About: With 6 years of pet care experience, I provide patient, reliable, and loving care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training support, crate routines, cleaning, and giving extra attention to pets who may be shy, anxious, energetic, or need a little more patience. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs in professional pet care settings, so I understand how important safety, structure, and communication are. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m home most of the time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pet attention throughout the day. I’m flexible and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable while they’re with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I’ll treat your baby with the same love and patience I’d want someone to give mine. I have a large yard for safe play and potty breaks, and I’ll always keep a close eye on them. I’m big on communication, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you feel comfortable while your pet is with me.
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
“Betsey took great care of my dog, Sparky! Betsey was responsive, flexible, and kind. She provided updates and emailed photos, reassuring me that Sparky was happy and in great hands. I could tell that Sparky basked in attention from the whole family!”
About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.
“We just moved in the area and I was super nervous about leaving my fur babies in a new place with a new sitter but right off the bat when we first met Shraddha we had a great first impression. She was very prompt in her response and I appreciated that she accepted my request at even a short notice. She was very thorough and loving with my dogs and even posted pictures of them throughout the day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and will certainly use her services in the future. Highly recommend 👍🏻!”

About: I've always had pets of my own or in my care; from my childhood golden retriever mix to the cats that have allowed me in "their" home, to working as a caretaker in a Georgia county animal shelter and fostering kittens, puppies, and adult dogs through Athens Canine Rescue, animals make me happy. . I'm comfortable taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and needs, either in my house or yours. While I don't offer training, I have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, fear aggression, and resource guarding, and am happy to accommodate your pet in whatever way he/she needs. I'm excited to host your pets in their home away from home. I work full time from home as a data analyst, so your companion will have constant daytime supervision. With about 1 full acre fenced in, my home is secluded, peaceful, and a super place for your friend to spend time. Just let me know what you want for your pet and I'm more than happy to accommodate; in my home, my pets come first!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Free Home
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Free Home on Rover is $35.97 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,258 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Free Home. 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 Free Home 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 2,258 sitters in Free Home, 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.
