Doggy Day Care Alpha

“Brandy & Brandon were amazing at updating me throughout the day with photos and videos while I was running errands! My dogs had a blast and came home pooped! My older dog can be picky with people but he seemed so comfortable. I would highly recommend them.”

“After a last-minute work schedule change, I desperately needed someone to watch our puppy for the day. Thankfully, Arlissa was super fast in her response (even though it was 7 AM) and was able to watch Lyra. Clearly Lyra enjoyed it because she slept the entire ride home! Arlissa also took some beautiful pics which is a miracle considering how Lyra rarely stays still!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a teenager and I cannot imagine life without at least one. I have seen an uptick in requests from family and neighbors to take care of their furry friends when they are away and am always happy to do so. I am dedicated to making sure that their pets feel as comfortable in my home as they would in their own. I currently work from home the majority of the time and my wife works from home full time. Between the two of us we have enough flexibility to let dogs out in the yard to play or take them on short walks. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own, Smokey. If house-trained, I like to let dogs have the run of the house. I will crate dogs if I have to leave the house, at least until I get a sense of how they do on their own.

About: My husband & I and our 7 children live in a home in north Centerville. We have a large backyard that is fully enclosed with a 6’ wood privacy fence. We have a great neighborhood for walks and socialization and we also have several, more secluded walking trails nearby for a tranquil relaxed stroll. Our children range from ages 3-14 and have all been around dogs since birth and are excellent caretakers as well. We have 2 family pets, a 6 year old female Lhasa Apso and a 4 year old male Shih tzu. Neither uses a crate and we don’t require any crating. Our goal is to make sure your dog enjoys their stay away from home and is as comfortable as possible. We can maintain any schedules you have established and will make sure your dog gets extra love during your time apart. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older and prefers to snooze on a comfy blanket - our home can accommodate both types of dog. I am a stay-at-home mom so I am almost always home and I have the flexibility to accommodate various schedules and routines. With a large household it’s extremely rare that everyone is gone at the same time. Also, my mom lives next door and is retired so she’s able to stop by as well. Once your pets stay begins, we attach a custom ID tag to their collar that includes our contact information as an added safety measure. We have a fenced yard and 2 guaranteed companions for your pet to enjoy during their stay with us. Plus there’s always someone around to give them some extra love while you’re apart. We can easily crate your pet if preferred, as well. We’re happy to accommodate specific requests to ensure that your pets have the best care and experience possible.

About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.

“Andrea stepped in at the last minute when long laid plans blew apart. She sent pictures thru the day showing how at home my pet felt staying there. I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone that wants a friendly safe environment for watching your pet.”

“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”

“Tammy was great! We did meet and greet and the dogs were happy to be coming back for their first real stay. They had a good play time, naps and even ate. Rare for them in a first day. Tammy sent video and checked in too. Very pleased with her service and would recommend her.”

About: With 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I’ve learned that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special! As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies who love to play to sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic puppy training reinforcement, and providing the patience and attention older pets deserve. What sets me apart is that I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. I take the time to get to know each animal, respect their individual routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, a cuddle companion, or simply a familiar, reassuring presence, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few more furry friends into my routine comes naturally! As a devoted pet parent myself, my days are filled with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every animal gets the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your furry family members company while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their individual needs and routines. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so my goal is to keep their days as comfortable, familiar, and stress-free as possible. Your pets won’t just be another appointment on my calendar. They’ll be a priority! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s something I never take lightly. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and do my best to maintain the routines your pets already know and love. From feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and snuggles, I follow your instructions closely to help your pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable. During walks and outdoor activities, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. I understand that every animal has different personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I never force interactions or situations that could make them uncomfortable. Communication is also very important to me! I’m happy to provide regular updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your babies are happy and in loving hands. My goal is simple: to provide the same patience, respect, and unconditional love that I would want someone to give my own pets!

“Karin Was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Yoshi and made sure he felt safe loved and comfortable and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind I could tell Yoshi was in great hands and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karin again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! 🐾🐶”

“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again!

“Our first time with Kyle & Hannah. The location was close to your house and Koda was super excited to play with other dogs for a doggie day camp. I saw photos and videos. Feedback was great! We will definitely use them again.”

“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”

Terri D.

About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 I took care of him like he was a human being. I love taking care of dogs 🐩 I am currently a full time college student and I am looking for a part time job to help fulfill my schedule and why not spend it doing something i really would enjoy doing I have a nice fielded area where the dog can go for walks and play and use the bathroom in my home I would offer that the dogs are potty trained and comes with the dog food and treats to help me take care of your fury cute companion

“Emily was easy to communicate with and also sent me videos and pictures. It was a rainy day and my doggie didn’t want to play outside but she made sure he had lots of inside excercise and fun. I plan on booking her again!”

About: I have been trusted by family & friends to watch their beloved pets for years! Now that I own my home, my fiancé and I have 4 pets together (2 dogs & 2 cats) that we have learned so much from! We are also certified fosters through 2 different groups. I have experience with caring for & training puppies & kittens, post op care, and basic medical needs (ie eye drops/oral medication). Taking care of your pets & mine is my number one priority! Working a flexible, part-time, wfh job gives me the ability to make animal care my priority! Pets will be tended to at their normal schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible. All pets will be left alone as minimally as possible (0-3 hours per day), and will be crated/contained when alone. Pets in my care will be treated just as my own, and be given the most attention and love possible. Pets will be crated or contained when alone & at nighttime (8 hours or less if needed). Pets will be given lots of outside time (on leash) and enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, snuffle mat, training for fun, etc, will be provided.

About: I give my full attention to each pet I care for. Taking time to reinforce training, reward good behaviors, and always remaining playful, peaceful, and happy. I treat every pet like my own child. Pets are a member of our families and should be treated just the same. Once I meet a pet I do everything I can to get to know their whole personality. What makes them wag their tail, what they don’t particularly care for, and what needs they need met. I want to ensure that the next time I meet a pet, they recognize me and know I was a fun and safe human to be around. I also want to ensure the human owners feel comfortable and at ease around me. Knowing your pet is in good care is just as important as caring for them yourself. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give dogs the exercise and attention they require. I am available for dog boarding and doggy daycare everyday of the week. I walk animals three to four times a day. I, also, live right up from a dog park where I take dogs to roam and play.

“Lisa was kind enough to help me when I needed a last minute sitter for my puppy. I got updates throughout my work day and pictures showing my Cider being loved and cared for. I was nervous using this service for a non housebroken pup but Lisa took care to give her breaks outside and show her to pee pads. I can’t thank her enough!!!”
