“Lynnea was so great with our two pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates as the day progressed, and she took them out many times over the course of the day. Her pup Ruger was also so sweet and well-behaved with our older dogs. We will be using Lynnea again the next time we’re in the area! ?”
About: I started back in 2010 with an adopted Cat who made such an amazing first “pet” that became family! After meeting my now husband, we adopted 2 beagle brothers who were 1.5 years old! Unfortunately one became very sick but we still have his brother who will be 12 this November! He loves car rides, treats, and walks around our neighborhood! I’m currently a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry family member! I teach my 4 year old son preschool and enjoy a lot of outside time to get our energy out! I have a 4.5’ aluminum fenced in backyard with a 2 foot puppy fencing along the whole interior to ensure the utmost safety and keep your mind at ease. I have a very safe neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your pet. The neighborhood is also adjacent to our district school with a 2 mile walking path for all community members to use! I use this often to give both our dog and my children the ability to release energy in a safe space!
“Kathy was great. She came to my rescue when I needed someone to watch my dog on moving day. I had never left Bowie with anyone other than friends or family but when I left him that day, I could tell he was in good hands. I would definitely use Kathy again to watch him and I would also recommend her to watch anyone else pets too.”
“We adopted husky mixed named Kiba from the shelter few months ago and he has really bad separation anxiety that we wasn't able to leave him home alone when we need to go out so it's usually my oldest step son or me stay home with him and missing out a lot until someone told me to try find a dogsitter. So I posted on Facebook that I'm seeking for one and Mollie commented so I decided to give it try with her. I'm glad that we did! We're able to go out for first time as family while we knowing that Kiba is in good hands with Mollie. Kiba seems very happy and tired from playing with his new friend Rumble. We're pleased about that so we definitely will have Mollie dogsitting Kiba again when we need to go out as family. Thank you so much! ?”
“Brenda is wonderful! She is very loving with my dog Rosie I can tell my dog really enjoyed her time with her and was excited to be back again. She is responsive when messaging and took pictures and kept me updated while she was with her . Will definitely have her watch Rosie again 😁”
About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an animal lover with a passion for giving pets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, or go for long walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’ve got experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands, I'll treat them like family! I am a teacher who is home for the summer break! Since I am home, I am flexible and can fit to your scheduling needs! At our home, we prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. We have one dog, Obi, and one cat, both of whom are used to having visitors. Obi is always excited to meet new friends and loves playtime, while our cat is more independent and enjoys keeping to herself, but she’s used to having dogs around. When caring for pets in our home, we ensure walks are safe by always leashing our pup, and we use a lead for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks in the backyard. Obi is crated when we leave the house, ensuring he’s safe and secure. He has access to his food bowl throughout the day, allowing him to graze at his own pace. However, we’re happy to accommodate any special feeding routines or requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.
“Fernando was a lifesaver. We needed a doggy daycare while intonation for a funeral and he was available on short notice. Foster was happy and tired when we picked him up. Looks like he had a good time and was well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Liceth was able to watch Milo last minute for Doggy Day Care and he loved it! She sent videos of him playing, and he was nice and tired when I picked him up after 12 hours. Happy Milo means happy dog mom!”

“I had such a great experience with Lydianis! She watched my dog overnight and took amazing care of him. She kept me updated the whole time with photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She made sure he felt comfortable, safe, and right at home. You can truly tell she cares and goes above and beyond. On top of that, she even helped me find him a new home because of my situation, and she found him the most amazing family. That meant everything to me. She doesn’t treat pets like “just dogs” she treats them with real love and compassion. I truly trust her with any of my pets and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Strausstown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Strausstown. 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 Strausstown 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 295 sitters in Strausstown, 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 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.
