Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.

About: 🐾 Your Dog's New Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a dependable, compassionate dog lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From long walks and games of fetch to belly rubs, cuddles, and quiet companionship, I'm happy to tailor each visit to your dog's unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I also know how important peace of mind is, so you'll receive regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for every dog in my care, and I love building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or last-minute help, I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! When I amhome, I am HOME!! I work on the road so much i don't go anywhere else i have to!!!! I will do pickups and drop offs!!!! I have crate but do not use them unless told to. I have experience with babies that need emotional support humans just as much as we need them as emotional support pets!!!

Omg, Ian loves it here and will be coming for many more to come. Mary had informed me that he had found a favorite quiet spot on the bed and was content there and happy. He loves being with other dogs and in her environment.

Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.

This is my first time using a sitter on Rover and it’s been a great experience. I love the pics I get sent showing how much fun Karley had all day. My girl is tired when she gets home so I know she’s getting plenty of attention and exercise. I’m so thankful to have a reliable and loving home to take her to while I’m at work. I would highly recommend Destinee.

We were in town for a tournament and with the flexible game scheduling and a lot of unknowns, Nichole was great work with and remained flexible with our schedule. I had to cancel my pup's stay at the last minute and Nichole was so gracious and kind to the adjustment. Next time we are in town, I will definitely be booking her!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and turtles. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. This includes feeding, watering, bathing, administering medications, walking, and playing with your pet. I gave lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and a playful gentle dog to keep your pet entertained. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet rome and play. The dog park is in walking distance and we go for walks daily. Our home can be a home away from home for your beloved pet. I am currently working but I have plenty of free time in the afternoon, evening, weekends, and during holidays. I am an elementary teacher and if I’m not working I am at home with my son and dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that consists of a 6 ft privacy fence. I will feed, water, and bathe them as needed. I can administer medications and any individual healthcare as needed. I can take daily walks and even trips to the dog park. I have experience with all sizes and different breeds.

About: I offer dog daycare, grooming, and overnight boarding, and I even have a certified dog trainer onsite to support puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and pups who need extra guidance. With years of hands-on experience, I personalize every stay to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. My facility is conveniently located off 135 and Stop 11 and features a one acre fenced in yard with four separate play zones for safe outdoor fun. I also have a large indoor play area for rainy or cold days, so your dog gets exercise and enrichment no matter the weather. And here’s what truly makes us different: I don’t believe in nickel-and-diming pet parents. • No extra fees for administering medications • No extra charge for treats throughout the day (with your permission) • No add-on fees for snuggles, playtime, or extra potty breaks • Everything your dog needs is included—love, attention, fun, and care Your dog will enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for you, and an experience that goes above and beyond traditional boarding. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., I run a full doggy daycare program where your pup is supervised and engaged all day long. Boarding is available 7 days a week, and all boarding dogs enjoy access to daycare at no extra charge. Your dog’s care, comfort, and safety are built into every part of our daily schedule. Safety and trust come first. My facility is designed to give every dog a secure, enriching environment. We have multiple fenced yards that allow us to separate dogs by size, temperament, and play style to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident. An experienced team member supervises the dogs at all times, and we closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and group dynamics throughout the day. Indoors, we have a clean, climate-controlled play area for rest, enrichment, and safe play during bad weather. Every pup is cared for with the same attention, structure, and love we give our own dogs, because their well-being is our top priority.

About: I've moved! If you've booked with me before, please double check my new address! I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, but raising our mini Goldendoodle, Benny, since he was 9 weeks old has given me hands on experience with puppy training, crate training, potty training, bell training, socialization, routines, and helping dogs feel secure in a home environment. I especially enjoy working with puppies and younger dogs who benefit from consistency, structure, play, and interaction throughout the day. We also love slower paced and older dogs, though I always want to be upfront that Benny is still young and playful. I value communication, hospitality, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is for your dog to feel like they are staying with extended family, not just being watched. I work for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home throughout the week. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time and will be part of our normal daily rhythm, including walks, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and relaxing at home. We are a calm, loving family with two kids who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Benny loves having dog friends around, and we enjoy creating a home environment that feels relaxed, welcoming, and engaging for dogs who enjoy companionship, affection, and structure. We have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, explore, and potty comfortably. Inside the home, we have flexible spaces depending on your dog’s needs, including a tiled basement level for play and movement and a kitchen area that can be separated from the rest of the home for puppies or dogs still working on potty training. We also have Benny, our mini Goldendoodle, who loves other dogs and helps provide companionship and socialization throughout the day. If your dog is crate trained or needs structure overnight or while we briefly step away, we can absolutely accommodate that. We have multiple options available, including crate setups in our large bedroom for added comfort and supervision. Safety, supervision, and helping your dog feel comfortable in our home are always a priority.

About: Hi, we're Ash and Mike! In our house, dogs are considered part of the family, and yours will be treated like one of our own. We've lived with and loved dogs for many years, so we know what it's like to leave your pup with someone else, and how much it means when they're in good hands. We're comfortable with all kinds of dogs: playful puppies, high-energy dogs, smart pups who need a job to do, anxious dogs who need patience and reassurance, and seniors who need a little extra support. We're also experienced with more involved medical care, including eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and help with incontinence. Our schedule is flexible. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, and Mike is home two days a week and is hands-on with the dogs too, so your pup will have steady company throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and Ash runs regularly and is happy to take dogs out for exercise when appropriate. We’re equally happy to provide walks, playtime, snuggles, and always have a calm home environment to meet your dog’s needs. One note: with two young kids at home (ages 4 and 6), we can only host dogs who are comfortable around children. Pet care fits naturally into our days. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. Mike is hands-on with the dogs too. Between us, your pup will have steady company, regular walks, playtime, and a calm house to settle into. Ash runs and walks regularly and loves to bring visiting dogs out with her. We treat every dog like part of the family while they're here. Being away from home can be stressful for a pet, so we focus on a calm, safe, loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Between Ash and Mike, there's almost always someone around, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and head outside often for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. We pay close attention to each dog's routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful or happier in a quieter setting. We're glad to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you share. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you're away.

About: I've been a dog and cat owner and caretaker for more than 30 years. I love spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! I currently have a German Retriever mix named Callie and a Miniature Pinscher mix named Pippa - both are spoiled rotten, love to play with other dogs and do well with cats. I also have 2 cats - Michonne and Betty White. Both do well with other cats and dogs. I'm currently home most days but will occasionally work from home. I am available to provide all services 7 days a week, unless my calendar shows that I’m unavailable due to an appointment. I live in a home that does not have a fenced in yard, but we are close to Pleasant Run trail and area parks. My Golden doodle is a little shy but gets along with all kinds of dogs and cats big and small. The cats also get along with other pets.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - University Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in University Heights on Rover is $28.86 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 649 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across University 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 University 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 IN 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 649 sitters in University Heights, 86% 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.
