“Our girl Stevie LOVED her daycare visit with Crystal! Crystal was inviting, warm, and friendly with great communication and updates. Stevie got to play, made some friends, and seemed immediately comfortable in Crystal’s care. We’re thrilled to have found such a good fit and are looking forward to booking with Crystal for the holidays. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashlee was amazing!!! Murphy has a hard time adjusting to new people and surroundings, and she really took the time to get him acclimated and was patient with him. She kept me up to date with how he was doing, eating, and using the restroom. She has a great setup for the dogs and genuinely cares for them all so much. I’ll happily book with Ashlee for any future needs :)”
“Jennifer took such great care of our energetic pup! It was so nice to know Willow was being well loved & cared for. Jennifer sent a great report card each day and Willow was always worn out when we picked her up. Willow can’t wait for her next play date with Jennifer’s pup & attention from her family.”
“Ryne was nothing short of amazing with Maizey. I definitely would recommend him for all of your dog needs! He’s attentive to the dog and the human’s needs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received. From our first interaction, he was friendly, professional, and you could tell that he is genuinely passionate about animals. He took the time to get to know my dog’s routine and personality, which made me feel confident leaving my sweet Maizey in his care.”

“Ainsley was great! My little dog seemed completely comfortable at her home and was obviously happy when I picked him up. I definitely would recommend her as a sitter — she’s very kind, a great communicator, and clearly loves animals. Will ask her to watch my dog again. Thanks Ainsley! A+++”
“Jill and her family were great! She called me prior to make sure she knew everything about my dog to be able to take the best care! She was quick to respond during day! And my dog was so tired from playing with her kids, as she slept in later than she ever did before the next morning! :) will definitely use Jill again!!”
“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

“Alex and Sarah are friendly, thoughtful dog sitters and I appreciated that they want to have a meet and greet before watching Smudge for the first time. They were flexible and communicative. We’ll definitely ask for their services in the future!”

“We love Emily and Jim! They treat my dog as one of their own and my dog loves going to spend the day with them and their family. I leave my dog with them knowing she is safe, in good hands, having fun, and getting plenty of attention. They are also great at giving updates and taking pics. Emily and Jim are both exceptional and trustworthy. We would recommend them to anyone!!”
About: I have experience with small and large dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my family and have learned the needs that are specific to certain breeds. I have walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds of dogs. I can handle energetic puppies and dogs since I have had experience with them in the past. I have walked small dogs and large dogs for other families before. I also enjoy taking the dogs I have or watch to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs in a leash-free setting. I also have some experience training my own dogs and tips I have picked up along the way for certain dog behaviors. I can handle baths and light grooming if needed. I work in student affairs at UNMC and work from home a large chunk of the week. I have a flexible schedule so can care for your pup as needed. I have a sweet 7 year old pup and 6 month old pup that can keep your pup company if staying with me! Otherwise, I can watch your fur baby at your home with no issues! I can also crate and reinforce their training if needed!
“My dog Mollie stayed with Donna for doggy day care. Mollie was immediately comfortable around Donna and was sufficiently tired when I took her home. Donna was very welcoming and prompt when it came to responding to my messages. She sent me updates through pictures and gave me a feedback of Mollie's stay. Great experience!”
“I’m so happy we found Alexis. Last minute, she spent the afternoon with Max and Luna halfway through our long road trip and watched them while we took our family downtown. They were clearly happy and were able to get their wiggles out.”
About: My passion for caring for animals from a very young age! My Grandparents and parents were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language, most specifically, my dad. I started when I was 15 years old when I owned 3 dogs: two German shepherds and a Pitbull. Throughout my life, I also owned 2 Weimaraners, and an incredible Basset Hound. His name was Hank, and recently passed away being 12 years old. I work remotely as a Project Controller, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility. During my free time, I love hanging out with my family and friends, going on walks, going to the beach, and watching the sunset with my spouse. I also like learning something new and challenging, reading a good book, working out, dancing, and cooking! If you trust me with your dog, she/he may be learning a new language! I work remotely, which is perfect as it provides a lot of flexibility as well as allows me spend more time taking care of my dog as well of others. Doing daily walks, play games, giving them some love! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if you prefer and make other accommodations as needed.
“Mia had another awesome day with Joan, Clark, and Frances! She got to play outside a lot and got lots of cuddles! If you are looking for someone to take great care of your dog, look no further!”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Glenwood on Rover is $44.96 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Glenwood 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 IA 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 255 sitters in Glenwood, 85% 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.
