“Leslie is a true dog person. She took good care of our German Shepard while we were away. She had loads of dog toys, comfortable places for her to sleep... even the couch and seemed to treat her as she would her own dog. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day.”
“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
About: I have been a dog-lover as far back as I can remember. I can provide a loving home for your dog and ease the anxiety of being apart. I am trustworthy and dependable. Being a pet owner myself, I understand fully that our pets become valued members of our families and should be treated as such. I have a fenced-in yard and will make sure that your pet receives lots of love, adequate exercise, and playtime in addition to the essentials. I live in a nice neighborhood conducive to walks and I am also near several parks should we crave a change of scenery. I work part-time, but my schedule is flexible. Between myself and my daughter, our Rover guests are rarely left alone. I enjoy an active lifestyle and look forward to meeting you and your pet! Questions are welcome! Thank you for your consideration!
“Kelsey was flexible about drop off and pick up which we appreciated while visiting the area’s attractions on a trip. She accommodated our last minute trip and treated Toby well.”
“Angela is awesome. Teddy P had a blast at daycare! Angela you are friendly and caring!! I really appreciated the photos during the day. I'm so happy that you'll be boarding my furbaby during my upcoming cruise. Thank you so much!”
About: I got my first pet fish, Bobby the Betta, at a young age. Ever since, I’ve loved having animals around (even though my mom didn’t). As an adult, I’ve always had multiple animals and cared for both dogs and cats from puppy days to their final moments. 🌈 I have special expertise in senior care. I had a dog, Symon, who was blind before he passed. After him, I adopted a 11-y-o little called Roxie, who is deaf and blind in one eye. I'm also mom to Pepper (10) and a pro at getting her to take pills with peanut butter and crackers. Oh, and Teddy showed up about a year ago as a kitten, and we haven't been able to get rid of him since. 😂 I work from home for myself (and it's slow season right now) and have a child that I co-parent with his dad. Right now, I have plenty of time to help others care for their pets. If that changes, I'll update my availability. I left my dad three pages of instructions and put post-it notes on all the items and cupboards he needed when I went to visit London last year. I am a routine kinda gal, so I will treat your routines and instructions with respect.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.
“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”
About: In all my 26 years of living I have had a dog in my home! I could never see my self living without one! I’ve had all breeds so I know how to handle and care for each one! I will care and treat your pup like family with playtime, cuddles and walks while you’re away! 💙 Pet care is a natural daily part of my routine. My fiancé and I are home regularly as she works from home so there is plenty time to give your pups the attention and care they need! I’m comfortable with maintaining schedules and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have a big fenced in backyard and I have two dogs that love playing with other pups and will help keep your pups active! There’s plenty of time during the day for them to run free and get energy out in the backyard!
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
“Austin watched Bentley on such short notice while we were in town for a short visit and it was the best decision of the weekend! He took such great care of our big dog and had our minds at ease the whole day. Sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend Austin to anyone in need of doggy day care. Thank you again!”
“Cheryl is our go to whenever we need a sitter for Kona. She is flexible with scheduling and treats Kona with the best of care. She provides regular walks and pictures/videos to put us at ease. Kona loves to watch for chipmunks, birds and deer from Cheryl’s windows. I have booked both daycare and overnight care for long trips and we always know we can count on Cheryl.”
About: I have been dog sitting for 10+ years, all shapes, ages & sizes. I helped train/walk my neighbors therapy dog while I was in high school and I was Involved in a club at The Ohio State University called Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I trained, walked and sat dogs of ages 2 months and up that then get assigned to someone in need of help. I have also worked at a vet hospital assisting/watching the doctor during procedures, check-ups and client visits. I love working with dogs/cats and always learning new training techniques. I love watching them grow and learn to become wonderful, well behaved dogs/cats. I love playing and being active with dogs and/or cats and giving them as much attention as they need/want. Your mind will be free of worry while you're away. Your cute furry family member will have the best care and the most attention you could possibly hope for. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself to approve of that! :) I work from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day to attend to your furry babies! Potty breaks, walks during lunch, etc! I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your pup company! I also have a crate if needed. Can accommodate to any normal routines at home.
“Brandon was great with my mom’s dog Cassie. He sent pictures and updates, putting us at ease! He has a great set up for these dogs and I was comfortable leaving her with him! Will definitely use him again should the need arise!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 216 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fairport Harbor. 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 Fairport Harbor 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 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 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 216 sitters in Fairport Harbor, 88% 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.
