“Susan is wonderful! My puppy had an amazing day with such personal attention. She updated me all throughout the day and I loved it! Her dog Frank is amazing too.”
“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”
“Marshall and Pamela are amazing and steady working with Owen. They send me updates on how he is learning to socialize. I couldn’t be happier with them!”
“Loved being able to book a day care visit in a different city for our two dogs while we were on vacation and seeing the sites. Albert and Stacy were super communicative, easy to find and, obviously, they love dogs! Honey and Charlie enjoyed their visit and playing with other pups. We loved getting photos throughout their stay.”
“We left our baby, Oswald, with Karma for about 4 hours while we went to a concert. She sent us photos and updates so we knew he was doing well! I am always anxious about leaving him with anyone but he was safe and sound with Karma!”
“Thomas is amazing! Your pup will be in great hands with him! His love for dogs is very apparent and he was attentive to all of my dogs many needs lol. Thomas was also great at communication and Abner could not have asked for a better stay! Highly recommended!”
“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”

About: There’s never been a time in my life where I haven’t been active. Realizing I could be both; active AND hang out with some furry friends - it was a no brainer for me. I’ve had two of my own dogs for the majority of my life (cat lover as well), so I’ve most definitely been acclimated to all that they may throw at me. I started rover mid 2025 as a side gig after hopping out of the 9-5 life - I now have a consistent clientele and pups/ kitties that I’ve watched grow up. I’m looking to continue booking up my schedule as I love what I now do! I most frequently get requested for walks and drop-ins. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send me over a message!! I’m currently only working part-time. I have some time on my hands and love dogs as is, so when I realized this was a side gig option, I hopped on it! I’ll be accepting walks/sitting/pop ins whenever I’m free! I have an open house with no fragile valuables, a fenced in back yard, and crates/ closed off options. Also very adaptable to other homes systems.
About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️
“Aspen is the best! She took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates. Ollie immediately felt comfortable with her! Would highly recommend booking with Aspen”
“Brandon is amazing! He agreed to watch my 3 month old puppy on a 2 day notice while I had to work for 12 hours. Ollie had so much fun playing with other dogs. He sent me videos and pics all day and gave me updates! Highly recommend, Ollie loves it here and he’ll be back!”
“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.”
“Swetha and her family took amazing care of Snowy! They treated him like their own and were incredibly patient and attentive. I really appreciated the frequent updates — every few hours they would send multiple photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Snowy looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Swetha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shaker Heights
Al was great! He was prompt with communication and flexible around drop-off and pick-up. I love the many video updates, they give me a sense of what my dog did all day. My dog Cassie clearly loves Al and seems very happy to arrive, and is utterly exhausted when I pick her up. Exactly what I need!
Brittany was a life saver for our Ruby while we were traveling in Cleveland and she didn’t want to be left alone. Timely communication, open to last minute booking and flexible timing where needed. Ruby was exhausted and happy after her day with Brittany. Thank you!!
Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Shaker Heights on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 Shaker Heights 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 607 sitters in Shaker Heights, 91% 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.
