Lee was incredible with Edith. She handled her slight anxiety like a pro and was flexible when we needed to shift our timing a little. We'll definitely be booking with Lee again.

Diana is a kind soul and an amazing host for my puppy. She’s been very helpful with potty training and always makes sure everything feels safe and comfortable. Her adorable dog, Charlie, is super chill and friendly, which makes the environment even better. Diana is flexible, responsive, and you can feel her genuine passion for caring for animals. We’re already asking her to set up regular visits because we trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Andy is the best! He knows Kiki since she was about 5 months old puppy (now almost a year old) and has been always reliable, kind, flexible, punctual, and genuinely cares for her wellbeing. Today Kiki had another fun daycare at his house and didn’t seem to want to leave! She was happily tired and slept on our way home— I so appreciated :) I always receive the report card containing pictures and care/walk diary after I pick her up too. Thank you again Andy! Kiki and I will look forward to seeing you next time~

Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best care. I am attentive, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. In addition to general pet care, I’m comfortable with senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. I often walk to the park, which give me the opportunity to interact with dogs from other neighbors or friends. I really enjoy these walks, where the dogs can socialize and explore, making me feel comfortable taking care of them in the future. Also, during our outings, I always make sure to be attentive to the needs of the dogs I meet, giving them quality time and exercise. My approach is always in an active environment, full of love and respect, and I’d love to share that with the pets. I live with my two daughters, and we’re always looking for outdoor activities. We love going to the park, where we play, run, and explore together. When I care for a pet, I make sure they enjoy these walks and have a great time. I provide a safe and comfortable space at home, with lots of attention and love, and of course, I enjoy taking them to local parks where they can socialize and burn energy. At home, they feel like part of the family since my daughters are also very affectionate with the dogs. Every day is a new adventure for us, and pets are always welcome to join in on our daily activities

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.

About: I have been a volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance for the past 3 years. I am the person that talks to all animals, flowers, plants etc. My two pups were rescues, there human had died. I saw them on Facebook, went to the petstore and came home with two papilions! They were 8 & 9 years old, the littiest things. My heart! They lived the best life up until the day they left us. After that I started at the shelter helping everyone else get the same chance. I have learned so much about behavior and care. I am trained in all departments except the spay and neuter. I am also 1/2 way complete Fearless Shelter Training Cert, this is what staff recieve for cats and dogs. I am currently looking for a job and volunteering with the Humane Rescue Alliance and the American Red Cross. I would love to have a pet, but I know I can't commit to one at the moment, so I enjoy helping care for animals whenever possible. My schedule is flexible. I live in a secure condo building with a large private patio and easy access to a shaded grassy area. I am just a few blocks from Rock Creek Park and Pierce Mill, so there are plenty of places to enjoy the outdoors. I will be the one caring for your pet. Your pet will have my full attention while staying with me.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Westgate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Westgate on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,362 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Westgate. 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 Westgate 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 5,362 sitters in Westgate, 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.
