“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, fish during all my life. Not only mine, also my friends’ pets. Now I feed squirrels on my backyard (nobody in the house should know about it) I’m available to see my fluffy friends on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday - before 6 p.m. and after 9 p.m. , any other day - full-time. I create such atmosphere so that pets can have the time of their life: play hide-and-seek, pat their bellies as much as needed. I don’t give bones to them (if only it’s a toy-bone or kind of snack you bring)!
“Hayley is so sweet! Has been updating me on a regular about my fur baby and sending pictures. I definitely felt very comfortable and at ease leaving knowing my pup does have a little separation anxiety. Definitely will be back!:)❤️”
“Cindy has taken care of our dog a couple of times and did a fabulous job!! She was so attentive to her and took her for multiple walks. Thank you Cindy!!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my professional veterinary background. Having worked for two years in a vet clinic, I have hands-on experience dealing with a wide range of medical and behavioral situations. I am completely confident and trained in administering vaccines, monitoring health, and managing medications—skills that give pet parents ultimate peace of mind, especially those with senior animals or pets needing specialized medical care. In addition to my clinical training, I bring three years of personal, dedicated experience caring for Lincoln. This balance of professional medical know-how and genuine, day-to-day pet parenting means I know exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet requires an extra-observant eye, precise medical care, or just someone who truly understands animal behavior, I have the skills to handle it with ease. Pet care is a natural, seamless part of my everyday life. Between my three years of daily care for Lincoln and my background working in a busy vet clinic, I am highly accustomed to keeping animals on structured routines. Whether I am providing boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I structure my days around a consistent schedule of timely feedings, outdoor exercise, and close health monitoring. Because of my clinical training, keeping a watchful eye on a pet's energy levels, appetite, and bathroom habits is second nature to me. I treat every client's routine as a top priority, ensuring your pet gets their medication, walks, and attention exactly when they need it. In My Home: Safety & Routine First When pets stay with me, they enter a safe, highly supervised environment. Thanks to my veterinary background, my home is completely pet-proofed, and I maintain a strict, structured routine for feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Because I have three years of experience managing Lincoln’s daily routine, I know how important consistency is for a guest pet's comfort. I treat every furry guest like a member of the family, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, and a cozy place to rest. Plus, if your pet has any special medical needs or strict medication schedules, my clinical training ensures they will be handled perfectly.
“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have been watching since I was 20 years old. I watched friends dogs, siblings dogs and I used to have a Jack Russell beagle mix. His name was Milo. I work Monday through Friday, but I drove a truck. I’m on the road all day so I have the ability to come home. Check on the animals play with them. Feed them walk them throughout the day. I usually get off at 4 PM. No matter if I’m in some ways home or the animals are at my house I love to go out for walks with dogs and play with pets in general pet them. Let them sit on my life and just spend time with them so they never feel lonely.
About: I am the proud grandparent of dogs and kids! I love to make families feel comfortable leaving their furry family members with me while you are away. I love to walk dogs so your baby will get lots of exercise while you are gone if they enjoy that. I will love and play and comfort your pet while you are away! I will do what you request for your pup to be happy and feel safe! Our only limitation is we can only care for non-shedding dogs due to that kind of allergy. But if your dog does shed, we can do visits to your home instead of boarding at ours! I am retired so I am there most of the time to take care of your fur ball! I will make sure your pup gets what they need every day! I walk dogs several times a day if they like it. I cuddle when watching TV and during play time. I will update with photos and videos so families can feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and enjoying their vacation as well! I love meeting new friends and helping families have a relaxing time away knowing their furry family member is well cared for…
“Suzanne is excellent. She took care of our puppy like her own. He was always happy to go and when I picked up. Suzanne made sure all care instructions were followed to the dot. I am glad we could find her. Will always contact her when we need to.”
“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
“Vainy helped us out with short notice and did an outstanding job! She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”
“Erika is great! She and her daughter are great dog sitters. My pooch had a blast playing with with their two resident dogs. Looking forward to a return visit when the need arises!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilliard
Tom was wonderful with our senior dog, Frankie. He set him up to have a comfortable experience in a new place. He took him on walks and we received multiple photos of Frank too! We appreciate feeling like our boy was in great hands and being well cared for while we were away; that peace of mind is everything. Communication with Tom was top notch and he offers a meet and greet prior to our scheduled day. Thank you, Tom!!
Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hilliard on Rover is $27.75 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 640 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hilliard. 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 Hilliard 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 OH 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 640 sitters in Hilliard, 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 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.
