“Dog owners! If you want a peace of mind and a wonderful, loving experience for your dog, Cheryl is the best person for your baby. Cheryl sent pictures all day, kept me abreast of Tootie's day, and provided delicious treats. Tootie was happy when I picked him up. That is important! Thank you Cheryl for loving my baby!”
“What would I do with out this wonderful lady! She has been so flexible with my crazy hours and days and I appreciate her patience and willingness to work with my super attached dog. Thank you Fiona for being the best dog sitter I’ve ever known!”
“Kristin's care is like home away from home. We could tell that it was a good experience as Bella had a very waggy tail :) Will reach out again when we need daycare or an overnight stay!”
“Our sweet Bella loved her time with Lindsey! She wants to come see her again but we live in Oklahoma! If we are ever back here or if we have a friend coming here we will definitely refer to Lindsey! ❣️”
“Maria is just wonderful to your fur baby. Hunter was so happy to meet her and her ‘kid’. He played the whole day and learned how to go up/down steps. Maria has a magic way of communicating to your dog. I don’t think he wanted to leave do to the great time he had 😀. He’ll be back!”
“Taylor was amazing. We’ve never used doggy daycare and quite honestly was pretty nervous, but Taylor made your minds settle she’s super professional and very trust worthy. We will definitely be using her again. And gained a friendship in the process.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of My Bella. Michael was extremely friendly and welcoming to both me and miss Bella. Bella was so relaxed with Michael an his dog Harper. His home was very dog friendly with a beautiful fenced backyard and a doggy door. I’d highly recommend him and have already booked another week. ??”
About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision. I do not do meet and greets for safety reasons. “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”
“I have never left my small dogs with anyone or a doggie day care before. I am so thankful I found Sherry and Ray. They totally made my dogs feel at home and was very communicative from the start. It was a pleasure to do a meet and greet before the big day and to see their lovely dog friendly home and fenced in backyard. My dogs had a blast and enjoyed playing and hanging out with the other dogs. I felt very calm leaving them for the day and was so excited to go pick them up. I would highly recommend to board your small dogs and they would be safe and in very good care.”
“Kenmarie was great with our dog and very flexible with our timing as we had to switch from daycare to boarding with short notice. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog did not mind the separation because she provided such great care.”
“Elaine was incredible! She accommodated us on very short notice, even on the Friday of the long weekend. Everything about our experience with her, was perfect. She sent us pictures & updates too. We are very grateful for all of her help. I would 1000% recommend her services! Thank you so much. 😊🌞”
“Lindsey and her family are absolutely awesome! They have a clean, safe, and fun home, and they genuinely care about the dogs they host. I felt 100% confident sending my dog to daycare with them, and I plan to continue using their services every week.”
“Jen was fantastic with Olive! He loved playing with her dogs and swimming. He was absolutely exhausted that evening and the next day from all the fun (which is no small feat for a working cocker!). Jen was super responsive and gave great updates throughout the day! We will definitely be sending Olive to stay/play with Jen again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Summerdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 291 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Summerdale. 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 Summerdale 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 AL 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 291 sitters in Summerdale, 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.
