“I highly recommend Michael to anyone that wants someone that will spend quality time with your pup(s) while you are away. This was my first time to use Rover for Marly & Charmin, and I’m so glad I found Michael!! I signed up hoping to find someone that would show them lots of attention when I’m out of town. I am that dog mom that has as much separation anxiety, as my dogs usually do when I leave them. When I left them at Michael’s, I knew they had already made a new friend. Michael sent me several pics through the stay and it was obvious that both pups had already made themselves right at home. This was the first time in 10 years, I felt completely comfortable that they were ok while I was away. When I arrived to pick them up, they were not anxious to leave and kept going back to Michael to be petted. Michael will be my go-to person from now on for doggy day care or boarding when I’m away from home.”

About: Hello! I’m Ruben, a retired Army First Sergeant with over 20 years of military service. Throughout my career, people trusted me with important responsibilities. Today, I bring that same reliability, integrity, and attention to detail to caring for your pets and home. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, chickens, and even an iguana named Rex. My first dog, Dotti, taught me what unconditional love truly means. As she grew older, I helped care for her every day, making sure she stayed comfortable, happy, and loved. That experience has stayed with me ever since. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society, pet sat for family and friends, and have experience working alongside veterinarians. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll care for them with kindness, respect, and compassion. While you’re away, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while giving you complete peace of mind. Your pets will be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I would be honored to earn your trust. I’m fully retired after over 20 years of military service, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I offer morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. Whether you need daily drop-ins, extended vacation care, or last-minute help, I’m available to work around your schedule. Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine, provide fresh food and water, medication if needed, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also perform home security checks, bring in mail and packages, water plants, and make sure everything is secure while you’re away. As a retired Army First Sergeant, I understand responsibility, reliability, and treating your home with respect.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Theodore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 126 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Theodore. 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 Theodore 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 126 sitters in Theodore, 92% 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.
