“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“Lexi and Victor were very easy going and responsive. We booked them so we could go hiking in Mount Rainier National Park for the day and it worked perfect. They were flexible and had great communication. Teddy had a great time.”
“Amanda was great! She communicated clearly with me and took great care of my pup. My dog was always so excited to go to daycare with her and she never wanted to leave. She got along very well with the other pets in the house.”
“Vanessa took such a good care of our dog. She sent tons of photos during the day and kept us updated on their routine and on my dog’s behavior. She has really cute kids that look like great around dogs and love to give them pets. She is very sweet and responsive, and I will totally recommend her.”
“Our year old pup Thea got to go to the Dog Park, & run off some energy. And bathe in the rain puddle. And Jessica's young daughter got to scratch her belly... Which both of them loved as the photo shows.”
“Thank you Joyce for watching Jax at the last minute. Joyce treated my dog like her own. Jax got along well with her dogs and was comfortable being there. I will definitely have Jax over again.”

“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“Carol was kind and reassuring for Shady Baker's first time going solo at her house. Her family is welcoming and they have a beautiful large backyard with lots of "good smells". It was a shorter visit, and I received a photo of Shady Baker on the hunt for squirrels, alongside their dog Marvin. I would recommend Carol!”
“Loki seemed to love staying with Marilyn and Travis and they were very communicative and sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Ellie had a romping time evidenced by all the photos Sarah sent! A very prompt pick up when I arrived. I’ve never done this before with my 7th month old puppy and I’m happy I did. Federal Way is a little far away for a regular drop off but I would certainly consider Sarah again!”
“So glad to have found Quinten after our former Rover caretaker moved overseas. He clearly loves dogs and it shows in his gentleness and patience towards them. Like many of her kind, our French Bulldog can have bursts of high energy. Some Rover caretakers who are less experienced can be overwhelmed with her quirks, but Quinten was not only unfazed but seems to appreciate each dog’s unique personality. He sent plenty of videos and pictures during a short day care. We look forward to our next stay with him.”
“Ivonne is such a warm and gentle dog mama to her own dog and those under her care. She understands the nuances of caring for a senior dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our senior dog. He came home calm and relaxed.”
“Cheri has watched our pup twice and both times he’s come home content and ready for a little shut eye - it must be the nice, long walk in the forest. :) … Thank you for taking care of our somewhat anxious, excitable pup and for the excellent communication. Looking forward to more stays!!”
“Jaime has a very kind personality and is very easy to work with. She is good with communication and sent me photo updates of my dog! Backpack looked like he was having a blast playing in the backyard! She was also flexible when I had a change in plans during the day and had to change my pickup time. Overall, it was a good experience, but most importantly, when I went to pick up Backpack, he was just as happy and healthy as when I left him. That's what really matters to me. Thanks for watching my pup!”
“Thank you so much, Ben and family! You guys are awesome! Gunner literally passed out when we got home. Haha! He had a lot of fun at your place. We'll bring him back for sure. So glad we found you guys :)”
“William was so great with my shih Tzu Giuseppe. G is very particular and set in his ways and William was flexible and accommodating and helped G feel right at home. Such a relief for me during a really busy time at work. Will definitely book with him again!”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hobart on Rover is $32.1 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 Hobart 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 WA 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 3,720 sitters in Hobart, 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.
