About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I treat every animal as they were my own. I have two dogs and one cat of my own and all are rescued and very loving. I would love to nurture and spoil your pets as I do my own. This includes endless amounts of love, plenty of play time and frequent walks, and potty breaks. I want you to know while your gone working hard your babies are cared for the best they could be. I've never came across an animal that hasn't loved me and that I haven't loved. I will give endless amounts of hugs and kisses if anything thats what I'll do too much of. Thank you can't wait to hear from owners :) I work from home and I'm here available all day we take potty breaks every 2 hours and exercise time.

“Samuel loves going to see Rosemarie. He runs straight up to the door in the morning. I know he's being left in good hands. Rosemarie always communicates several times a day by sending pictures and giving me updates on how the day is going. Reliability is a huge thing for me and I never have to worry. When we book with her, she always comes through. She also communicates clearly what her availability is and keeps me updated on future dates she may not be available. I appreciate her so much. If you need a sitter that your animal will love and you can feel more than comfortable leaving them with, Rosemarie is the one!!”

About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.

About: I have 5 animals- 4 cats & 1 dog. I have always had such a connection with animals, I enjoy taking care of them & bonding, I have fostered dogs & my animals were all adopted from shelters. I am able to sit for several animals, cats included- as well as walking the animals, feeding, bathing, playing, you name it! I work Monday through Friday I would be available in the evenings after work & early mornings on the weekends! I work from home Monday and Tuesdays so I can provide doggy daycare during those days as well. I do have animals myself so I typically would come home feed and let them out and then I am available all evening! In my clients home I can take them on walks if a yard with a fence is available I still will go out with them have playtime, & still take them on the occasional or everyday walks if that is preferred! I will feed & look after them as well if dog sitting is requested rather than just a walk - I can also help practice things that the dog parent is wanting like crate training, training in general.. I also watch cats so I can play with them, feed & look after also

“Jodi responded right away after I inquired last minute about a daycare stay so we could explore the area while passing through on a road trip. Our doggy was slowly introduced to the other dogs, who were all so friendly, and she immediately ran off to play. She sent me pictures throughout the day of all the fun our dog was having and she was so tired on the way home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d bring our dog back in a heart beat!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and have always played a large part in taking care of them. With my love of pets I became a Veterinary Technician and I've worked in the Veterinary field for over 16 years. I've worked in general practice and emergency. Along with working in Vet Med I have always done petsitting. I have also taken care of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and a bearded dragon! I have also had foster dogs and kittens and helped with rescue work. I do work full time so my availability during the week can be limited, especially during the day. I am available any time satrudays, sundays, and wednesdays. And I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 8am and after 6pm. I like to keep your pet's needs in mind. If they are a little more timid, then I will go slow and take the time for them to trust me. If they are active and ready to go, then we will have a fun time playing right off the bat. I will make sure I follow any directions or care instructions you leave for your pet. And I will always love and treat your pet like it is my own!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.

About: I will walk and work with your dog to teach manners with positive reinforcement. I have trained 3 danes, plus labs growing up. Lots of compliments and praises on my current pup, from former trainers! Id love to be able to pass on some of my knowledge and experience to anyone who needs help. We have a large yard, though not fenced, I will go outside with them each time to use the bathroom. This is what we always did with our dogs in the past, so that is not a new concept for us. :) I have three kids, a 11yo, 5yo, and 3yo. Your dog must be good with kids and other animals, and socialized around sounds/noises as my house is loud sometimes. Please let us enjoy your animal while you're away! Thank you much! I am available for at least three 25 minute drop in visits each week day. I could come by beginning at 9am. I'd love to help while you're away. We have one 3 year old Great Dane, neutered male. One 1.5 year old male neutered domestic cat. Both are good with other animals and children. I will love on your pets, and if appropriate allow my kiddos to partake as well, as I am also teaching them animal knowledge.

“Christy was so great with our dogs for their drop in daycare! We were on a road trip and needed a safe place for them to stay for the day. She accepted them with very short notice and has a house that is fully set up for dogs. I recommend her to anyone needing pet care around the Circleville, Ohio area.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Walnut

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 571 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Walnut. 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 Walnut 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 571 sitters in Walnut, 88% 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.
