“Jason is amazing! Our pup Lucy is very shy around both people and dogs and Jason has provided the perfect combination of comfort and fun for her to come out of her shell more. His dog Ava is playful, sweet and well trained. Jason communicates well and sends pictures/videos throughout the day. Highly recommend Jason! Your dog will be happy and well cared for.”
About: My entire life I have been taking care of dogs. Since the moment I was born there has always been a dog present. What sets me apart is my personalized approach to dog sitting, with a focus on both physical and emotional well-being. I offer specialized care for puppies, including basic training and socialization, as well as extra attention for senior dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. With experience in handling dogs of all ages, I tailor my services to meet each dog’s unique needs—whether it’s extra playtime, administering medication, or simply providing a calm, loving presence. Your dog will not only be well cared for but also treated like family. I’m currently a full time student at the University of South Carolina, so my schedule does change every semester. Currently I have classes from Monday/Wednesday 11:15-2pm, Tuesday/Thursday 10:05-11:30 and Friday 1-2pm. They are back to back classes and I’m only gone for 2.5 hours max at a time. I have a car down here so it’s easy for me to get back and forth quickly. On weekends I have full availability. I live in a dog-friendly home with three responsible roommates who all have experience caring for dogs. While I am the primary caregiver and will handle feeding, walks, and overall supervision, my roommates also love animals and help provide extra company and comfort. I have a spacious upstairs room where dogs can stay comfortably, and both our front and back doors are secure and locked most of the time to ensure safety at all times. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment to help your dog feel relaxed and at home. My goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where your dog gets plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
“Dante was an amazing caretaker! I received photo updates throughout her stay as she got to enjoy playing with his lil Frenchie. I received a lovely report upon pickup too, as she was smiling away!! She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”
“This is Nate’s fourth day of doggie daycare at Ian’s. He seems to enjoy hanging out with Ian’s dog Chloe and whatever other dogs are there. Ian is responsive to requests for care and very dependable. Great fenced in backyard space for the pups, too!”
About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have been a pet owner my whole life and have lots of experience with caring for others pets as well as my own! My family has also fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work another part time job but would love to help during mornings and evenings and on weekends! I have a mostly flexible schedule and can make time to assist you! I have a fenced in yard and a cat of my own who is friendly with other cats and dogs. I live in a safe neighborhood to walk dogs. I have plentiful experience feeding, walking, grooming, and caring for both cats and dogs!
About: I’ve had rescue dogs since I was a child. I get a lot of joy out of fostering dogs and helping them find their furever home. I also grew up with cats and love a sassy attitude. Looking to soak up some good pet energy this summer! I’m not working this summer, so I’m home all day and ready to entertain your pet. I love taking walks so your dog will get at least two walks per day. I spend a lot of time in the pool, so your pet can enjoy the yard as much as they want. Enrichment toys, watching birds and squirrels, naps in the sun, the occasional pup cup, games of fetch, and zoomies galore. I have a big, fenced in yard. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s what they prefer. Willing to accommodate. Will reward with Puperoni!
About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have a cat named Pumpkin and a guinea pig named Cozy, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.
About: I have had a dog for 20 years, my whole life! I have watched other dogs for 10 years by letting them out, walking them, or overnights. I love playing with dogs!

My neighborhood is a great spot for long walks! I have a small friendly little dog who loves to play.

About: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend

It’s so hard finding someone who is reliable and trustworthy to care for your babies, but I am extremely trustworthy and professional.
“Matthew was great. He took wonderful care of Sophie and I believe she wanted to stay. He took Soohienon multiple walks and treats her as his own. He even accepted the opportunity to watch Sophie in short notice! Matthew if we were staying in the area, you’d be our new best friend! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sophie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gradyville
Rachel was absolutely amazing with our pup, Leo. I have been searching for a dog sitter ( daycare) for long time and met with many people but there was no connection between us and very little communication which is very important for me when it comes to my baby🐶💙 She and her husband took Leo in like a family member , her dogs became his friends right away and they were a pack in no time. I also received lots of pictures and videos while Leo was there which I appreciated very much! We will definitely be using Rachel again !! Thank you so much 🥰

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Gradyville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,464 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gradyville. 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 Gradyville 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 2,464 sitters in Gradyville, 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.
