“Thank you to Rebecca for taking such wonderful care of our puppy princess, Charli. It was so good to know that she was getting the same attention that she would get with us. We would definitely have Rebecca puppy sit again.”
“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie! Nina clearly felt comfortable and happy the entire time. She loved playing in the yard and relaxing with naps on the sofa, which shows how at home she felt. Thank you so much for taking care of her with so much love and attention—we truly appreciate it and would absolutely recommend your services!”
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“Dustin’s service is great for someone who’s already doing daycare, or even in somebody else’s home, what he offers is so much more and better. Other places we tried were good and the people were sweet, but our pup just wasn’t getting the quality outdoor time and exercise. Our boy, Laszlo, would get stressed sometimes too with these other dogs at a crowded daycare. Dustin has been the perfect fit for us and Laszlo. We are very thankful.”
About: I've been caring for my own family pets for over 10 years and have also provided pet care for friends and family while they travel. I'm comfortable with daily feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering simple routines, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet their routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each family's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision and positive attention. While my family loves animals and my children enjoy helping with supervised play and affection, I am the adult responsible for all pet care and supervision. I believe in treating every pet like one of our own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax while they're away.
About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. Currently, I have a tuxedo kitty named, Mr. Sir. His is my laid back, street rat, expert hunter that does not like to be indoors. I have currently have a flock of 14 chickens. This is my second flock of chickens owned since 2019. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. Maple, my lab, was a diabetic for 7 years, requiring insulin injections. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. The care needed for my senior dogs helped build my knowledge on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be, just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
“Veronika has house sat for our cats and been an amazing puppy day care for our 9 week old pup. She’s our go to pet sitter because she is reliable, compassionate and a great communicator!”
About: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years and caring for pets has been part of my life since I was very young. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and different personalities and needs. I have experience administering medications when needed and always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Your dog will enjoy daily walks, playtime, attention, and a family-friendly home environment. I also have a fully fenced backyard that is maintained without toxic sprays, so your fur baby can safely explore and play. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom and this allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I care for pets as if they were my own while following their normal routine and owner preferences. At my home, pets enjoy a safe environment with a fully fenced backyard and regular supervision since I’m home most of the day.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked at two doggy daycares and a humane society, where I gained experience caring for and handling a wide variety of dogs. I’ve also shadowed at veterinary clinics and have had dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs from puppies to seniors and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every dog I work with! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have always had animals and currently care for multiple pets, so I’m very comfortable building feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and attention into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love every day. I’m also happy to dedicate additional time to pet sitting, dog walking, and daycare depending on my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of their home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without proper care. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals. I’d be happy to provide the care, attention, and companionship your pets deserve while you’re away. Working from home Monday through Friday allows me to spend extra time caring for pets and ensuring they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. While my weekend schedule changes from week to week, I’m happy to help whenever I can with advance planning. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I’ll provide the same level of care, respect, and attention that I give to my own pets.
About: With 3 years of dog care experience, including time as a vet tech, I’m confident handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable giving medications, understanding behavior, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Walks, playtime, and belly rubs included! I work from home the majority of the time, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I really miss having fur babies around, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely look forward to! I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or my clients’. I use to have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and affection. I maintain feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, and create a safe, stress-free environment. I’m also experienced in giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.
About: Hey there! My name is Audrey and I've been an animal lover since very a young age. Grew up on a farm and started watching for family and friends about 10 years old. From chickens, cows, horses, you name it I've cared for it! I take care of my parents Shih Tzu Dollie (named after Mrs Dolly Parton, because of her big attitude and sass!). *****My husband Joey occasionally assists me with pet sitting and care. We have many people that we have watched pets for together. We just love giving all animals love and affection they deserve. I'm currently a full time worker, but only working Wednesday to Saturday 7:30a to 6p. So I am available to cuddle and play with your furry family member on my days off and if your comfortable with care morning before and after my work schedule. My husband currently works 8a-4p in Plainfield as well, but he’s able to assist with midday potty breaks and care if you so desire! My husband and I take the atmost care of your furry family member making sure their bellies are full and they have plenty of cuddles and play time in the comfort of your own home!
“Frank and Beans really enjoyed their time with Dhara. She kept them so active they had a lazy evening and slept the entire night! They usually get up once or twice. I will definitely have them visit Dhara again in the future. Thank you Dhara!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pickard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 556 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pickard. 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 Pickard 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 IN 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 556 sitters in Pickard, 83% 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.
