“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”
“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”
“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”
“They took in my dog on such short notice and she had a blast! I would definitely recommend and bring her back in the future. They gave her extra cuddles and I know that made my dog really happy. Thank you so much! 😊”
About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”
“I can’t say enough great things about English! She has watched my dog on multiple occasions, and I’ve had a wonderful experience every time. One thing I especially appreciate is her excellent communication throughout the entire stay. She keeps me updated with plenty of pictures and detailed information about my dog’s day, including walks, potty breaks, meals, and activities. I never have to wonder how things are going because she makes sure I’m kept in the loop. English is reliable, attentive, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Her updates give me so much peace of mind while I’m away, and I always feel confident knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust and would highly recommend English to anyone looking for a dependable and communicative dog sitter!”
About: I’ve always had a pet ever since I can remember. Dogs, cats, potbelly pigs, hedgehogs, you name it. My love for pets guides my life. I have three rescue dogs of my own. I have owned puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. I have a very well sized back yard that is fenced in. Your animal will be in amazing care on my watch, as I would treat them as my own. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to doggie board on weekends. I am able to drop in and dog walk throughout the day Monday- Sunday. I am well experienced with puppy care & senior care. From administering pills or oral medication to crating animal when needed I am well experienced with it all. I have years of experience and have had animals with a wide range of needs. I love animals with all of my heart and provide compassionate care. If you are interested in dog sitting I can provide services in your home or mine. I only ask that the dog is crate trained because I also have dogs and will need to take turns letting your pets & my pets outside into my backyard for restroom, play, & exercise. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard that your dogs will enjoy.
“Loved the pictures. Loved the location. She was well taken of and loved. I felt very comfortable leaving my girl. It was her first day of doggy daycare and we will 100% be rebooking!”

Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.

“Lisa, never disappoint me or my fur baby… I think she spoils my Chloe more than I do. 😃… it’s always a good feeling when my dog is pulling to get to her front door when I drop her off..”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care for every dog I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands\. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away\.

I also believe communication is important, so I want owners to have peace of mind knowing how their pets are doing.

I have toys for the pets and I have 3 daughters that love pets and are loved by pets and do a good job making the pets feel safe and loved. Your pet will be in good hands and comfortable.
“Nina Love Cindy and her family since the first day. Nina felt at home and she was excited to see Cindy the next days. Cindy maintained communication with us a couple of days before the booking and she sent me a couple of updates every day. She took Nina for walks, plays in the park and she went above and beyond while taking care of Nina. We and my family enjoyed our vacation time knowing Nina was in good hands. If you’re in the area or live in the area and you want your pet to be safe and taken care of I recommend you Cindy. Thank you again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mutual
Cooper’s first stay with Nikki went wonderfully. She took him on a neighborhood walk and even a car ride—two of his favorite things—and kept us updated along the way, which we really appreciated. When he got home, he jumped right on the couch and fell asleep, clearly exhausted from all the fun. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mutual. 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 Mutual 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 October 2026, there are 391 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
