“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”

“This was our first time using rover; we had Meg go just for the day to see how she would do while we hosted a party at our house. Deanna sent messages, pictures, and videos of Meg throughout her day. I was comforted and reassured she was in good hands. I loved the closeness of our houses, the ease with river booking, and the fast communication. Deanna was amazing and Meg was so happy and tired when she came home!”

About: I am an experienced Veterinary Assistant in an emergency Veterinary hospital. I have a 9yr old Pomeranian Chihuahua that loves playing with others! I only board one pet at a time (message me for multiple pets). Boarding/daycare services include food + water, toys, and an outdoor area with a fenced backyard for play. Please provide your pet's collar, leash, and preferred food. I can provide dog food if not. Let me know of any special requirements your pet needs. Flea/tick preventative within the last month is preferred. I am home daily with my dog and two children. My schedule during the week should allow for drop off/pick up for my children who attend school otherwise. I have a friendly dog that would be happy to play with your fur baby! I also am a certified veterinary assistant. I have dog toys and blankets/couch to keep your pet comfortable.

About: PLEASE READ MY FULL PROFILE! Important information to know before booking with me: My policy has temporarily changed to 2 pets at a time for the duration of my husband’s military training period Sept 2026 - April 2027 normally I only accept 1 pet at a time unless they are from the same family! While pets are welcome on my furniture, that excludes my bed. They must be crate trained or have their own bed. I do not negotiate my rates. I charge what I do because it allows me to be home full time and take extra good care of your fur babies. I do not have any kids. My animals are my children! My pets are my babies. They are my world and a very important part of my family. I do my very best to make your fur baby feel the same while they are under my care. All that said here’s more about me: I am a stay at home fur baby mom, with 18+ years of experience with pet care. I have had pet dogs and cats since I was very young. I do not have a job so I have all the time in the world to care for fur babies! I currently have my sweet playful Boston terrier Rory and my sweet kitty Haku. Rory loves new friends and gets along with every new friend she meets! Haku is a sweet snuggle bug! I can play, feed, bathe, snuggle, and take great care of your fur baby! I have a spacious fenced backyard with a pool. I live in a safe quiet neighborhood with lots of parks and places to walk! I would love to take great care of your fur baby, and understand that they are an important member of the family. You can count on me to make them feel at home and have a blast! I do not have a job, I am a full time fur baby mom. My schedule is very flexible, and I can be home all day with pets if needed. I live in a home with a nice spacious fenced backyard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe with lots of parks and places to walk! I have a Boston terrier named Rory who is super friendly and playful. She would be a great companion and keep your fur baby entertained! I also have a kitty named Haku who loves snuggles and playing with his toys. We often go on walks, play outside, snuggle, and have a great time! My pup is crate trained and I have a spare crate if needed for a medium sized dog. I’m ready to welcome your baby into my home!

“Jackie was great. She gave my wife and I a tour of her home where our dog Lulu would be playing with Jackie's 5 other dogs, so Lulu has plenty of furiends to interact with! Jackie has a good sized yard (+/- 30' x 40') of just artificial turf for the pups to romp on and a doggie door for the dogs to go in/out as they need to. Lulu seems to enjoy her stays at Jackie's and comes home tired from playing...which is the point of daycare!”

About: Hey, I’m Kylea! I am a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience caring for all different types of animals! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pets- shy or anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience, structure, or attention. Not only do I care for dogs and cats, but I have experience with bunnies, turtles, hamsters, and all sorts of animals! Animals truly bring me so much joy which is why I wanted to start doing Rover! To help others when they need a safe and loving place to have their animal cared for while away from home. I enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park and on walks although I spend a lot of the day playing at my house as I have a nice big backyard that’s a perfect play place for the dogs! I’m experienced with following detailed feeding schedules, administering basic medications, handling special diets, providing frequent potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom, therefore I am home basically all day everyday- other than the typical errand runs, Sunday morning church, and sports for my kids. Caring for animals is a hobby of mine and I am so excited to care for yours! Animals bring me so much joy and happiness so yours will be spoiled with love and adored. If I happen to leave while your dog is in my care, it will be kept inside my home in a large, gated area (no kennels), and never left outside. I have tons of space in my home so dogs that are not “related” will be kept in separate areas while I am away. Your pets are my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of them! During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of attention and playtime because in my home- we play ball in the house! :) Your dog(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your pet(s) from being overheated. The animals I care for in my home are treated with tons of love and care, and become a part of my family right away! I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). Dogs are kept inside for the majority of the day. I also have kids who love and adore the animals too and they love spending time with the animals and playing with them so your sweet pets will get extra spoiled with love! As for cats- I understand they are a bit more afraid at first, therefore will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories/toys until they seem to feel comfortable with me and in my home. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to rest of the home.

About: Hello, I'm Carlos, I am a PhD student at Texas A&M. Currently, I work from home so I am able to provide full time attention to your pup. My family and I had 6 dogs growing up, and I believe that’s the reason why I adore dogs. If your dog stays with me, I would be able to let them out in my yard to play all a day. I can go to a nearby park or go on walks around my neighborhood. Something that distinguishes me, is that, I have a lot of energy 🔋 and I am super effective with dogs. I’d love to meet you and your family 🐕 Please feel free to reach out 😁 🚨Unfortunately, I do not take any dogs that have tendencies to bark❌, eat house plants ❌ or that behaves aggressively ❌ I work remotely so I have plenty of time on my hands. I am always available, just hit me up to make sure I can take your pup 🐶 I am all cuddles and energy. I am sure your 🐾 will love it here. I have a fenced yard and I go for walks regularly to the park, I can go hiking 🥾 with them. You name it, your dog will be like in their home.

I didn’t want to leave him alone and I found Andria and he is so happy to go there and that makes me feel good. I know he is safe and has another family at their home. Thank you for caring.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waddell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waddell on Rover is $33 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,699 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waddell. 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 Waddell 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 AZ 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 1,699 sitters in Waddell, 89% 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.
