“What an operation she's got! She had meatball for about 6 hours and WORE. HER. OUT!!!! I can only imaging how much she played and how great a time she had. Meatball and I have more than a little separation anxiety for one another, so I don't like leaving her with just anyone. I will happily run back to Roseanna. Thank you, Roseanna. You made a terrible day, tolerable.”
“Thank you for taking care of our dog! She was happy to visit! We were glad to receive the pictures of her playing and got frequent update on how she was doing. Will be in touch for future stays.”
“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!”
“We are moving permanently to the other side of the country this week and are super sad that Jeffrey will no longer be our dog sitter. He has been amazing for daycare and boarding, and you and your pet(s) will be extremely happy with Jeffrey.”
“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”
“Kate was amazing with my pup, Walnut. She sent consistent photos and even a video. By the time I picked him up, he was exhausted and made a bunch of friends. Absolutely will be using Kate again!”
“Kate and her family were incredible! They opened up their home to my two high energy dogs last minute before the holidays and were so accommodating to our early schedule. The dogs had a blast and were exhausted after I picked them up :) Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend!”
“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: 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
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life starting from when I first started begging my mom for one! I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. Your pet's happiness is the most important thing for me. I will do whatever I can to make sure they have the best day! Also a huge bonus for your pet, I am an organic pet treat baker~! Goodies will always be shared (if allowed.) I am a student with a flexible schedule, so I study mostly at home. During my time at home I normally try to go on a few walks a day which would be great accompanied by a pet! I live in a very spacious two bedroom apartment. I do not personally have a yard but I love to spend time with dogs in the fenced in dog park in my apartment complex. my apartment is always dog proof and cat proof.
“Angela, Michael, and their kids were amazing! I had reached out about them watching my dog on Thanksgiving last minute due to last minute plans, and they were lifesavers. They were incredibly flexible, and watched her from the early morning until late night. They sent lots of pictures and updates and my dog seemed to settle in really well and enjoyed herself. They also were really responsive and I never had to wait long for a message or response. She can be a nervous dog but Angela and Michael made sure she felt comfortable and I know that she was in good hands. Overall, a really trustworthy family to watch your dog - will be booking them again if needed and will be recommending them to my friends. Thanks guys!”
About: I’ve personally been a dog owner my whole life. I’ve rescued and volunteered at pet shelters in high school. Also dog sitting, has been one of my very first jobs and passions. I genuine love all dogs and all animals. I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is relatively free. I would love to fill it with my passion for animal care. I walk dogs in parks as well as in my apartment complex. Also I have a very dog friendly home. And I am in process of purchasing a hone where I will have a fence for dogs.
“Gabriela is the best! She went over and beyond to make my son feel comfortable while he enjoyed his stay. Thank you so much for taking care my lil man. I will definitely be rebooking in the near future!”
“I feel super comfortable leaving Gordon with Melissa and Dan. I know he's in good hands as I can tell they are animal lovers, 100%. Thank you so much for inviting my pup into your home <3”
“Michael was a great pet sitter. Kept me informed about Pawly with pictures and updates. Pawly came home ready for bed as he had fun running around in the back yard with the other dogs.”
About: I grew up with two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Bichon Frise). They were the sweetest boys to ever exist!! I do not currently have any pets because I don’t think I could handle the loss. But, I have been pet sitting other people’s pets for over 5 years outside of rover. I have pet sit both cats and dogs :) I’m currently working full time remotely. So I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I do travel for work so there may be some weeks that I will not be available but that will all be noted on my calendar. I have a fenced in yard. Pets in our house are allowed inside and on furniture. If you request it I will crate your dog. I have a little sister who is 10 and she loves animals just as much as I do and respects their space but I do require all pets I take care of to be kid friendly.
“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”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and raised my children with pets. We have a huge yard for dogs to run and play in and lots of dog toys! I have very flexible schedule to fit your needs and can work on short notice. I am currently working 3 days a week from home and home most weekends and holidays to play and care for your pet as well as have a very flexible schedule to fit your needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ivyland
We had a wonderful experience with Kate this weekend. She made sure Benny was comfortable and took very good care of him. She understood his needs as a puppy and gave him attention. She has a beautiful backyard and that helped as well. We would definitely leave Benny in her care whenever we need and when Kate is available. Thank you so much Kate!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ivyland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,476 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ivyland. 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 Ivyland 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 2,476 sitters in Ivyland, 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.
