“Tina was fantastic with my 6 month old puppy, Luna. My dog is very shy and timid when meeting new people and in new environments. Tina was very understanding and knowledgeable on Luna’s temperament. Tina knew exactly what to do to make Luna feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely use Tina again. Thank you Tina!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who has owned and cared for animals for many years. I’ve also had the joy of being a “pet grandpa,” helping care for family pets and spending lots of quality time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, and I truly enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m excited to spend time with animals and provide reliable, loving care you can feel good about. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for part-time work to stay active, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep a calm and secure environment, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for at all times.
“Tanaisa was amazing! I had a last minute need for some doggy daycare and she took my dogs for the whole day without hesitation. They looked like they had a great day. I’d gladly book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Bree! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, and while I don’t have a pup of my own right now, I absolutely love spending time with animals whenever I can. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m here to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I’d love to help make their day (and yours) a little easier—let’s connect! I have an open and flexible schedule as a full-time college student, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Whether you need a sitter for the day, overnight stays, or regular walks, I can accommodate your needs and ensure your pets get the love and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where they can feel at ease while you’re away. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the importance of trust and communication. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands!
“We are so lucky to have found Pamela! Great communication from beginning to end. She took amazing care of my Benny and was kind and patient with this new experience! 10/10 Great job! We will schedule with Pamela again soon!”
“As far as we can tell, Lyla had a wonderful time at Amanda's. She has since gone back twice more. I would recommend Amanda to others looking for a loving day care situation for their fur babies :) Debbie Amable Chunn”
“I can’t thank Cynthia enough for the exceptional care she took of our pups on very short notice. Great communication and updates, and they had a blast. I highly recommend working with her!”
“If there were more than 5 stars we would give them! Our 4 month old puppy had so much fun that I literally had to pick him up and place him in the car. He did not want to leave. Rosalyn communicates throughout the day and sends awesome pictures (thank you for the action ones!) We will 100% be booking with her again! Thank you Rosalyn!”
“Shell is so amazing. She clearly cares about animals and goes out of her way to be accommodating and has a vast knowledge of dogs and their behaviors. She always sends us great videos and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with her Buddha. He comes home exercised, calm, and happy. I would recommend Shell to watch your fur babies and I really trust her and appreciate all her knowledge. She is very kind and treats our dog like her own. Our Chip cried when we drove away from her house and slept like a baby when he got home. She’s awesome.”
“Jamie and her mom responded to my very last minute request and we’re able to accommodate Luca very early in the morning. Super thankful her mom was able to watch Luca while I had to attend a funeral. He came back happy and I got updates all day which made me happy. Very happy with my experience and will definitely book again ?”
About: Rescue Ranch is 15 acres of forest and fenced pasture to play in. I am happy to host your pets while you are away. Animal love and care is what this farm is all about. I can provide individualized treatment for your pet including: administering meds, special diets, bathing, nail trim, training time, play time, social time with other dogs and LOTSA love !! I am retired and spending all my time on the farm and in the woods. Your pet is welcome to join me out here in God's country. I have several fenced acres to play in, forest trails to walk, cable runs, and a warm loving home. I have a German Pointer in the home and 3 Great Pyrenees outside protecting the farm. I will do a detailed interview to determine how I can best meet your pet's needs. I have cared for a large variety of farm animals including assisting difficult births, administering both oral and injected meds, surgery recovery, wound care, suture removal, bottle feeding, wound care, seizure management, etc.
“GREAT experience. My Great Dane puppy Maverick had a blast here. All her dogs were welcoming and friendly towards him! It’s always a huge plus when sitters have knowledge and are educated on dogs and behavior. All around Emily is fantastic and a great option.”
“We are so incredibly happy to have found Signe! She took the time to meet us and patiently listened to all of our pup, Nikola's care instructions before the stay. She has been so loving and compassionate towards our (very anxious) doggo. She has made sure that Nikola gets the love and attention that he needs, and we could tell by Nikola's big smile when we picked him up from Signe. We will certainly be rebooking her!”
“I'm very new to the area and I needed someone to watch my 2 corgis with short notice. Jennifer responded fast and she was very flexible with my chaotic schedule. Excellent communication before, during, and after our reservation and my dogs were content and happy. I would recommend Jennifer and use in the future! Thank you!”
“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Canaan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,136 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Canaan. 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 Canaan 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 1,136 sitters in Canaan, 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.
