“I have been bringing my dogs to Angelita weekly for about a year now and I cannot overstate how wonderful she is. She is responsive, flexible in scheduling, and takes such great care of the dogs. She documents their entire day and always sends them home with treats. She even bought them Christmas gifts this year. I truly cant say enough good things.”
“D was amazing!! She was available last minute for us and took such good care of our boy. Charlie adores her. If we travel up here again, we will definitely be contacting her! Thank you D!! 🐶🐾”
“Our pup Josie is working on separation anxiety and Mai was willing to work with us. We were hopeful and it turned out great! It takes a special person with patience, love and a gentleness to care for animals and Mai is just. Not worrying when we are away is a really good feeling and we are very grateful that we have met Mai!”
“My little boy loved daycare at Heather and Spencer's. He romped with her poodles, took a nice snooze, and had kisses galore for Heather. Already booked our next play date.”
“We had a great experience with Gwendoline! Our 6 month old pit mix was nervous around the other dogs at first so Gwendoline did slow intros to make her feel comfortable. She was running around with all the dogs and making friends within the first hour! We will definitely be bringing her back soon!”
“Stacy saved my behind today and was able to watch my boy so I could get to a wedding! It was my first time leaving him for a long period, and wanted someone to watch after him to put my mind at ease. It was also my first time using Rover and found it super easy and quick! I thought she did a wonderful job, loved the updates, and that there were other dogs for my boy to play with! Thanks again!!”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
About: Hi! I'm a teacher in the Lancaster area looking to spend my summers doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I have extensive experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and animal care, and I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. One of my most rewarding experiences has been serving as a volunteer puppy raiser for service dogs throughout college and even before then. This role taught me the importance of consistency, patience, training, and providing a safe, loving environment for dogs as they develop important skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I'm patient with shy dogs, energetic pups, and senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in good hands. I'm a teacher looking for a fun and rewarding way to spend my summers, and pet care is a perfect fit. During the summer months, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon adventures, I can accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. You can count on me to provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates while your pet is with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through patience, consistency, and communication. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while always prioritizing their safety.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Slackwater
If I could give D 10 stars, I would. She is, without a doubt, the most genuine person we have ever met through rover. She was extremely flexible with changing drop off times and adding on an extra day of daycare last minute. Her farm is a adorable and our two Australian shepherds loved interacting with friendly goats, chickens, a cat, and even a sweet cow—it was a true vacation for them! If we didn't already think highly of D, upon arrival for their second stay, our boys bounded straight past us and ran to the door. They chose her over jumping back in the car, which speaks volumes about the trust and love she inspires. Furthermore, she is incredibly reliable with medical needs. Our one boy has epilepsy, and she managed to administer his medication flawlessly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found her and will use her in the future when we're in the area!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Slackwater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Slackwater. 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 Slackwater 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 PA 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 494 sitters in Slackwater, 85% 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.
