“Sherry and her husband were amazing. They took wonderful care of our puppy while we went and rode the train. And we’re so grateful for all of the pictures and videos they sent while he was there. Would definitely use them again!”
“Thank you so much Matalyn! She was so great with our husky! She’s flexible and allowed us to drop off our dog earlier since we arrived early in the city for the royal gorge train ride.”
About: While I am new to the app, I have a vested interest in pet care. In addition to my three dogs, I have a cat and two additional dogs that live on my property. I have been breeding puppies and providing training for the last four years. Training is not exclusive to the puppies but for new owners as well. I provide information of fresh food diets in relation to overall health. I am available for leash training upon request. I currently only work two days a week, averaging less that 20 hours. I have two teenagers who are also home and available to help as needed. We have a dog door that allows the dogs free run of almost a half an acre of property. I have a fully fenced yard that keeps in two large and three small dogs with no issues. There are five dogs on the property to keep yours company. They are all up to date on their shots and and all very friendly. All five have been raised with each other, kids and 2 cats.
“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life and have had many different pets from childhood into adulthood. I have been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 10 years. I live an active lifestyle and love to take runs/walks (your dogs can join me)! I work part-time from home, with a very flexible schedule, so I can make just about any time work for the care of your fur baby! I will be able to let your pet out as much as needed and will be sure to make them a priority! I live on Fort Carson with a fenced yard (with grass!!!!) and pet friendly home. The area is very walkable! I will ensure that your pet is in a safe environment. I like to stick to the animal's routine as much as possible, hang out with them, and make sure they get as much exercise as they need. I have one dog - a labradoodle who is fixed and very friendly - he would love to play with your dogs too!
“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Rosie!! She obviously had a great time, she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up. Thank you for the pictures! You really helped me out more than you know!”
About: Your dogs will be treated like my children, 3 acres of secure fence to play, puppy & senior care. For your convenience, pick up and delivery available if needed. I am a retired "home body". Your dogs will be cared for and watched over at all times. They are welcome inside and outside, with my removable doggie door, they are allowed on furniture and in bed too! My dogs are my children, and yours will be smothered in love while they are here too! I have a removable doggie door if needed, if not, I am home for tailored potty breaks as needed. You schedule your designated feeding times.
“Wonderful first sitter experience! Wendy had a wonderful time with Kiley last week. Although we don’t need a frequent sitter, we met prior and I knew Wendy would be well cared for. I received pictures and videos throughout the day. Kiley is kind and loves animals!”
About: I would love to care for your pets. I offer a friendly,safe, and loving home. I will play with and give plenty of love and attention. I'm retired so I have plenty time to care for your babies. Any day of the week. Overnights or only daycare. My home or yours. At this time I don't have a pet. I lost my dog a while back. I don't have a fenced yard. I do have a large gated deck where your pet can go out and relax.
“I dropped my pup Monkey off for a few hours with Sarah while my partner and I went to the hot springs. Sarah had a few other dogs in the house and she let us come in and meet the pack/ watch Monkey meet them all. One of the dogs wasn't thrilled about the new member so we decided it was best to keep the pack split. Monkey had a blast playing with a new friend outside in the yard and inside, and Sarah sent me photos and a video which I loved :) I would definitely trust Sarah again to watch my baby girl!”
About: With 5 years of dog boarding experience, I welcome dogs of any size and any needs into my home — from small breeds to large, energetic pups to gentle seniors, and dogs with special routines or extra care requirements. I'm attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether that means specific feeding schedules, medications, mobility considerations, or just knowing how much play versus rest they like. Your dog will get consistent, personalized care, a safe environment, and plenty of attention while you're away — I treat every dog boarding with me like a member of the family. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I'm home all day for belly scratches, potty breaks and walks. This means your dog will get LOTS of attention. I have a fenced yard and a very happy loving 4 year old Golden Retriever who is always happy to meet new friends and show them around. We do have three children so its important your dog be kid friendly (this also means 3x the belly scratches).
“The dogs had a blast! Erica is very quick to respond, keep you updated & has a very fun backyard for your pups!! Can’t wait to use her again ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing couple! I had someone ghost my dogs at the last minute. But they answered and were totally understanding about it being last. They were super friendly! Even my one girl dog who is hesitant about men gave Anderw lots of kisses like she knew him!! I’m very happy with getting to meet them and we will definitely be booking with them in the future! Doba and Addie will love to see you guys again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Janae was great to Ostito. She was flexible and took care of Ostio last minute. Osito seem to have had a great time as he showed no signs of distress.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Adelaide
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 432 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Adelaide. 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 Adelaide 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 CO 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 432 sitters in Adelaide, 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.
