“Stephanie was an amazing host to our dog. The atmosphere was lively with other friendly dogs. I'm sure our dog had a good time here and was plenty stimulated. Very appreciative of the fun photos Stephanie took during our dog's stay.”
“Lizdalia is an amazing host for Joey. He had a great experience the two times we used her services and we a looking forward to another great overnight care for Joey this coming weekend. Thanks Lizdalia - 5 Star Reciew⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jackie was wonderful with Toby! She gave him so much love and care, and he came home happy and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Jennie and her family are amazing. She takes such good care of Samara while I am at work. Samara loves her big fenced in back yard, her girls and getting to play with other pups! She always comes home wiped out from having a good time! Thanks, Jennie!”
“Edward was amazing with my rescue dog, Dunkin. He took care of him the entire day, sent pictures and video updates through the app, and made me feel like my pup was in really good hands. Edward allowed Dunkin to roam freely around the house, didn't mind him getting on furniture, and made the whole experience really easy and stress free. He provides a laid back environment that really allows the dog and the owner to relax and not worry about a thing. I would 100% recommend him and I will definitely be using Edward again!”
About: I work from home and would love to host and care for your fur babies while you are at work or away on vacation. I have loved animals of all types my entire life. My husband and I formerly rescued and fostered multiple rat terriers and placed them in loving homes through an organization called New Rattitude. I currently have a volunteer position with the same organization as a microchip coordinator. While I was in high school and college I worked for two animal clinics in the Metro Atlanta area and volunteered with local animal shelters. My family pets over the past 22 years were 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mixes that all lived to be seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages. Since I am at home so much, your dogs will be not be lonely, they will be doted on and treated like royalty. I have a large fenced in yard for sniffing, exercise and exploration. I only take one client at a time. I do not have any pets of my own. Yours will have my undivided attention and care. I will update you with photos and status reports on a daily basis. Please understand that while we have experience with senior dogs and dogs with special needs, we are currently unable to book dogs that are experiencing incontinence (even with diapers) and night time pacing/spatial disorientation/sleeplessness that comes with senility. Since I work from home, I will keep your dog on any required schedule such as medications, supplements, specific feeding times, and potty breaks. Playtimes and naptimes will be intermittent throughout the day. I have comfy doggie beds throughout the house and under my office desk. My home is clean and safe. I have a secure, fenced in yard with many areas to explore and space to run around. All gates are padlocked. I also stay outside with the dogs that are in my care. I leave a full bowl of water out 24 -7. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed if that is what they are accustomed to, I can also crate them if that is preferred. Your dog(s) will be safe and happy as guests in my home. I have a Red Cross Certification in Pet First Aid in the rare occasion there would be a need. I am also sensitive to dogs with thunder and firework fears, we have a comfy furnished basement space that mutes the bad sounds and we hang out there until everything calms down.
“Karen was able to help us out at the last minute and was such a huge help! She sent updates throughout the day on how Winnie was doing and her antics. She was flexible with our pickup and Winnie came home exhausted from a full day of play!”
“Kelsey and Marcus were such a great match for Freda. When I picked her up, she was so happy and I knew she was treated with the utmost love and enjoyment. I would definitely have Freda stay with them again when Freda needs a safe and caring place to stay!”
“Francisco had a great time with Debbie and Robert. I can see that he enjoyed hanging out with the pack! Looking forward to another doggy date with his friends.”
“I was struggling with two pups and traveling. Angie talked to me for an hour and did a 4 hour daycare visit that day. My girls had so much fun and made new friends! I learned some new tips and felt so at ease leaving my girls with her! I am so happy that we have booked again and we can't wait to see Angie! I am much less anxious and more relaxed with my girls and can't wait to see Angie again!”
“Norma & Luke’s home was a perfect fit for Milli. She made herself at home upon our initial meet & greet, so I scheduled a playdate a couple of days later and she got along great with the other fur friends that were there. They sent pictures and updates of her during the stay. We will definitely schedule future daycare stays.”
About: Hi! My name is Steffinie, and caring for animals has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I recently lost my fur baby after 12 years together, and find being around other pets has provided a great deal of comfort. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your best friend feel as loved, comfortable, and cared for as they do at home. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’ll make sure to take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe and happy. If you’d like to schedule a Meet and Greet, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I'm currently home full time and live in a cozy, quiet apartment with no children or other pets, allowing me to provide your pup with plenty of one-on-one attention. I’ll be sure to carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty routines, and any special requests you have. You can expect regular photo and video updates so you'll always know your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Emerson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,343 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Emerson. 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 Emerson 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 GA 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 1,343 sitters in Emerson, 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.
