About: I am willling to sit both large and small dogs. I have 3 cats that are friendly with dogs and mostly keep to themselves. If you want your dog walked or taken to the dog park please let me know. I am able to administer mediciation or topical creams if needed as well. I also have a child so any dog I sit will need to be ok with children. She is very good with animals and will not harass or hurt your pet as we maintain boundaries. Let me know what you need and we can work something out. I work from home so will be here all day unless I need to run errands. I am pretty flexible with my schedule if needed. I have a fenced in yard so there is plenty of room to run. When in my home pets are family so they are permitted on the couch and bed.

About: Hi! I’m a local pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I always try to match each pet’s routine so they feel at home. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs active playtime or just some calm company, I’m happy to provide whatever they need. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet you and your lovable four-legged friend! :) I am available anytime and any day to help you with all your pets needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give pets the time and attention they need. I plan my schedule to ensure I’m available for feeding, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Whether it’s daily visits or extended care, I’m able to provide steady attention and maintain their normal routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I look forward to and naturally incorporate into my week When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet has. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I keep their space clean (including litter boxes or food areas) and make sure they always have fresh water. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed—and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Whitaker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Whitaker 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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.

To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
