“We love Angie and her family! They welcome our furbaby Odin into there, like one of their own. We are blessed to have found them to care for Odin, while we are away or at work!”
“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 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. We give love care attention here I have 2 loving dogs who love other animals and a big maine coone cat who loves attention and playing my kids love to help out also
“This was my first time leaving my pup Reuben with a sitter and Zoe was just the sweetest! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Reuben with her! He seemed like he had a nice, relaxing day when I picked him up which was awesome because sometimes he can be a bit nervous!”
About: My fiancée, Katrina, and I are dog lovers and own four dogs ourselves-a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Vizsla, and two Miniature Schnauzers—so we have plenty of experience with dogs big and small. We have been pet-sitting for friends and family for years and work from home so your pup will have round-the-clock company. Our house has a fully fenced backyard with a magnetic screen door so they will have access to the outside whenever they want. Our dogs also love to play with other dogs, and are very friendly and chill. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, so if your pet has medication needs, we can make sure your pup stays on schedule with whatever they need. I think you will quickly find that your dog becomes part of our family and we treat them as our own, and your pup will view their stay with us as a relaxing vacation and want to return again and again. One of us is always working from home, so there will never be a time when your pet is alone. We tend to be homebodies, and will schedule social events around the care of your pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and generally leave the backdoor open during the day so that the dogs can go in/out at their own leisure. We live in a quiet neighborhood so if your dog prefers to be walked, the neighborhood is self-contained, off the main road and fully sidewalked. Your dog will have full run of the house, and is even permitted to be on furniture! We also have a variety of dog beds and crates for whatever style your dog prefers to sleep or relax. And if your dog likes to sleep in bed—well I guess we can oblige :) We also live approximately 5 minutes from a dog park, so your pup can also go on a fun field trip while in our care (or if you prefer for them to stay at our house only, that's fine as well). We are also less than a mile from MedVet, so in case of any emergency, we can ensure your pet's medical needs are taken care of quickly.
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.
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Kieran always takes such great care of Ube!!! We love them. They were able to accommodate a doggy daycare day with very short notice and they let me drop him off super early to fit my schedule! So accommodating. Extremely helpful and I know Ube loves hanging out there. They also provide cute pics; he always looks relaxed and happy. It's a great place for him and we will definitely have him stay here again! :)”
“Jodi was great, very pleasant t, her husband as well. She treated my cuddle bug Jax like he was part of her family. Jax is very comfortable with her and always happy to see her and runs right to her. That feels so great to see as a pet parent. I was able to reach out to her whenever i needed to know how my baby pooch was doing and she sent videos. Jax just is very happy when he is there. I would definitely recommend Jodi and would definitely have her care for my baby again.”
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
“Michelle was AMAZING! We have a 3 month old puppy and she was truly incredible with him. We got tons of updates and lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend using Michelle to watch your fur baby - I will definitely be using her again!”

I will be able to follow special instructions, give medication if needed. Can’t forget to give them the snuggles they need while their parents are not there!
“Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey”
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.
“Jaz was great! I highly recommend you all book with her! This was Dinero’s first time staying with someone for a long time and he had a blast! Not only was Jaz great but her son showed my new puppy so much love! Jaz also sent me pictures within the first 30mins to an hour of his stay. She’s also very flexible too. Thank you so much Jaz! We will definitely be booking in the future!”
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.
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Walnut on Rover is $24.42 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 586 sitters in Walnut, 90% 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.
