“Kayla took excellent care of Eddie. She introduced him to the pack and even got him accustomed to a cat, which doesn’t happen very often to him. We would rebook her without question again!”
About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
About: I've owned and cared for a lot of different animals since I was 7, ferrets, rats, mice, fish, dogs, cats. I have senior animal care experience, and experience giving animals medication on a schedule. I've had my own dog Pinky since she was a puppy, so I'm sure I can handle any rambunctious pups! I have some cat stuff, even though I don't own a cat. I have a cat tree, scratching posts, cat toys. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets! I'm available for you to drop off/pick up your pets on weekends and weekdays from 8am - 10pm I have a Large fenced in back yard, and plenty of time to take dogs on walks. I have a small 5lbs Chihuahua named Pinky, she likes cats and medium to small dogs (big dogs make her a little nervous, but we are working on that). Pinky is crate trained, so if your fur baby is crate trained I'll have no problem letting them out in the morning, and putting them in at night. If you have a senior animal, or an animal that needs medication, let me know all of the care details, so I can keep them on schedule and keep them comfortable and cared for!
“I cannot express enough how amazing Samantha is!! I needed a last minute sitter for my goldens and she responded within minutes that she was willing and available. She sent the cutest pics of the dogs throughout the day and it was clear the dogs were having the best time! You could see how happy and cared for they were with Samantha! I will book with Samantha anytime I can in the future if the pups need a sitter! She is AMAZING!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I love animals and I enjoy being around them. I have a one year old German shepherd mix who loves other animals and playing so it would be a great opportunity for the both of us.

I have a very nice neighborhoood where I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need(: if you have any questions I’m free to answer any you have. I live with one other person who would be able to help so somebody will always be available to love and care for your pets! We do great team work and we are ready to have fun I have one small child , 7 years old who is home Sunday - Thursday! I have plenty of time to enjoy time with your pets. Depending on the times I have your animals I like to start off with feeding and excercise early in the morning with evening walks and play sessions also being part of the daily schedule. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur baby to keep hours company. I am open to spending all the time in the world with your animals.🫶🏽

About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. I've gone through agility class, traveled around with them, and performed medical care as needed I retired about a year ago from the healthcare field. I am frequently available to care for dogs and cats in many situations and time frames I live in a complex with a doggie walk and a fenced in area. I can care for your pet at your home as well, and can walk and exercise them.
“I had a great experience with Emily. She responded promptly and hopped on a call to discuss details before booking, which was helpful. It seemed like our dogs were well cared for during our day at Cedar Point. I really appreciated some pictures and updates throughout the day. Thanks again, Emily!”
“I booked with Debbra for my mom and we were so happy with how considerate she was. My mom ended up having phone issues, took a wrong turn, and was hours late to picking up her dog. Debbra was so flexible and understanding, it took a load off my mom who was already at peak stress. We couldn’t recommend Debbra enough!”
“Top notch care!! Very attentive to details. Work well with my dog to allow him time to become comfortable in a new place with him and his dogs. Sent lots of pictures and even cleaned my dogs tear stains. AA++”
About: After a few years of house and dog sitting, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and feel comfortable with any breed or personality. I’m reliable, responsible, and love spending time with animals. I live in an apartment right on Lake Road in Avon Lake, in a very walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of great areas nearby for walks! 🐾 I’m available for pet care throughout the week. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention before and after work. I’m also available on weekends. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to provide your pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away! I’m dependable, attentive, and would treat your pets like my own. 🐶💕 I live in an apartment in Avon Lake, right across from parks—ideal for walks, playtime, or relaxing outside. I’m active and love getting pups fresh air and exercise. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. At my place, dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time and a calm, cozy environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routines and house rules closely. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
About: We are so excited to open our home to new visitors. We are a home with lots of love, a fenced-in yard, and a sweet 4-year-old dachshund-beagle to keep your pup company. I currently work from home and have the daytime and weekend availability to meet the needs of your pet. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and even house visits during the week. I have a large fenced-in yard with lots of sniffing areas. Our community is very walkable with sidewalks, parks, and the beach nearby. Our pup Ruby is great with other dogs and would love to have a buddy in our home to play with.
“Nico had a great experience spending the day with Olesja. She sent lots of pictures through out the day, and was quick to respond when we reached out. Nico enjoyed playing with her dogs. She took amazing care of him. Really appreciate all the care and attention she gave him.”
About: I absolutely love dogs! I have grown up with dogs and have years of dog sitting under my belt. Your pups will be safe and happy with me! I work from home, and I am able to provide your dog(s) all of the care that they need! I am able to walk, babysit, or play with your pups whenever you need! I will make sure your dogs are well taken care of and treat them like they are my own! If I come to your house, I will follow your pets routine.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities. I care for every dog like they're one of my own. My home isn't run on a strict schedule instead, dogs become part of our daily routine. We start our mornings by getting up and heading outside to play, and on weekends we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the yard. During the week, I work from home, so the dogs hang out with me inside and get plenty of attention throughout the day. They have opportunities to go outside whenever they need to, and I make a point to get everyone out at least once every hour. My goal is to provide a relaxed, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.
“Jeffany was amazing! We were in need of a rover sitter as our other recently moved, so I'm so grateful to have found Jeffany! Our pup absolutely loved running around in her lovely, spacious backyard with the other pups she was taking care of at the time. Jeffany was super easy to communicate with and sent multiple updates/photos throughout the day which I really appreciated! I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again for sure! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elyria
we were so glad to be able to leave our dogs with lindsey and highly recommend! her and her son were so friendly and i felt great trusting them with our dogs. clear communication, and incredibly smooth pickup, she packed everything we brought and had the dogs leashed and ready!! treated our dog's needs as no big deal, and just seemed very competent/ capable/ trustworthy-- i felt confident she read/ listened to all our info and that she would be able to meet their needs and make good decisions if something unexpected arose. dogs seemed happy and calm (and maybe a little reluctant to leave) when we picked them up. thanks for making a stressful day easier for us and our pets!!
Lindsey was super patient with my dogs. There was a terrible storm during the time she had Zara and Zara is terrified of storms. I know this required a lot of extra time and patience and she did not seem put out at all. I am thankful to have found this service and Lindsey

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Elyria
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Elyria is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 422 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elyria. 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 Elyria 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 422 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.

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.
