I had an amazing experience with Rachel watching my 1 year old dog, Dash, this past Wednesday. From the start, Rachel was professional, friendly, and attentive to Dash's needs. This was our first experience with Rover and doggy daycare. She helped us with navigating the app. Rachel even sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Dash was clearly happy and relaxed when I got home, which is the best sign of a great dog sitter. I highly recommend Rachel.

It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.

Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!

About: A life long animal lover, I've had a variety of pets throughout the past twenty years. I have cared for, trained and loved horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodents. I majored in Biology in college and took several animal science classes. I was a horseback riding instructor for summer camp in college, and have volunteered with different animal rescue orgs over the years. I currently work from home which gives me increased flexibility to provide care and attention to your pets. I enjoy getting out during the day to go for walks or romps around the yard to get some fresh air and exercise. I will treat your pet as I do my own, with kindness, compassion and lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and also will take the pets for a daily walk (dogs) to give them a change of scenery and additional exercise. I do have a 6 month pup that loves all animals and will be a great playmate. I also will provide regular updates and pictures for those clients who desire them.

About: We will spoil your pups as if they are our own! I work from home and my husband and daughter are also home in the evenings. You can rest assured your pet will have plenty of attention from our family and from our dogs. We have used Rover services many times ourselves and we know that leaving your dog in the care of others can make you feel nervous. We will be certain to send pics and/or videos to keep you update on the well being of your loved one(s). Our dogs will love and love on your dog. As I work from home I have a lot of availability and flexibility to fit your schedule! We have a fenced in yard with dog door access. Your dogs will have as much access to the inside, or outside as you or they would prefer. Our two friendly pups will love to play either way.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had a golden retriever, Yorkshire terrier and beagle lab mix. I recently lost my 17 year old cava-poo. I’m currently working part time and have Mondays and Fridays available to help you out any way I can. Weekends are also flexible for your needs. I have a fenced in backyard to keep your dog safe. I also have a large crate inside if needed. My cat is super friendly and gets along with all pets.

About: Hi! I grew up on a hobby farm of sorts - chickens, goats, calves, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional injured wild bird or rabbit. I have since moved around, explored the country, and landed here in Henry County. During my trvels, I voluntered at many shelters as well as adopted 5 dogs who have sinced crossed the rainbow bridge. I now have two big squishy pups who love traveling and soaking up rays of sunshine. I work from home during the week and have a few home depot shifts on the weekend. I work from home during the week and home depot on the weekends. We like going for morning and evening walks along with some rolling around in the back yard over lunch. This will depend on the pet and his/her personality. I have many ways of separating animals should it be needed. Or, if wveryone is getting along, we have a nice big back ars for playtime and wrastling.

About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m a former nurse and now a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion extends to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. As someone who is home throughout the day, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.

About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.

About: I’m a college student who genuinely loves staying active and spending time with animals. Walking dogs, playing outside, and giving pets lots of attention is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I’m responsible, reliable, and make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while sticking to their usual routines. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and always bring positive energy and care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy starting or ending my days with dog walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I’m able to plan my classes and activities around consistent care times. This flexibility allows me to be dependable, attentive, and fully present with every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect routines, and keep pets in familiar, stress-free environments. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, monitor behavior closely, and provide a calm, loving presence. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every home and pet with respect, responsibility, and care.

Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.

About: I care for dogs by keeping them on a consistent routine and paying close attention to their individual needs. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, and safe, supervised play time. I follow feeding instructions exactly, keep water fresh, and maintain clean food and water bowls. I also watch for behavior or appetite changes and communicate anything important right away. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I take time to build trust so dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether a dog is high-energy or laid-back, I adjust my approach to match their personality. As an active duty Army service member and lifelong dog owner since age 15, I bring reliability, structure, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my job is only about 15 minutes from my apartment, so I can return home quickly if needed. My spouse works from home, so pets in my care are supervised 24/7. I’m an Active Guard/Reserve service member and typically work one weekend per month — I plan all pet care commitments around that schedule. I’m up daily at 4:30 AM and keep a very structured routine, so feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and exercise schedules are followed consistently. I also have a home camera system to monitor pets throughout the day. On most weekends, I spend the day out and active with my own dog, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise. You may notice my rates are on the lower end. that’s by design! I keep my prices affordable and let my work speak for itself. If you feel I went above and beyond, a tip is how I know I nailed it. No pressure at all, but it means the world when people show their appreciation that way. I’m committed to giving your pet the best care possible regardless! I provide a safe, structured, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like family. Pets in my care are allowed to comfortably roam the home and are not kept in a crate all day. I have an American Bully in the home who is friendly and fully up to date on all vaccinations. All dogs are kept on leash during outdoor time for safety. I keep the home clean, remove hazards, and maintain fresh water and feeding areas daily. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. I also use a home camera system to monitor pets when I step out. While I don’t normally crate dogs, I can crate your pet if needed or if that is your preference.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waterville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waterville on Rover is $31.69 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 126 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waterville. 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 Waterville 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 126 sitters in Waterville, 87% 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.
