“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
About: I have taken care of my grandsons sick cat by giving medication when needed. I have cared for my neighbors cat. I have brought their cats into my house so I could keep an ee on them. I am a retired grandma that believes all pets should be spoiled with love. I love all animals and am very excited for this opportunity to house them. I have a nice size fenced backyard with lots of shade. I have a lot of free time to give to other pets. Dogs are the love of my life and I am so very happy to help them, love them, feed them and play with them. I think it will be exciting to watch other pets.
“Erin was fantastic with my dog! He loves being outside and Erin has a ton of property for Ollie (my dog) to explore and a pond that he loves to swim in. She’s always watching the dogs so I know he’s safe and in good hands. If you have a dog that likes to be outside or just wants to be loved on then I highly recommend Erin. My dog is very particular about who he trusts and has some separation anxiety but he is so comfortable with her. Erin treats my dog as if he were her own and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for him.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
About: I worked at Camp Bow Wow for a while and have taken care of many types of dogs. I have a cat that is around my dogs I take care of train and play with my dogs daily and make sure they are always happy and safe. I am free to take care of any fur babies I treat any animal as it was my own, I love pets and have taken care of many types, and they all seem to connect with me
“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
“Mackenzie was amazing, she took my booking last minute for my pup. Her dogs got along incredibly with mine. She will be who I move forward with, should I need someone to watch my pup. Highly recommend!”
“Naji is very caring and attentive to my dog, Tucker. He loves going to her home and I know he gets great care while he's there. I highly recommend Naji to anyone needing care for their pet.”
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”
“Alaina did us a solid with a short notice daysitting opportunity. We needed someone to watch our two girlz while we were engaged during an out of town trip. She sent us several pictures and two of her sons helped watch the girlz and walked them out to us when we picked up. The boys were very polite and the girlz seemed to like them a lot.”
“Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job to check off. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, or just giving them attention and comfort while you’re away. I work from home mainly. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. My home has a fully secured fenced yard where pets can safely play, get their energy out, and I have extra kennels available if needed.
“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Erin and John were spectacular with our dog. He got lots of exercise and fun romps with another pup about his same size. Erin had enrichment toys along with other doggie toys. We'll definitely be going back!”
“Jaqueline was very nice and welcoming to us. We had no worries at all leaving Pepsi at her home. She also sent cute pictures for us that we greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Wood Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 300 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wood Heights. 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 Wood Heights 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 MO 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 300 sitters in Wood Heights, 89% 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.
