“Cynthia provides a great area for our dogs to play outside and with other pups. Everytime we pick them up, they are super sleepy from having a high energy day. We definitely recommend her daycare and boarding services for your dogs!”
“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”
“My five-month-old puppy still has a bit of separation anxiety, but he seemed to enjoy his day with Aish and other dogs. before the day we arranged a meet and greet to get a sense of the space - Aish has a large, fenced back yard that the dogs play in, with plenty room to roam. I received photos throughout the day, we communicated regularly via text, and on pick-up Smoke wanted to stay. I would use Aish again should the need arise.”
“Chelsie was amazing with our dog, Frankie! He’s nervous with new people, so she let him tag along behind her and nap nearby, and her kids were very soothing and gentle with him. She also sent 3 photos throughout the day. I would absolutely book her again! Thanks, Chelsie!”
“Buddy loved his day with Leanna and her family. He was in good spirits when I came to collect him, and loved the extra attention throughout the day. Leanna is a great communicator, and I could tell Buddy felt super comfortable with her and her home. Thanks so much again for being so kind!”
“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”
“Carrie and Mark are so amazing with Ollie! He loves going to their house for daycare, in fact he didn’t want to leave tonight! They love having him and take such good care of our boy.”
“Lori was awesome! Will definitely plan on using her again. The location was perfect. And she was very warm and inviting 🤗 was super nice that she sent me a picture and let me know how Buzz was doing! 😍”
“Marill was just wonderful! She's clearly a dog-lover, and Ollie had a fabulous time at her house! He played all day with her other dogs (as is evidenced by the many great photos and videos she sent me throughout the day), and came home last night happy and exhausted. He slept 15 hours straight! The idea was for him to get some energy out, and let me get some work done - so mission accomplished! I'll definitely rebook with Marill.”
“First time at doggy daycare for our 7 yr old Chi mix - both he and our puppy were well cared for and arrived home this evening tired snd happy. Knowing they were safe made our time away worry free! Thank you Stacy for a great experience.”
“Second time to leave our pup with Elizabeth and I could tell by how excited he was when we came back that he enjoyed his last stay. Elizabeth was also very kind to accommodate Tubby overnight as a last minute request due to a family emergency.”
About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who LOVES people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.
“This was Georgi's first stay and she seemed to really like it! Whitney was great at sending pictures through out the day and keeping me up to date! Georgi came back calm which makes me feel comfortable to know in the future she will be okay to stay with Whitney. Thanks again for watching her!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid. Even though my parents wouldnt let us get one, I have had them in my adult years. Most recently a cavapoo. I'm the type to get down on their level and be their best friend through playing or snuggling. I work from home full time and currently live by myself. I have no pets at the moment so let me watch yours! If I have to drive my kids (dont live with me) anywhere, I could either crate your dog or bring them with on a car ride. My kids love dogs just as much as I do. I dont have any pets with me, but I've had one dog that was crate trained and another that had the run of the house when the family was gone. I'll make whatever works for your dog work for me.
“I sent my dogs for a fun daycare day and they came back so tired! I know they had a wonderful day. Kelsey was super sweet and informative, also sending pupdates throughout the day.”
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”
About: We are a couple that just recently got married and moved into our first house! We are approved fosters for The Bond Between and have had the privilege of helping 5 dogs so far find their forever homes! We have no pets of our own, however we both grew up with dogs in the home and frequently dog sit for our families! Jeremy works from home full time, so we are able to do walks and potty breaks frequently. We are rarely out of the house for longer than a few hours. We are able to provide a comfy and welcoming environment for any dog and it ends up being the highlight of our day too! We look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am a teacher who works a normal school year schedule, with summers fully off. Jeremy works from home full time year round. We are available for let outs at lunch, weekend sleepovers and have very flexible schedules! We have a fully fenced backyard. When taking a potty break or going on a walk, your dog will stay safely leashed at all times. We have no other pets in the household, so all of our attention will stay focused on your animals! We would follow owner directions on crating when leaving and at night.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Nerstrand
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 274 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Nerstrand. 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 Nerstrand 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 MN 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 274 sitters in Nerstrand, 94% 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.
