“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”
About: My whole life has been around dogs! I believe they are the most well intentioned creatures on the planet. From puppies to seniors every dog i meet will be a joy to work with I work for myself out of my home so I have flexible availability. Limited availability Saturday mornings. Otherwise, though, I am free to hang out with your pup! I have a fenced potty area and plenty of space in my neighborhood for as many walks as is necessary! I have a senior small dog who loves to sleep and chill, but still has plenty of play left in him as well. Our home is also ruled by 2 female cats, they gave me permission to post this
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“Jill was outstanding with my 6-month puppy! As a new dog owner, I was anxious leaving my baby with someone I didn't know, but Jill was recommended by a friend and exceeded my expectations, sending me photos of my baby girl playing with other dogs and sunbathing in the outdoor yard. I will definitely bring my pup back when I am in town and need doggy daycare.”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
About: With 21 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I began working with animals at 16 in a professional dog grooming salon, where I learned safe handling techniques, pet behavior, and how to help animals feel calm and comfortable. I've worked in multiple kennel environments and have experience with pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to shy cats and senior pets. I treat every pet like family, keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines. You can count on me to provide attentive, trustworthy care and peace of mind while you're away. I'm home most of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone for more than 2–3 hours. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable care in both my home and yours, always focusing on your pet's comfort, safety, and routine. Whether boarding or providing drop in visits, I maintain regular feedings, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor each pet's well being, follow all care instructions, and provide updates for your peace of mind. My home is clean, pet friendly, and stocked with most essentials. Just bring your pup, their food, leash, and collar, and I'll take care of the rest!

“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Margit and Bill are wonderful with our puppies, they are communicative and made us feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies with them. On day 2 the puppies ran right into the house, so they must have had a great time.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cross Keys
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cross Keys. 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 Cross Keys 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 DE 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 155 sitters in Cross Keys, 94% 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.
