“Such a lovely woman. Sami and Bleu must have had a wonderful time. They had lots of playmates….wore them out. They have been sleeping since we left. I will definitely get in touch again. Thank you so much Regina.”
About: We’ve had dogs all our lives and have not been without a dog for the past 15 years. We love spending time with our furry friends and friend's and family's furbabies. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large great danes. Stephanie even worked at a doggy daycare in her teens/early 20s. While we mostly take care of dogs, we would love to have the privilege to spend time with your cat(s), too. We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of our own and are ready to spend time with your special animal baby of any (except snakes for Stephanie- so sorry!) species. (If you have a cow that you'd like to be checked on, Stephanie is your girl!) We both work from home. When you aren't available or are just too darn tired to take Winnie the Poodle for a walk or they just need someone to spend some time with, hit us up and we’ll do it for you! Our schedule is pretty flexible. If our calendar here isn't showing that we’re available, send us a message anyway and we can probably work something out. In our world, furry companions aren't just pets—they're cherished family members, each with their own quirks and unconditional love to share. We’ve spent a lifetime embracing the joy of treating them not just as animals, but as beloved children with wagging tails and boundless affection. In our care, your pets are not just under a watchful eye; they're enveloped in a warm embrace, showered with the same love and attention we give to our own family. Because to us, love knows no bounds, whether it's wrapped in fur or flesh.
“A short day boarding with Coralee, but our dog loves to play with Bo and Angel. We have another week long stay coming up with Coralee. She’s always communicative, sends lots of pictures/videos/updates, and of course we appreciate how well our pup is taken care of at Coralee’s. Plus, she loves to play with Bo!”
“Liz was so great with daisy! She watched her all day for me and even took some pictures! She’s so nice and very accommodating. I’ve already booked to board my dog with her in a few weeks. Definitely recommend!!”
“We are so happy to have found such a great companion for our senior dog Meela. Tyler agreed to watch Meela last minute and kept us informed the entire time. Our elder girl simply likes to hang out with humans, and eat treats in her retirement age. It’s hard to find sitters that won’t leave leave her alone due to her high anxiety. All she needed was a friend, and we are glad to have found one in Tyler.”
“My puppy had a great experience at doggy daycare with Maria and Tony. The communication was great throughout the day and I felt confident Samson was well taken care of. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! BOARDING NOTE: for the safety of my dog, your dog, and my home, I only accept boarding requests for dogs that are crate trained. Thank you for understanding! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet.
“Gregory was an awesome sitter! He was so easy to communicate with and was super laid back. He listened to my pups needs and made sure pup was happy. He has the sweetest dog (Zora) that I have ever met. I’m so glad I found Zora and Gregory. I’ve never seen my pup leave as happy as he did, this sit:)”
“Sophie was fantastic and Eva seemed happy when I went to pick her up. I would be very comfortable leaving Eva in Sophie's care again if needed. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet girl!”
About: I have our wheaten terrier George for 1.5 years and I have experience sitting dogs for our neighborhood. I have a nice front yard and doggy door for all day free roaming. My neighborhood is very low traffic perfect for dog walking. I work from home full-time for my own company. My schedule is quite flexible but typically I do 8 am morning walk and an afternoon walk around 5 pm for my dog. Happy to do additional walk if requested. I will take care of your dog just like we treat our dog George. He is super friendly and kind to all human and dog. I will make sure they can get along and I will send picture throughout the day.
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Dusty in her care. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girl came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for…❤️ Valerie went above and beyond in every way, and it’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Thank you, Valerie, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.
“Tia was great! She accepted my request on short notice and made me feel at ease about leaving my boy Pete with her. We drove into town and needed a sitter for a few hours. She was the perfect choice for Pete the Pug. He was safe and secure in her fenced in yard. She also made him feel right at home letting him on her couch as part of the family. He made a new friend, Tang her adorable dog. She sent pictures and even a video to help ease my mind about dropping him off with a stranger away from home. I highly recommend her. And if we go back to Pittsburgh I will definitely book with her again.”
“Joe is wonderful! He took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and information throughout the day. We are looking forward to making Joe our regular dog daycare provider!”
“Jessica was flexible and easy to communicate with. She has a HUGE yard with a tall fence. I think my pup thought she had her own personal dog park! She came home happy and tired 😊”
“Melanie was amazing! She immediately helped Mikey feel comfortable at home, and took him out on walks. Mikey was able to relax and spend plenty of time with Melanie, and she even found a rash on him and let us know about it. Absolutely would recommend!”
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes so I have experience looking after nearly all kinds of dogs. I am capable of also looking after multiples dogs at once, truly caring for them, and playing with them. My wife and I will spend our time and efforts to make your dog feel at home. As I have dogs of my own, it will fit like a glove as I will be caring for your dog alongside my own. I will treat your dog like my own. Dogs are very important to me regardless whether it’s my own dog or someone else’s. I will make sure that dog is safe and feels cared for in any environment.

We are first-time dog-owners, and finding someone to watch our puppy Royce felt overwhelming. But Royce stayed with Tyler for a day as a trial run and came home happy and unstressed - and we felt so thankful to have found someone who was not only comfortable for Royce but who also enjoyed our puppy. The pictures and updates were very fun to receive; Royce clearly had a great time. We have already booked two future boarding dates with Tyler!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fox Chapel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 656 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fox Chapel. 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 Fox Chapel 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 PA 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 656 sitters in Fox Chapel, 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.
