“Kelly was very welcoming and sincere, allowing us to come into her home and show us around so we could see where our dog would be spending the day. She sent us pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely be using her services again.”
“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: As lifelong animal lovers, pets have always been family to us. Recently, we had to help our beloved 14-year-old Shih Tzu, Precious cross the rainbow bridge. While she will forever be in our hearts, we still have so much love, care, and attention to give. 🌈🩷✨ We would be honored to share that love with your fur babies. We have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and we treat every pet as if they were our own. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine. Since I work from home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide walks, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, medications, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. We treat every pet like family and are happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions. We live in a townhouse across from a dog park with a private patio for outdoor time, and because we don’t have children or other pets, your pet will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, love, and care. We’re flexible and committed to meeting each pet’s unique needs. 🐾❤️
“Cami did a wonderful job with Junie. They had a great time together while my wife and I enjoyed a night out. We'd be very comfortable with Cami watching Junie again [and plan on asking her to do so the next time we have plans].”

“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 cannot say enough good things about Scott. This has been wonderful. We have 3 dogs one of which is a puppy. Scott has been watching him while we go to work. He is extremely flexible and accommodating. I did not find anyone comparable in the area who was as flexible with the drop off and pick up times. This has made it very easy for us . Scott is very reliable and I have had success with last minute booking as well. I would highly recommend him.”

About: I've had pets all my life, but in the last 11 years have dedicated myself to caring for my three pups. As a pet parent it has been frustrating to find someone reliable, affordable, and caring to take care of my pups, so I decided to fill that niche. I provide boarding and doggie day care in a home with a fenced back yard. I am a registered nurse by training and I am very comfortable providing medication administration including injections. I am home full time and I am able to provide part/full daycare services. I can also provide overnight boarding. My schedule is flexible and can start services as early as 6am each day for day care services. I have three small pups that are very friendly toward other dogs. I will treat your dog with care, attention, and love. I follow the golden rule of treating your special pups the way I would like my pups treated.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Nelson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 295 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 295 sitters in Nelson, 89% 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.
