About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also a foster mom to children, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how important it is to make others feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time and play. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or a little shy and needs time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while they’re in my care. 🐾💕 I’m a stay-at-home mom with three children who attend daycare and school, which allows me to be home throughout much of the day to care for pets. I have an English Mastiff and a special kitty of my own, and I love having animals around. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m happy to open my home to families who need someone they can trust while they’re away. Your pets will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care, with regular opportunities to enjoy our fully fenced backyard to safely run, play, and get some fresh air. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re with us. 🐶🏡💕 I provide care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. Since I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. In my home, dogs have access to our fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside, run, and play, along with plenty of love and companionship inside. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure they’re safe and settling in well. 🐾❤️

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of class is dedicated to providing attentive and dependable care for your pet. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I’m also currently offering doggy daycare in my home! ❣️ During a typical daycare visit, your dog can enjoy: -Several walks around the neighborhood -Nature walks -Supervised playtime and enrichment -Playdates with my dog, Journei, when appropriate -Plenty of affection, attention, time to relax and lots of treats (with owner’s permission, of course!❣️) Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Before booking daycare, I recommend a meet-and-greet to ensure our dogs are comfortable together. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!

About: When I was in grad school, I worked at an animal shelter and learned so much about taking care of animals. I've had pets my entire life: dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pig, hamsters, and fish, and I've dealt with it all: from babies to seniors, medications and ointments, special diets, and a range of picky habits and funny quirks...I absolutely adore animals! I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I definitely have time during my day/evening to help you take care of your pet, and it would be a really fun thing for me to do with my time. I have been a public school teacher for a couple decades, passing all background checks with flying colors. I realize that your pet and home are precious to you, and I will treat them with care, respect, and attention to detail. I will care for your pet by following your instructions precisely and will keep you updated with messages and pictures.

About: I've owned and loved dogs all my life. I hate to leave my dogs at a kennel and think home dog sitting is a much better option. My goal is to make sure dogs don't feel abandoned when left temporarily, but rather give them the experience of a joyful vacation with "Grandpa Ron". I've almost never found a dog who didn't like me and have never found one I didn't like. For the safety and comfort of your pets, I accept boarding dogs from only one household at a time. Whether you have one dog or several, your pets will receive my individual attention without being mixed with unfamiliar dogs from other families. I believe this provides a calmer, safer, and more comfortable environment for the dogs in my care. I'm a widow, retired and living alone. I have plenty of time to devote to dogs who are left in my care. I schedule my own travel and outside activities so they are not at the same time when I am available for pet sitting. I limit the number of dogs I watch so that I can give full attention to each one. I have a large back yard, fully fenced, with plenty of squirrels for your furry friend to chase. I also give your dog full run of my house and he is allowed on my furniture and beds. I try to make myself available on holidays and popular travel times. If requested I offer pickup and delivery of your pet from your home.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Independence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Independence is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $62 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Independence. 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 Independence 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.

As of October 2026, there are 617 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of OH. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 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 617 sitters in Independence, 90% 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.
