About: Hi there! I have 4 years of experience caring for my own sweet Maltipoo, plus two senior Chihuahuas (13 and 9 years old) in my family. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and temperaments—whether they’re energetic or need extra patience. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family💛. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities! I work full-time on Rover, so I’m very responsive and usually reply within 5 minutes❣️. I’m available every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.

About: I’ve built strong bonds with dogs over the years — including a deep connection with a pit bull I cared for consistently over a year, and ongoing care for a friend’s anxious dog who takes daily medication. I’ve also dog-sat for a coworker and have a history of being the go-to person for friends’ and family’s dogs, including pets who took to me right away. I’m comfortable with medication schedules, anxious or nervous dogs, and larger breeds, and I prioritize keeping dogs on their normal routine and feeling secure while their people are away. I’m currently job searching , as a long term social worker/therapist, which gives me a flexible daily schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally free during the day and evenings, with consistent availability throughout the week to keep your pet on their routine. I have two cats of my own — a senior cat on a twice-daily medication routine and a younger cat with a sensitive temperament — so I’m experienced with calm, low-stress environments. I’m attentive to introductions, keep a clean space, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable. While I don’t have a private yard, there’s grass right in front of my place, a larger grassy area across my street, and a Power Line trail just across the main road for walks
“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
“We are very happy with our first day care date for Rupert! We are glad to hear that he was comfortable with Ryan & Caroline and are very comfortable with the upcoming first overnight. We hope this can be a long term relationship!”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Heaton is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Heaton
We’re so grateful to have Veronica as our dog place sitter! She graciously took in Oliver on short notice so we could travel to NJ for the 90th celebration at Mark’s childhood church. Knowing Ollie had a safe place for many hours is wonderful. Thank you Veronica!
This was our first time using Rover, and we had a great experience leaving Lily with Jeffrey. Even though she is a very anxious dog, we could tell she had a wonderful time playing with her new friends. Jeffrey is also very easy to communicate with. He also send pictures to us on how our Lily doing—highly recommended!
I had a fantastic experience with Molly and Quinten. Their communication was excellent; they were very quick to get back to me regarding my last-minute daycare request. They showed great flexibility and were incredibly accommodating of my unpredictable schedule, including allowing an earlier-than-expected pick-up for Hank. Hank was clearly happy when I picked him up and was tired, as he slept most of the drive home. I can tell he had nice stay. Thank you!
Hillary was fantastic with Tux. She sent me periodic updates on his well-being along with pictures which helped me manage my stress which occurred due to the emergency nature of my booking. But my day was fantastic and I picked up a very happy dog that afternoon. Thank you Hillary!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Heaton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,492 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Heaton. 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 Heaton 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 2,492 sitters in Heaton, 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.
