Communication with Nancy was excellent. She was quick to respond. Both our dogs spent the day with her while we were in the area. They played hard because they were worn out when we picked them up. We would book with her again.

About: Consider me Grandma to your fur babies! I can come for the weekend so mom and dad can get away :) Multiple dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys are part of my life, and I know it's important to have a pet sitter you trust. I will take care of your home & fur-babies like they're my own! I know what to watch for in dogs and cats as far as abnormal behavior, distress, etc. I have literally owned one or the other my entire life!! Also I'm a grown adult with my own house. I will respect your home. I have 100% availability other than doctor appointments and normal life events. I currently watch my grand dog once per week as well but that's a flexible day. I believe dogs need play, but what that looks like depends on the age/ breed. I don't feed pets a lot of people food and I do make dogs mind. I take dogs out for potty on leash only, so your dog will need to be polite, and I can assist in training as needed. I'm not currently working so I'm available and want to engage with your fur babies! I can do what your pet likes, whether that means playing or cuddling, I let the animals steer the activities. I make sure your babies entertained so they aren't bored and destructive. I spend time scratching ears, petting, and loving on animals I watch so they feel secure and adored.

About: Hello everyone! 🐶 I’m Autumn and I love taking care of your fur babies! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care. It’s important to have someone you trust, I love what I do and I take what I do seriously. When you’re away, you deserve the comfort of knowing your pets and your home are cared for. I specialize in overnight stays and personalized drop in visits, providing reliable, one on one care that keeps your pets happy and your household running smoothly. Many pets do best in their own familiar space, not in loud kennels or crowded daycares. Especially pets that are anxious, shy around people and other animals, or have other health or behavioral issues. My services are a great alternative that lets your pets keep their normal routine and feel secure and calm at home. They get more attention and you get peace of mind. 🐩🐕‍🦺 Your pets stay relaxed in their familiar space while I follow their routines from mealtimes and walks to playtime and cuddles. I also handle home care details like plant watering, mail pickup, light cleaning, and keeping everything secure and tidy. With years of five-star reviews, recurring clients, and extensive experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs, I provide an experience designed for peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule as well and can work with your changing needs. I’m patient with shy & anxious dogs, and will always give attentive, responsible care and they will be treated like family. I keep owners updated every visit and with overnights I give daily photos and updates 🏡 💬 Let’s schedule a meet & greet so I can learn your pets routines and create a care plan tailored perfectly to your home and their personalities. *I charge a flat $100/night for house sitting (no extra-dog fees). For 4+ dogs I may adjust the rate based on the time or care needed. If you have special circumstances, I can customize the rate- just message me to chat about what works best! *My 30 minute drop-in visits are $30, which includes one on one play / potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, and photo updates. This flat rate is for 1 to 2 dogs — feel free to message me if you have a 3+ pet household and want a custom rate.* 📍Located in Lawrenceburg, KY -About Me- I've taken care of animals since I was 11, and now do pet care full time and professionally for over five years for the Lawrenceburg area and have many recurring families off of Rover. My husband and I are frequent foster parents for the Lexington Humane society, where I have also worked on their marketing team! I love Jesus! And in my free time I love to read, go to workout classes, bake, and spend time with my family! I do pet care full time and professionally. I love what I do and I'm passionate about providing my clients safe and trustworthy pet care. I have a flexible schedule and like to work around my recurring clients. I provide reliable in home pet care that you can trust. All rules will be followed, no smoking, no other pets will be brought into the home, and the house will be left clean. I also do small daily tasks to maintain the home and make sure it's left better than when I arrive. I treat every stay as a full home and pet care experience. That includes following routines, giving one-on-one attention, and ensuring your home stays tidy, safe, and organized. Clients often tell me their pets are happier and more relaxed when they return, which is exactly what I aim for. For overnight stays there will be no guests over except my husband who comes to all overnights (with permission) for safety reasons.

Clarissa, we had a wonderful experience and couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the beginning, you were communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was her willingness to make accommodations and work with our schedule and specific needs, which made the entire process stress-free. It was clear that Lena was treated with patience, and attention, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind while we were in our event. Knowing our pup was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time. If you are in the Lexington area this is your gal, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate Rover sitter!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.

Amber saved our lives when we needed a last-minute sitter for our little Ebi. She was lovely when we dropped her off, and we could tell how much she loves dogs. She was very communicative all day, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how Ebi was doing 😊 She’s actually taking care of Ebi for two days in a row.

About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk
 Peace of mind is everything while you are away. I will provide tons of updates and pictures for you to rest assured your baby is in good hands. Many of my clients return again and again, it’s the greatest compliment! 
I am a compassionate, flexible, reliable pet sitter that will treat your doggie like family. You can feel secure, knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands while you are away. If your pet requires any type of special needs or medication, you can rely on my experience. I have a house with a fully fenced in back yard. I keep my bookings very limited and only accept overlapping puppers when they’re a calm, proven fit. They will get the extra attention they deserve while also having a couple of canine playmates! I work from home so I am able to give your baby full attention, exercise and snuggles all day every day. They will have plenty of socialization and company. I have always loved animals of every kind. I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years through myself or friends. I have raised & trained my sweet senior Doberman from 8 weeks old. I also have a rescue, a sweet senior Pomeranian that I have had for the past 11 years. In our free time we love going to the lake, camping, picnics in the parks, car rides, the dog park and the occasional pup cup! We would be thrilled for you to allow us to watch your sweet baby and go on adventures with us! I am always extremely flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs and schedule. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship, mental, and physical exercise! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep them company and have fun-time playmates. We go out to potty at least every 1-2 hours. I also have a large and small crate for dogs that are crate trained unless you’d like to bring your own. I have a separate fully insured $1M policy for your peace of mind.

About: We would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us. My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Our kids also love dogs! We have a large fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog on a walk or let him romp around the yard. We do have a cat named Eleanor and kids, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around cats and children. Eleanor mostly keeps to herself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at her, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We don’t have a dog at the moment so enjoy caring for pups when their owners are away. About my yard We do have a large fenced yard! My experience administering medication Yes, we are comfortable administering medication. I work from home so am happy to have a furry friend keep me company and get some exercise together. Your pet won’t be lonely! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to play and explore. The fenced area is almost 1/2 an acre so plenty of room.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waddy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waddy. 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 Waddy 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 KY 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 346 sitters in Waddy, 82% 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.
