About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.
About: I’m a mom with lots of patience and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, including helping anxious or stressed dogs feel safe, calm, and happy during boarding. I’ve cared for many of my neighbors’ pets, and they always love coming back. I’ll treat your pet like family and be their next best friend while you’re away! I have a 16 year old miniature Shih Tzu who means the world to me! I’ve also rescued several dogs and cats. I spent about three years volunteering with the SPCA Texas. To me, dogs are little angels, and I treat every one of them with love, patience, and gentle care. I’m home full time, so your pet will never be left alone or unsupervised. I know boarding can feel stressful for pets, so I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and a calm environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. I live with my daughter, who also loves animals. We don’t have kids in the home, and we respect every pet’s space and personality. Our home is clean, peaceful, and very pet friendly, dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what makes them feel at home. Everything is cleaned thoroughly after each stay. I only accept one boarding family at a time, so your pet gets my full attention, personalized care, and a quiet space without being overwhelmed. We also have a yard. My own pet is fully vaccinated. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved, like they’re staying at 5 star home away from home. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s needs. I’m home 24/7, so your pet will always have company, care, and supervision. We usually start the day early with a nice morning walk, followed by breakfast and lots of attention. If treats are allowed, I love giving a little morning treat, such a fun way to start their day. In the afternoon we go for another walk, and I spend time playing based on what your dog enjoys most, whether that’s fetch, toys, or just relaxing nearby with company and cuddles. In the evening, we do another nice walk followed by dinner and wind down time. Throughout the day, they will have potty breaks in our yard I provide loving and patient care for every dog, whether in my home or yours. I’m retired, so I have full focus during my work.
“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.”
“I gave Gail 5 stars but she needs 10. First time booking and she was a life saver by stepping in after our regular options informed us they they could not accept the booking due to other obligations. She was able to accommodate for the two days and I can tell Buddy really enjoyed his stay. When the creators of this service envisioned the what type of sitters they would need to be successful this is who they had in mind. Thanks Gail.”
“Colleen is wonderful! She won over our shy and anxious Berner Sky right away. We did a daycare to warm up for an upcoming 4 day trip. Colleen is thoughtful and really puts effort into making the boarding experience as best as it can be for your fur baby. She texted with updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.
“We are so lucky to have found Kiran! He is very responsive, flexible, and kind. You can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. Mabel loved her time with him and we appreciated the pic/video updates. Mabel is already excited for her next visit!”
“Olga was the best 😊 Diego clearly enjoyed his time with Olga and her sweet dog! I am so glad that I was able to find someone who gave great care to my dog— will definitely be seeing Olga again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing doggy day care! 🐕 😁”
“Sriju is a wonderful person. She gives fantastic care to my dog when Daisy stays on Wednesdays. I'm very happy to have found Sriju. I know my dog will be well cared for when I'm at work. 🐶🤗”
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.
“Renee is wonderful in this. This is the first day care experience for our puppy and Renee is very patient to deal with the nipping and teething as well. Our puppy had a great time and glued with her little one. Renee sent pictures and gave updates how she was doing throughout. Will definitely recommend and send our puppy again to Renee for daycare.”
“Scout felt right at home with Pablo. He was able to go in and outside all day long and had new toys to play with. Pablo took him on several walks and sent pics. Couldn’t be happier!”
About: （Price is for dogs, cats have discount) I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs for over 8 years. From small cutie to big buddy (100lb+). I live in a house with a unfenced yard, so there are plenty of space for our furry friends. I’m working remotely at home. So my schedule is pretty flexible. I can bring them out on morning and noon for a small walk. And can walk them longer after work. I live in a house with a yard( not fenced). I have two cats and a dog. My dog loves play with other dogs. Also cats and dogs can be isolated.
“My wife and I are super glad we found Cheryl. Meeting Cheryl gave us immediate confidence that our dog, Dezi, was in great hands. She hosted Dezi for the day and did an excellent job; he felt right at home in her beautiful home, with a fenced yard (plenty of space to play). Cheryl's attention and genuine care made the difference, and we plan to rebook with her in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poolesville
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Poolesville is $56 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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 4,584 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Poolesville. 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 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,584 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.

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.
