“Julie loves all animals and truly will make it the best experience for all of her visitors! We have used her several times and feel confident that our dogs are getting the best experience. She loves to share videos and treats every dog like her own. We highly recommend her and love that rover led us to such an amazing person!”
“Kissie did an excellent job of looking after our dog Daisy who has separation anxiety. She sent us lots of photos during the day keeping us updated on how she was doing. She answered my texts right away and really went out of her way to make Daisy feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and highly recommend having her take care of your precious pet.”
“Tara is great and very sweet. My dog loved her and she kept me up to date on his day. I have used her previously and will continue in the future. I recommend highly recommend her.”
“Cornelius was fantastic! My dogs can be a challenge and he made it look easy. He is definitely someone you can trust with your pets. they loved going to see him and I could tell they were well cared for when I came to get them. He's a really great choice for your pet needs. thanks Cornelius. You're great!!”
“Derek is very communicative and attentive. He has a great introduction and integration system for his new dogs. It allows them to take their time acclimating to the new environment and only meet the other dogs once they’re calm and ready. Derek responds promptly and sends pictures throughout the stay. We felt confident leaving Cadbury with him and will do so again. He returned home calm, happy, and satisfied.”
“Amber is so very sweet to my dog (Honey), I thought I would have to call off work because I couldn't find anyone to watch my sweet girl. Amber truly is a lifesaver thank you so much 😊”
“What a great sitter. Ive been looking for someone I feel comfortable leaving Jinx with for some time, and I found her! jinx had so much fun, and I didn't get a hint of nervousness or anxiety when I picked her up. If you are looking for a caring and gentle pet sitter Kee is your person. I will absolutely use her again and again. thank you Kee”
“Shanina was amazing with our kids! She kept us updated and also gave medicine to one of our babies. They were really happy when we brought them home and were also tired so I am sure they played a lot! Everything went great and we would be choosing Nina for our kids anytime! ❤️”
“Dennis and his wife Sue are so great! I left my French bulldog with them for daycare, and she usually has some separation anxiety but she did great :) You can tell that they both love dogs and are just sweet people in general.”
About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals, cats and dogs. I have two dogs of my own currently, with the oldest being 11 and I've had him since he was 6weeks old. I dog and cat sit frequently for friends, in their home or they come to me if they want to. I always treat each animal as their own individual with their own personality and take time to pay attention and learn what they need, like, don't like, etc. Your animals will always be safe with me. I work from home so am able to be flexible. Your animals can always come stay with me if you need them to or I can stay with them if they are more comfortable in their own space. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and two dog-friendly dogs for play dates. In client/friends home, I will follow whatever rules or needs you have for your pets. I'm comfortable giving all kinds of care, medicine, etc.
About: I am a 30 year old mom of 2 kids and 1 furbaby. I have had dogs, cats, sugar gliders, turtles, rabbits and even horses growing up. I have volunteered at animal shelters my whole 4 years in high school and had a total of 4 dogs in my home at once for 8 years. I am animal cpr certified. I have alot of experience but most of all alot of love. And love is what keeps your animals safe and happy! I work from home and have open availability due to owning my business. Open space for feeding and playing. Lots of potty breaks! Lots of toys! I do not cage pets unless asked by parents. I do have an open cage that never shuts. Big couch and multiple beds to sleep on!
“Mark is really friendly and you can tell he really loves animals. My 10lb Shih Tzu Callie got along with his dog Lucky and I was not worried about my little baby being alone with his German Shepherd mix. I'm also really thankful about how flexible he was with my crazy, changing schedule about drop-off and pick-up times. I'm glad to have dropped Callie off with Mark. Thanks again! I appreciate you watching my little baby over the weekend!”
“I do thank her for clarifying information and also thank you for being a good sitter for my dog while his regular sitter is off rover for 2 months. She is very sweet and has a nice home that uno loves . My drop off time was 8am- 9am , she started my day care I have not even arrived yet I always try to come at the last time listed which would be 9am . Also if you could include information on profile of what was told to me of … but for me anything after 10 PM is extended care since that’s my wind-down time, so there is an added charge, So that others know . I will likely book her when I don’t have events to attend I am use to end time of 11:30 with rover . I will definitely use her again when my other sitters are not available.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover full of experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and quirks. From raising two family dogs as a kid to raising my own fur crew—Tobi (a laid-back Maltese-Shih Tzu), Maki (a playful Bernedoodle pup), and my late German Shepherd, Tokki—I’ve seen it all. I’ve volunteered at the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, walking rescued pups and giving them all the love. I also have experience providing extra TLC to dogs with special needs—my late dog Tokki required medication and round-the-clock care, which I handled like the proud dog mom I am. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m here to match their vibe—whether they’re a cuddle bug, a ball-chaser, or just in it for the snacks. My goal is to make your pup feel loved, safe, and right at home (or on an adventure!). As a fellow dog parent, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur baby. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, and all the adorable moments in between. I can’t wait to spoil your pup while you’re away! DAY CARE & BOARDING: While I can only host small to medium dogs at my apartment, I’m happy to care for larger dogs in their own home. If your dog is more comfortable alone, I can arrange for Tobi to stay at his dad’s place to provide an stress-free environment. Maki usually stays with her dad, but if your dog enjoys young and playful company, she’d love to be a companion during their stay! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work part-time remotely, giving me a very flexible schedule. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for pets. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs throughout the day. My flexible work setup ensures that your pet will never feel alone or neglected while in my care. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I ensure they stick to their normal routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. Since I live in an apartment, I only host small to medium dogs, and my own dog, Tobi, is friendly and independent, making it a welcoming space for your pup. We’re also close to the beach and dog parks for fun outdoor adventures. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine and environment to help them feel at ease. I provide regular updates, follow any specific instructions, and ensure they receive plenty of love, care, and attention while keeping their space clean and organized.
“We were passing through town and wanted to check out the Civil Rights Museum but needed somewhere for our dog to hang out. Kiara was great with our pup and he was happy and well cared for when we picked him up!”
“Kelly was very communicative during the scheduling the meet and greet. Her other dogs were quite excited to meet my pup, and while they startled me, my pup didn’t seem to be too scared. Kelly made sure to keep the dogs separate with strong gates and an organized system for rotating backyard bathroom breaks. I highly recommend Kelly for boarding and sitting.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Clarkedale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Clarkedale. 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 Clarkedale 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 AR 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 147 sitters in Clarkedale, 90% 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.
