About: I care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—it’s not just a job for me, it’s something I look forward to every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re with me. I live in an area with easy access to walking trails, and daily walks are a big part of my routine. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment, not just quick potty breaks. I also have experience caring for puppies and can help reinforce basic training during their stay, such as leash walking, routines, and positive behaviors. I’m patient and consistent, and I understand how important structure is—especially for younger dogs. Overall, I treat every dog like my own and focus on giving them attention, activity, and a calm, caring environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. Dogs in my care get regular walks, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m flexible and can adjust to each dog’s needs. Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.

“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
“Jen has a great place for any dog! A big backyard for them to play. I booked Jen for two days. The first day at drop off, my pup was naturally a little hesitant (we didn’t have time to do a meet and greet). When I picked him up, he was happy as could be. When I took him on the second day, he couldn’t wait to get out of the car and play with his new friends.”
About: I have grown up with dogs in my home for my entire life! I have many years experience with dogs of all ages and have never met a dog that I didn’t love! ❤️ I work fully remote and would love to prioritize your pup with whatever is best for their schedule! I am also available on weekends to care for your pup. I have an amazing goldendoodle named Willow who would love a pal to play with while you’re away! We live in a home with a backyard and lots of room to play. If you prefer I come to your home, I will make sure that your pup never feels lonely and gets pampered!
About: Hi! You can call me Rose (: I’m that person who lights up whenever a dog walks into a room. More than likely, I will pet or talk to your dog before I start a conversation with you...I’ve always had dogs in my household growing up. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years which sparked my love for dogs. I have also fostered a few dogs during COVID. No matter the breed, size, age, color, I will spoil and love your dog to my fullest potential. I’m always trying to find new ways to entertain dogs wether it’s by walking, playing with a garden hose, zoomies in the backyard, whatever I can do to make sure your dog is having the time of their life while you’re away. I work from home so I am home all day during the week! I do run errands during the week but am only gone for an hour or so at a time. While I work from home, I will mainly be in my office space but will always be checking in on your doggo. I hope they would be comfortable enough to join me in my office while I work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.
About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Delaware is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $49 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 581 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Delaware. 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 Delaware 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.
As of October 2026, there are 581 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of OH. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 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.

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.
