We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
“Maria, provided excellent care to my dog in daycare. She sent photos through out the day and my dog looked very happy and comfortable. She was flexible with me and kind as well. I would ask Maria to watch my dog again.”
“We were camping in the area and wanted to explore but did not want to leave our pup in the trailer. So we reached out to Sara for a doggy daycare. Our dog, Maggie had a blast! I highly recommend Sara!”
“Savana was great with Gracie! She was taking care of a bigger dog at the same time, but made sure that Gracie felt completely comfortable and at home. Frequent updates, loving household, their cute and friendly dog Ela for Gracie to play with, food on time - everything was perfect!”
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
“Moose and Chica adore Jennifer and enjoy daycare in her home. She is responsible and gentle with them, treating them as she would if they were part of her family. Thank you Jennifer for all that you've done for us. You are the best! We will definitely reach out when the next opportunity arises.”
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
About: I’ve worked with animals for the last few years. It’s my passion! I’d love to take care of you’re fur baby like it’s my own. I’m a full time stay at home mom and also have 2 dogs of my own. I would have plenty of time to care for your pup. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own. We are outside most of the day playing if it’s nice out side.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
“It was my first time with Leslie and she was great!! Extremely quick to respond, flexible with my crazy scheduling, and treated my dog extremely well. I have never left my dog at day care before and was worried- but she loved it!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred. I do not have any pets at this time, so I welcome pets into my home for care as well! In my home I offer a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Elkton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elkton. 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 Elkton 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 KY 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 190 sitters in Elkton, 86% 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.
