“Tiffany was amazing!! My dog gets a little nervous when left at daycares but Tiffany made him feel right at home. The updates showed that he was relaxed and happy right away. Not only did Tiffany do a great job in taking care of him, she was also one of the most communicative daycares I've come across. You can really tell how experienced she is and how much she loves animals”
About: I've had a dog ever since I can remember. I've watched all kinds of dogs for friends & neighbors. I truly love dogs more than humans. I'm a loving ,kind , tender hearted lady who wants to give your dogs a true safe and fun getaway. I work while I’m in Ohio but get a hour lunch and I’m not full time . While in Clearwater I don’t work there Jan, Feb, March. I can work around your schedule and routine . When just walking or leaving them outdoors I'm flexible, whatever you need and whatever is best for your fur babies! I would take your dog out on a leash when they need to go outdoors. I prefer not to crate ,my house is safe for pets, no live plants or danger. . I can come and leave them out and just walk them too.
“Monica was great and I felt safe leaving my baby with her. This worked out perfectly because Puzzle doesn't tolerate being around other dogs (or kids). I would definitely use her services again.”
About: Hey, I’m Jonathan! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life, and today I’m the proud owner of two playful Labs. I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your furry family—so I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’m here to keep tails wagging. I work from home Monday–Friday, 9 to 6, which gives me flexible availability to care for pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I supervise closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure they’re never left without care.
“As always, Luna had a wonderful time at Caitlin's. I always have peace of mind when she stays with her. This past visit, Luna played non-stop and fell right asleep when she got home!! Bonus!”
“I had to schedule a doggy daycare last minute and Brenda was really awesome. I paid extra for the last minute convenience and it was worth it. This was my first time using Rover and Brenda made everything really easy and comfortable. She was very communicative throughout the day with updates and sweet pictures of my pup. She even gave me a coupon card to use as a first-timer. Additionally, Brenda's two kitties are very sweet and polite. They hid most of the time, but they got along with my dog well. Thanks again, Brenda!!”
“Rumi was so nice and responsive to all our messages. She was able to watch our dog on short notice. She sent updates during the stay where Evie seemed to be enjoying herself. Thanks so much!”

“Erin and her family were absolutely incredible! We had a very last-minute, late-night request, and Erin was so flexible, responsive, and accommodating to get care coordinated. This was our first time ever leaving our puppy, and she immediately gave us peace of mind with updates, sweet pictures, and amazing communication throughout the day. It was clear our puppy was loved and cared for like family. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, reliability, and exceptional care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, we highly recommend Erin and her family!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 57 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Shelby. 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 Shelby 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 57 sitters in Shelby, 79% 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.
