“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience with our dog sitters! 🐾 They took such incredible care of my mini dachshunds, Nugget and Muffin, and treated them like their own. I got updates, photos, and total peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious how much they truly love animals, and my pups came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Nugget and Muffin can be a little spoiled and needy at times, but they were so patient, attentive, and loving with them. I honestly couldn’t ask for better people to trust with my dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitters! 💕”
“Perrin was amazing with my 6 month old ball of energy. I’ve been having a tough time adjusting to puppy mom-ing and he had some awesome tips and feedback. So helpful! My puppy had a wonderful day running around with Ava and came home happy and very sleepy. I would 100% recommend this sitter!”
“Jenny and Darin were great! They provided updates throughout the day and took great care of our slightly anxious puppy :) Will definitely book with them again!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our puppy with Maura, she was in great hands and was showered with so much love the entire time she was there. We are so thankful we found her!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I came to her with a dog who was super anxious at his last sitter (to no fault of the sitter), stubborn, and a senior, and she is so understanding and kind. Ollie is vocal and set in his ways, and she was able to make his experience super positive and he really seemed to like her. I will absolutely be booking her anytime she is available, and as long as she wants Ollie back.”
About: My family and I truly enjoy watching other family’s animals. It allows us to help families not worry about their pets when they are not able to take care of them. I’m a full time teacher, so I have quite a bit of flexibilities during the summer time. I am available to board during the school year as well. I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.
“5 stars! Can’t sing Julie enough praises! I feel so absolutely at ease while my Cookie is in Julie’s care. Thank you for being a safe and comfortable place for our pup.”
“Sarah took my dog, Ida, at the least minute for daycare this week. I received regular updates and photos, and my mind was at ease the entire time. Ida had a great time with Sarah, her husband, and her dog! They made sure she got outside every few hours and kept track of how much she ate and used the potty the whole time. They were very conscious of her allergies as well. I will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had dogs as part of my family since I was a child. Most recently, I’ve cared for our own dog for the past 13 years, giving me experience with every stage of life—from energetic puppy years to the special needs of senior dogs. In addition to caring for our own pets, I’ve welcomed dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors into our home. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and activity levels, and I understand that every dog has unique routines and needs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family in our clean, smoke-free home. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our dog-friendly children love helping give pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. My husband works from home, so there’s almost always someone around during the day to provide companionship, potty breaks, and attention. In the evenings, our family is typically home together, so visiting dogs become part of our daily life and receive plenty of love and interaction. We understand how important consistency is for dogs and do our best to maintain their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether your dog enjoys playing in our fenced yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with people nearby, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay. We treat every dog as if they were our own and strive to make their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences before their stay. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special care your dog may need. In our home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They have plenty of supervised time indoors, access to our fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and lots of attention throughout the day. We provide a clean, smoke-free, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax with people nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the care and companionship they need.
About: I am a loving, compassionate, and reliable person that has a love for animals. I am also athletic and can take your puppy companion for a jog! I have unlimited availability for pet care. The only time I am not available is at 3pm, when I pick up my two pet loving children from school. I have a fenced in yard in a nice neighborhood, and a lake across the street if your pet likes to swim. I am also available to come to your home as well. I am available in Rock County and Dane County.
“Allison was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing Hodu was in good hands. Would definitely book with her again!”
“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”
“Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!”
“Zion had an amazing time with Tony! He took excellent care of our pup. After spending the day with Tony, our dog went right to nap after getting ample exercise and care. We will definitely use his services again and would recommend him to others. Thanks so much!!!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters I have found! Ruby treats your dog like her own with care and attention. I received updates and pictures, which calmed my nerves about leaving him. When I picked him up the next day he was all bathed and did not want to leave. (What dog wouldn’t with all the other animals and space to play) Ruby is hands down the best, and I will always go to her!”
“Edith is your dream sitter. She posts daily photos and updates of your pet. She obviously loves what she does. She is a lovely soul and my Mimi, who can be shy, had her tail up in the photos which made me feel reassured that she was in a safe, loving environment.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free and work from home during the week, so I have the availability to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rockdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 382 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rockdale. 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 Rockdale 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 WI 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 382 sitters in Rockdale, 87% 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.
