“can’t say enough great things about these two! They came through for me in a sliver of time and made sure every single one of my requests was taken care of. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress free, ESPECIALLY with everything being so last minute. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and their owners. If you need someone reliable who will go above and beyond when you really need help, this is definitely the person to call!”

““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”
“We were visiting from out of state and needed somewhere for our pups to hang out while we did touristy things. We looked for someone that was highly rated and after reviewing profiles we found Alexis. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our dogs. She’s friendly, competent, and our dogs loved her. THANK YOU ALEXIS!”
“Another great stay with Marliez! Our boy Ranger always leaves so satisfied and tired (in the best way). We love that he gets to take good walks, play at the park, nap comfortably, and be watched so attentively. And Marliez’s communication during daycare is all we could hope for.”
“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
About: I’ve owned cats for 30+ years. I helped care for a family dog in my young adulthood for 4+ years. Our family just started dog sitting for friends when needed and all parties involved adjust well to bringing new pets temporarily into the home. Even though we do not have our own dog we love and enjoy dogs. We are flexible with the type, age and size of dog. My kids and I love going on walks and being out in our big back yard. Having a dog join us for these times just makes it even more enjoyable! We understand that a pet is a part of the family and therefore we will treat your pet like part of our family for the duration of their stay. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule is flexible and we are usually not out of the house for more than a couple hours at a time and this is just occasionally. We have an excellent yard that any dog would go crazy for. I have young kids who will love on and play with your dogs. I am happy to go by any instructions you give me on how best to care for your pet. I am flexible in my schedule. I am a stay at home mom. This allows me to be available for your pet and their needs. We will treat your pet like they are part of the family while they stay with us. My kids and I will engage with them throughout the day by playing outside/inside and going on walks.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer a second home for your furry loved ones. From daily walks and feedings to cuddles and playtime, every pet is showered with so much love and attention. Whether it’s senior pets needing gentle care or energetic pups who love adventure, I tailor each visit to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I always communicate clearly so you feel at ease while you’re away. Because pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 🐾 I stay busy driving for Uber and caring for dogs full-time. I have a super flexible schedule so if you need me to take care of your dog on a short notice if I’m not already booked, I’m happy to help! I’m devoted to giving your furry loved one plenty of attention, affection, and all the snuggles they deserve! 🐾 I live in a very safe and dog friendly environment. I do not have a fenced yard, however, my community is very dog friendly that has a park right behind my house and walk friendly paths to take your fur baby on. I also care for cats as I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience taking care of little kittens and pups to seniors. If you’d like me to check in on your fur baby at the comfort of your home, please feel free to reach out so I can coordinate a time where I can come and give your fur baby some loving care 💕
“Charvé was a life saver with a last minute request when my other sitter arrangements changed. She was warm and welcoming and she kept me updated. My dog also had a blast meeting new friends.”
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
“I have to be very selective with my puppy because not everyone has the comfort to take care of small breeds that may need more surveillance and can’t fully regulate themselves yet. Janay was quick to respond to my messages and answered my questions so thoroughly so I was confident that she’d be a good fit. She asked how often I wanted to get updates and went above even what I requested to make sure I knew my pup was well looked after! I know my little guy was well taken care of and had fun day with Janay - he was so tired when I picked him up 😆😴 Would totally rebook with her!”
“Aviah was so nice to accept a last minute daycare request. She has a large area for the dogs and a wonderful fenced back yard. We really appreciated the time she took with us when dropping off our dogs, the care that they received, the communications, and photos. Highly recommend! Very professional!”
“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.”
“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”

My dog had a great time at Sabrina and Ryan’s. From the meet and greet, communications leading up to the day of booking, and pick up/ drop off, Sabrina and Ryan were very professional and friendly. My pup was tired out from a day playing at their place and I will definitely book him in for another visit in the future

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!!!

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.

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 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
