“Linda was great! She was able to take my boy for the day on less than 24hr notice. She was great with Aspen and took cute photos. I am so happy with his care. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they receive individualized care and feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I am currently working full-time, mostly remote with one or two days in the office each month. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a calm, attentive environment and carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, or special needs.
“My dog had a wonderful overnight stay! They were well cared for, happy, and relaxed when I picked them up. Great communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in their hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve always had a pet ever since I can remember. Dogs, cats, potbelly pigs, hedgehogs, you name it. My love for pets guides my life. I have three rescue dogs of my own. I have owned puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. I have a very well sized back yard that is fenced in. Your animal will be in amazing care on my watch, as I would treat them as my own. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to doggie board on weekends. I am able to drop in and dog walk throughout the day Monday- Sunday. I am well experienced with puppy care & senior care. From administering pills or oral medication to crating animal when needed I am well experienced with it all. I have years of experience and have had animals with a wide range of needs. I love animals with all of my heart and provide compassionate care. If you are interested in dog sitting I can provide services in your home or mine. I only ask that the dog is crate trained because I also have dogs and will need to take turns letting your pets & my pets outside into my backyard for restroom, play, & exercise. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard that your dogs will enjoy.
“Kelly is an AMAZING sitter. I don't worry about my fur babies when I leave them with Kelly. They always are super tired when I pick them up from the awesome playtime. She sends pictures and updates without having to ask and is super flexible. 10 OUT OF 10 RECOMMEND!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, from birth to the end. I have given medication also, so if you have an animal with medical needs, I can handle them. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available weekdays and weekends, whatever suits your schedule. I have a fenced yard for your dogs. I can care for cats in my home. Whatever your needs are for your pets, I can handle them.
About: Hi I’m Lindsay! I love spending time with our extroverted dog Zoomy 🐾 and with my cousin’s two cats Windex 🐈 and Squirt 🐈⬛. Zoomy would love to have some friends come over to play. I am a super responsible and clean person and would love to care for your fur babies while you’re away! Right now I have very flexible scheduling so send me a message! I can do daytime hours or evenings, just let me know. I’d be happy to work with you and your schedule. We have a big yard with an invisible fence for your dog to run around. Plenty of space inside the house to play too! I will make sure to give your dog plenty of water and potty breaks and meticulously follow any instructions you leave me!
“Lillian and her family are truly a blessing. We definitely will be using their services again. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving environment for our Hazel. Our little Hazel ran to the door every morning she stayed there! Very prompt with any questions we had before and during Hazel's care. Very understanding when I was running late. They were the perfect choice and we were blessed to have found them.”
“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Wilderness is $27 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wilderness. 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 Wilderness 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 131 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.

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.
