“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”

About: I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs for 6 years. Mainly for my relatives, friends and coworkers. Now I'm ready to branch out. I have more experience with senior dog care but I do have some knowledge in puppy training and care. I've only taken care of two cats. I'm a stay at home mom and could easily take care of 1-2 dogs at a time. My schedule is flexible. I wake up early and go to bed early for my baby. My husband and I own a duplex with an unfenced yard. Your fur baby will have there own apartment while boarding with us. I'm basically using our upstairs unit as a dog bed and breakfast. I can regularly check on them, take them out for potty breaks and walks in my neighborhood.
“Our first time with Kyle & Hannah. The location was close to your house and Koda was super excited to play with other dogs for a doggie day camp. I saw photos and videos. Feedback was great! We will definitely use them again.”

“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”


“Michelle was great! We felt comfortable leaving our sweet girl in her care, and the pictures that Michelle sent us put our minds at ease that she was having a good time. Thanks Michelle!”

“My shy pup had such an amazing time at Abigail's! He's always so eager to come home and see me arrive, but when I came to pick him up from Abgails, he wasn't ready to leave! He even made 2 dog friends; which is very impressive for him on day one of meeting everyone. I can't recommend Abigail enough! We will be returning :)”

“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”

“My fur baby was very happy to be in Molli and her fur babies company! I was able to work peacefully knowing that Ariya was in good hands . I will certainly consider her and highly recommend her. I am so thankful that Molli even picked and dropped off Ariya from my house!”

About: My wife and I have been taking care of our dog and foster dogs for the past 6 years. We've taken care of dogs ranging in size of French bulldogs to Siberian huskies.

“Karin Was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Yoshi and made sure he felt safe loved and comfortable and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind I could tell Yoshi was in great hands and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Karin again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! 🐾🐶”

About: I have been around & taken care of animals almost all my life. I currently have no pets of my own I have owned a dog in the past. I have some experience walking and sitting my family members animals. I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood with a park just a few minutes away from my home. I joined rover to be able to help with other animals & share my love during my time with them however you choose to book. I work from home so I will have full attention to meet all requirements for each & every pet.I don’t usually like to leave my house much while boarding so if I do it would be something important Always keep a clean & safe environment for them, also try to stick to their routine so they can be comfortable with a new person
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I had 2 family dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter! I have lots of experience and I am eager to make your furry family feel safe and comfy while you’re away! I work a full time job, so I am pretty available on afternoons and weekends. Typically after 3:30 PM on the weekdays, and as all day on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of land! I have a safe and clean home that is super cozy for our furry friends.
About: I have been trusted by family & friends to watch their beloved pets for years! Now that I own my home, my fiancé and I have 4 pets together (2 dogs & 2 cats) that we have learned so much from! We are also certified fosters through 2 different groups. I have experience with caring for & training puppies & kittens, post op care, and basic medical needs (ie eye drops/oral medication). Taking care of your pets & mine is my number one priority! Working a flexible, part-time, wfh job gives me the ability to make animal care my priority! Pets will be tended to at their normal schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible. All pets will be left alone as minimally as possible (0-3 hours per day), and will be crated/contained when alone. Pets in my care will be treated just as my own, and be given the most attention and love possible. Pets will be crated or contained when alone & at nighttime (8 hours or less if needed). Pets will be given lots of outside time (on leash) and enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, snuffle mat, training for fun, etc, will be provided.
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have had four dogs of my own. I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away. Available for boardings all week and every other weekend! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !! I’m in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.
About: With 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I’ve learned that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special! As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies who love to play to sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic puppy training reinforcement, and providing the patience and attention older pets deserve. What sets me apart is that I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. I take the time to get to know each animal, respect their individual routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, a cuddle companion, or simply a familiar, reassuring presence, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few more furry friends into my routine comes naturally! As a devoted pet parent myself, my days are filled with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every animal gets the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your furry family members company while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their individual needs and routines. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so my goal is to keep their days as comfortable, familiar, and stress-free as possible. Your pets won’t just be another appointment on my calendar. They’ll be a priority! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s something I never take lightly. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and do my best to maintain the routines your pets already know and love. From feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and snuggles, I follow your instructions closely to help your pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable. During walks and outdoor activities, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. I understand that every animal has different personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I never force interactions or situations that could make them uncomfortable. Communication is also very important to me! I’m happy to provide regular updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your babies are happy and in loving hands. My goal is simple: to provide the same patience, respect, and unconditional love that I would want someone to give my own pets!
About: Hi! My name is Andrea and I’d love to hang with your pup! My preference is to house sit for you as I’m currently in a condo that might limit my availability to watch your fur baby in my home, but I’m open to discussing! I work remote, so my job allows me to work anywhere. It’s a win/win for you and me. If I go anywhere, I won’t be gone long or I’ll take them with me. I’ve had dogs in my family for all of my life. I had my own baby for almost 15 years and had to say goodbye a couple years ago (he’s pictured in the red wagon on my profile). I’d love to have another dog, but I haven’t found the right one yet. So in the meantime, I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family and found that I love it! I love all dogs and will love your furbaby as my own! I’m flixible and available last minute most of the time! My schedule is flexible. Because I work remote/from home, we’ll have plenty of play time. It also means less alone time and/or kennel time for your pup. I don’t have an enclosed yard, but I enjoy taking breaks from work to go for walks. And I promise your pup won’t be ignored. I can crate if needed, but I’d much rather take them for a ride in my car if I have to go anywhere.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
I was like a first time parent dropping a kid off at daycare since I have a puppy and he had never stayedwith anyone else before, but Ms. Katherine was great with Enzo. She provided pics during the day of him playing and making himself at home which eased my mind. I would highly recommend Katherine!

I cannot believe I haven’t left a review yet. I’ve had past daycare experiences elsewhere that left me uneasy and nervous. This is not the experience here. When I say that my dogs have an amazing time, I mean it. She has a dedicated area for dogs and it is focused on dogs. A lot of the time I book whenever work goes beyond my normal scheduled times. She is always flexible, kind, and reassuring. I never worry about my dogs and they at excited to go to daycare. Best dog sitter, best daycare, and the best communication.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Riverside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Riverside is $31 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 280 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Riverside. 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 Riverside 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.
As of October 2026, there are 280 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of OH. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
