“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.”
“Layson came back exhausted and I loved it. Nicholas sent updates/pics/videos of Layson having an amazing time. Thank you so much for being accommodating and taking such great care of Layson.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Ms. Ginnie was amazing with my dog Captain! She gave me updates, sent pictures of him playing, and was very easy to contact/communicate with! She’s incredibly helpful and kind. I would recommend her to anyone who needs animal care!”
“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.”
“My dog had a great time with Felice. He has stayed with her family many times and he has always been well cared for. Based on his excitement whenever we pull up to her house, I can say with certainty that my dog is happy to spend the day or the night with Felice.”
“Brittanie and Ryan were super welcoming and their house is set up amazingly well for dogs. I love how they made sure my dog was a good fit for their family so that everyone is happy!”
“Cada enjoyed her day care stays with Veronica, and we already have plans to book with her again. We received regular updates and photos, and Cada seemed to be happy and comfortable during her stay. We appreciate the flexibility and convenience of doing in-home daycare, and Veronica has taken care to ensure the safety and comfort of all the dogs in her care. So happy to have her in the neighborhood!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Taylor was great! He was communicative, friendly, and provided frequent updates on our mini-Aussie. He watched our dog twice, and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our pup with him both times. Highly recommend using Taylor if you're in the Kingston area!”
“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!”

“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.”
“Very pleased with the car and attention to details such as; no doggy poo any where on her lawns, neat organized home environment, easy and thoughtful drop off and pick up of our puppy, lots of pictures shared with us during the times she was caring for our pet. Called a lock smith for me when I locked my keys in my car sitting in her driveway. I was in my car and on the road in just twenty minutes!! Very impressive!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing with company, I adapt to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and genuinely excited to come back. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and dependable care from someone who understands that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. Clean home. Reliable care. Happy dogs. Happy humans. I work from home so my schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I also provide photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. My home features a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play in a smoke-free environment. I care for every dog based on their individual routine, personality, and needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a laid-back senior. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following crate-training routines, and maintaining the structure your dog is used to at home. I host only one family of pets at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention without the stress of overcrowding. Dogs are left alone for no more than 1-2 hours a day.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Halethorpe is $40

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!
Virginia & Steven took great care of my dog Chronos during his stay. They sent pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated because it gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well. They have a nice fenced backyard where Chronos was able to run around and get his energy out, which is great. Overall, I was really happy with the kindness and care they showed him. I would definitely trust them to watch Chronos again.

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 Halethorpe 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 3,485 sitters in Halethorpe, 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.
