“Being a travel nurse is sometimes a little more difficult with a dog, finding new dog sitters for George in a new city can be hard since I work 12 hour days. Veronica and Caleb have been extremely understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. They are great with communication and send updates/pictures of George frequently. I couldn’t have found better people to take care of him in Baltimore while I work. Extremely grateful for all they do!”

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.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve helped care for pets for years by providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable working with energetic puppies, helping reinforce routines and basic commands, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, medication support, and extra comfort. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe and happy in my care. I’m available Thursday through Saturday, both day and night so you can have fun in the weekend. I’m able to provide walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and extended attention during these days, including weekends. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in my home, I always follow the pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks, I also live next to a park or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to instructions such as medication schedules, training routines, and any special needs. I also keep the space clean and secure, provide updates to owners, and treat every home and pet with respect—just as I would my own.

About: I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 I do not have experience nor am I compatible with aggressive dogs or large dogs who pull on the leash. I hope you find another trusted sitter who can handle your dogs needs. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. My current availability is as such: Flexibility on the weekends and on Wednesdays during the day for regular and drop in-walks, drop-in visits and pet care. Holidays: Same availability and services at a modified fee. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home for doggy daycare care or boarding when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I will update my availability as quickly as I can. When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. 🐾

About: I have always taken care of pets since I was 8 years old along with growing up with animals in my household. I taught my former roommate cat to sit for treats and in the next year I am looking to get my license for animal training. I have always loved taking care of animals and am excited to help take care of yours. Adding your animal to my family and always treating your pet like my own with the same love and respect as my own. I am very flexible with others schedules and how late or early feedings are or walks. I take animals very seriously in addition with giving them the same love you'd give them at home during your daily reutine.

About: Hi! My name is Lynn, and I've been raising/ caring for dogs & cats since I was a young child. I worked as a live in dog sitter for 2 years while in college. I’ve worked at an animal rescue shelter in Chicago & dog walking company in Baltimore for a combined 3 years. Independently I’ve cared for all kinds of animals all my life and I honestly just love being surrounded by them! They make me happy & I would like to think I do a pretty good job at keeping them happy as well. Thank you and hope to see you soon! I am currently doing pet care full time so whatever schedule we work out will be guaranteed from me. Let’s figure out what works :) By giving individual animals the care and attention they need. Unless they need space, which I can give them too haha. They will be fed, walked and/or played with to fit their needs and as you instruct. I have a fenced in backyard.

I love cats and am patient and kind, letting them set the pace for affection. I am a retired school teacher who is used to routine but also is adaptable and knows life can change quickly. I have the time you need to dedicate myself to your pet. I can care for your pet in your home where they are used to the surroundings and routines. I bring what I need for myself and am self-sufficient and dependable.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Mount Vernon is $33 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,976 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,976 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MD. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,976 sitters in Mount Vernon, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
