“I can't even tell you how wonderful Tolley and Tom are. Not only did they take care of our crazy pup who had a great time there, they went above and beyond. I will be using them again and highly recommend to anyone who needs these types of services. Thank you Tolley and Tom for the great experience.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities. I care for every dog like they're one of my own. My home isn't run on a strict schedule instead, dogs become part of our daily routine. We start our mornings by getting up and heading outside to play, and on weekends we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the yard. During the week, I work from home, so the dogs hang out with me inside and get plenty of attention throughout the day. They have opportunities to go outside whenever they need to, and I make a point to get everyone out at least once every hour. My goal is to provide a relaxed, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.
“Swetha and her family took amazing care of Snowy! They treated him like their own and were incredibly patient and attentive. I really appreciated the frequent updates — every few hours they would send multiple photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Snowy looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Swetha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those with specific routines. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure each pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits, walks, and basic care like feeding, bathing, and litter box maintenance. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pets are not left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate most feeding, potty, and medication schedules. I also offer flexible pickup and drop-off times when my schedule allows. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. I can separate pets if needed and always prioritize safety. For drop-in visits, I am respectful of your home and ensure your pet is cared for reliably and consistently.
About: Having lost both of our sweet dogs, I miss the love and joy they brought. Caring for your pets fills that space in my heart. I’ve been around pets my entire life, almost 40 years of loving on dogs, cats, farm animals, and container pets of every size and personality. Until recently, I had a house full of pets: two big, goofy doodles and two cats (including sweet seniors who needed a little extra TLC). Those years taught me how to handle wiggly, excitable large pups, while also knowing the patience and gentleness senior pets deserve. These days, my home is filled with the love of one senior kitty, and I'm excited to open my hearts (and couch!) to yours. I don’t have kids and I have a non smoking home, so all of my love and attention goes straight to the animals in my care. I’m home full-time, so your pets won’t be left alone. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly household where belly rubs, ear massages, and snuggles are part of the daily routine (basically all day if it’s allowed, lol). Whether your dog wants to romp in the yard, go for a walk, or curl up for a nap, I’ll follow their lead (or your request) and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I can give oral meds, keep food/water on schedule, and happily adjust to whatever routines your pet is used to. Here, your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be cherished like part of my family. PS - I'll probably take a gazillion pics of your pets while they are here and I'm more than happy to send them to you! ;) Drop-off and pick-up are flexible to what works best for you, because I know life doesn’t always run on a set schedule. I don’t have other work pulling me away, so they’ll get attention, snuggles, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought here, their care is truly my focus. I also understand how stressful it can feel to leave your fur baby in a loud daycare with slippery floors and too many distractions, that’s why I offer a calm, cozy, homey space instead. Here, your best friend will be cared for like family from the moment they arrive until the moment you pick them up. My home was made with pets in mind. Dogs are welcome to curl up on the couch, or I’ll happily follow your wishes if you’d prefer they stick to their own beds. You’re welcome to bring along their favorite toys, blankets, or beds, or they can borrow ours (we have plenty to share). I have a fenced yard (4ft tall) for supervised playtime, an elevated deck where curious pups can safely watch the neighborhood go by, and carpeted steps throughout the house to help protect joints and prevent slipping. While our home has multiple levels, I'm happy to keep your pet on just one floor if that’s more comfortable for them. Most of all, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. They’ll get plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship; always with the same care and attention I gave my own.
“My Gus was very comfortable during a day long stay at Ramona's home. He's a rambunctious six month old and Ramona handled him calmly and didn't get rattled by his 'puppiness.' Thank you!”
“We are really happy we found Deborah on Rover to care for our lovable playful girl! Deborah took great care of our Pixie girl, and reassured us with updates and pictures. Pixie had fun playing and slept very well when she came home.”
“I left my baby Raisin (just adopted) so she’s still messy and not trained and they were amazing with her and had a lot of patience. I can’t wait to book the next daycare with them.”
About: Hello, my name is Summer, and I am a dedicated animal caregiver with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I also grew up helping care for animals on my grandfather’s farm in Missouri, which helped foster my deep passion and respect for animal care. I am experienced in administering vaccines, providing oral medications, and performing basic wound care. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive, loving, and responsible care at all times. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home throughout the day to provide constant supervision, companionship, and care. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods. In my home, we have two cats, Onyx and Teddy, a Standard Poodle named Morty, as well as frogs and a hamster. All of my pets are well cared for and accustomed to being around other animals. Boarding Policies: • I do not accept pit bull–type dogs for boarding. • Drop-offs and pick-ups must occur within the agreed-upon time window. • A $25 late fee will apply if you are more than 30 minutes late for drop-off without prior approval. • If your dog is not dropped off by 8:00 PM, you will need to either wait until the next business day for drop-off or cancel the booking on your end, which may be subject to cancellation fees according to platform policy. • Owners are required to provide their dog’s food for the duration of their stay to help maintain consistency in their diet and avoid digestive upset. If food is not provided, a $30 supply fee will be added to the booking to cover food provided during their stay. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting me with your pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every animal in my care.

Your dog or cat will never be left alone for extended periods. In my home, we have two cats, Onyx and Teddy, a Standard Poodle named Morty, as well as frogs and a hamster. All pets are well cared for and accustomed to being around other animals. For safety and comfort, dogs are crated at bedtime and during the rare occasions when no one is home. Crating helps ensure a secure environment and peace of mind for both pets and owners. You are welcome to bring your own crate or playpen if preferred, and I also have extras available. Please feel free to let me know if you have any concerns or special requests regarding crating.
“Our dog Bo was very tired when he came home. He had a fun day! He spent a lot of time outdoors playing with the other dogs. Marie made sure Bo and we were comfortable with his stay. Marie communicates well and sent lots of pictures!”
“Shelby was able to work with me on scheduling last minute allowing me to enjoy a day out without worrying about my puppy. She kept me informed with photos and I ended up with a happy, and exhausted, pup.”
About: My husband, Keith and I love dogs and have had them all of our lives. Our beloved rescue dog passed in April. We miss having a dog to love on and play with. Your dog(s)will be treated like they are part of our family. My husband and I make a great team as he likes to take the dogs for daily walks no matter the weather and I like to play fetch, or work on commands. I work from home full-time while my husband works from home 3 days a week so we are here on site daily. We are active people and love to go on walks ourselves so we will take the dog with us. There are no kids or other pets in our home. We have an invisible fence so we will ensure all dogs are taken out on a leash when they need to go outside.
“Mariia was amazing! She accommodated me last minute and was super understanding and easy to communicate with. I was just thankful to have someone to even watch my pup but she gave her amazing above and beyond care- taking her on a 45mn walk and sending me updates so i wouldn't worry. Mariia is very caring and professional and I would absolutely recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet. Thanks Mariia!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Valley City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 558 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Valley City. 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 Valley City 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 558 sitters in Valley City, 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.
