“Victoria is very welcoming. My great Dane was very well taken care of. My dog has a monitor that let me know his level of activity, rest, and strain. His levels were a perfect balance of activity and naps. He loved her family and they allowed Hades to play with her kid. The most important goal for me is that he has human company at all times because of his separation anxiety. Victoria provided the emotional support my baby needed in the cozy environment of a home as he is used to. Thank you Viktoria. He will, for sure, be back with your family.”
“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.”
“I love taking Murphy to Kelly’s house! She and her kids give him so much love and attention. He gets excited when we pull up to their house. I know he is well taken care of when he is there.”
“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 had dogs for over 20 years but began fostering dogs about 6 years ago. I have fostered with the NSPCA and other organizations both here in Las Vegas and in California. I love animals and always want to make sure that they are cared for. I have nursed dogs back to health from many different situations. I am kind and outgoing and have a passion for taking care of animals and making sure all their needs are met. I am used to giving medications to animals and have dealt with dogs that have seizures and dogs with severe allergies as well. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is open to being available whenever needed and I'm more than happy to help at any time. I have a completely fenced in yard as well as a fenced in pool with lock so no dogs get in to that area. I have crates for dogs as well but I am home mostly always and I am always available to let them out and be with them while they are in my home.
“Sandra is the most caring dog sitter I have ever met! She took our dog, Sasha, on a 3-mile walk. She also took the time to play games with her and gave her lots of attention. Sandra understands a lot about dog behaviors and recommended some great puzzles for dogs. We booked Sandra at the last minute, and she was so accommodating. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”

I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I have a one-year-old Shih Tzu, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine. We start our mornings with an early walk around5 to 6 a.m., enjoy a short midday walk during the summer heat, and take a long, relaxing evening walk. When the weather is cooler, I enjoy longer daytime walks as well. Your pet will receive loving care, regular exercise, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away. Dogs in my care enjoy a calm, clean, and loving home with plenty of attention, long walks, and fun outdoor play. I work from home, so dogs are always supervised and never left alone while in my care.

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.

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.

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.
