“Asara was very sweet. She sent me several cute pics and updates about my pup during his stay. When I went to pick him up, he did not want to leave! I will definitely take him back.”
About: I am a mother of 2 furry babies, Fluffy and Jini. I have had a love for animals since I was born! I treat all animals and pets as I treat my own, with compassion. I've raised multiple dogs that have been adopted by myself and/or family members all varying in size and breed. Since I was a child to now I’ve always had pets in the home. Now, I am a mother of 2 fur babies. My first is Fluffy, given to me at 2 months old. My second is Jini, adopted from the Humane Society at 11 weeks. I like going for long walks with my furry companions. I always make time during my days for playtime when a furry friend seeks amusement. We love to play tag, toss a ball around, play tug of war, and squeak toys. Whenever it's time to relax, my definition of Netflix and Chill consists of me and my fur babies snuggled up. I spoil my dogs so much that shop local at Hollywood Feeds and online at Chewy and Amazon for new treats and toys together. Dog walking- I can walk for as little as 5mins to as long as an hour as requested by owner; walking distance or going to the dog park is not an issue as long as the booking time permits. Drop-In Visits or House sitting- I am more than happy to check in on pets as if they are my own, I’ll feed pets according to specifications amount and times given and of course have we will have a little playtime. I can stay as needed and will accommodate accordingly. ** For House-sitting I am unable to stay in the house overnight so I do provide 3-4 visits throughout the day to accommodate their needs. From hours 7am-11pm Daycare & Boarding- All breeds and sizes are welcome! Furry friends must be potty trained as friendly with other dogs. Daycare hours are from 8am-6pm. Otherwise an extended stay charge will be added. I currently work from home so my work schedule is pretty flexible. Most of my weekends are usually free for extra walks, playtime and more. I follow guidelines of my clients as best to my abilities in their home. I always walk the pups on a leash and roam free indoors for playtime. I show each pup as much love as I do for and as my own.
“First time booking Rossi and Riley with Richard and family. He is fantastic, warm and friendly. He took the time to meet us and our pups before their stay which made us feel comfortable. He is an excellent communicator, sent pictures and videos throughout which put our mind at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. I definitely recommend Richard.”
“Layla was amazing with Coco and Dragon during their short visit! Even though it was just for a few hours, she treated them with so much love and care—like they were her own. She sent me the cutest photo updates and made me feel totally at ease. I could tell my babies were happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have raised them from playful puppies through old age. About 10 years ago, while working as a nanny, I also cared for two energetic husky mixes — from daily walks and playtime to feeding and snuggles. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from the patience and training puppies need to the gentle care older dogs deserve. No matter their age or personality, I’ll love and treat your dog like my own. I work from home, so I’m available Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 5:30 PM. During the day, I usually take 2–3 ten-minute walks and also have time for play in my fenced-in backyard or plenty of cuddle breaks inside. On weekends, I offer boarding with drop-offs anytime after 8 AM on Fridays and pick-ups through 5:30 PM on Mondays. I have a fully fenced-in backyard with 6-foot privacy fencing and gates set up to keep dogs out of anything unsafe. Since I work from home upstairs, dogs will be gated with me so I can always keep an eye on them. If you have an older pup who shouldn’t do stairs, just let me know and I’ll happily adjust to work downstairs with them. On weekends, any errands I run are kept under 2 hours, and I can crate your dog if that makes you more comfortable. I also love sending picture and video updates so you can see how much fun your pup is having while you’re away!
“Stephanie took great care of Peanut. I received updates with pictures and videos throughout day. You can tell the love Stephanie has for dogs and cats. She feeds stray cats, takes good care of hers and other fur babies.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, having raised my own since childhood and dog sat for others. I am deeply dedicated to providing superior care tailored to each dog's unique needs. As a dedicated homemaker, I have substantial time during the day to dedicate to the care and well-being of your cherished companions, with flexibility to accommodate changing needs.

“Lan is wonderful! I let Luci with her two years ago while visiting my mom in Georgia and was so lucky that she was available for this visit! I will be here much of the summer and Luci will be going to "Lan Camp" as often as needed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life and always have a soft spot for them! Neighbors, friends, and family have always been able to reach out to me to feed, walk and sometimes even bathe them after too much outside fun! I recently moved to GA with my husband and 3 year old. I’m currently working from home and would love to be able to get out of the house and with your pets! We have a spacious home and half of acre of fenced yard space to let your pups run wild and free. We currently only have one cat since we lost our fur baby last July.
About: I’m at a stay-at-home mom with both of my kids out of the house for college/post-grad, so ever since a year ago, I’ve been taking care of my sweet 3 year old cavachon, Miko. I’ve been taking care of him like he’s my own baby, making sure he’s fed fresh food, taking him outside on walks regularly, and maintaining his great hygiene. Rest assured I can take your puppy on walks with the same level of attentiveness and love! Your puppy will be in great company with myself & Miko, who’s always very friendly with fellow puppies. Like I previously mentioned, I'm a stay-at- home mom with the kids out of the house, so taking care of my puppy is currently my full time job! I have plenty of time to play with your puppy & take them on walks whether in our home's spacious yard or the park (my go-to park currently in Alexander Park!). I'm available for walks once a day every week. I have a fenced spacious yard and my own friendly and bubbly puppy to keep your puppy company, looking forward meeting you and your little one.
“She is great with Max, he truly enjoys going over. He’s always well taking care of. She gives him various walks throughout the day. Is kind and professional thank you for your service.”
“Karen and her family are amazing! Lola felt so comfortable there, and they treated her just like their own. She has a large, fenced yard where Lola could run and chase the ball around and was also able to sit on the bed and enjoy snuggles and belly rubs! She kept us updated on Lola and how her day was going and sent lots of pictures! I HIGHLY recommend Karen for your pet sitter/daycare needs! Her family and home are so organized and equipped to provide care for dog(s). I cannot say enough about Karen and her family! Lola will definitely be back to visit and have play dates.”
“Absolutely great and accommodating to your requests, my pup was happy and sleepy after a full day under her and her pup’s care! Definitely would recommend to anyone ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Allendale
I’m so grateful we found Richard! Our Sheepadoodle had started becoming a bit of a homebody—increasingly antisocial with other dogs, extra clingy with our family, and just overall board of his same surroundings. We’re knew he needed more socialization, but after a bad boarding experience elsewhere, I was hesitant about trying boarding or daycare again. From the moment we met Richard, his calm, easygoing demeanor immediately put both us and our fog at ease. Lately, our dog has been barking at strangers and usually takes a while to warm up to new people. This time was completely different. He settled right in, felt comfortable at Richard’s home, and genuinely seemed to have a wonderful time. This has been the best experience for us and our dog. Richard has a gift for what he does.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Allendale on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 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 .

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 Allendale 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 GA 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.
