Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!

This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.

My mini golden doodle, Maple, had a wonderful time at Angela’s for daycare! She updated us throughout the day with pictures. Maple has social anxiety but she warmed up to Angela’s home and loved running around her big backyard with other dogs. I will definitely rebook in the future!

Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.

Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!

About: I have over 20 years of experience watching and carings for dogs. I grew up with dogs, and absolutely love them! I have extensive experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs, and also administering medication. I primarily work from home, so my schedule is very flexible during the day. I am also available on weekends to care for your pup! My husband and I have two friendly pups to keep your dog(s) company whenever he or she visits. And in addition to our large backyard where the pups love to play, we also have plenty of safe roads and trails nearby to walk your dog for exercise and potty breaks.

About: I have been working with, owning, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I’ve trained many dogs over the last 10 years and helped owners overcome a variety of issues they’ve encountered along the journey of ownership. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals, especially dogs! I believe that every dog is an individual, with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and needs. I understand the importance of caring for each dog differently, and giving them what they need to feel loved. As a trainer, my philosophy is love and positive reinforcement only. I do not believe in dominance, aggression, or negative reinforcement in any way. I will work with your dog, even while sitting or walking, to help them grow and unlearn bad habits and learn new ones! Every dog deserves love and attention no matter what, and your dog will always feel special while in my care. My schedule is currently open, so I’ll be spending 100% of my time with your pups! As of right now, my home is open for boarding to any dog that needs to be cared for overnight or during the day. I am also available to stay at your home and babysit overnight, and am happy to watch more than one dog at a time if necessary. If you have a dog and cat at home that need sitting, that is fine as well. I am okay with having multiple dogs in my home as long as they are well-socialized and can handle being around other dogs. All bookings will be discussed in advance with the owners to determine each individual dog’s needs prior to arrival. Each pups temperament will be assessed and careful attention will be paid to the safety and well-being of every dog that stays in my home. I am open to drop-ins and walks at an owner’s home as my schedule permits, however, I do not currently own a car so the visits would have to be local. As noted in my bio, I have been a dog trainer and owner for over 15 years, and have experience with all types of dog breeds and temperaments. I understand how to communicate and handle dogs with poor temperaments and nasty habits. I do not believe in any type of negative reinforcement (i.e. yelling, hitting, shaming, isolating, dominating, crating as punishment, using choke or shock collars, and scaring a dog in any way to achieve training goals). If your pup is dog-aggressive (meaning he or she cannot be around other dogs at all), please let me know right away so I can make sure not to book any other dogs at the same time. If your dog is a puppy, let me know in advance as well, so I can make sure to book him or her alone or with dogs that are tolerant to puppy-behavior. I just moved into my apartment in Hartford on West Boulevard, which is completely gated with all entrances requiring a specific code to enter the premises. There is a dog-walking area with waste bags and some grass for the dogs to use when going outside. The complex is surrounded by suburban neighborhoods with ample sidewalks and places to take a dog on long walks if necessary. I am new to the area so I’m hoping to eventually find a good location to play fetch with the dogs or allow them to run around off leash. Potty breaks can be taken whenever necessary as the exit to my apartment is right down the hall and out the door. My apartment is a newly renovated, 1-bedroom apartment and is kept extremely clean at all times. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if he or she makes a mess or has an accident, but please let me know if this will be a problem in advance and we will discuss how to handle it. If the accidents are often, I may request a small fee for regular or repeated cleanups, as they can cost money if real damage is done. Destructive chewers should come with something reliable to chew on and keep them busy. If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know before booking so I can make the necessary accommodations. If your dog has any specific quirks or habits that are need to know, please be sure to inform me prior to booking so I can take care of your baby’s needs. Please bring anything that your dog would usually need on a daily basis, including toys, leashes, harnesses, waste bags, blankets, treats, and even a bed or crate if necessary. Your dog will be taken care of as if it were my own, I understand that your dog is like your child and is therefore a member of your family. As a dog-mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with a stranger. I promise to make your pup feel at home and welcome at all times, and will do everything I can to make your baby comfortable and feel loved throughout their visit. You will see photos of me and my dog Cloud in my profile who is now 6 but is with his dad in Hamden at this time. I rescued him from Georgia after his pregnant mother was abandoned on the side of the road, and raised him since he was 6 months old.

Macho was so well taken care of at Michelle's. She and her family are wonderful. Their dog Charlie is an absolute sweetheart! They went out of their way to make my little guy comfortable during his stay. They also has a nice big fenced in back yard which was a big hit. I would definitely book with her again.

I dropped off my giant white rescue pup with Nazim and we could not have been happier. He sent videos of my pup having an outrageously fun romp in his fenced in yard. My whole family cheered when they saw what a good time was being had by all. Nazim is professional and clearly loves dogs. I, and my dog highly recommend him!

About: Hi paw friends 🐾 I am somewhat new to Rover but I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always helped my family and friends care for their animals and I always enjoyed doing it. My husband and I got married four years ago and our little girl is three. It's so amazing to see her interact with the dogs because she gets more comfortable and happier each time. My husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. Our family loves dogs and we will eventually get a dog when the time is right, but I love Rover because it’s give me the opportunity to still bond with pups. I truly love being around animals. Our families sometimes come to stay with us with their dogs and I get a crazy burst of happiness every time. Life is just better with a dog around and I would love to care and help with your pups! :) I know it can be tough trusting your animals in others hands but rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with me & I will send plenty of updates and pictures 📸🐾 I currently work part time (every weekend). So I am free to take care of your pups during the week and still on weekends when I’m home. My amazing husband and daughter are my best pet helpers when I am not around. I still offer some services on the weekends. I will care for the pet how the owner(s) want me to care for them. They will always bed fed, hydrated, clean, warm, and the happiest they can be in our home. Our home isn't that big so someone is always around. I am not much of an out-going person, I do have a good amount of friends but they all come to my house since I am the mama of the group :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Canton Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 628 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Canton Center. 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 Canton Center 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 CT 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 628 sitters in Canton Center, 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.
