there when we most needed it! She makes it look easy, is super flexible and accommodating, and my sweet Wyatt came home happy and well exercised and excited to go back again and again. In a short period of time, Rachele became a reliable and comforting second home & caregiver for our pup. Thank you!!!”


About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”

“Roxy had a wonderful time playing with Andreas and his dog Luna. She was reluctant to leave in order to come home. The rest of the day she was happy and tired. Andreas was very pleasant to deal with. His fenced-in yard is a big plus.”

About: I have always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know that pets are family, and they deserve care that feels safe, loving, and personalized. My experience includes caring for dogs in a home environment, supporting daily routines, providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and giving pets the patience and attention they need while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, habits, and care instructions so their routine feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I am also the founder of Lovebugs & Co. Pet Care, a boutique pet care service created for pet parents who want reliable, thoughtful, and loving care. My approach is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet with the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I currently work from home in a flexible remote environment, which allows me to be present, attentive, and available throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and a calm home environment. Because my schedule is flexible, I can build pet care around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent attention and care while their family is away. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. For pets cared for in my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit. I keep the environment clean, peaceful, and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they are away. For walks and drop-in visits in a client’s home, I treat the home with care and respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.
“Marta was referred to me by our regular Rover sitter for coverage while on vacation. Marta was very welcoming and thorough in the meet and greet. She has a lovely space both inside and outside for all dogs and pups. She sent many pics throughout the day to report and assess how my dog was doing. Very kind and a true dog lover! Will gladly use again.”


About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
“Chris and Kelly are extremely sweet, understanding, loving and caring. If you choose them as a sitter your baby will be in safe/loving hands. I look forward to using their services again!”

“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”
“Laura is fantastic! Our pup Luna had a great time and loved playing around in the yard and with her two lovely pups. Laura was great to work with and sent pictures during Luna’s daycare session. Thanks!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.
“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Galesville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,261 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Galesville. 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 Galesville 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 4,261 sitters in Galesville, 87% 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.
