“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!”
“Roseanne’s home was calm and peaceful - exactly what my little old man needed. She and her boys gave him lots of snuggles and hugs, but best of all - he got his first ever time swimming in the pool - he loved it!! (And I loved the video). What a wonderful day he had.”
“Matt & Tara were great with my gal, Pebbles. They sent me a couple of photos along with messages letting me know she was okay, which was a relief especially since this was the 1st time using them, will definitely rebook with Matt & Tara”
“Becky was patient with my nervous puppy. She was very flexible with time changes and schedule changes. My dog came home tired from playing and multiple walks. Would use this sitter again”
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
About: Hi there! I've taken care of friend's and family dogs and had my own dogs for over 20 years. Fortunately, I work from home. That, and my long pet siting experience prompted me to extend my services to others and create this profile. I live in a single house with a sweetest cat ever and 10 years old mellow bichon. My house has a fully fenced yard in is located in a very dog friendly neighborhood. Your dog will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of supervision. My home is best suited for small to medium dogs, as my furry boy naturally prefers companions who are his own size or smaller. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home! I am working from home and able to provide frequent potty breaks and constant attention during the day and after work. I can easily adjust to your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard. I also like to walk my dogs in the neighborhood or Pennypack trail. I live 5 minutes away from Lorimer park trail.
“Yino was great with our dog! He got so much attention and was very well loved while he spent the day with her. She sent us photos throughout day which I was very grateful for! We will definitely be using Yino again!”
“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!”
About: My name is Christian. I am kind, gentle, and fun loving. I will walk, run, exercise, and play fetch with your dog and care for him/her as if he/she were one of my own. I will walk any dog, any size, age, or breed. I’ve always enjoyed dogs a lot. Your dogs will have such a fun time they won’t want to leave. I am available seven days a week rain or shine and my hours are flexible. No matter what, you can count on me to walk your dog. If you require any special requests just let me know and I will see what I can do. If you need your pet washed I can do that too. I look forward to walking your dog!
“Joe and Bonnie took such great care of Leo. They were so kind and caring, sent updates and photos. And Leo was so happy when I picked him up. I never worried while he was in their care. I would highly recommend them!”
“Yuhan was able to care for my corgi Luna as I made a last minute daycare request. When I picked up Luna she looked so happy that she was smiling all night. That’s my biggest indicator that Yuhan cared for my fur baby as I would at home.”
“Mariia was very kinda and welcoming to my 2 month old puppy coco. She made sure she was fed, had, water and went to the bathroom every 2 hours. Coco loved playing with her young son and she sent some great pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule and I very much appreciated that!”
“First time with Shannon and Taz seemed to settle in easily. Nice fenced in yard. Shannon was very easy to work with, took him on walks and seemed to genuinely care about his well being. Taz will be a repeat customer! Thanks Shannon!”
“My pet enjoyed another great stay with Mary! She is very attentive and sends lots of pictures and updates frequently, so we always feel like he is being taken care of during his stay.”
“We recently started to bring our dog Maddie to Kate for daycare. We wanted to bring our dog to a more intimate setting versus with 100 other dogs. This way she has a playmate and a yard to run around in. Kate has been great!!! Maddie enjoys going over (often pulls me on her leash to go inside from the driveway). Kate is very communicative and shares updates (texts, video, photos) throughout the day so you know what your puppers is up to. We are grateful!!!”
“Yuiko is a terrific pet sitter! She gave me Milo’s update very often. This was so helpful for me have peaceful mind as this was my first experience with Yuiko.”
“We are first timers at Rover and was nervous as we don’t have much experience with leaving our Ari 🐕 with someone outside of family. Terri was so nice and fast with communications prior to our meet. She greeted us friendly at our first meet today. When we picked up our dog, Ari 🐕 looked happy and looked like everything went well. Terri was great with updating us with how the day went with our dog. We appreciated her feedbacks and updates. Looking forward to sending our Ari 🐕 again to Terri.”
About: I am 33 years old. I was raised around animals. My father had every pet you can think of in our home. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pig, turtles , andeven ponies. I love animals and wish I could own a farm or something similar just so I could be surrounded by animals. I have used rover in the past but lost my login info but I was a dog sitter for about a year. I live in an apartment near Pennypack Park so I can take your pets on walks there or outside my building are grassy areas. If you book with me you will not regret it. I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.
“Oreo had a wonderful time at Mike's house! She enjoyed playing with Mike's sweet dog Trent as well as a few other four-legged guests in the spacious fenced backyard, and came home happy and exhausted. Mike was very prompt with communication and sent some fun pictures. Thank you!”

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.

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Heaton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,519 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,519 sitters in Heaton, 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
