“I cannot recommend Melissa enough! From the very first booking, she has been reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs. The updates, photos, and videos she sends always give me peace of mind and make it clear that my puppy is not just being watched, he is genuinely being cared for and loved. Archie absolutely adores her and gets excited every time he sees her. She creates a safe, fun, and engaging environment, and it’s obvious that she treats every dog in her care like family. Melissa goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets her apart is the extra effort and thoughtfulness she puts into caring for the dogs. For Archie’s first birthday, she hosted a birthday celebration with the other dogs in her care. Seeing him celebrated with treats, friends, and adorable photos was such a great feeling and meant so much to our family. It was one of those moments that reminded me how fortunate we are to have found someone who genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, responsive, and will care for your dog as if they were her own, look no further. We are so grateful to have found her, and Archie is always excited for his next visit.”
“Max was really nice and good with my dogs, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and she was comfortable around him, my dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
“Chris came through at a very critical time for us . This was our first time leaving our Rocky with anyone and we were very nervous of leaving him. But we are very pleased with everything , Chris was very responsive and sent pictures of our dog while we were away .”
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have a large, fenced-in yard for my 2-year old Black Russian Terrier male dog (the sweetest thing) to romp around, and I have a dog door that freely opens to the yard so your pet can go outside whenever they want. I also have chickens in the backyard, but they are secured in their run, so they are just eye candy for the doggies. Since I work from home, I am always at my house, and my office window looks over the yard, so there is always a watchful eye over the pets. The fence surrounding my house is always locked so there is total security, and of course if your pet wants to cool off or warm up--they have full access to the house with soft beds to lay in.
“Aja did everything a dog parent could ask for in caring for our two Bichons while we ran some errands. We loved the updates and photos she sent and took care of one dog’s “accidents” without a complaint. She is a pro and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Alejandra is an a amazing! Me and my Miniature Schnauzer WALL-E relocated. We've been trying to find someone loving, caring and great with fur babies. Our MEET and Greet with her was so inviting. She introduced us to handsome lil guy Ritchie (Pomeranian). WALL-E and Ritchie for familiar with each other with no worries!. I used the day care service. Alejandra was great with communicating. Very professional and she loves showing love to WALL-E. She presented videos, photos and kept me updated on how my lil guy was doing throughout the day. Thank you WALL-E and Q”
About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.
“Joanna is a very kind hearted sitter. Drake fell in love with her the first time he meet her. Remi is a cool dude who has confidence and is very friendly. I have zero worries whne Drake is in her care.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I can assist with basic puppy routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and helping reinforce simple training habits. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, medication reminders if needed, and a calm environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also focus on keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured while away from their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m organized and dependable, so I’m able to stay consistent with each pet’s routine and any special instructions provided by owners. I also make sure pets get plenty of love, patience, and companionship, whether that’s active playtime for energetic pets or calm, gentle care for senior animals. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I always make it a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping their normal routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while I’m there. If caring for pets in my own home (if applicable), I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I always prioritize safety by monitoring them closely, providing fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of interaction so they don’t feel lonely or anxious. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are well cared for, happy, and comfortable at all times. Communication with the owner is also important to me, so I provide updates to give peace of mind while they are away.
About: I am considered and called the “Dog Whisperer” amongst my Doggie group and family. I love and take care of dogs and cats as if they were my own kids. I telework and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to be attentive and available for your fur babies as I am to my own. I am able to make schedule accommodations, if necessary. I offer an intimate and warm family environment when I welcome your babies into my home. They are not treated as if they are in confinement and/or at a dog shelter, but as if they are a part of my family. Although they are free to roam the house, crating will be used if needed. If you are welcoming me in your home whether it’s to drop in or home sit, I am here to see fit that I continue the same patterns of the schedule and routine and to express the love you give your babies as if you were here.

“Latoya is great! Arlo loves his stay with her and her pups ! She is very observant and keeps you up to date via photos and videos of them in walks and relaxing at home!

Such a sweet person! We had her watch our puppy while we were in DC for a couple days trips and we didn’t want him to be locked up all day. He definitely was in good hands. Updated periodically about how he was doing, he was very excited the second day he spent with her, walked right up to her door :) we will definitely reach out to her again while we are in the area staying with family. Thank you so much!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Temple Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Temple Hills on Rover is $32.19 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,145 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Temple Hills. 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 Temple Hills 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 5,145 sitters in Temple Hills, 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.
