“I am so happy that I found this daycare for my tiny pup! The at-home approach makes me feel so much more comfortable (and less guilty) than the typical daycare/boarding options offered in the area where all the dogs are in one room without their comfy bed or toys. Everyone who works at the daycare is friendly and my pup is truly excited when we pull up for drop-off. Definitely a hidden little gem!”
“Lina was an absolute breath of fresh air! From her warm greeting to her punctuality and genuine enthusiasm for my dog, she immediately put both of us at ease. Lina’s joyful energy seems to match any dog’s spirit - whether it’s gentle affection, a leisurely walk, or playful running and games. I honestly couldn’t tell who was more excited to see the other, her or my Chester! I would wholeheartedly recommend Lina to anyone seeking a loving, attentive, and dependable caretaker while you’re away.”
“Yi is the best! My dog absolutely loves going there and always comes back so happy and exhausted from playing all day. She sends so many great pictures of them throughout the day.”
About: Family love!! We now own a Bugg (boston terrier/pug mix) named Moxie who is 4 and previously owned a rescue pug named Rosie who lived to be 15. We have a single family home and large fully fenced in yard and love pet sitting all our neighbors' pets! We also have three boys (ages 5, 9, 12) who are comfortable around pets and love to play with them. My husband and I both telework so someone is home every day of the week. Either my husband or I am home every day. We typically walk our Bugg, Moxie, 3 times a day and also have a large fully fenced yard for her to play. Our current dog, Moxie, is free to roam our house all day and she sleeps in our son's room at night in her doggie bed. We don't mind dogs on our furniture or in any room, but can also provide separation or crating if desired.
“Our dog Remy seems to have had a very nice experience during his first visit to daycare with Shoham. It was evident that she genuinely cared about the pets under her care and provided us with updates throughout the day. The house has an ideal backyard for dogs and Remy is looking forward to future visits!”
About: Lifelong dog mom with experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I provide attentive, WFH care, medication support, structured routines, safe socialization, and lots of love and cuddles. I require a complimentary meet and greet at least one week before booking to confirm compatibility and ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I work a flexible hybrid schedule and plan my days around dog stays, ensuring frequent check-ins, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, with care. I maintain a clean, calm, non-smoking home and prioritize safety, supervision, and trust, treating every dog with the same care as my own, always thoughtfully. 1 week prior meet and greet required!
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
About: Hi I'm a puppy lover, and I work from home. We are surrounded by many parks and would love to take your dog out to play. We have both grown up with dogs and would love to have our own one day but currently we travel abroad for a month every year which makes owning a dog a challenge. I would love to look after your puppy as my own! Why I love dog sitting We have always had dogs in our family. Since we travel internationally for over a month period almost every year, it is difficult for us to own one currently and therefore through Rover, we are able to get our puppy fix. About my yard We do have a huge yard My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. My husband and I work from home and our parents are young, retired and live with us so we have 4 adults to help as needed. We only offer dog sitting in our home. Ofcourse we will feed them, walk them, pick up after them and offer unconditional cuddles if they allow us :)
“Daisy enjoyed her 5-hour stay with Rae yesterday. They went for two walks together, which Daisy loved. Rae was very conscientious and asked questions to be sure that Daisy would be comfortable and happy during her stay. I recommend Rae if you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“Candace continues to be an amazing dog sitter for my 1-year old pup. I really appreciate her responsiveness as well. She is always super pleasant and my dog has the best time at her house. He always comes home happy!”
“Byamba was exceptional! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with his loving family. We received regular updates and Luka was very happy when we picked him up. Thanks again for your help!”
About: I have taken care of my friends and familys pups and I have two 13 year old pups! I love being around dogs and spending time with them! I am currently available everyday until I leave to college where I will study veterinary! I am also very flexible with my schedules. Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pups! I have an unfenced backyard if your pup is trained off-leash. I have a dog park nearby my house. My neighbor is super dog friendly with sidewalks all around!
“Elena was really great with my dog! I’ve used her a few times now and my dog is super excited to be there and comes back to me super happy having had a great day with Elena!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.

Lina was very sweet and took a little time to chat with me before I left our pup with her. She shared helpful photos and updates. We were having our pup stay for a partial day and it went well so we decided to have April stay at Lina’s while we were in vacation. Thank you Lina and family!
Shoham was so so SO accommodating & willing to see if daycare with her would work with my sweet boy who has a some separation anxiety in new spaces. Even though it ultimately didn’t work out on my pups end, he had a blast playing in her beautiful fenced backyard & with all of her pups! I’ll absolutely work on crate training him & hope to see her again in the future when I do
Mr.Buttons returned to Yi's place after a long break & had the most amazing, fun day. He enjoyed playing with his friends there & we love the fact that the other dogs are similar in size, so there is no issue with safety even if they play rough. Can't recommend Yi enough & will definitely be back soon.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Potomac on Rover is $54.39 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 Potomac 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 5,446 sitters in Potomac, 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.
