About: I will treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with dogs most of my life and recently lost a dog-son to a cancer 2 years ago. I do prefer non-shedding dogs due to allergies which allows me to provide a clean and comfortable environment for both your pet and my family. As a stay-at-home mom to a two-year-old, I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and affection. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and loved as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to give pets lots of time and attention. Walks, playtime, feeding, and rest are all built into our day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will be treated like part of our daily family life. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. Since I’m home throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I prefer caring for non-shedding dogs due to allergies, which helps maintain a healthy space for everyone.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the personalized, dependable care I provide to every pet I meet. I treat your pets like family, taking the time to understand their unique needs, personalities, and routines. I also make time each week to: • Prepare supplies (treats, toys, leashes, litter, etc.) • Review and update care notes for each pet • Maintain strong communication with pet parents through updates and photos I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I maintain a calm, clean, and supervised environment, free of hazards, with designated areas for sleep, play, and meals. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or cuddles—so they experience minimal disruption while away from their family. Pets in my care are never left alone for long, and I offer frequent potty breaks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention throughout the day.
About: Family‑style care with 15 years’ experience. Daily photo updates, safe walks, and cozy stays. I’ve learned every pet is unique—kind when needed, calmly firm when it helps. Trustworthy, community‑rooted, flexible—your pet’s second home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life!

I also have a nice dog park nearby, which is great for walks, exercise, and social time when appropriate. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and keep open communication so we’re always on the same page. I use common sense to know when a pet needs calm time or playtime. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, just like at home.

About: I’m a proud dog mom and lifelong dog lover. I’ve spent over 20 years around dogs, from growing up with small breeds to now raising my own little guy, Simba. I’ve trained him myself, regularly dog-sit for family and friends, and I’m the go-to in my circle for dog advice and tips. I also have young children in the home, so your dog must be comfortable around kids. That said, we always supervise interactions and make sure your pup has space to relax, play, or nap peacefully, whatever makes them feel at home. What makes me different? I treat every dog like I’d want mine to be treated, with care, attention, and a little fun thrown in. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of supervision, play, and outdoor time. Whether they’re high-energy or prefer to lounge in the shade with Simba, I adjust the day to match their vibe. Your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles are built right into my routine. Whether it’s a calm cuddle buddy or an energetic pup, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy space where your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and personalized care throughout the day. Since I work remotely, your pup will never be left alone for long, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and cuddles are all built into our daily rhythm. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine (feeding times, crate use, bedtime preferences, etc.) to help them feel at home. Whether your pup is active and playful or laid-back and cuddly, I adjust the schedule to meet their needs. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.

Gurpreet was a fantastic sitter! She accepted our last minute daycare request and took great care of zeph during that time. She was super communicative, sent tons of pictures and videos and made sure zeph had a long potty walk during his stay. It was clear that zeph had a great time when he was with Gurpreet! Would happily come back when I'm in the area again! Thank you so much for watching zeph for me last week!!
Sherine took great care of my pup! I appreciated her friendly and quick communication and multiple photo/video updates throughout my pup’s stay. I was happy my dog got along with hers and had fun playing during his stay. Would definitely book with Sherine again!
Ashley took really good care of our 9 month pup, Coco. She sends very consistent updates, is an excellent communicator, and her pet, Cannoli, is the most adorable boy. She made sure Coco feels right at home and dealt with his energy with a lot of grace and attention. We're looking forward to boarding with her after doing daycare. Thank you Ashley!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Arcola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Arcola on Rover is $44.4 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 4,870 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Arcola. 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 Arcola 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 VA 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 4,870 sitters in Arcola, 87% 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.
