About: I love dogs and have tons experience with them!. I grew up with dogs and have had a dog in my life at all stages. For the past 15 years, I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue. This volunteer work has given me the opportunity to care of all types of breeds, shapes and sizes. I work out of my home so your pet will get lots of attention day and night. I have a large fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have a 9 year old Golden Retriever mix who loves to have playmates around. I’ll send you regular updates and photos of your pet though the stay. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility to meet your pet’s daily needs. They will get a lot of outside time during their stay and plenty of attention! I care for your pet as if they were my own. I make sure I have a safe environment for your pet and only offer appropriate toys and play environments. All dogs are fed separately at mealtimes to give each time to eat at their own pace.
“Audrey took very good care of our dog. She took him for a walk and provided plenty of photos - gave me so much peace of mind to receive news that he was happy and see how he was doing.”
“Gretchen had a great day with Casey. Casey was patient and accommodating with a Meet and Greet prior to first day of daycare. Great pupdate with pictures. Our little 8 pound senior girl seemed comfy and safe with Casey”
“Jennifer was awesome with our little senior papillon, Duncan! She was able to take on our last minute dog-sitting request and everything worked out fine. Duncan ended up sleeping most of the day as it was! Lol! There were other dogs there, but I felt that Duncan was safe and would be well-cared for in my absence. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Wonderful fun home for our pup! He has a great time! Highly recommend to others looking for a fun environment for their pup while they are out. We will definitely use them again when we are visiting the area”
“Vicki and William were so kind to my dog. She had a great time with their Lab Bentley. They updated frequently. Just from the pics I could tell Blossom was very relaxed and comfortable in their home”
About: I grew up with dogs and have helped potty train them. I love to cuddle and play with dogs. An added bonus is my son who is 14 loves dogs. They will be able to give all the kisses if that's their thing. I work from home so they will always have company and also have the availability to go out when needed. I stay in a quite neighborhood with sidewalks so when we go on walks they will be safe. Pets will have access to the whole home. No worries. There are no toxic plants or other toxic products that they will be able to get into. This will be a nice safe haven, like a second home to them.
“Laura was so great with our 1 year old pup. She took her on adventures out and about, sent pics and videos, and was just so easy to work with. We'll definitely contact Laura again soon!”
About: Enjoy your vacation, time off, or special event knowing your pets will be with a caring and loving pet sitter who specializes in caring for senior dogs and cata. I offer my home as a retreat for your pets to relax, rewind and rejuvunate. Your pets will be pampered with a relaxing quiet environment, treats,belly rubs,cuddles and headpats. My schedule is flexible and open for maximum playtime and high quality attention for your furbabies. I am an active person, so if your dogs need alot of exercise, I can be your go to caregiver for that. I have a 850 square foot non-smoking apartment that is peaceful and quiet. Has access to a large outdoor courtyard and 3-4 nearby parks I can walk your dogs to get ample exercise and playtime.
“I had a wonderful experience leaving my pup with Julie. She is really kind and very reliable. She kept me updated about my puppy with text and photos. My pup has knee issues and she took extra care making sure he doesn’t hurt himself. I would recommend her services 100% for your pet!”
“Kadi was fantastic! So warm and reassuring to talk with, as well as super sweet and patient with our pup. He is a bit weary of men, and unfortunately wasn’t able to relax around Kadi’s husband. She let me know that she wanted to make sure Tito was as comfortable as possible. Kadi went of her way to reach out to her pet sitter, a fellow rover member (without a male in the house ☺️), to see if she would be available and open to taking Tito on for a weekend. She even made sure there was availability for a meet and greet before hand. Kadi went above and beyond and showed us she really cares about the well being of the pets in her care. Thanks a million Kadi!”
“Samantha is awesome! You can tell how passionate she is about dogs and how interested she is in making sure Archie’s stay was great. He loves being there and learning how to be a good dog from Samantha and the rest of her pack. Samantha makes sure to work on socialization, commands and gives the pups great treats too. I especially appreciate all the pictures!”
About: Growing up with pets as family members has always been a necessary adventure. I began fostering puppies to house-train and socialize them before adoption. Yes, I ended up adopting multiple dogs I fostered because I fell in love with them! On top of my one or two dogs, for many years I would have two, three, and sometimes four foster puppies at a time. The dedication to loving all these pets has brought a true passion for animal care. I’m currently raising an English Cream Golden Retriever, Bowie, and I’ve adapted my schedule to accommodate his unique needs and preferences. I’ve prioritized physical activity and ample playtime at home, while also understanding his preferred resting spots. After walks, he loves to rest on the bed, and in the mornings, he enjoys looking out the front window from the couch. I find it rewarding to have my schedule revolve around keeping my pets involved, engaged, social, and happy. I have a fenced-in yard. A backyard with grass to run around, a back deck to lie on for sunbathing. A lovely garden that gets watered with the help of my own dog that loves jumping at the water while I water plants. He’s a very good helper. He has been socialized his whole life at dog parks and on walks with other dogs and humans. He is a playful dog that loves playing only if the other dog wants to as well. Many dogs have asserted themselves to my dog at a dog park or on a walk; he is very well trained not to engage in aggressive behavior but to submit and sit down, ears back to build trust with other dogs. I have outdoor cameras that are utilized for basic safety as well as making sure the gate is closed, dogs are visible, and any hazards (large branches or other animals) can be removed for best safety when dogs are outside. Maintaining a clean yard for my pets is important. Frequently cleaning the yard for dog waste, proper weed and grass maintenance. Making sure no foreign objects, rocks, or anything dangerous could pose an interest for the pets to investigate. Proper outdoor lighting for low light and nighttime outdoor potty times ensures further safety at night.
About: My name is Mackenzie and I’m a holistic PA out of Birmingham, MI. I just transitioned from working M-F in the hospital to only working a few days a month at my own company, so I have lots of free time now. I live in downtown Birmingham and am always going on walks and would love to have a pup with me! I travel a lot so I’m not ready to get my own dog, so figured dog sitting would fill my cup 💛🐶 My schedule is typically very open. I don’t work a 9-5 and love any excuse to get outside. If I am ever gone at the gym or running errands, it’s never for more than 3 hours. I am a VERY clean and tidy person. I love spending my time outside when I can and am happy to do any regular trails or parks with your dog!
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Birmingham is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
Irv is a fantastic sitter! He had no issues with taking care of our two dogs, one of whom is a senior dog with some anxiety issues. She did so well with him that we’re definitely coming back! Our younger pup also had a great time and got lots of playtime and cuddles. Irv gave plenty of walks and sent us photos and videos throughout the day to update us. We had special food instructions and that wasn’t a problem. Thank you so much!
I’m beyond happy with the care my dog received! She treated him as if he were her own—very loving, patient, and attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. My pup came back happy and relaxed, and I could tell he was really well taken care of. I truly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Birmingham on Rover is $38.85 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 .

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 Birmingham 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 MI 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 1,179 sitters in Birmingham, 84% 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.
