“Cal and Kelly were very communicative. They sent me several videos and pictures to show me how my pup was doing. I could see that she was very happy and in great hands. Would definitely leave her with Cal and Kelly again!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“We are so thankful to have found Paul! He excepted our booking very last minute and was so accommodating. Ebony doesn’t always do well in new places, but I think he would have preferred to stay with Paul even longer! Lots of walks, lots of pictures and updates. I especially appreciate how confident Paul is with socializing Ebony with other dogs, something I am always nervous about. Will definitely use Paul as a sitter in the future!”
“Eden was so attentive and caring with our beagle. In his stay, she took him to play in the park, was very accommodating in his feeding routine, and made sure he was always comfy and happy. I can’t wait for Smokey and Rori to play again”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of my energetic puppy- even trimming her nails and introducing her to new toys. She was also very helpful and knowledgeable about puppy training!”
“Yosef is FANTASTIC! He took my request (desperate plea) to sit my pup in the final hour and I couldn’t be happier! Batman was mad at ME to leave and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. I know he had a great time with Yosef and Law and we’re both looking forward to his next visit.”
“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful we found her and would happily recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. Five Stars all around!!”
About: I started caring for pets when I was 13, beginning with my own dog, Peanut, and my kitty, Cookie. Since then, I’ve had the joy of caring for many different animals, including birds, chickens, hamsters, bunnies, and even goats! I truly love all animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. It would be a pleasure to care for your babies and give them all the attention and affection they deserve! ❤️🐾 I’m available full-time throughout the week, including mornings and afternoons, so your pets can always receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and gentle care daily. ❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and is treated like family with patience and affection. ❤️
About: I provide attentive, home-style dog care with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and settle in comfortably. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic young dogs to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have experience managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, medications, crate routines, and individual needs. I take introductions seriously and closely supervise interactions so everyone can get comfortable at their own pace. My goal is simple: I want your dog to enjoy being here. Whether they want to play in the yard, go for walks, hang out with the other dogs, or sleep on the couch most of the day, I adjust their stay around what makes them comfortable. I send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your trip knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and having a good time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which gives me plenty of time for regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, walks, play, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care and follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and wants plenty of activity or prefers to relax and lounge around the house, I’m able to adjust the day to what they’re used to at home. My home is set up to give dogs plenty of space to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I have enough space to give dogs separate areas when they need downtime, personal space, or a break from the other dogs. I carefully supervise interactions and introduce dogs at a comfortable pace rather than immediately putting everyone together. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed, following specific feeding or medication instructions, and maintaining the routines your dog is used to at home. I keep the environment clean and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing.

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.
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hillandale on Rover is $43.34 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Hillandale 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.

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.
