“Roseanna was super sweet, very welcoming and, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her care for dogs. She asked my likes and dislikes when I arrived and explained the way she did things. When I visit PA again I will definitely ask her to watch my pup again!”
“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.”
“Mariia was terrific with my adorable Maltipoo puppy Gino. She was very kind and professional when we first met. Ensured I was comfortable with the space. Gino seems totally chill and happy since I picked him up from daycare. Great experience.”
“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.”
“We are so grateful to Dan & Kate, best pet sitters ever! Our dog Bessie gets crazy happy the second she knows we are going to their house, love that we can totally relax and not worry while she is there ♥️♥️♥️”
“Veronica was amazing with my dog She kept me updated the entire time and sent lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treated him like her own. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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”
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
“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!”
“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!”
“Lainey and her husband were so great to my dog! They took her on a walk and sent me pictures, and they had her for less than a day!! My dog came back very happy and tired from a great day with them!”
About: I’ve never not had a dog to care for. I love them deeply and enjoy providing them attention while their owners are away. I know that’s a stressful time for them and I want to help make it less stressful for all parties. I am a teacher and home all summer so there will rarely be a time when your pet is alone. My schedule is pretty flexible but when I’m caring for a dog I ensure that is my number one priority. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for the dogs. I do have a two wonderful, gentle Cavalier King Charles’ who love spending time with other dogs but also enjoy sleeping all day.
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!
About: Hi there! I have 4 years of experience caring for my own sweet Maltipoo, plus two senior Chihuahuas (13 and 9 years old) in my family. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and temperaments—whether they’re energetic or need extra patience. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family💛. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities! I work full-time on Rover, so I’m very responsive and usually reply within 5 minutes❣️. I’m available every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.
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.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ivyland
Katharine was awesome! She was great with communication and kept my pups safe and happy while I had to work. They even had play time with her kids. I was comforted to know she had them in a fenced in yard and in her home. She provided updates during the day and photos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my pups!
Cindy was so great! Our Newfie is a loving dog but has her quirks. Cindy took all of them into consideration and did a great job watching her. She sent us an update halfway through and Stella seemed happy to be there with her! Cindy is very kind and you can tell she cares. We will be using her again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ivyland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,547 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 2,547 sitters in Ivyland, 87% 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.
