About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animals and a dream of growing my own pet care business. I’ve had animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I also have experience administering medications and caring for special-needs pets, so your fur baby will always be in safe and loving hands. My home is perfect for active, social dogs! I have high-energy pups of my own who absolutely love making new friends and playing with other animals. Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a safe, loving, and fun home away from home I am a stay at home mommy so I have so much free time on hands to care for your babies ! I have a golden retriever that loves to play! I let all animals out as needed so works perfectly for your fur babies potty needs ! I’m available any time and any day I have multiple fenced in areas and a heated pet area in the garage to also bathe your babies in if needed! Your furry pets are welcome in my home during day and will be put in the garage with beds and everything they need at night time! I also make my own pet treats ! Your babies definitely will be spoiled!

About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! A little about me - I’m a wife, mom of 3, and of course an avid animal lover which is what led me to Rover. I have experience with small to large breeds and from puppies to seniors. I live on two acres of land, however none of it is fenced in so pets that are in my care will be leashed during any and all outdoor time. My home is very clean and well kept! My schedule is open and flexible. I am reliable, experienced, and pay close attention to detail. So please, feel free to give me any and all details that I will need to make sure that your fur baby is happy, accommodated, and comfortable. Pets in my care mostly have free range of the house when they are with me. Crated only if I need to leave. Potty breaks are given as often as they’re needed. I will watch for their ques and also take them out often. I send daily updates with pictures/videos so that pet parents are always informed on how their pets are doing during their time with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

About: If there’s one thing I know, it’s pets. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and helped friends foster possums and raccoons growing up. I currently have a 16 year old cattle dog lab mix, an 8 year old boston terrier, and a 3 year old bobtail cat. Raising a senior dog has taught me many things including oral med administration for animals, as well as how to handle general health ailments and emergencies that naturally come as dogs age. I work from home and have a fenced in yard. My animals have free rein of the home, and furniture. Working from home allows me to cater to any dogs schedule. The front half of my yard has a puppy picket fence so that small dogs can not get out, the back yard has a normal picket, but is six feet so that bigger dogs can roam comfortably without being able to easily jump over it. I am able to cater to dogs that need to be crated as well as animals that roam. I’ve used rover as a pet parent for years, so I understand what it can be like to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll make it a point to send you updates at least once a day detailing how they are doing, and send videos and pictures.

The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!

About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.

About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!

Angela is fantastic with my pups. I have always had family watch them during the day, but a change in jobs left me anxious to find the right spot for them. I know they are well cared for at her place. It’s such a peace of mind knowing someone is taking good care of your pups! I would highly recommend her services!

About: I have pet sat and cared for dogs (and cats) since the age of 10. I am mostly experienced with larger dogs, so smaller animals won't be any issue. I’m a college student and am sticking around the area before christmas- my schedule will be wide open to care for pets as often as needed. I want to play with your pets as much as they want to play with me!!! I give pets a lot of attention, love, and care. I can easily crate dogs if needed and will make sure they are properly cared for. i

About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.

Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!

Hillary was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure all routines were followed and that our dog received plenty of attention and love. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Urbana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Urbana on Rover is $23.31 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 247 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Urbana. 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 Urbana 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 OH 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 247 sitters in Urbana, 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.
