“Ryan and Sabrina have been wonderful as sitters for Toby. He loves going there and especially loves their big yard. They are very flexible with any changes and always accomodating. I totally recommend 100%.”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Kelly and George were amazing. They helped ease some of my anxiety of leaving my new pup at daycare. We even had a meet & greet for us before booking. My pup had already experienced a rough first year before adoption and I didn't want the experience to be triggering for him. When we arrived, my pup was excited to see George again and ran right to him. Both Kelly and George did a great job of keeping me updated and sending pics. I will certainly book again.”
“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”
“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
About: I have had dog experience since a young age. Starting in 8th grade I walked neighbors dogs which expanding out to boarding them. Now what was a hobby turned into a job I love! Weekends I offer dog walking and play time! I’m so excited to meet your pups🐶 For boarding: I have a large backyard with a long Frisco Tie Out cable so your dog can enjoy some outside time. I have 3 fur babies to keep your dog company but it’s nothing I can’t handle! I aim to keep your dogs comfortable and as active as possible while your away. For walking: Every Dog loves a good walk, for some dogs this is their primary source of exercise. That’s why I love to make sure a dog gets the most out of their walk🙂 My Schedule: I am currently a grad student so my availability varies, but I have lots of flexibility. Daily availability listed is frequently updated. Tuesdays & Thursdays: Open Availability Monday & Wednesday: Open Availability Saturday: Open availability Sunday: Open availability I have a large and small crate on site (as needed) as well as 3 furry friends to keep your pet company while you’re away.
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Jazmin took great care of Bella. She was very accommodating with a last minute schedule change. Bella had injured her leg previously and was still recovering, needing to be kept quiet during her stay. Jazmin was sensitive to this request and gave great feedback about her activity during the day. I'll definitely be booking again!”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”

About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.

Alexis was so wonderful! It was our pup's first Rover experience and she communicated extremely quickly and gave us all the info we needed. He had a fabulous day, we got photos and a full report after and he will be going back soon! Thank you Alexis, would definitely recommend to a friend!
I had such an amazing doggy day care experience with Makaela! I had some last-minute work things come up and she was super flexible and understanding when I needed to drop off my dog Cash for many hours during the day. Cash loved staying at Makaela’s for a couple days and was always well taken care of. I enjoyed reading Cash’s detailed report cards and seeing his pictures from each day. Cash and I loved our experience with Makaela so much that we’ve already booked her for more dog sitting! Thanks Makaela!!!
Ruth provided excellent service and was flexible in meeting my schedule. She is very friendly and quickly responded to my text messages with all questions answered. She shared her awesome home with Loki for the day and he thoroughly enjoyed himeself. I will definately contact her for the next time I need a pup sitter. Thanks Ruth.
“Absolutely amazing experience! caring, and genuinely loves the dogs. From the moment we walked in, I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in Lanese care. I received updates and could tell my dog was having a great time. My pup came home happy, tired, and excited to return—which says a lot Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving doggy daycare

Jazmin was responsive and accepted my last minute request. She sent photos and videos while my dog was in her care, which I really appreciated since it was the first time she had been with anyone besides family. I would definitely use Jazmin’s services again.
Lindsey is amazing with my puppy Cozy! She’s very attentive, caring, and goes out of her way to make sure he’s happy. I love that she always sends me photos and updates about his day it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in The Highlands on Rover is $35.52 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 The Highlands 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 3,835 sitters in The Highlands, 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.
