“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my greyhound, Buttercup. There was excellent communication before and during the visit and as someone like myself that hasn’t taken a dog for daycare, I was so happy how easy it was with your service. My dog loved Nicole and I would highly recommend her.”
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”

About: I provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for dogs in a clean, safe, and calm home environment. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs—from high-energy breeds to more relaxed companions. I previously helped manage a "Star-Sitter boarding setup on another account, where I was directly involved in daily care, feeding routines, exercise, and maintaining a stress-free environment for every dog. Now that I’m continuing on my own, I’m committed to delivering that same level of quality care and consistency. What sets me apart is attention to detail and reliability. I understand how important routine, supervision, and communication are when it comes to your pet. I specialize in elderly pets and puppies as there have been many neighbors that need medication on a regular basis. I will certainly provide your family member with the proper schedule for their needs. Dogs in my care receive: Consistent feeding and exercise schedules Clean, well-maintained spaces with private areas if requested Close supervision and safe handling Photo updates so you know your dog is doing well I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and respect for their individual needs. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and straightforward who will take care of your dog the right way, I’d be a great fit. Conveniently located off E. National Rd. (Highway 40) Dogs in my care follow a structured but relaxed routine that keeps them comfortable, active, and stress-free. Mornings start with potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule. After that, I provide light exercise or playtime depending on their energy level—whether that’s a walk, supervised yard time, or indoor engagement. Throughout the day, I’m home and available, so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. I keep a close eye on behavior, comfort, and safety while giving them attention, interaction, and rest as needed. I adjust the pace of the day to fit each dog—some need more activity, others prefer a calm environment. Midday includes additional potty breaks, playtime, or relaxation depending on the dog’s routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, water, and any special instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and those that require medication, and I’m comfortable following specific care routines to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable. Evenings include another round of activity or relaxation, feeding if needed, and a calm wind-down before bedtime. Overall, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment where your dog feels comfortable and well cared for—just like they would at home. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs are rarely left alone and always supervised. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid back, I adjust the environment to fit their needs. I also have a well-behaved mini Australian Shepherd who acts as a friendly companion for social dogs. He’s great at reading other dogs and helps create a balanced, comfortable environment—but I always introduce dogs properly and keep safety as the top priority; we will introduce them during the meet & great prior to the stay. For dogs that need extra care, I have experience with senior pets and administering medication, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable.

“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“Our dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay. Great updates throughout the day with some wonderful photos (Vainy has a good eye for photography). We appreciated the flexibility in changing the pickup and dropoff times as our plans for the day kept on changing.”
“Amanda was great with our dog, Chase! She took the time to get to know him and was very thoughtful in how she introduced him to other dogs. Her style and knowledge of dogs is just awesome. I’m not sure Chase really wanted to come home after his doggy daycare. We will definitely be back!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Mechanicsburg 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.
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, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "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.
