I do day care and tend to be pretty flexible with hours because not everyone has the same work schedule. Typically it's between 7:00am and 7:00pm and 90% of clients are within that time frame. I do make exceptions for earlier drop offs or later pick ups. If it's consistently more than 10 hours I charge extra but I don't for one-offs that are more than that. But it's entirely up to you how you want to structure your hours. I actually get very little day care requests; if that were my main service I would potentially change but right now it's what works for me. Good Luck!

Since people typically want doggy daycare to cover while they are at work, you have to have operating hours that will accommodate dropoffs before work and pickups after, allowing for commutes. You set your own window but Rover gives some suggestions here:

7-9am for dropoffs and 4-6pm for pickups.

Put your daycare hours in your profile and you may want to consider a late fee for anything outside of it.
