“Sally was GREAT for daycare. I know my girls were taken care of, and they were beat when they got home. She was super active with them and definitely wore off the puppy energy! Definitely will be using her again”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”
“Shanelle was great with my senior dog Remi! Remi can be a little slow to warm up and Shanelle (and her dog Ray) respected her boundaries as she was getting comfortable during her stay. I loved the photo updates while Remi was staying there, as well as the clear and concise communication from Shanelle. I’ll be booking with her again! :)”
“Will and Bibiana are the best. They have treated my puppy Nella like their own. They have helped Nella and I beyond what I could have hoped. Would recommend to anyone for the best care! Thank you guys so much for all the help!!”
About: Have volunteered for Bird of Prey in SC which entailed cleaning the cages, feeding, PR for visitors. Have had corn snakes, hamsters, ferrets, rats, geiko. If you have a shy pet, my services are tailored to YOUR pet’s personality. Retired, therefore I have a flexible schedule for all types of pets. Will accept long term set schedule or shorter - whatever meets your needs. I will watch your pet in its own non-smoking, home environment. Tell me how you want things done and I’ll follow directions. Providing exceptional care is my pleasure.
“She took awesome care of my two babies even after they totally act like they had no home training kept in contact and was even accommodating with picking up early and dropping off late I appreciate her so much highly recommended and will definitely use again”
“Erika is great! She and her daughter are great dog sitters. My pooch had a blast playing with with their two resident dogs. Looking forward to a return visit when the need arises!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She helped me with a last minute day care situation and she was extremely flexible and very quick to respond. She went out of her way to run her errands the day I contacted her so she would be able to stay home all day with my dog......on a Holiday. She provided me with pictures and updates throughout the day and was very caring for my dog. My dog has diabetes and she understood the nature of a diabetic dog. I was very glad to choose Rachel to take care of Boomer and will definitely contact her again when I am in the area. Rachel is very friendly and I would recommend her to my friends.”
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with Bronx and Sasha (who barked at him and was a bit stand-offish). He accepted Sasha who was in heat at the last moment. He kept the pups for an extra hour for us, which we appreciated very much! Dogs were returned to us completely exhausted, happy, and ready for bed. I would definitely recommend Kevin for any of your pet needs. We'll definitely be back next time in Ohio!”
“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
“Ariana was awesome!! She was very patient with my sweet pup who had some initial anxiety at the start of daycare, allowing her to warm up to her home and her own dogs. She was also in touch every couple hours with updates and cute photos - I can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely go to her again in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverlea
Calling Anna patient is an UNDERSTATEMENT. We have such a hyper active puppy and she spent 10 hours with him, i literally don’t even know how haha. My puppy LOVED her dog Loki, they were besties for the day!! Anna sent SO many pics today and updates. This was my first using rover or even someone else watching my Milo and Anna put my at so much ease. 10/10 would recommend, don’t hesitate to book with her!! If I had more time I’d continue to rant and rave about her, that’s how amazing of a day my puppy had!! He got so much running yard time he slept like a baby when we got him home. Love Anna!! ❤️
A Wonderful Experience for Panda! Dan was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Panda! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Dan took such great care of him, sent me pictures throughout the day, and even took Panda on runs so he could get plenty of exercise and have a great time. The sweetest part is that Panda really found a new best friend in Dan — or as I like to say, his new bear friend! 🐻❤️ You can tell Dan genuinely cares about the dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Thank you, Dan, for treating Panda like one of your own. We truly appreciate you, and Panda can't wait to see his new friend again! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby!
Our two boxers just stayed with Kevin for a full day of daycare & we were very happy with their stay. Kevin was flexible with the drop off/pick up & kept us updated throughout the day with pictures. Both pups came back nice & tired from playing in his back yard & going on walks.
Camille and Joshua did a great job taking care of Thunder! They walked him and sent photos and updates daily. I could tell Thunder had a great time at their house. He’d wag his tail when I asked him if he wanted to go over to play with Johnny and the children. I would definitely ask them to help watch Thunder again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Riverlea on Rover is $29.96 per day (as of September 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 Riverlea 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 OH 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 640 sitters in Riverlea, 90% 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.
