“Our boy spent the day with Maggie and her crew in preparation for his week-long visit in a few weeks and it was a great experience. Maggie sent us updates throughout his visit and earned our pup's trust, which is not easily given. Will definitely be using her again!”
“First time I’ve left my dog with another person. They took GREAT care of her! They sent multiple updates with pictures telling me how she was. I will definitely be bringing her back to see them :)”

About: I’ve always taken care of dogs, mine, my families, and friends. They life exciting, there’s simply not much better than the smiles they give me. I train part time. I have plenty of time in between sessions so it is just perfect for my schedule and daily routine. As well as flexibility. I have a fenced in yard at my dads with a Great Dane, and I have to walk my moms maltipoo and morkie. I’ve also always had a cat or 2 and even a few reptiles. Nothing scares me so I can do it all 🤣.
“Brett and Stephanie took wonderful care of our 6 month old pup! We chose daycare as we had a busy day ahead of us and did not want to crate our pup all day. Safe to say she had a great time, and Brett + Stephanie kept us updated with pics throughout the day! We highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! Before pursuing Occupational Therapy, I completed coursework on a pre-veterinary track, giving me additional knowledge of animal care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going for a run, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine. I’ll always treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I recently graduated with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from tiny kittens and puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I grew up helping my mom care for animals that required around-the-clock care, so providing safe, loving, and dependable pet care has always been part of my life. In my home, pets are family, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I offer a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, responsible, and detail-oriented. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can always expect updates, photos, and clear communication during your pet’s stay. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddle time, or special care instructions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and providing them with a safe and loving second home while you’re away! I work from home so I can be with your fur baby all day and night! Pet care is part of my daily routine with regular feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. Animals are considered family in my home, they are my children :) I make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and get plenty of attention. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and always keep their space clean and safe.
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and lover of many different breeds. I currently have a miniature pinscher and a dachshund who are used to company and making new friends. I've also owned beagles, terriers, and a Belgian malinois. I love to play with dogs and take them on walks. I'm responsible, reliable, punctual, and fun! I'm home every afternoon and am free for walks some mornings and I will be available for walks in the early evening during the warmer months. I'm comfortable giving them oral medications or a special diet. In a nutshell, I love dogs and enjoy them more than most people. I'd be happy to take yours on a walk or babysit. I'm also comfortable bathing and brushing them (I haven't mastered haircuts yet, though). I love all size dogs, but as I am a smaller person, it's easier for me to handle breeds under 40 pounds. I work from home part time and am home everyday so boarding and dog sitting fits in easily with my daily routine. I'm usually free on the weekends as well I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door in my home. I'm home everyday and have a pup of my own to keep your dog company.
“I can’t say enough great things about Kayla! She took amazing care of my 6.5-week-old Belgian Malinois puppy, going above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated my girl like her own. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Great people! Very easy transaction. They have an adorable and sweet Doberman girl and she was a great blend to my two pups that stayed over for the day. Will be using them again!”
About: I'm a country girl. I love all animals. I was raised on a farm. Animal caretaking is my specialty. I also attended school for assistant laboratory animal technology I'm currently working from home. I spend my time caring for my own pets. I also pet sit for friends and family members when they are out of town. I have a fenced backyard. I also have a fence inside of that fence. Which will separate bigger dogs from the smaller ones. I have a closed in patio for puppies or pets that just want to be left alone.
About: I’ve taken care of both doggos and cats since I was 13. My family used to rescue dogs and rehome them, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds from Great Danes to Yorkies to all kinds of kitties as well as a range of ages from newborns to seniors. I can bottle feed and administer medicine if needed. I just love being around animals, so I can assure you that your babies will receive the best treatment imaginable with me. All the love you would normally give them will be felt with my care :) I work from home full time and have the flexibility to step away from my computer whenever I need to. This means I am able to provide constant supervision and care to your fur babies. I care for at most one doggo or cat at a time so I can ensure your fur baby is safe and being cared for properly. I have lots of fenced land to play and walk them while they are here. For non-boarding services, you can trust that I will care for your babies as if they were receiving the care directly from you. I am willing to travel to your home to check on your babies, play with them, and take care of their needs.
“Gage was very responsive and accommodating to my dogs stay at his house. He sent pics daily, kept me informed, and they had a great time. He was flexible with drop off and pick up, and always responded in a timely manner. I will definitely use again in the future. Thanks!”
About: I have taken care of newborn orphan puppies and I have potty trained my friends' adult dog. My friends and family say I have a lot of patience. I am a full-time college student. I am home most of the time and I think Rover will give me something fun to do. I absolutely love pets of any kind. I love how they have their own personality I care about their health and happiness. I am very organized and I can stick to a strict schedule. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy. I'm more than happy to send pictures/videos of your pet every hour to let you know how your fur baby is doing.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and many different animals since I was a child! I had many pets ranging from birds, frogs, iguanas, hermit crabs, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I have always been an animal lover! I unfortunately do not get to have a pet of my own due to my husband being in the Air Force. Which means we move around a lot. This has been really hard for me considering the fact that my whole life I’ve been acclimated to caring for and loving pets. Being able to care for your pet while we are stationed here in the Memphis area would fulfill my dreams of being able to take care of animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom and disabled veteran. As long as my kids are at school (7 AM-2 PM) I am 100% available! Outside of those hours I could pet sit for you at my home! I can accommodate depending on your preferences for your fur baby and depending if they are potty trained. I have a 2800 sq ft home. And a huge back yard for your fur baby to play in.
“I left my 11 month old puppy with Haley while visiting my parents, so we could have dinner out. She is an excellent communicator and I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing my pup was in great hands! I definitely recommend her!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alphaba
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 183 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alphaba. 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 Alphaba 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 MS 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 183 sitters in Alphaba, 88% 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.
