About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2008, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also provided trusted dog sitting for family and friends over the years, treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'm passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also. My husband works from home and I too am home mostly. It will be very rare when your pup is left alone in our house and if it is the case I am comfortable crating or leaving your pup to have the run of the house if that is what you would prefer. I have a neighborhood filled with sidewalks where many, many dogs walk so the sniffing is a must! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also.

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Alamelu and her family are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of my dog, Pepper, for the day. She sent me pictures and updates, took him for walks, and made sure that he was comfortable in their home. Pepper came home very happy and tired out :) This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I truly cannot recommend Alamelu enough! When we are away, I will definitely have Alamelu take care of Pepper.”
“Communicated very well with us, our dog has some special needs and requires medication and Susan was very accommodating with that. Our pup is a little timid and enjoys cuddling and she and her husband both made sure our pup was comfortable.”
“Stephanie does amazing with my two dogs, including one being a young puppy! She is very kind and communicates often with many pictures. Definitely recommend Stephanie!”

“Takia was amazing with my pup. She sent update pictures and kept me updated on how well he was doing. He absolutely loved the other little pup she was watching.”
“Melanie took absolutely wonderful care of my puppy! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She clearly has a lot of experiences caring for animals and treated my puppy with the utmost care and respect. She cared for him as if he was her own, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands for the day. She went above and beyond. I really can’t say enough good things, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animal. I will definitely book Melanie again!!”
“Alexandria is the best dog-sitter. This is our first time using Rover. She just really took care of our dog. She sent photos and even gave her a toy. We will definitely go to her again”
About: I offer a premium pet sitting/walking experience because of my hands on experience in many different dog environments. I have trained service dogs through 4 Paws for Ability, worked in a busy dog daycare, volunteered in shelters, and competed in agility. These experiences help me understand behavior, manage different energy levels, and support dogs with unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and attentive to every detail of your dog’s routine. I also make communication a priority and provide frequent updates, photos, and notes so you always feel connected to your dog while you are away. If you choose to trust me with your dog, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and caring hands. I work remotely so I am able to offer drop in and dog walking services weekdays before 8:45 AM, during my lunch break most days, and after 4:30 PM. I also have availability most weekends. For select dogs, I may consider overnight or weekday daycare in my own home on a case-by-case basis, dependent on my own dogs getting along with yours and the behavior of your dog(s) - must be house trained and non-destructive. I would only take dog(s) from ONE client in home at a time (in addition to my own two dogs). Please reach out to discuss this further. The safety and health of your pets is my number one priority. From shifting to indoor activities on days when the temperature is dangerously hot to double checking that the harness/collar is fitted properly before going outside, I do everything in my power to keep your dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, positive reinforcement is the foundation of how I train and interact with animals. I use it with my own dogs and with the service dogs I’ve helped train, and I’m happy to continue that approach with your pets. This means no yelling, “punishing”, or other harsh corrective methods will be used.
“Thank you, Michael, for keeping our pup for the day! We enjoyed the photos and videos throughout her day and how happy she looked. I can tell she had fun playing and was loved in your care! We’ll definitely be back!”
“Christine was great! She was very prompt on communication, sent updates on our dog, and had a nice family of dogs that were very well mannered and social with our fog. Would highly Reccomended her!!”
About: I’ve always had a multitude of pets ranging from birds, to dogs and cats, and crustaceans. I’m the perfect go to for all of your pet needs. Ever since I was 8 I have been pet sitting, bathing and grooming, as well as learning the basics to developing great relationships with animals. This journey is one of the main factors that has led me to going to college for Veterinary studies. Currently I am a student at The Ohio State University with a focus on Pre-Vet! Currently, my hours of availability begin at 6 am and usually end around 6pm for dog waking services. For drop in visits and stay in visits, I have open availability. In my clients home I make sure to never go beyond my parameters and to always care for the pet in the most comfortable and effortless way possible. I am very experienced with dog walking and ensuring that the walks are both productive and fun for both me and your pet. This includes casual jogs, sightseeing (nature) walks, and walks suited for older or handicapped animals. As for feeding, I always make sure to give your pet the desired amount that you have given to me to make sure that no over feeding happens, and treats are only given upon authorization from owners.
About: Hello, my name is Summer, and I am a dedicated animal caregiver with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I also grew up helping care for animals on my grandfather’s farm in Missouri, which helped foster my deep passion and respect for animal care. I am experienced in administering vaccines, providing oral medications, and performing basic wound care. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive, loving, and responsible care at all times. Boarding Policies: • I do not accept pit bull–type dogs for boarding. • Drop-offs and pick-ups must occur within the agreed-upon time window. • A $25 late fee will apply if you are more than 30 minutes late for drop-off without prior approval. • If your dog is not dropped off by 8:00 PM, you will need to either wait until the next business day for drop-off or cancel the booking on your end, which may be subject to cancellation fees according to platform policy. • Owners are required to provide their dog’s food for the duration of their stay to help maintain consistency in their diet and avoid digestive upset. If food is not provided, a $30 supply fee will be added to the booking to cover food provided during their stay. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting me with your pets. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every animal in my care. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home throughout the day to provide constant supervision, companionship, and care. Your dog or cat will never be left alone for extended periods. In my home, we have two cats, Onyx and Teddy, a Standard Poodle named Morty, as well as frogs and a hamster. All pets are well cared for and accustomed to being around other animals. For safety and comfort, dogs are crated at bedtime and during the rare occasions when no one is home. Crating helps ensure a secure environment and peace of mind for both pets and owners. You are welcome to bring your own crate or playpen if preferred, and I also have extras available. Please feel free to let me know if you have any concerns or special requests regarding crating.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walton Hills
Great experience. We were here from out of town when my husband was hospitalized unexpectedly. We had our dog with us and I wasn't sure what to do. It was way too cold ti leave her in the car. Our doctor recommended Rover. We connected with Taylor and it took all the worry and stress away. Taylor is kind caring and sweet. She went above and beyond to make our situation better. Bella loved Taylor and her family and next time we are in town we will connect with her again. Happy I found out about Rover.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Walton Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 639 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Walton Hills. 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 Walton Hills 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 639 sitters in Walton Hills, 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.
