“Enes and Stephanie took great care of my Thusnelda. They communicated well and sent lots of updates. Thusnelda also had a great time playing with their dogs. Thanks so much!”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Ann! I work from home and truly enjoy having a furry companion by my side throughout the day. I know how important it is for dogs to get daily walks and fresh air—so I make sure every pup in my care gets plenty of exercise and fun, rain or shine. Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets. I grew up surrounded by animals, which taught me to understand their needs and emotions on a deeper level. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, lots of affection, and a safe, loving environment. My Home I share my home with two friendly cats who prefer relaxing in their own space when we have visiting dogs. This helps keep the environment calm and comfortable for everyone. To make sure each guest gets the care and attention they deserve, I only board up to two dogs at a time. Your pup will enjoy a cozy home setting, plenty of personal attention, and lots of cuddles. I can’t wait to meet your dog and welcome them into our little family! ~Ann I am self employed and work full time at home ensuring that your pet will get the attention they deserve and need. They have easy access to the backyard as well. The backyard is fenced in. I have never allowed my dogs to sleep on my bed nor sofa but they have their own ottoman to stay close to me while I watch TV and the comfort of a dog bed and/ or crate. My home is peaceful ☺️
“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”
About: I’m an experienced dog lover who has cared for 9 dogs over my lifetime, most of which I trained and raised myself.

I’m committed to keeping dogs happy, safe, and well-cared-for while in my care. I have a spacious home with a huge backyard and a large porch, perfect for dogs to play, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. I love getting outside, so daily walks, fetch sessions, and outdoor adventures are always part of the routine. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or a little extra TLC, I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, and ready to provide a fun and loving environment for your furry friend. Why You Can Trust Me: • Experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments • Knowledgeable about feeding schedules, walking routines, and basic training • Calm and prepared to handle any dog-related incidents or emergencies • Passionate about keeping dogs happy, healthy, and active I work from home so your dog will always have someone keeping an eye on them. My flexible schedule allow me to be available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra cuddles. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening, I make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and cared for whenever you need most. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets. With a huge backyard and spacious porch, dogs can play, exercise, and relax. I carefully supervise all pets, ensuring they are never left unattended, and I am always present to respond quickly to any situation.

“I have one of those dogs that can open doors, turn on the radio and open her crate. She’s just so independent and intelligent that most sitters are not up for that kind of challenge. Kiara is not one who is easily overwhelmed by all that. She was amazing with both of my dogs while with the loss of a family member. Desi (GSD, cattle dog and pittie) and Biggie smalls (old English bulldog) are in love with her. She is responsible, prompt, compassionate, observant and most importantly loves dogs. I feel blessed to have her watch my kids. Every time I started to wonder how they were doing I got a video or a picture or just a message saying what they were up to.”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life. I grew up around, Australian Shepherds, retriever mixes, rescues, senior dogs, puppies, sick dogs and I've spent years riding and working at barns. Barn life teaches you things that carry over to dogs: you show up on time no matter the weather, you learn to read body language before a problem starts, and you stay calm with strong, anxious, or high-energy personalities. [I have experince giving medications, including deworming and any pills.] During the day I work remotely as a business analyst for a healthcare consulting firm, and I bring the same habits to pet care: clear communication, close attention to detail, and following instructions exactly. You'll get photos and a quick update after every visit, so you never have to wonder how things are going. I'm living at home right now after graduating college, and pet sitting lets me spend more of my week with dogs while earning some extra cash to help my mom out around the house. It's something I genuinely look forward to. Because I work remotely, I'm local and nearby on most days. That gives me room for morning and evening walks, midday drop-ins, and other unique times. I keep my Rover calendar current, so if a time shows as open, I'm truly available. I'm also happy to set up a recurring schedule so your dog gets the same sitter every week. Safety and trust come first. Before any booking, I am happy to do a meet and greet so you and your dog can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine firsthand. I check harnesses and leashes before every walk, never let a dog off-leash without your permission, and double-check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. I'll have your vet and emergency contact on hand. If anything seems off, even something small like a skipped meal, I'll let you know right away.
“Electric & Crescent are awesome. Odin had a great time with them and their lovely cats! The communication was great, they're easy going, they sent pictures constantly on how Odin was doing and I couldn't be happier to see him enjoy playing and cuddling with them. Odie is definitely coming back! Thank you!”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Rhea went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, loved, and cared for while I was away. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear my pet was in great hands and truly enjoyed their time. I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Naeemah, a loving and reliable dog sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and puppies, making sure they get the extra love and attention they deserve. Your dog will be treated like my own, with plenty of affection, patience, and understanding. I understand how important it is to find trustworthy and reliable daycare/boarding for your furry family members. As someone who works remotely, I have the privilege of offering my assistance to fellow pet parents who want to ensure their dogs are not left alone for extended periods of time. When your beloved pup stays with me, they will receive an abundance of care and affection, not only from me but also from my own adorable pups! The best part is that my schedule is highly flexible, allowing for potty breaks whenever your pup needs them. I have two incredibly friendly dogs of my own who are always ready to snuggle up on the couch and bed! Your fur baby will have the freedom to explore and make themselves at home wherever they please! I strive to provide a warm environment for your furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay because I'd want my own pups treated the same way! So, why wait? Let's give your pup an extraordinary and memorable experience! I work from home so I am home all day to care for our furry guest. I can walk them as many times as they need, play as much as much as they’d like, and attend to all their needs. My goal is to create an environment as close to your own pups! I allow free range throughout my home and provide as many walks and play sessions throughout the day as needed!
About: Since I was young, I’ve loved animals, specifically dogs! I have always had my own dog and have watched many different dogs, large, energetic, and even puppies! I currently work from home and have my own dog, so taking care of another pet whether it be drop ins or walks, is completely doable. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador! He is super energetic so I am constantly walking him and ensuring he gets his energy out.
About: Hi there! We’re a family of four with big hearts and an even bigger soft spot for dogs. We recently said goodbye to our sweet boy after 13 wonderful years, and while we’re not quite ready for another full-time furry family member, we’d love to share our love of dogs by helping care for yours! Our experience includes caring for dogs of all ages — from puppies to seniors — and giving medication in pill form when needed. I am currently unemployed - which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. We have two kids at home who can lend an extra hand in evenings and weekends. We have a fenced-in yard, perfect for daily exercise and bathroom breaks. While our dogs haven’t been crate-trained, we’re happy to use a crate if that’s what your pup is used to. Someone will almost always be home while your dog is in our care, and we’re happy to discuss the best plan if there’s ever a time they might be alone in the house.

Ulku and Andrew are very special pet sitters. They are kind, caring and our dog Pippa adores going to visit them and their dog Leo. I wish Pippa could go every week as she comes home calm and happy. Ulku and Andrew send pics and updates and feel very fortunate to have found them. Sadly they’ve become very popular so I’ll stop here with the praise 😊

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Villanova
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,467 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Villanova. 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 Villanova 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 PA 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 2,467 sitters in Villanova, 87% 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.
