About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.
“Ashlee was amazing!!! Murphy has a hard time adjusting to new people and surroundings, and she really took the time to get him acclimated and was patient with him. She kept me up to date with how he was doing, eating, and using the restroom. She has a great setup for the dogs and genuinely cares for them all so much. I’ll happily book with Ashlee for any future needs :)”

About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our family! I am a certified foster for multiple local rescue organizations and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. I have extensive experience with kittens, puppies, bunnies, ducks, and reptiles; including bottle-feeding and hand-raising many little ones through the rescues we work with. For extra peace of mind, our personal veterinarian—the owner of a local animal hospital—lives right next door, so knowledgeable support is always close by if needed. My own Goldendoodle and I have also completed therapy dog training through Love on a Leash, which has strengthened my understanding of positive, gentle, and attentive animal care. Because I stay home full-time, your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and love throughout the day. When your pet is with me, they are treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. I am available 24/7 and on holidays. I am a stay at home mom so your fur babies will have around the clock care and love. I have a large fenced yard and a great neighborhood for leashed walks. We have a certified therapy dog who loves all other pets and a laid back cat who goes with the flow.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives, I grew up helping my family run a boarding kennel from our home. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved while they're away from home. Caring for dogs is truly a team effort in our household. My husband has been around dogs since he was a child and has years of hands-on experience with all types of animals including exotic animals like snakes and lizards. Our roommate worked professionally at a boarding facility and has experience with managing routines, exercise, medication, and caring for multiple dogs in a safe environment. Our 9 year old also helps with feeding routines with our animals and is excited to help with yours, She loves playing fetch and hide and seek with the dogs in the backyard, and our 8 month old will lovingly giggle at them and attempt to feed them his crackers. Our home is a place where your family will be treated like our family. We have a large, secure fenced yard for playtime, two friendly dogs of our own who love making new friends, and plenty of love and attention to give each guest. We know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so our goal is to make every stay as comfortable and stress free as possible. We will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog(s) is safe, happy, and receiving the same care we give our own. I'm currently working part-time, which means plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they deserve. We offer overnight boarding Monday through Friday, and because our household works rotating schedules, someone is home most of the day to provide potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and lots of love! We will stick closely to your dogs normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a large fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play under supervision. Inside, they'll be treated like part of the family with attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. We have two friendly dogs of our own who enjoy making new friends, but I always introduce dogs carefully and can keep them separated if needed. I'm also happy to crate your dogs if that's part of their normal routine or if you request it. I'll keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages so you can spend your time away knowing your pup is in good hands.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Underwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 251 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Underwood. 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 Underwood 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 IA 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 251 sitters in Underwood, 84% 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.
