“I highly recommend Auana as she is expertly took care of my pup while I was at work. She made sure to ask all the right questions to provide the right care. Norbert and I both were impressed with communication and attention during his stay. Thanks again!”
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me...cats, too! I am currently looking for pet sitting clients, in my home or the client's home. I live on a peaceful, private and safe property, bordered by the woods and a lake in Brookeville. I have cared for my own pets for most of my life and have also worked as a dog walker and dog hander at a dog daycare center. I have also fostered and rescued dogs and cats. I have an extensive background in unrelated fields, such as music, graphics/video, real estate, property management and working as a home healthcare aide. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Best ~ Mark I can always put my pet clients and visitors first. Outside of working with animals, I work on music, home renovations, read, etc. My home is a large garage that I converted into a guest house with a recording studio. The house where I have pet guests is a private home near the woods. I have over 2 acres where I can walk dogs, plus 80 acres of woods behind the house for hikes. I have security cameras at the property. There is only one neighbor nearby and it is a very quiet and peaceful area. I am completely trustworthy as far as caring for client's pets. I have worked as a guitar teacher and pet handler, various other jobs that required background checks.
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”
“Where do I begin? Superior experience from start to finish! Communication about Trixie’s stay included pics and info. I felt at ease and confident that my pup was in good hands being well taken care of. I highly recommend Terry if you need a safe, welcoming place for your pet. 5+ stars!!”
“Ken & Felice were absolutely a breath of fresh air. They clearly love dogs and are excellent hosts. I could tell from their photos, and Charlie’s demeanor at pick up time that he was well cared for and in loving, capable hands. Looking forward to his return and many new furry friendships!”

I have a big enough home to comfortably suite up to 11 dogs. A good size yard, plenty of space. A lot of extra time to start helping care for pets aside from my own dogs. . I have a 4ft tall Fenced in yard and live on 11 acres of land. I have 3 dogs to keep your fur babies company. As well as 2 children to help play and keep them busy.
“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”
About: Hi! I’m Stan — a lifelong dog and cat owner turned pet sitter based in Ellicott City, Maryland. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and caring for them has always come naturally. Whether it's a long walk with a pup or some quality playtime with a curious cat, I truly enjoy every moment spent with our furry companions. Although I’m new to Rover, my years of hands-on experience speak for themselves. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and attention they get at home. I can provide pet sitting reviews from pet owners that I have provided services too outside of the Rover Platform. Working from home so I can visit your home during the day or care for your pet at my home. If you need a place to take your pet I have plenty of room at my single family home. Looking for pet sitting and house sitting in the Ellicott City and Columbia Maryland area. As a pet sitter, I make it my priority to ensure every dog and cat in my care feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m home most days, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I have a cozy house with space to play and comfy couches for cuddles—furniture is never off-limits here! I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, as well as all kinds of cats, including hairless breeds like the Sphynx. Whether your pet is energetic or laid-back, I adjust to their personality and needs. Long walks are no problem for pups who need more exercise, and I’m happy to visit the dog park if they’re friendly with other dogs. A stroll through the local park is also on the menu. My goal is to keep every pet in my care active, happy, and stress-free while you're away
“Lydia Is an awesome sitter! My dog Bennett absolutely thrives there, she takes him on little adventures he plays outside it’s wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She also sends pictures all the time which I adore!”
“Our dog, Brandi, had such a fun time at Brenda's house for Doggy Day Care. Brenda is very kind and truly enjoys what she does. She kept me updated throughout the day with texts and pictures. Her resident dog, Willow, also made Brandi feel right at home. Brenda takes wonderful care of our dog and we will definitely request her services for future doggy day care or overnight stays.”
“Always kind, welcoming, caring and very accommodating. We are grateful to have such great pup sitters! We will keep coming back! Our pup is always very excited to come back!”
About: I believe what sets me apart is my combination of professional caregiving experience, extensive dog handling experience, and genuine love for animals. I currently have my own service dog and went through 2+ years of weekly training with her, along with 6+ months of obedience training with two other dogs. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m also a registered nurse currently taking a break from nursing to recharge, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes very naturally to me. I’m detail-oriented, patient, calm under pressure, and highly attentive to safety and routines — qualities that are especially helpful with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs with medical needs. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to give your babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve! But fair warning — they just might end up loving me too! ;D I understand that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can feel stressful, but you can rest assured they will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. For drop-in visits and walks, I will attend without my own dog present. However, for boarding or daycare services, my service dog, Copper, will be with me. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment, and pets staying with me will have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. They are also welcome on the furniture and will be treated like part of the family.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kingston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,991 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kingston. 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 Kingston 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 4,991 sitters in Kingston, 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.
