“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“We'd highly recommend Angie as a sitter! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, and Angie made sure she felt comfortable while in her care. She's very attentive and provides lots of updates and pictures!”
“Karma made our pup's first stay in the doggy daycare a great experience. He got to play with other dogs and get all the cuddles he needed from her! We also got a lot of photos and updates which kept our minds calm. Definitely recommend!”
About: I always loved animals. They come second hand in my life. I always take good care of my pets. I have a dog as well I currently delivery drive and I’m also in school. I work once a week and school once a week as well. That is the only time I have a second room and a porch to separate the pets. I have a gate at my dog as well. I have lots of supplies
“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”
“Wow! I am so glad I found Susan!! My dog is diabetic, needs insulin twice a day, follows a strict diet, and needs eye meds. Susan navigates everything perfectly! She’s watched Buddy several times, with stays ranging from a weekend to a week and a half. You can’t go wrong with Susan (and her husband).”
“First experience on this app and it couldn’t have been better! What a great weight lifted knowing my sweet boy was in the best hands. Super attentive from the start and sent pics/updates throughout. Will most definitely be booking again!”
“Super easy to get along with. My dog loved being able to go outside and run around and play with their dogs. They sent a lot of pictures and I know my dog had a great time!! Will love to use them again!”
“Cheryl is our go to whenever we need a sitter for Kona. She is flexible with scheduling and treats Kona with the best of care. She provides regular walks and pictures/videos to put us at ease. Kona loves to watch for chipmunks, birds and deer from Cheryl’s windows. I have booked both daycare and overnight care for long trips and we always know we can count on Cheryl.”
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Leslie is a true dog person. She took good care of our German Shepard while we were away. She had loads of dog toys, comfortable places for her to sleep... even the couch and seemed to treat her as she would her own dog. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day.”
“Highly recommend dog sitting with Pamela and Marshall! :) We received pictures and videos throughout the day, which really helped since it was Bailey’s first time without us. He came home happy, and so are we. Thank you!!”
“Austin watched Bentley on such short notice while we were in town for a short visit and it was the best decision of the weekend! He took such great care of our big dog and had our minds at ease the whole day. Sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend Austin to anyone in need of doggy day care. Thank you again!”
About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Makenna was very sweet and took excellent care of Stella. Stella was not stressed out when we picked her up and we can tell that she was very comfortable with Makenna.”

100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Russell Center on Rover is $26.75 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 Russell Center 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 559 sitters in Russell Center, 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.
