Everything was great. Very nice and stayed in contact with me the whole time. We did a trial run before as well to make sure she was a good fit. Ruby made some new friends and it was a great experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much to Emily and Grace and everyone else there!

About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.

This was my first time using Rover and Kimberly was great at explaining everything and making me and my dog feel comfortable. We did day care to see how my dog would do before boarding and it went well. Plus she sent many pictures & videos. Oakley is excited to come back again!

Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.

About: I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my years including fosters, seniors, puppies and newborns. I have experience administering medications and aiding in mobility for the seniors. I have a one year old german shepherd mix. I have been with and handled lots of different breeds and energy levels. Pet care is everything to me and I’m looking to open that up from just my pup.

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have always grown up having family pets, and still continue having pets within my home to this day. I have two dogs myself, and they are spoiled beyond measure. I'm reliable, trustworthy, flexible, and I'll treat your fur baby just like I treat my own! I have currently finished up my academic portion of graduate school and am awaiting graduation and to pass my exam. I will be home for a few months studying and hanging out with my fur babies, giving me some spare time to help care for your fur baby! I have a big backyard to allow for your dogs to run. I also have two fur babies myself who can help keep your dogs company. Since I do have dogs myself, I can also provide your dog with walks or trips to the dog park!

About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.

Working with Shant'a was a tremendously positive experience. This was our first time leaving our pup Leo with a babysitter, and she helped patiently guide us through the process, worked with us coming from our of state, and created such a welcoming environment that Leo eagerly zipped right into her home without a second glance at us. (OK, that part was a little disheartening, but clearly he was happy about it.) Six hours later we came by to collect him, expecting the eager welcome we get when coming home from work, but he seemed more like a kid being told "playtime is over, time to go home". Clearly he was in no rush to leave. Shant'a sent us some nice pics during his stay, and held to the routines we requested. No complaints! She's a delight and we hope to work with her again.

About: I have a loving heart and a natural ability to connect to every dog. I've had dogs my whole life. I've taken care of dogs my whole life since I was a young girl playing with my dog and all the other dogs in the neighborhood. I can work every day of the week from 10am-6pm. I love working with animals and dogs are my favorite animal in the world! I have a compassionate heart and will be very gentle with your doggies. Yes! I have cared for other pets around my neighborhood and would consider myself an expert for the amount of years spent with dogs. I am very gentle and playful with dogs I approach them in a nice manner from behind and rub their belly and play with them. I only give them treats if I am allowed to, I enjoy walking dogs, taking care of them, spending time with them, and being around them because they are so friendly, affectionate and pleasant to be around. I like going places with them. They are friends for life! You can trust that your pups are in safe care with me. I have 9 years of experience walking dogs and they really usually all love me. I'm very happy so we have a lot in common, we don't sweat the small stuff.

About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Riverview

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,087 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Riverview. 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 Riverview 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 MI 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 1,087 sitters in Riverview, 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.
