“Katie was amazing with communication and went above and beyond with her level of patience with my little guy. Daycare and boarding is new for my dog and she makes it easier for all of us to adjust.”
“Nathalie was amazing! She was so warm and kind and made my shy Frankie at ease. Great communication, and she took him on a walk which was super nice. Will definitely rebook with Nathalie if back in town!”
About: I am a natural at caring for and nurturing dogs which I have had since I was 3. Caring for them is a joy and a blessing. They will be pampered as if they were mine. I've taken care of puppies as well as elderly including those who need medication and special needs. Please check my availability because I have not mastered how to use the calendar I stay at home full time so there is no worry about separation anxiety or on time potty breaks. They also get plenty of exercise as needed as well as affection. I have 2 nearby dog parks, one within walking distance that I use. I have 2 yorkies that love other dogs and my home is theirs. They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!

About: I’ve taken a year long course at Liberty K-9 in Hawsville, KY, learning how to teach and instruct dogs. I love them. Dogs are interesting and intelligent creatures. And each has their own personality. Let me care for your dog the way I would care for my own. I am currently a stay at home mother of two school aged children. And I have copious amounts of availability. And I am very flexible and willing to work around schedules. We have a two story home with a fenced in back yard. Lots of room to run around and play. I also have big couches for lazy dogs and warm beds with kiddos who love dogs. We also have a guest room for dogs that prefer not sharing a bed with a kiddo. We have a dachshund for a playmate. We have kennels for average and large size dogs. And I have a pass for the bathing station at pet supplies plus for all the bathing needs.
About: Having owned 3 dogs and raising them from weeks old to taking in senior dogs so they have a place to live out their remaining days being loved & cared for I believe I am a great fit to host a doggie day care, my place offers convenience to our clients & love and attention to their fur babies I work from home and I’m not tied to a desk or computer so I have the time & availability to watch and take care of pets I do have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for them to run around and play, l also have a house they can roam around in, my pets are extremely trained & friendly so it is absolutely a pleasurable & safe environment for all fur babies
About: Farm grown! I have had closer friendships with more animals than people! I enjoy all types of dogs with all types of needs. I like to play fetch, go for runs/walks, rough and tumble, training, petting, beach and just about any activity a dog likes. Whether you have a pup that needs more exercise or one that just needs some love. I am a veteran, a forever student and a dad. I exercise outside daily regardless of the weather. Might as well bring a friend and make it fun! I am flexible and will provide the type of environment the client requests! I never privoke or push a pet outside of their comfort zone. I see them as children, and will protect them like my own.
About: I've loved animals all of my life and wish I could rescue every animal in need. Currently my little 9 y/o Yorkie, Ellie May is my whole world, not sure how I'd survive without her so I deeply understand the concern of leaving your babies in someone else's care! My daily schedule is very open and flexible & rates are negotiable. I'm willing to coordinate with you on your needs whether it be for weekdays, weekends and/or holidays. I will always be in tune with your pet's needs and wants and give lots of love and attention so your dog/s will always be safe & happy!
“Great doggy daycare. My two pups came home happy and tired from playing. Sitter’s dogs were friendly and played nicely with my dogs. Even got pics and videos!!! Will be using this sitter again!!!”
“Lynana and her family are so great! So attentive, fun, and communicative. She sent me photos of my dog during her daycare stay with them. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future again for daycare as well as boarding.”
About: Seasoned in dog care, I offer a blend of companionship and responsibility. From tailored walks to playtime, your canine companion's happiness and health are my top priorities. Using positive reinforcement techniques, I foster good behavior, ensuring a well-behaved and happy furry family member. I am a student at USI and have time in between classes to care for pets. During the week my course load varies giving me the opportunity to commit entire days or parts of my day to non academic activities. I have a fenced in yard and 3 playful dogs for your fur baby to play with. I care for my clients home as if it were mine and ensure timely potty breaks and walks for dogs with ample playtime. For cats I make sure they have a fresh litter box and clean water bowls. I strictly follow feeding instructions and dietary guidelines for the animals in my care to ensure the happiest and healthiest pet.
About: I love dogs more than people. I’ve always had a dog as a pet since I was young. You wouldn’t regret having me spend time with your animal. Your dog will feel welcomed and loved they will feel right at home. I love all types of dogs, big, small, old, young even puppies. Best way to contact me is through text message I always have my phone handy with me. If you need my number just ask. I’m available Monday through Friday. I can take last minute appointments if need be. I’m able to work with your schedule if you need anything just message me. I have a very friendly neighborhood, people drive slow just incase I make sure to take the dogs out back. I have one 3 year old goldendoodle and 2 year old Aussie doodle they are extra friendly able to keep you dog company. Plenty of dog toys. I have 2 kids when home from school they love to play with dogs. Any needs you need to met I can meet them for you.
“Debbie was amazing with Joey. I would definitely recommend her. I love all the pics she sent to show how his day is going. Joey seemed to really enjoy himself with her. I will definitely use her again.”
About: My fiance and I are lucky to be allowed to sleep in the home that belongs to our dogs by Gus the Goose, Bianca Jane, and our cat Cyrus Been. They live better lives than most humans and people often comment on how well behaved and socialized they are. With that said, they are not that “trained”. They snuggle in bed, lie on the couch and Gus barks at the Amazon man. I am willing to board, day sit and/or walk your furry creature(s). I am available most times and willing to work with your schedule. Obviously overnights will need planning but I can easily pop over for a potty break or for a walk most days. My prices can also be negotiable. I believe I covered most of this, but I’m pretty open. I will cater to your dog as you do. Mine are treated like members of the family, but still as animals. If you want me to treat your animal in any specific way, I will of course oblige. Most of my pics are of just my pets. I often forget to snap a photo while playing but I am more than willing to take pics of your creature all day long if you so desire. But left to my own devices I’ll send around 3 a day while boarding if requested. I have an open schedule. I’m very type A organized, so I generally know well In advance if something may impede my schedule. I can help out any hours of the day or night generally. I don’t have a fence, but I do have a long 40ft lead with nothing to get tangled on. My dog Gus doesn’t require a leash at home but I would never let your dog off leash. I keep a door closure system in place to keep dogs away from the litter box. Toys are out and about to be played with freely in my home. And I may just show up with a new toy or snack for your animal.
“Marlene was fabulous. She is very close, yet tucked away from Holiday World, so we were able to stay in the park all day long. She sent so many great photos and updated us often, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to have fun without worrying about our babies. Our dog that is iron clad at home was acting out (and embarrassed me to death), but Marlene took him in stride and made his day fabulous despite the initial hiccup. Our dogs are elderly and we are so grateful for her and her family welcoming our pups for the day 🥰”

Nathalie is such a sweetheart and was so lovely with our Rae Lee - they look to each other instantly. Nathalie was very attentive and took care of all of Rae Lee’s needs.

We know Rae Lee was in good hands with you so we are looking forward for you two to spend time together again soon!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Owensboro on Rover is $19.26 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Owensboro 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 KY 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 45 sitters in Owensboro, 88% 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.
