“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”
“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!”
“Sabrina and Ryan were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy Chloe. It was a last minute request and they were able to accommodate us. This was our first time using the River app and Sabrina helped us navigate. We will surely use them again.”
“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
“Susan took great care of my pup, Gus! She makes sure to understand your pets needs ahead of time so she can deliver the best care. She’s very communicative and provided me with plenty of updates and photos. Highly recommended!”
“We’ve used Marta’s services twice. So far so good! Marta is very nice and my pup seems happy. She took the time to meet with me before his first daycare, which I think helped with a smooth transition.”
“Charvé was a life saver with a last minute request when my other sitter arrangements changed. She was warm and welcoming and she kept me updated. My dog also had a blast meeting new friends.”
About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I grew up in a big animal lover home so in the last I’ve fostered, love volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable with pets with medical needs or providing a separate space for anxious pets! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company but if your pet needs the space, my boys are happy to stay upstairs in the large ensuite! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks, play time and tons of pictures of your little one! I’m currently working at home full time with a flexible schedule so I’m able to fit in feeding several walks throughout the day, play time and plenty of cuddles! I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! If your pet likes their space, my pets don’t mind staying upstairs on the 3rd floor ensuite which is the same size as downstairs! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood!
“Alexis goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for animals! My dog Teddy had a wonderful day with her! He was well looked after and I felt very at ease leaving him with her! Overall an outstanding experience and will definitely book with her again! Couldn’t give her enough thanks for providing such wonderful care!”
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“Maggie had a great time having a calm day with Dana instead of staying home for our 3 year old daughter’s birthday party (with 12 other 3 year olds!) - Dana was really responsive and very responsible and Maggie was so happy!”
“Lucie was absolutely wonderful with my dog! The photos and updates she sent showed just how happy and comfortable he was—his big smiles said it all. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much!”
“Beth and Jim took great care of our little girl today. And Dory had a great time playing with Pearl today - despite their size and age difference! I appreciated our meet and greet and the updates I got from Beth. Happy to have found them!”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Great sitter! Highly recommended. She accepted my last minute request, was understanding and flexible with me having to drop off later than expected, tended to my timid pup's need for some individual human attention with it being her first time in daycare, and sent me pictures and videos of my pup during the day. It was very reassuring and calming for me, because I was a nervous mama worried about her pup's first day of daycare and first time away from mama. She also praised my puppy for going potty outside (my puppy is still learning) and reported that my puppy had no accidents in her home! You can tell that jazmin genuinely loves animals and understands that they each have unique personalities. Thanks Jazmin!”
“Crystal is so amazing!!! She is patient, thoughtful and caring. My Junior was well taken care and I felt comfortable with leaving him with Crystal. I’ve already booked my next appointment for Junior and I know there will be many more appointments in the future. Crystal is the best!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gambrills
Koda has separation anxiety and is really nervous in almost any situation which is why I was afraid to leave him with someone. Beth and Jim are the answer to my prayers. They work with him, have patience with him and love him like he was their own. Koda still has a long way to go but he stands a little taller and has made some wonderful doggie friends in the process. I look forward to him going to daycare because I know he will feel like he is home. You will not regret trusting Beth and Jim with your baby.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,648 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gambrills. 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 Gambrills 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 4,648 sitters in Gambrills, 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.
