“I couldn’t have been any happier! Ranee & her Mom are just the best! They took care of my 2 little dogs like they were their own. I was kept up to date with photos. When I came to pick them up you could tell they had had a good time. Ranee was very attentive & watchful & I was given details of how they behaved, played, potty, etc. I will definitely be using Ranee in the future!!!”

About: I have a standard poodle who is about eight years old. He is my little ride or die and has made me realize that dogs are not just dogs. They’re like little miniature people with their own personalities. I am currently doing this full-time so I have a flexible schedule to be home with the dogs. I do have a son that I take to school. That is a teenager and he loves his animals too. I have full air ventilation system, where it absorbs any type of dandruff or debris. I also offer hardwood floors in case our pets have a mess and soft and cushy, blankets and cuddles.
“Madi did an excellent job providing care for Roxy. She gives alot updates and a lot of photos and I can tell that Roxy had a lot of fun with her and her family.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing! Ivy was so well taken care of and loved. Angie was very attentive and loving with Ivy, and everyday I picked Ivy up from daycare, she was happy and worn out! Thank you so much, I hope to continue to use you!”
“Molly was awesome! She took care of our boy Enzo. Super responsive and Enzo really enjoyed his time, he came home happy and relaxed. Couldn't ask for much more in a sitter. 100 percent will be using her again.”
“Communication is great with Kristen. First time I dropped Juno off she sent a couple messages and photos to let me know how Juno was doing, you can tell Kristen is a real animal lover. Also, very accommodating. I wasn’t sure how Juno would get along with her cat, so before before Juno’s first stay I was able to stop by her house for a “test run”. They did great together.”
“Upon arriving the neighborhood was so nice.,, Then meeting her she was so welcoming her house was clean and smelled fresh you wouldn’t know she had dogs unless she told you: I am so happy my baby enjoyed her stay and she will return. ❤️”
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“Thank you Christian for taking very good care of Chuck! The location of your place was very convenient. Thank you also for sending pictures of Chuck during his stay and for the prompt response whenever I send messages. I will definitely send Chuck there again...hopefully soon.”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 I’ve been caring for animals my entire life: dogs, cats, and just about everything in between. 🐶🐱 With 15+ years of experience and three friendly dogs of my own, I know how to make pets feel at home. Whether your furry friend needs walks, snuggles, or a safe place to stay, they’ll enjoy a big fenced yard, a comfy living space, and lots of attention. As a stay-at-home dad, I’ve got time and heart to give every pet the care they deserve. Message me for a custom rate. 💸 Im a full time stay at home dad so my days consist of taking care of my little one, loving on my 3 fur babies, and just enjoying every day the best I can. I have a fenced in back yard with a doggy door that leads into a room for my pups. My two German Shepard’s would love some friends to run around outside with.
“Thomas has been amazing with my pup! I love the attention he provides my dog while I am away at work. Provides updates throughout the day which is always reassuring. My dog is truly happy coming to his door for drop off's! He even takes him for walks which is a huge plus as my dog LOVES them! I would definitely recommend giving Thomas a try. He's great!”
“Gail was very accommodating and little 12-lb Sheldon had a great time, no problem getting along with her great Dane. Highly recommend! If she noticed we were in the wrong time zone she never mentioned it, all my stated times were an hour off! (Sorry Gail!)”
About: My name is Angela. I worked as a kennel/doggie daycare manager at an Animal Clinic. I’m very familiar with administrating medicine to your fur babies if needed and being aware of signs of distress(stroke, dehydration Anything out of the usual) I already do some house/pet sitting for some vet clients now but would love to meet more people through this app. I would love to give your fur babies lots of love during my stay to offer them a stress free environment until you return home. Boarding is not for every dog or cat, and that’s why I want to provide a loving, caring and stress free home environment for them. I’m here to help! My life revolves around fur babies. They can sleep all day, play or just relax. Your babies will fit into my life no matter how they choose to spend their day. We treat every fur baby as our own. We have four dogs so they will have built in playmates. Cuddles on the couch is a must❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Natural Steps
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Natural Steps. 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 Natural Steps 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 AR 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 136 sitters in Natural Steps, 91% 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.
