“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”

“Michael took amazing care of my 2 shih tzus during a full day stay. He was extremely accommodating of our situation and need for temporary short term care. Will certainly use him and his care again!”

About: A couple of months after we married my husband adopted our first dog, Sandy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was 26 years ago. Both of my sons are adults now so I have free time to focus my attention on your baby. Your baby will have my undivided attention. My property is fenced and I will accompany your baby outdoors. We can play fetch or simply keep each other company. I will do what it takes to make your baby comfortable and happy.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, I provide a calm and structured environment where every animal feels secure and cared for. Your pet will be staying in our home's dedicated and separate room that has direct access to a half acre, surrounded by 6-foot privacy fencing, ideal for a safe play and exercise. I am a certified Yellow Dog Walker through Animal Friends and specialize in positive reinforcement, earning each dog’s trust through patience, consistency, and respect. Dogs from different households are introduced carefully and only if both owners approve. Every dog in my care follows a reliable routine built around their owner’s preferences. Feeding, playtime, cuddle breaks, and outdoor exercise are all kept on schedule, with regular potty breaks every few hours to maintain comfort and consistency. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, as well as muscular injections. In the rare event of an emergency, I act quickly and responsibly by providing first aid, contacting the owner immediately, and working with their veterinarian or PVSEC, which is 15 minutes away, if advanced care is needed. Boarding, overnight care, and in-home sitting are all available. Clients receive daily photo and video updates to stay connected and reassured. My family takes pride in maintaining a clean, attentive, and loving environment. Choosing our care means your pet is treated with the same responsibility, structure, and affection we give our own. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine, as I work from home full time boarding horses. I maintain a structured schedule that begins early in the morning with feeding, medication administration if needed, and outdoor time in the fenced yard. Throughout the day, I rotate between play sessions, walks, and quiet time to keep pets balanced and comfortable. Evening routines include another round of feeding, bathroom breaks, and wind-down time before bed. For boarding and overnight care, I remain on-site to ensure consistent supervision. I plan my workday and personal schedule around the animals’ needs so no pet is ever left waiting for attention or care. Every pet in my care is treated with the same level of safety and respect as my own. My home and facility are designed for secure, low-stress care, featuring a half-acre yard enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence where dogs can exercise freely under supervision. I never mix pets from different households unless both owners confirm compatibility. Feeding areas, bedding, and play equipment are cleaned and sanitized regularly. I monitor all pets closely for signs of stress, discomfort, or illness and respond immediately. In the rare event of an emergency, I apply first aid, contact the owner, and consult their veterinarian or PVSEC if advanced care is required. Trust is built through consistency, transparency, and communication, with daily photo or video updates provided to owners for peace of mind.

“I was in town for the Billy Joel concert, and Cassandra and her family were the best dogsitters for my girls' night out! Vinny felt completely safe and at home with them, evidenced by his rambunctiousness when I picked him up. (He's usually quiet and cautious in new places, unlike how he is at home.) She was accomodating with the time, and I'm so grateful! She's definitely my first choice when I'm in town!”

“I dropped my puppy off for a daycare for the first time! Tara was very nice and she sent me photos and progress reports regularly throughout that day! Will definitely be using her again ?”

“Cheryl was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was a little nervous at first, but she made him feel comfortable, and he ended up really enjoying his stay. Since he's an older pup, I was naturally a bit worried about leaving him, but Cheryl kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member. She's a 10 out of 10!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over 35 years, beginning in childhood and continuing throughout my adult life as a pet owner. Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know each one so they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their family is away. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs and understand the extra attention, gentleness, and consistency they often require. Whether a pet needs an energetic play session, a leisurely walk, medication reminders, or simply a calm companion, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to provide pet parents with peace of mind, knowing their beloved family member is receiving loving, dependable care in a safe and comfortable environment. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. As a dog owner, I spend time every day walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for my own pups. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is for pet parents to know their pets are in caring, dependable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their usual routine. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is being cared for as if they were a member of the family. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. Pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervised care throughout their stay. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I have a fenced in backyard (pictured) where they can run freely and play while staying safe. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise or playtime, and plenty of companionship during each visit. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they receive individualized care. I am respectful of my clients' homes and always ensure everything is secure before leaving. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for whether they're staying with me or I'm visiting them in their own home.
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”

“Val is an absolutely incredible dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her. She is very flexible and communicative with us on dates and times. And most importantly, she is so so amazing with our dog Wilson. He is so excited to go over there every time and she sends so many pictures and videos which are our favorite part! They do so many different activities and Wilson loves her son so much! Cannot rave enough, thank you and see you soon!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Heights on Rover is $21.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 647 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across South Heights. 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 South 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 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 647 sitters in South Heights, 89% 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.
