“Joycelyn was fantastic. She had multiple dogs and went above and beyond with making our little pooch feel calm. Our doggie is an only dog and gets a bit hesitant around bigger dogs (even though they were really nice) and Joycelyn cuddled with her and took her into another room just to make her feel better. Awesome sitter and a great person all around.”
“So happy I found awesome people to watch my dog for a couple days while we were in Vegas. The hotel my husband and I stayed at was dog friendly so we dropped Nairobi off and picked up her up for doggy daycare. She had a lot of fun playing with their dogs and she was tired and slept well at the hotel. I would definitely recommend Heather & Michael to watch your dog. I felt like my dog was safe and taken care of while we were enjoying Vegas.”
“Victoria was amazing! She accommodated my 3 dogs with short notice for daycare and was happy to let them hang out with her and her family for the day. She sent great photos, one of which being her daughter playing with my cane corso who LOVES kids but never gets to be around any! Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Maddison was incredibly accommodating and took both of my dogs on very short notice, I submitted my request only 12 hours in advance! My dogs had a great time with Maddison and her family, and I could tell they were well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Chase was great! Took Leo for a walk, fed him and looks like our highly anxious dog felt like home with him. We greatly appreciate the care Chase took of Leo!”
About: I've owned dogs my entire life and currently have an 8 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix. I've gone through extensive training over the last 8 years that I've used to help friends and family with their dogs, as well as providing dog sitting care. I absolutely adore dogs and have worked with many different types of breeds of all sizes. I'm an active outside person with access to many parks and walking paths within 2 miles of my house. Im a stay at home dog mom so I have the ability to provide around the clock care for your fur babies. I have access to many beautiful outdoor areas and make full use of them! My backyard is big enough for medium/small sized dogs to run and play, but long walks and lots of playtime are also an everyday activity here. I have a fenced in yard as well as cameras that alert to motion around the property. I also have crates and gates to section off areas of the house should your pet need more safe place reassurance. For safety, and to make sure accidents never happen, the cats have their own space and never have access to the same spaces your fur baby is in. My pets are highly socialized and have been around many different animals/pets and are always well behaved.
“We are total helicopter dog parents and Dennis is terrific with our doggie. He keeps us posted about her activities and sends photos. He’s a top-notch dog sitter in every way.”
About: My animal experience goes back to when I was younger get having cats, snakes and birds. To then showing dogs and training puppies basic commands. To now having a turtle and fish. I drop in early mornings, late after noons and evenings. I can walk dogs early in the mornings or late evenings. Which ever works best. I have a brick wall for a back yard. I can send pictures of what your fur babies eats and at what times. I clean up and if need be, can bathe your fur baby.
About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience, I offer loving, dependable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m a proud pet parent to a 5 year old border collie and 14 year old Mini Pinscher, so I understand the patience and attentiveness senior pets require. I’ve also worked at my family’s rescue shelter in Mexico, where I helped raise puppies and care for older dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Caring for animals has always been one of my passions, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have completely open schedule,allowing me to provide flexible and attentive in-home boarding for pets. Since I focus exclusively on boarding in my home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and extended stays, and I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel at home. Pets in my home receive attentive, loving care in a calm and safe environment. I prioritize comfort, routine, playtime, and supervision, ensuring every furry guest feels secure, happy, and at home.
“Kerri and her family are beyond amazing with our dog Louise. She loves going there and we are so grateful to have found such an awesome home for her to go to when we are travelling.”
“Chloe took excellent care of our pup, he was happy and calm. She clearly loves taking care of animals and sent us plenty of pictures with our dog throughout the day. Could not recommend more.”
“Excellent communication and very friendly. Easy to work with and answered all questions I had. Maverick is great with other dogs as well. Highly recommended AJ if you need a responsive and attentive sitter.”
“I am very satisfied with the Daycare sitting services provided by Nina. She is very friendly, communicative, and shows her true passion for loving animals. My dog had such a fun time with her. I will definitely be back for sitting services again. Excellent job Nina, and keep up the amazing work of caring after our furry friends! :)”

About: Hi, I’m Vivian. As a Shiba Inu owner, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. For first-time boarding dogs, please schedule a meet & greet first. Your dog will also need to stay with me for a 1-hour trial without the owner present so I can properly observe their behavior and temperament. Dogs with the following behaviors will not be accepted: • Severe separation anxiety • Excessive barking • Destructive behavior • Fence jumping • Aggression toward people or other dogs All dogs must be up to date on: • Rabies • DAP / DHPP / DA2PP • Bordetella During boarding, dogs stay indoors or in the fully fenced backyard only. No outdoor walks or off-property outings. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as a dog parent. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day to ensure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. My home provides a safe and clean environment with a fully fenced backyard and a dedicated boarding room for guest dogs. I carefully supervise interactions, maintain regular cleaning and sanitization, and always prioritize each dog’s comfort and safety.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Nelson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Nelson. 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 Nelson 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 NV 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 299 sitters in Nelson, 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.
