“Veronika is the absolute best! She has watched our dog, Howie, for over one year. She is always super accommodating, allowing us to pick him up at different times according to our needs. She is always available and very responsive. She treats our dog like he is her own. She feeds him and gives him his medications. She takes excellent care of him. I would not trust my dog to anybody else. She has even watched him overnight for an entire week. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. She always sends pictures and updates and keeps us informed of everything. I would highly highly recommend Veronika. She is absolutely amazing.”
“Our pup came back exhausted from playing and well taken care of. Brittany responds quickly and sent us picture/updates while we are away for a quick day trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had my own pets all my life but have recently been fostering and boarding dogs. I have had several pups in my care over the last couple of years and it's always a joy to have them! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them attention! I have two very friendly small dogs that love having playmates. I have a fenced in backyard with reinforced locks for security where your pup can play. We do hourly potty breaks and daily walks (weather permitting).
“Brendan took such good care of my dog Minnie, and was able to help me out with doggy day care pretty last minute! Minnie loved spending time with his dog and she was exhausted by the end of the day when I picked her up from all the playing. Thank you Brendan!”
“Jennifer treated our dog as if it was her own. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a lives in a nice house, is a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced in backyard, perfect for any dog’s stay. We plan to use her again.”
“We were so grateful that she was able to help us with a last-minute booking. She was kind, welcoming, and took wonderful care of Joy. It gave us peace of mind knowing Joy was in such good hands. We would love to have Joy stay with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jinna was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our baby with someone else. Reese seemed to have a blast with her dog Didi and her cat. He was very excited to see her again. We absolutely appreciated the frequent and rapid communication, update pictures, and detailed report cards. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of friends and family’s pet for 5+ years now. My sister used to do rover and I used to help her out, she moved to a different state so I decided to open my own rover. I work from home so i can take pets out for walk and provide pee and potty breaks anytime. I work from home so I am usually home whole day and I’m home in the evening time as well to take care of pet. I can provide all the care the client would require for their pet either at my house or their house during any time but I prefer at my home.
About: I've been caring for my own family pets for over 10 years and have also provided pet care for friends and family while they travel. I'm comfortable with daily feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering simple routines, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet their routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each family's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision and positive attention. While my family loves animals and my children enjoy helping with supervised play and affection, I am the adult responsible for all pet care and supervision. I believe in treating every pet like one of our own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax while they're away.
About: I am a mom and local school teacher! My family would love to take care of your baby. We have watched many dogs throughout the years and would love to meet you! **Out for summer break so home the majority of the time!**. I can run home to let out to potty if needed. My kids and I are home about 2:30 each day and have the rest of the day to play. We love to go on walks and spoil your baby. We are happy to keep in their crate or allow them to sleep in our beds.
About: Hi! My name is Ania. I am huge animal lover and have been since I was a kid. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages including puppies as well as seniors dogs. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur baby! I have a 3 kids at school. I am staying mom. I am flexible. I am available most days for dogs walks, drop visits and daycare. I am available over the weekend for house sitting service. I have extensive experience dog walking and pet sitting and will keep close eye on your pet and stick with their daily schedule. Each walk or visit will include detailed summaries and photos of our time together to give you peace of mind ❤️
“So grateful to have found Carmen to take care of our Daisy. She went on 3 walks, got to play with Buddy, and got lots of love. Really appreciated all of the communication. Thank you so much!”
About: If you're looking for more than a traditional boarding or pet-sitting experience, I'd love to care for your dog! I offer personalized overnight house sitting and one-on-one boarding, with a focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while their families are away. When your dog stays in my home, I care for only one client family at a time. There are no kennels, crowded boarding environments, or large groups of unfamiliar dogs. Your dog becomes part of our family while they're here, with plenty of attention, time to relax in our large fenced backyard, regular walks, and lots of companionship throughout the day. If your dog is happiest in their own home, I also offer overnight house sitting with regular daytime check-ins and companionship, so they're able to stay in their familiar surroundings and aren't left alone for long stretches. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I especially enjoy senior dog care and have experience administering medications and providing extra patience and individualized attention when a dog needs it. As a stay-at-home mom of three, I have a flexible schedule and am able to spend a significant amount of time with the dogs in my care. My family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home, and we love making them feel like part of the family while they're here. My goal is simple: when you can't be home, I want your dog to feel like they're in a second home, not a boarding facility.
“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have 2 kitties and a pup at home with an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Clare
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 627 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Clare. 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 Clare 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 IN 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 627 sitters in Clare, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
