“Thanks so much! Crystal was very professional. She was clear about her services and what she doesn’t offer - like picking my dog up from my house - I appreciate clear boundaries. She fed him & let him out more than enough times and he seemed very happy over there. I feel safe with her watching my dog. Thank you!”

“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”

About: I've cared for all types of pets for around 30 years, and I love them all like family. From babies to seniors, and pets with special needs, I've got you covered. I understand the stress of leaving your loved one in the care of others, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am an emergency veterinarian assistant, trained in pet CPR. Rest assured that their every need will be met with great care. My availability is very flexible, to meet your care needs. If you choose to board in my home, I will always be home with your pet so I can attend to your pet's every need. Your furry, scaled or feathered loved one will never be left unattended. When caring for pets in my home, they will have free roam of the house, but never unattended. I do not use crates (unless specifically requested) and they are free to lounge on furniture and beds. My home is their home! As for caring for your pets in your home, you make the rules and we will stick to them!

“Valerie was fantastic! We contacted her on short notice for day care for our pups while we were in town for the eclipse! She instantly made my pups feel welcome and comfortable in her home and took great care of them while we were out for a day of festivities. She sent lots of pictures, was extremely communicative, and was very accommodating/flexible with modifying drop off and pick up times at the last minute!”

“Mindy provided day care for my aunt's dog, Sassy, while we visited Niagara Falls from Arkansas. Sassy had never been under someone else's care and my aunt was nervous about leaving her with a "stranger". But Mindy was wonderful and allowed us to come for a 'meet and greet' when we arrived in town the day before our booking. My aunt was still nervous about leaving her the next day because Sassy, being a Maltipoo, has separation anxiety. But Mindy knew taking Sassy for a walk right after we left would be a good distraction. She was also wonderful about sending pictures and videos especially that first day and that made us feel better about leaving her. By the second day Sassy was comfortable going straight to Mindy when we arrived. Also, she was very flexible regarding drop off and pick up times.”

About: I have always been a dog lover I have had my own for over 30 years as well as grown up with dogs . I have no children and have always considered my pets as my babies . Look forward to looking after your furry friend as my own when in my care. I know that each dog has its own personality and I will ensure I care and that I will be attentive to their needs. A cuddle on the couch and spending quality time one on one . I am retired from my family business and have purchased a property with a very large yard that I have fenced in. I bought this property so that I would be able to facilitate looking after pets ( dogs) now that I am a retired at home doggy mom . I also have a seperate fenced in pool area with a fibreglass pool if your baby loves to swim with me ❤️ we provide life jackets as well ( summer months) I have a large garage we have turned into a pet playroom, with separated sleeping areas air conditioned and heated . I have a very large fenced in area for our fur guests to roam. Supervised playtime . At this time I am only taking 1-2 dogs at a time so I can ensure quality time . I like a small scale setting . This will make your baby feel more at ease .

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and always aspired to be a veterinarian. I ended up changing my goal to wanting to open a animal shelter so that I can help out in that way and provide support for homeless animals. I am currently working on achieving that goal. If you allow me to spend time with your pet I promise you that they will receive the best care in my hands! I will treat them like they’re mine and like they’re my babies because I know that that is how most people view their pets and I would want someone to do the same for me and my pets. Thank you in advance for allowing me to take care of your animals! I have open availability as of right now! You can book me any time you need! I hope that I meet every expectation that you have and that you have an amazing day! I care for pets by first showing love and affection! Then by fulfilling whatever needs the pet or the owner has! It’s important for me to get to know your pet so that I be able to do whatever I can for them!

“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”

About: I pay close attention to pets as I do children, treating each with love, respect, compassion, and empathy. Sometimes no words are needed, just a scratch under the chin, chest, head, or ears! Other times, fuzzy friends need to be told what a great gift from God they truly are. I love being sensitive to each creature's individual needs, and cherish the special bonds formed while owners entrust me with their forever family friends. Sometimes that means going the extra mile (literally) if furry friends feel like going for a jog, hike, or swim! Thunderstorms can be the worst for some, soft spoken words, songs, and snuggles are my specialty. If a kennel is preferred I’m in full agreeance. I have been animal/house sitting for over a decade and am grateful for each opportunity given to help and serve. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and two fur babies. On weekends, my husband, kiddos (fur babes included), and I spend time in the outdoors, hiking, picnics, walks etc. Our pets and those that we watch are considered family members, therefore have our constant attention, love, and affection! We have an adequate fenced in backyard space for pups to play and enjoy frequent visits to the park. With drop in, checking food and water are on the list along with potty outside, playing ball (or throwing stuffies/ frisbee 🥏) and rubs.

About: Luckily since I have grown up in a family who loved pets I have been around all sorts of animals since I was young. Currently I have taken care of many dogs and cats. From helping with the care of elder pets to training for younger ones I have experience that will make you and most importantly your pet comfortable and feel at home. Currently my schedule is mostly open on most days. I work from home so this allows me to be able to keep an eye on pets too. I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether it’s following their routine, providing playtime, administering medication, or giving extra affection, I tailor my care to their specific needs. On walks, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, exploration, and training reinforcement. I also take my own dog to the local dog park regularly, so I’m experienced in managing social interactions and creating safe, enjoyable experiences for dogs of all energy levels.

“I’m anxious to leave my dogs with others, but I could tell upon meeting Monica that they would be ok. She is a very sweet lady who obviously loves dogs and made ours feel at home in her comfortable home and nice fenced-in yard. In every way Monica was awesome! Anyone should feel comfortable leaving their dogs in her care.”

About: I've been working with, caring for and training dogs since 1993 when I got my first pup (an Old English Sheepdog) and read the Brian Kilcommons book "Good Dogs Great Owners". I've worked with dogs of many breeds, energy levels and ages. Trust your dog with someone who knows what he's doing. Fully fenced with two well-socialized house dogs to play with. I currently work from home part-time computer consulting/contracting. I have two dogs of my own so daily care of dogs is part of my normal routine. I provide calm assertive leadership and supervision. I provide exercise via walks or runs with the bike. I have walked as many as six dogs at once.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Scranton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Scranton is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $38 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 216 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Scranton. 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 Scranton 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 216 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NY. 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 NY 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 .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 216 sitters in Scranton, 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
