“Jessica is so positive, kind and friendly! Our two doggies came home happy and tired from the day visit with Jessica and her dog. Thank you for caring for our fur babies.”
“First time using Beth to dog sit and she is such a sweet lady and loves dogs! Extremely responsive and flexible. She’s so knowledgeable and attentive. And for our 1.5 year old German wire haired pointer - so patient! Highly recommend her!”
“Well all I can say is Jill is a godsend! I was referred to her by some neighbors in my community. My dog is a rescue and doesn’t have very much confidence or socialization . She said that was fine and she would work with him. Jill is very calm and definitely knows what she is truth dogs. She has a great fenced in backyard where he can run a play. Jill has two dogs of her own that Odin got a long with pretty darn quick. I would recommend Jill 100%. I’m so happy I found her ❤️”
“2nd time working with Jan, this time for day care, and my dog flew out the car to say hi to her, and, without saying goodbye to me, went to hang out with the other pups there. This normally anxious gal loves hanging at Jan’s!”
“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”
“They did amazing with my two Shih Tzus you can tell they felt safe and enjoyed their time there . I most definitely would take them again if I’m ever around the area visiting . They send you pictures for updated that’s a big yay 🙂 thank you so much for caring for my two pups .”
About: I have been in the pet care business for 10 years. When I first started working with dogs, I assisted dog walkers that had their own established dog walking businesses. The walkers I worked for provided off leash pack walk adventures! I assisted a number of walkers with their packs of dogs. I learned a lot by assisting different walkers as I got exposed to different methods and strategies of managing the dogs as well as gained experience handling different breeds! It was the most fun I ever had at a job! I decided to get certified in hopes that I could possibly start my own business one day! Boy was I glad I did! The glorious day fell upon me when a walker that I was working for told me that a friend of theirs was selling their business! I was enthralled and decided to take a leap of faith! I bought it from her! I got to finally start my own business! What an amazing experience! I grew steadily and as I grew, I started to add other services to my business. I started to provide in home pet care at my clients' homes. This was such fun because I always felt like I was going on staycation! When I finally got a living situation where I could have pets at my place, I started offering boarding services! This was the ideal situation for all! I got to have groups of dogs over at my place vs. having to be limited to just a dog or two depending on the house I was sitting at! It was so much more fun when the pups had other friends to play with when their owners had to leave them! I was in business for myself for 8 years! This all came to end when I decided to move to Idaho! But I miss being with all the doggos so much so I decided why not try to offer my services here so I can meet some great pups of the gem state! I have experience working with all sizes, a wide variety of breeds, dog that suffer from separation anxiety, senior dogs and puppies! I have worked with balance trainers and positive reinforcement trainers. I have 2 mentors who were in the business for 20+ years that have provided me with a plethora of training and education regarding dog psychology and behavior modification so you can rest assured that I will provide high quality care in a very comfortable home setting where your pup will be cared for as if they were my very own Stormy girl! Yes! I have my very own dog and her name is Stormy! She is a king shepherd who has been grown up walking in off leash pack walks since she was old enough to do so! She does great with all dogs but she especially loves the puppies! Let us know if you are interested in possibly coming over to our place for some fun! We can set up some meet times beforehand to make sure a sleep over would be a good fit! Stormy and I are looking forward to meeting all the gem pups of the beautiful gem state! I work from home, so I am able to stay with your pups pretty much the whole time while they are here! I am able to take dogs 7 days a week! I have a fenced backyard and of course I have my pup who can provide play and entertainment in addition to the love and care I will be providing!

“Amanda was great! She sent me photos and videos throughout the day. Ryder had a blast. Very nice and respectful. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone to watch/take care of their pups!”
“Elise is an amazing person! She was there when we needed her for our fur baby! She made our doggy feel so comfortable with her and her family. I really appreciate her for working with us.”
“Michael and Wendy are great! They are experienced with dogs, have a giant yard, and a very welcoming environment. They have a dog who loves to play. We had a great experience with them.”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am a true dog person through and through. I have four of my own that I care for as they are like my children. I currently work full time but would like to hangout with some fluffy friends on the side whenever I can. I am able to come take dogs for a walk after work or have them stay with me during my work day since I work from home as long as they are friendly with other dogs. My dogs are all up to date of vaccines as well. The weekends I usually am pretty open for drop by visits and dog walks. I have a fenced in yard so if I did have a dog stay with me during the day I work from home and have a fenced back yard with a dog door. If visiting a dogs home I would respect and follow their wishes to help take care and maintain their dogs needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 404 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Allendale. 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 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 ID 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 404 sitters in Allendale, 93% 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.
