“Phil and Amanda are amazing. Our two pugs can be skittish around other dogs and Phil and Amanda paired them with the perfect duo to help them get more comfortable. They took them on numerous walks and even let them snuggle in bed on an early morning drop off. I can’t recommend them more and I’ll use them again when we come to town.”
“Amanda is amazing!!!! Our puppy, Mason, loves her! She takes really good care of Mason and has a great set up in her home for pets. She always tells us how Mason is doing throughout the day and is very reliable. We are so glad we found Amanda for Mason!”
“Maggie had a good time at Christina’s playing with the few other young dogs there. She had plenty of room to run and a plastic baby pool for the dogs to jump into to cool off.”
“Dale and Karen were very sweet and cared for my dog like they would their own. They were very flexible and accommodating. They even had a little report card at the end of the day to let me know how he did. They are my go-to sitters now.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
“I highly recommend Chash C.! They took wonderful care of my 16-year-old toy poodle and gave her the extra patience, attention, and love that an elderly dog needs. I was especially grateful that they were able to accommodate us on such short notice. Before her stay, they arranged a meet-and-greet so we could get to know each other and make sure our dogs would be a good fit. That thoughtful step immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my precious girl in their care. Throughout her stay, they sent pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for she was. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable, and truly cares about your pet, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Chash C. again!”
“Kayla and Cameron were wonderful! Communicative, flexible, and reliable. We could tell our pooch loved her time with them based on her excited wiggles every day we dropped her off ?”
“She was great with my dog in every aspect!! My little guy thoroughly enjoyed with her and her very friendly ,sweet,dogs .Real friendly ,passionate and understanding household.Would totally recommend and repeat !!✌?”
About: I have a medium size calm dog Judo who loves the company of other dogs. I have been caring for my own dogs since 2014, and started Rover in 2018. I also foster dogs for local rescues and especially have experience with shy dogs that need help trusting people. Because of allergies, dogs are not allowed on furniture or in the bedroom. We only take one dog at a time to insure your lovely pup gets the attention they deserve. We only accept dogs that are fully house trained. Accidents happen, but please do not send your dog over if they already have urinary or digestive problems. Please understand that we only accept fully vaccinated dogs to protect the health of our resident dog. Before booking with us for the first time, we recommend a meet n greet to ensure a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. Potty breaks in the yard available throughout the day. Two walks a day with my dog and park visits on weekends. All interactions between dogs will be monitored. When I’m not around I will keep them separate in the first three days until I am confident that they get along. Food will be provided separately and toys will not be left around.
“My fur baby has been going to Sophia every week for daycare since August 2023 and sometimes for boarding when we have to travel. Best decision we’ve made for our little Rue. He loves Sophia and her family and enjoys playing with his fur friends. We have even noticed little small behavioral changes in Rue for the better. He comes home happy and tired. So glad we found Sophia as a second home for Rue.”
“Bruno has received the best professional and personal care during his first daycare experience with Ella. We have met a Ella a day before to see how Bruno is going to like the place. Ella got a great big home with fenced backyard, which Bruno felt home as soon as he entered the home. We talked and learned about each other and dropped Bruno with Ella next day. We have received regular updates and photos from Ella to let us know how Bruno is doing throughout the day. He enjoyed his stay and played well with other doggies and don't want to come home when we went to pick him up. Bruno gave a special hug to Ella before jumping back to his car. Whenever we need a day care again for Bruno, Ella would be our first choice. Overall it's a great Experience!”
“Cameron is great! We have left our dog with him for day care on different occasions and for boarding; he seems to have a great time playing, going for walks, etc. each time. I would recommend him.”
“Ingrid was fantastic with Zazu! Also very responsive and accepted last-minute booking and sent tons of pictures and videos. If I am ever in the area again, I will surely be going to her.”
About: It's a family affair and we treat yours like ours. As a family, we've been fostering rescue puppies and dogs for more than 18 years, providing care, training, medical support and, of course, lots of love. Whether you need a last-minute pop in for a potty break and snuggle, a walk with some basic leash training, or a week-long sitter, we can help. Someone is always around and working from home between mom, dad or our 2 college students so even last minute "going to happy hour" requests can be accommodated. We would love to meet you and your furry family! We're available on most days and times and can be flexible to meet your pet's needs. Last minute need or emergency? No problem! I can work to fit you in and have a backup team (aka college-age kids) who love pets as much as I do! We treat yours like ours - like Family! Your pet's comfort and happiness is most important. Once we get to know each other, we can have nice walks with some play and/or snuggle time - whatever they need! We only take one pet at a time for in-home services like boarding and doggie daycare and integrate them into our home. We even have a doggie door into a fenced yard but I prefer to do potty breaks/ walks as needed. I'm comfortable administering medications as prescribed and understand that every dog come with their own routine and special needs.
“We were so happy that we found Colleen! Our dog was happy and in great hands. Colleen sent us updates including a few videos showing a very happy puppy. Can't wait to book with her again.”
“I am so bless to have Raghavi P. on Rover. She took excellent care of my toy poodle, Nema. Nema has never been to daycare, and Raghavi P. made me and Nema feel at ease from the very start. She communicated well and even sent me pictures each day. I will definitely use Raghavi P. again and highly recommend her services.”
About: I had a Shih Tzu pup for 15 years. When I lost him 3 years ago I decided I wanted to fill my time caring for other pups from just a few months old to seniors. I am a hybrid employee so most days I would be home with pups and on my office days I’d be away during the workday. I live in a private entry apartment building so not just anyone can enter the building. There are potty stations on every corner of the street and an open yard in the back of the building that’s good for walking

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Poolesville on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 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 Poolesville 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 4,629 sitters in Poolesville, 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.
