“Erica was fantastic and obviously very savvy about dogs. She was wonderful with our dog Ziggy, and she has a beautiful property where dogs can play outside or relax in her home as Ziggy chose to do out of the heat. Erica texted us several times with updates and photos. She communicated well during the whole process. We definitely would recommend her for your doggy care and would use her again without hesitation. Thanks, Erica, for making our day at the Oregon Country Fair so much more enjoyable knowing Ziggy was well taken care of while we were there.!”
“Super friendly, loving and responsible doggy daycare for our 1- year old Berner! Ruby loved playing with the other dogs. She comes home content and happy. She will definitely want to come back to visit Valerie and her daughter Sara.”
“Angie has a great setup for dogs and was good with update texts and photos. Our rescue Goose hasn't been boarded since we got her so Angie suggested a trial daycare before a week long vacation. Goose came home from that happy and we feel good about longer stays here knowing Goose will be comfortable and cared for.”
“Tessa and her family are so wonderful with Ruger. He enjoys his time with them so much. He loves playing with Duke and any other dogs that are staying with them. He comes home a happy and tired boy. So grateful to have such a great place to leave him.”
“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”
“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”

About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
“Denise did a great job! Biscuit was happy when we picked her up. She took Biscuit for walks and recorded them. Biscuit was comfortable enough to take a nap. I also appreciate the good day care price. We will use her again.”
“Jennifer and Josh have sat my dog multiple times now and I couldn't be happier. My dog had some separation anxiety and trust issues, but he now loves being there after only a few sessions. Jennifer and Josh are really great!”
“Nellie came back tired and worn out. She hit it off with one of Joshua’s other daycare dogs who is also a lab. I picked up one tired and happy dog. Also got sent home with a bag of homemade treats. Thank you Joshua! Definitely recommended.”
“Absolutely wonderful first day with Brandy! When I picked Sampson up after leaving him for the day, he wasn’t all wound up and anxious like he normally is if I leave him with a friend. He was relaxed and immediately slept the rest of the night. She tuckered a border collie out!! I will absolutely be taking him back. 100% recommend.”
“Really great care for my very active boy. They incorporated rest times which was important to me since he can't self moderate activity and will play until he hurts himself if allowed.”
“Laura, Lawrence & Lilah took wonderful care of Bella. She had never stayed or been around other dogs. Bella and Lilah were friends right off. They sent me many pictures which made my vacation less stressful. Bella was very comfortable there, it showed in their pictures. I would give them a 5 plus 🌟”
“Rosa was so helpful in caring for my dog while she recovered from an injury. Melon was so happy to see her when we got to her house so I know she was given tons of love and attention. I would recommend Rosa to anyone!”
“Sabrina and her boyfriend are such kind gentle people. Very communicative and flexible. I got the perfect amount of updates and felt my dog was in good hands.”
“So many good things to say! This is the first time I've needed to hire a dog sitter and I am so happy. They sent me lots of pictures and videos, totally understood her needs and took amazing care of my fur baby. They genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and made me feel very comfortable. 100% I would recommend them.”
“Hannah is amazing! She made my clingy and anxious chihuahua feel comfortable and right at home. ? I’m very particular about who I leave him with and she is friendly and answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I received photos and updates during his stay! So glad I found her! Thank you!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alma. 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 Alma 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 OR 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 199 sitters in Alma, 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.
