excellent communication, very friendly and professional. i was stressed about finding the right person to watch my new pup... Im really glad i found Ali. she is a little far away, but it's well worth the extra drive for me. She is very knowledgeable and good with dogs. She really pays attention, and respects any rules or special instructions you have. very responsive. sent updates, pics, videos, during the day. I would definitely recommend her for a home who needs a really good and responsible dog sitter. I feel like she treats my puppy as though she is a part of her own family. Thank you so much Ali, for providing a fun and safe environment for my little puppy.

My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!

About: I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs and understand that some pets need extra time to feel comfortable and build trust. I’m attentive to feeding routines, walks, playtime, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I treat every pet with care and try to make them feel at home while their owners are away. I work from home every day, so I have plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m able to be flexible with feeding, walking, and other routines based on your dog’s needs. I have a yard where dogs can spend time outside, play, and get some fresh air. I also regularly take dogs to nearby parks for walks and exercise. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

I booked boarding with Jill (Hui-Min) for an extended work trip and is so happy I trusted my 3 year old golden doodle, Mika, in her care. From meeting Jill for the first time, she patiently addressed all my questions and even made specific an accommodations for Mika due to her not getting along with a separate dog she was watching at the time. Jill was very transparent with her alternative arrangements which put me at ease to leave her with Jill for an extended period of several weeks. I recommend booking Jill. Mika can’t wait to see Jill again at her house!

A huge THANK YOU to Michael, his mom, and Mayzie for taking such good care of our puppy for the day. Michael’s communication was great from the time of booking, through the entire day (he sent lots of photos and texts), until the end of the booking. He even took our pup on a couple of short walks, which was super nice of him. We could tell from the photos Michael sent us that our puppy was having so much fun and plenty of play time. We would definitely recommend Michael and hope to use him again.

Mariah has been a wonderful caretaker for a challenging pup with a major case of separation anxiety. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care in making sure my dog is comfortable when he is with her. He actually gets excited when we arrive at Mariah's house, which always puts me at ease knowing that he will be well taken care of and loved during the day.

About: My passion for both dogs and athletics makes me a great candidate to walk your dog and/or make sure your dog stays active during boarding! I've been around dogs since I was a kid and I love how smart, loyal, and therapeutic they are. I also ran high school varsity cross-country in the Nevada desert, so I have stamina and I love running, mountain running, incline walking, power-walking, and just walking in general. Walking my mini goldendoodle, Vail, is one of my favorite things to do in life and we both look forward to our walks every day. My dog Vail is spoiled rotten and it would be my pleasure to spoil your dog, too! Vail is part of the family and is my top priority! My dog eats, drinks, and is taken care of before I am. Your dog will be family and come before I do as well!

Our Golden pup came home with lots of smiles after staying with Sophie and romping around her amazing space! My experience with Sophie was delightful. She’s very attentive and replied to all the questions I had before my pup’s stay. I appreciate all the photos Sophie took and the updates she gave while our pup was under her care, they really made me feel at ease especially because it was my pup’s first experience in daycare. I’d definitely rebook with Sophie in the future and you should too!

Christiano is great with our dog. He is such a nice guy and you can tell he really cares about animals. We feel comfortable leaving our boy with him and know he's in good hands. It's really nice to have someone we can rely on when we need a dog sitter. He even was able to take our dog last minute/day of when we needed someone. Our dog also has some specific needs and Christiano is always accommodating. Definitely recommend him and his team!

I highly recommend Asatur for your pet stay whether it is just day care or for boarding. His love for dogs is obvious in how the dogs respond to him. My Labradoodle, Bailey is a Velcro dog and finding care outside of our home has been a challenge. Bailey has warmed up to Asatur after one day stay and has just completed her first overnight stay. I’m now feeling very secure that she will do quite well when we are gone for extended lengths of time. This has opened the possibility of long stalled travel plans again since my retirement. Thanks Asatur!

Toro is a sweetheart and I'm glad my pup has a cheerful bud to hang with during the day. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and they take them out a couple of times, so plenty of attention and entertainment. Thank you both!

About: I was lucky enough to have some amazing dogs in my life. As a teen a yellow lab named Bandit helped me through some of the toughest times of my life just by being my dog. Later in life a giant schnauzer named Effie came into my life. She was a big girl weighing in at 115 lbs. She was not the most energetic but navigating through day to day tasks with such a big dog is not for the unprepared. Those dogs gave me their greatest years and the combined experience they both granted me with their time here has prepared me to deal with any type of dog; regardless of shape or size and even personality type. I currently find myself with a ton of free time and I don't have any pets at this point in my life but have always missed the company of a cat or dog since I have grown up around animals for most of my life. I plan to care for a pet the same way I would perform any job or duty with the upmost of attention and care. Your pet would be cared for as if they were a human child. During walks I would watch our surroundings carefully to keep us both out of danger, of course water will be provided as well. I am fully prepared to tend to pets here at my home. I have hard wood floors so clean up would be no problem for me and there is a patch of grass in the back part of my apartment building.

My former Rover professional recently retired and I had to find a replacement. I was so, so glad I found this pair to watch my treasured Kyle. I have been interacting with Lucas. He is always prompt in meeting me when I drop off Kyle and when I pick him up. During our Meet and Greet Lucas showed me his home and doggie-perfect back yard. I was impressed. He also spent some time with me introducing me to the six other dogs that were there. The meeting was informative and a good chance for the two of us to see how Kyle fit in. Lucas is a true professional. He couldn't be better.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - East Richmond Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in East Richmond Heights on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,520 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across East Richmond Heights. 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 East Richmond Heights 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 CA 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 4,520 sitters in East Richmond Heights, 87% 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.
