“My pup Kodi goes to doggy daycare with Ming and his team. He runs to their door every morning, wagging his tail waiting to go in. I get daily updates with photos and/or texts, and so get to see how much fun he is having while I am at work. The house is a little doggy retreat, with lots of places for pups to rest and a nice backyard to play in. Kodi has a great time and comes home tired from a fun filled day.”
“Israel took such great care of my puppy! They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. They kept me informed about how he was doing, responded quickly to my messages, and were incredibly friendly. It was clear that my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Israel again and highly recommend them!”
“The Wenyan and Purple team are super super amazing! I was so nervous to leave Boba somewhere because sometimes his anxiety gets the best of him. After reading about all the care that the Wenyan and Purple team give to their fellow visitors, we had to see and try them for ourself…and let me tell you!! They were everything they said and more!! Purple is super sweet and Boba had an awesome time. We only did 4 hours just to try it out and we were provided ample photos and video of Boba and his new friends! We will def be bringing him back and thank you for taking care of our baby!!! ❤️❤️”
“Bandit had a blast today spending the day with Nicole, playing with her dog Bobby and another neighborhood dog Lychee. He enjoyed the view from her place, had lots of play time but also cuddle time on the couch! Nicole sent regular updates with pictures and videos. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I've been caring for my 4 cats on a daily basis for a decade. In addition, I dog sit overnight for my partner every couple of weeks. I work from home, so leaving in the middle of the day is rather simple. In fact it's a nice change of scenery to get outside and be with a cute animal 🥰 I unfortunately can't care for pets in my home as my cats run the joint. But I love meeting new animals, playing with them, and getting out!
“Cherry seemed to have a great time! She came back bouncy and happy with a much less full battery. We're so grateful that she was treated like one of his own. We'll definitely be booking in the future if they'll have her! Thanks for everything Ben!”
“My dog Nala loves Gracie! She’s usually picky about who she warms up to but she loved Gracie immediately. Gracie sent lots of updates and is super communicative. Glad to have found a great sitter for my pup and look forward to booking with Gracie again :)”
“Sriju is a very kind person. She is attentive to my dog, Daisy, when she stays for the day. Daisy loves staying with her. I will continue to keep bringing my dog to stay with Sriju🐶🥰”
“We are very happy with the care that Milo received both during day care as well as during a week long boarding recently. Sophia is meticulous in her caring and it is clear she loves dogs. Milo is demonstrably happy when we drive up to her house. There is a large backyard where the dogs can run around. Sophia only cares for medium sized dogs, so we had no concern on this account.”
“I was very, very happy with the care given to my dog by Sasha. The check-in/check-out process was very easy. Sasha sent several pictures throughout the day, along with messages to let me know how my dog was doing. I could tell that my dog really enjoyed herself at Sasha's as she was still in high spirit when I picked her up. My dog also went to bed a little earlier than usual, which told me that she was pretty active during her stay. I plan on using Sasha again in the very near future, and highly recommend her services!”
“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.”
“I worked with Huan for doggy day care while I was away for the day. She was very kind from the start and very responsive to messages and communication. I really appreciate how welcoming she was to both myself and my dog. She ensured that I was comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and made sure to understand any needs for my pup and any concerns I might have had. Was a great experience and I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“Maria was so great with our rescue pup! We were nervous to leave our pup with a new sitter but she kept us up to date all day. Maris was a strong communicator and very thoughtful. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter who really cares about dogs and cats and their well being!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
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
I needed a last minute sitter for my 3month puppy and Nurit was super fast at responding! I had a lot of anxiety leaving such a young puppy with someone but Nurit was amazing! She took my puppy on a long walk and even did some command work with him. I will definitely be reaching back out whenever I am in need of a dog sitter!
Chuy seemed to have a wonderful time at his evening with Oyindamola! When I picked him up he looked so happy and said goodbye to her at least 3 times. 😊 She was very kind and helped him feel comfortable when he was a little nervous at first. I highly recommend!
Jemma enjoyed her time with Carlos and Travis. I can always tell by how well she sleeps when she comes home. They made sure she had plenty of backyard play and indoor rest. When I needed to adjust my pickup time, they graciously accommodated and communicated well with me. I appreciate them caring for my fur baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rockville on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of August 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 Rockville 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 5,488 sitters in Rockville, 86% 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.
