About: Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved animals. Especially dogs. I have owned, trained, and taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have a special connection with dogs and bond with every dog I meet. My calming nature helps keep my furry friends at ease and trust in me. I am responsible, hardworking, empathetic, determined, and reliable. I truly believe that dogs are our best friends. I love taking long walks with dogs and giving them all the love, attention, care, and cuddles they need. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with and accommodate your pets needs or any special instructions. Making sure your pets are safe, happy, cared for, and in good hands is my top priority! I will treat your precious pets like they are my own fur children. I am currently on leave from my full time position temporarily, so I have plenty of time to give all my attention and love to your pet/pets. I am flexible and happy to accommodate whether it's a walk, drop in, house sitting, day care, or boarding in my home. My schedule is free and open to help you and your beloved fur family members. I have a 3 level house with lots of grass and space for your fur babies to walk and run and play! I am a softie when it comes to pets, especially dogs, and I will always take the best care of them and spoil them extra for you if you want as if they were my own. I am happy to accommodate any preferences and any comforts or rules you provide your pet regarding furniture, treats, special care, etc. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home currently.
About: Loving, Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! With a lifetime of experience around animals, 2 years as a professional dog groomer, and two happy pups of my own, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry family members. Whether it's walks, grooming, or just quality time, your pet will feel right at home. As a mom of two animal-loving kids, caring for pets is naturally woven into our daily routine. Whether we’re out for a walk, heading to the park, or spending quiet time at home, animals are always part of the mix. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve—just like family. With us, your pet becomes part of an active, loving environment where they’re never just a task on a to-do list—they're a priority. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I care for my own—by being intentional, flexible, and tuned into their needs. I plan their day around the weather and our household routine to make sure they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and attention. For example, if I know we’ll be out for dinner, I make sure my puppy gets plenty of playtime earlier in the day so he’s relaxed and ready to rest while we’re away. On hot days, I shift our schedule to enjoy cooler morning hours outside before the heat sets in. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with thoughtful adjustments made to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
About: I have had pets since a child (duck, rabbit, dogs, cats, iguanas) and just love them. I let dogs take their time when exploring and I don’t rush them unless I see that they have found a Scooby snack. Most dogs prefer to sit in my lap even when in the presence of their owner. They love me and I love them even the sassiest of them. I work from home which allows me to be available 24 hours a day. If your pet is a foodie, they will love it here (salmon bites, duck necks, chicken feet, ice cream, pup cups and frozen fruit on hot days). I will send an update the first evening and the morning after so you are certain that they have settled in. Thereafter I will send a picture or video daily but you are welcomed to check in at any time. My assistant Imani (my mom who lives with and assists with sitting), also enjoys loving on and helping with your babies. She may help with check in/ check out and walks. **I now have a cat and cannot accept dogs that aren’t cat friendly. I also cannot accept unfixed dogs and dogs that aren’t housebroken. I walk 3-5 miles in the morning and another in the evenings (less depending on the weather). I would love to take your baby along. I have a friendly dog. I use baby gates and can also crate your dog (you must bring the crate with you). They would sleep in my bedroom on the dog beds and have free range of the house (except the kitchen which has a gate up).
“Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.”
“Shawnna provides doggy daycare to our little Dobby Doodle puppy 2-3 days a week. She is fantastic with Dobby and he adores her! It is difficult leaving our puppy on days that my husband and I are both working, but I feel comfortable knowing he's loved and cared for by Shawnna. She is also very responsive and sends me sweet puppy pics throughout the day! If you're looking for a great doggy sitter, book with Shawnna-- Your pup will be in great hands!”
About: We have watched pets for many years and love to welcome furry friends into our family. We tend to shower them with a great deal of attention & TLC! 🫶 My spouse is home during the day and once our kids get home from school, your pet will enjoy even more love, playtime, and social interaction from our whole family. We offer supervision throughout the day, follow your pet’s feeding schedule, provide daily walks through our quiet neighborhood, and offer a cozy, clean indoor environment with plenty of love, play, and rest. Your pet becomes part of the family while they’re here.
About: Hi! My name is Katie. I've moved to Westminster, Maryland from Louisiana where I helped run a rescue and have had over a decade of experience with animals of all sorts. I am operations manager for a pet training/boarding facility and looking to make extra income by doing something I love, which is why I've turned to Rover. I would love to share my love for animals with you and help take care of your furbaby/babies! I live in Carroll County. (I do boarding in the owners home frequently through my full time job so I'm experienced and trust worthy) Please allow me to help you and I am flexible. I currently work with animals and am able to care for your dogs needs ❤️ they will be well cared for and loved very much. I am very detail oriented and love to make sure you're dog is as comfortable as can be while with me. Keeping to your dogs regular routines makes all the difference.
About: For the past 20 years, I have enjoyed taking care of friends’ and family’s dogs, mostly larger size but some medium-sized. As a stay-at-home mom, I offer flexible hours and a constant companion for dogs. While we don’t currently have a dog of our own, we want our little boy to be exposed to dogs at an early age. As a child, we always had a dog to take care of. As a teen, I earned money by taking care of others’ pooches. Now, I’d love to help others out with dog services so that, in this season of not having a dog of our own, I can still fill my dog love tank up by caring for others’ canines. I’d be honored to love on your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,416 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Upperco. 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 Upperco 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,416 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MD. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,416 sitters in Upperco, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
