“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“Jessica was very pro and made sure to be very thorough about what her routine and expectations were! Her and her pups were also very loving and friendly and took great care of my dog Blake.”
About: I'm Sean, a lifelong dog owner offering Boarding and Doggy Day Care. I work from home full time in Oldham County, steps away from great dog walks along the Ohio River. Your dog gets supervised attention all day, long outdoor walks, in a friendly and fun environment for dogs of any age, breed or size. I lost my dog of 14 years in early 2026 and I'm channeling that love into caring for yours. Taking good care of your pet allows me to do something I truly enjoy while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am available full-time and every dog is unique, so you can expect that I will tailor each day to your pet's age, energy level, personality, exercise requirements, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Mornings will include an early morning potty break and outdoor time, breakfast according to your dog's normal feeding schedule, a walk, play session, or quiet outdoor exploration depending on your dog's preferences. There will be plenty of attention and companionship as the day begins. Throughout the day there will be multiple supervised outdoor breaks in the spacious yard and surrounding dog friendly areas. This will include long walks, short walks, play sessions, or relaxation time based on your dog's needs. Fresh water will be available at all times. There will be frequent interaction, supervision, and companionship since I work from home and there will also be comfortable indoor rest periods between activities. Afternoons and evenings will include additional outdoor exercise and activities, dinner according to your dog's established routine, relaxation time indoors with plenty of attention and affection, evening potty breaks and if necessary a walk before bedtime. Individualized care is important for your dog's well being, so before your dog's stay, I will learn about feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, medication requirements, favorite activities and exercise preferences, commands and training cues your dog responds to, sleeping habits and comfort needs and any special routines that will help your dog feel at home. My goal is to maintain as much of your dog's normal routine as possible. During your pets stay your dog will enjoy exercise, companionship, and personalized care. Long walks and adventure or a relaxed day of lounging and affection await so your pet will feel right at home. For safety, dogs are always walked on leash. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet, either in person or by video call, so you can feel completely comfortable before booking.
“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 6 years old so I’ve been around dogs most of my life. Having taken care of them for so long, I understand what it takes to keep them happy. I recently lost my childhood dog and I miss being around dogs so much. This is a great way for me to stay around them! I am a college baseball player and just got back for the rest of summer. I am not working and have nothing going on so I am free all the time. I have a large yard but I will keep your dog supervised the whole time or leashed if needed. If your dog is at my house, it will be treated with even better care than usual, my whole family loves dogs.
“I’m so happy Bear had a great time with this sitter, she was amazing at being available short notice and took very good care of my dog. I highly recommend this sitter!”
About: I had dogs and cats in my house my entire childhood. I helped feed them and walk them, gave them medications and played with them. I’ve even given a rowdy Doberman eye drops 😅 long story short, since moving away, I’m looking to have more pets in my life. As for cats, I also grew up cleaning litter boxes and dealing with diet changes. I’ve brushed cats on a very regular basis and love playing with them. I am also here to listen for any other requests or special needs that your pet may have! Whether that be for medications, treats, specifications for walking, training commands, etc. I’m here for you! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom expecting my first in August 2024 and spend time taking care of my own dog as well! I am an animal lover, so I am all about the pets, cuddles, and play time! I love to run around with them, play fetch, or just let them do their thing. All animals have different needs and I’m all about observing and listening to them in the moment.
“Gloria loves Miss Rachael!!! She is very knowledgeable about caring for animals which makes me feel less anxious when she isn’t with me!!! Thank you for taking such good care of Gloria. And she loves Butch!!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Morgan, and I’m a dedicated pet parent to two lovable doodles. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am! I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’m here to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they’re happy and safe, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, you can trust that your pets are in good hands. Let’s make their tails wag together! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. My two doodles are my constant companions, and their needs naturally shape my day. From outdoor playtime to meal times, enrichment activities, and cuddle breaks, I’ve built a lifestyle that ensures they’re happy, active, and well-cared for. Working from home allows me to be attentive and consistent, providing plenty of time for fun and affection. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it’s a fulfilling part of my everyday life! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease and cared for like family. I ensure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and relaxation in a stress-free atmosphere. Whether it’s feeding, monitoring their behavior, or engaging in activities to keep them happy and healthy, I focus on their individual needs and routines.
“Shelby was FANTASTIC with our Sherman. He was very nervous when we left him (he has separation anxiety). Not only did he seem to do well after we left (the pictures she sent us spoke volumes about his mood), but when i picked him up he was excited to see us as always but instead of running straight to the car and waiting at the door for us as he usually does when we pick him up from someone he did a couple of excited circles and had to run back to give one of Shelbys pups a kiss goodbye. He often stays with my sister and he loves her and her dogs but he never runs back to the door for any reason. He was so relaxed and clearly worn out feom playing so much. Shelby is terrific. You xan certainly entrust her qith the care of your fur-baby with confidence!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.
“Kaitlan is very professional and communicated with me by text promptly every time. We are in a motorhome and use Rover to find out of town pet sitters so we can find a safe place for my pups to stay during the day while we tour different areas. She was great.”
“This was our first time leaving our pet in the care of someone else. I’m grateful that Kristine made this a smooth and easy experience for us! Pipa came back relaxed and happy ♥️”
“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”
About: I have experience with pets and can groom walk and play with them. I am very good with pets I love them. I’m so excited! I am a college student and I am off school right now. I have plenty of time to help out anyone that needs it please I would take them out and also make them comfortable if they are staying overnight. Regular meals and fun walks. Also fun playtime with them
“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Prospect
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Prospect. 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 Prospect 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 322 sitters in Prospect, 85% 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.
