About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
“Keith and Wendy were fantastic. They took great care of our anxious dog. They took him for several walks, gave us regular updates and pictures and did everything they could to keep him comfortable.”
“Top notch care!! Very attentive to details. Work well with my dog to allow him time to become comfortable in a new place with him and his dogs. Sent lots of pictures and even cleaned my dogs tear stains. AA++”
About: After a few years of house and dog sitting, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and feel comfortable with any breed or personality. I’m reliable, responsible, and love spending time with animals. I live in an apartment right on Lake Road in Avon Lake, in a very walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of great areas nearby for walks! 🐾 I’m available for pet care throughout the week. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention before and after work. I’m also available on weekends. I absolutely love animals and would be happy to provide your pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away! I’m dependable, attentive, and would treat your pets like my own. 🐶💕 I live in an apartment in Avon Lake, right across from parks—ideal for walks, playtime, or relaxing outside. I’m active and love getting pups fresh air and exercise. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. At my place, dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time and a calm, cozy environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routines and house rules closely. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
About: Hi! I’m a Registered Nurse, a dog lover, and the proud dog mom to Mr. Puppers, I work at home full time, and take frequent walks. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m able to plan my day around frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m very structured and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. Caring for my own dog, Mr. Puppers, is already part of my daily schedule. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. In my home, pets get frequent potty breaks, walks, meals on schedule, playtime, and lots of attention since I work from home.
“we were so glad to be able to leave our dogs with lindsey and highly recommend! her and her son were so friendly and i felt great trusting them with our dogs. clear communication, and incredibly smooth pickup, she packed everything we brought and had the dogs leashed and ready!! treated our dog's needs as no big deal, and just seemed very competent/ capable/ trustworthy-- i felt confident she read/ listened to all our info and that she would be able to meet their needs and make good decisions if something unexpected arose. dogs seemed happy and calm (and maybe a little reluctant to leave) when we picked them up. thanks for making a stressful day easier for us and our pets!!”

About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.
“Thor had a great time with Swetha and her family. He must have played a lot with their dog Tucker, because he was wiped out once he got home. I was very happy Swetha sent me updates and pictures of Thor. Thor will definitely be going back!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Lorain is $27 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $57 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 of October 2026, there are 410 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lorain. 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 Lorain 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 410 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.
