“I was nervous leaving Minnie for the first time with what is essentially a stranger but we are strangers no more! Minnie had a blast and loves her new friends. Thank you!”

“We cannot say enough good things about Suzanne! Our dog Barkley had a wonderful afternoon at her house: he spent the day basking in her sunny yard and napping inside (basically Barkley’s idea of a perfect day!) Suzanne was wonderful to communicate with: prompt, friendly and quick to answer any questions I had. Additionally, she was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which we really appreciated, and she communicated during Barkley’s visit. We will absolutely book Suzanne again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”

“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”

About: I've been taking care of pets, plants and homes for the last ten years. I believe in having a pet owner coming back to their pet/home in better shape than they left them. I've encountered many different personalities of pets over the years and understand each has different needs and desires. I ensure that the pet is comfortable with the environment and myself by building a relationship of trust. I'm a high school technology teacher enjoying summer break. I've decided to join Rover so I can still work during my down time this summer. I have cared for animals short & long term and have many necessary items like leashes, bowls, foods, bags and more. I have air conditioning for the hot days of summer. Walking your dog helps me live a healthy lifestyle that I enjoy.
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”


“Jenn watched my puppy for the first time today and did a fantastic job! He has a somewhat complicated medical condition - she read about it before we met and handled it wonderfully. He was so happy (and tired) afterwards, and he loved playing with the other dogs in the house. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every home and pet with respect. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Maxi hadn’t been to Emily’s in a while and he was so excited when we dropped him off. Evidence right there of how great she is. She’s very responsive and keeps in touch with pictures and/or videos while Maxi is there. We don’t think you could find a more caring sitter.”

About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: I have experience working in veterinary medicine, and owning many types of my own animals. I can provide care for just about any type of pet! Growing up, we always owned at least 3 cats, a dog, and a reptile. Ever since I was a child I was the primary caregiver to all of our animals. After high school I went to college for veterinary medicine, and worked as a vet tech for a few years. I eventually left to peruse a better paying job, but I am still extremely familiar with all that I learned in the veterinary medicine field. I have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, neighbors, and acquaintances in my life- which is what inspired me to check out rover to meet some new clients! I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, and an aquarium. I am new to the area so my pet sitting schedule has freed up quite a bit. I own my own salon business so my schedule is very flexible and completely in my own control. I usually work longer days on the weekend, but could be available in the evenings. Mon/Tues/Weds/Fri are usually very open and Thursdays are flexible availability as well. I am offering drop in visits and dog walking services. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I am very particular about the way my pets and pets in my care are cared for. I can help with feedings, medicine, play time, cleaning of any messes, and can control a dog well on their leash.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Clay Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 143 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Clay 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 Clay 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 OH 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 143 sitters in Clay Center, 91% 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.
