“Dog owners! If you want a peace of mind and a wonderful, loving experience for your dog, Cheryl is the best person for your baby. Cheryl sent pictures all day, kept me abreast of Tootie's day, and provided delicious treats. Tootie was happy when I picked him up. That is important! Thank you Cheryl for loving my baby!”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I have a love for big and small! Ever since I was 11 years old and received my very own fur baby our house has never been empty of one. We treat our animals like they are family and I will care for yours the same way! I an a SAHM so I am mostly free! Just have to pick up our son from school around 2:30 in the afternoons but other than that I am available! We just recently lost our 9 year old German shepherd so I know and am comfortable with senior dogs! We now just have our Siberian husky Myia who is our old lady lol I will take care of your animals with love as I do with mine and also play with them!
“Sydney is great! So thankful to have found someone I can trust and that Romeo loves to spend the day with! Great experience! Sends me updates and photos through out the day as well.”
“Elaine was incredible! She accommodated us on very short notice, even on the Friday of the long weekend. Everything about our experience with her, was perfect. She sent us pictures & updates too. We are very grateful for all of her help. I would 1000% recommend her services! Thank you so much. 😊🌞”
About: I understand the need for wanting your furbaby to have care while you are away during the day. I want to help provide that service for others who love their dogs as much as I love mine. I have 2 dogs of my own and they are my babies, dogs bring such a joy to our lives and deserve to be treated well. Professionally I work in the medical field with humans, but love all different types of animals. I started dog sitting over 20 years ago when I was a teen in high school and have had a passion for dogs all my life. I look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in me providing care for your dog. Thank you! I am currently not working. I spend the majority of my days at home with my husband & 3 golden doodles. Most of my plans revolve around my dogs! I will be active & hands on with the pets I care for. They would not be left unattended. Whatever the preference for that pet- cuddles, pets, outdoor play time- I will be there & involved.
“Thank you for taking such great care of My Bella. Michael was extremely friendly and welcoming to both me and miss Bella. Bella was so relaxed with Michael an his dog Harper. His home was very dog friendly with a beautiful fenced backyard and a doggy door. I’d highly recommend him and have already booked another week. ??”
“Lindsey is amazing! She took great care of Kai and texted us how things were going while we were gone. She also took some pics throughout her day there! So sweet and kind!!!!”
“Joy was able to accommodate my last minute request, and took excellent care of my pup Indy! Joy has a nice spacious, fenced in yard for dogs, and is very accommodating with any special requests or instructions. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a dog sitter in Pensacola area, I definitely will be going back in the future.”
About: Hello ! I just moved here from Virginia, and I want to tell you a bit about me. I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Always playing/taking on walks, feeding them, and giving cuddles. As a dog mom of two K understand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your babies while you’re away. I regularly dog sat for a yellow lab and shih tzu in VA, and since moving here I adopted a second dog and i have been walking/doing drop in visits for other dogs near me, as seen in pictures ! I am a stay at home wife, so I’m available pretty much anytime. I do like getting my own pup at least an hour of play before leaving but that will be no issue I make sure I play with the pups very frequently, especially when I first get there and before I leave. I make sure to take them on 1-2 40 minute walks depending on how long i’m watching them for. One walk after they eat and one walk later on. I can brush them, feed them, play in the yard with them, etc.
“Taylor was amazing. We’ve never used doggy daycare and quite honestly was pretty nervous, but Taylor made your minds settle she’s super professional and very trust worthy. We will definitely be using her again. And gained a friendship in the process.”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would. Erica was AMAZING!!!! Highly recommend and would definitely use again!!! Thank you Erica for taking great care of our Pudding! He was sooo happy when I picked him up! He was literally smiling in the pictures she sent!! Happiest I’ve ever seen him at a sitter!! Best sitter I’ve ever used!!! God bless you Erica!!!”
“Kim was amazing!!! Truly recommend using her as your preferred sitter! She was so kind and accommodating. Puddin loved having other fur pals to play with during the day and mommy loved receiving photos throughout the day! If I’m ever in the area again, I will for sure contact Kim and Kerry again!”
About: Hi friends! Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. I'm here because I would LOVE to get some steps in with your fur baby! Or just chill and give them back scratches if thats their preference. I love all dogs, no matter their age or breed. Volunteering at shelters has been a hobby of mine since childhood. Ive been a dog walker for Wag! for years but am switching to Rover because the Wag app is terribly glitchy. My most recent adventure has been fostering shelter pups - we currently had a foster fail situation which is how I got my current fur child, Indie. I've always adopted shelter dogs; to include labs, pitbulls, mixed breeds, and now a goldendoodle! I joined Rover in hopes of doing it more because I enjoy helping busy people take care of their precious pups. I'm a FOND believer of spoiling your pets. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my knowledge or experience. :) I'm currently in between jobs and have LOTS of time to love on your precious fur baby. Let's schedule some time together and make some memories! I'm in a 2 bedroom apartment with a friendly goldendoodle to keep your pup company. Our days consist of many walks, and going to the dog park. We have one in the complex but I also enjoy going to the city parks. I am happy to let your baby sleep in the bed with me or I can crate them. Whatever your preference is, let's talk about it.
“Kenmarie was great with our dog and very flexible with our timing as we had to switch from daycare to boarding with short notice. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog did not mind the separation because she provided such great care.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Josephine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 266 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Josephine. 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 Josephine 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 AL 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 266 sitters in Josephine, 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.
