“Elaine was great and caring. My pup always feels anxious when she is in a new environment and with new people. Elaine did her best so that Daisy felt good like at home. She took a great care of my dog. I’m very thankful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her!”
“I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!”
About: I have had fur babies all my life. I love all types of animals. I have had little dogs and great danes and loved and trained them all. Every one is special in their own way. I'm currently retired and available any time, to play and take care of your fur baby. Available week days and weekends. I'm here when needed. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior guy to play with your pup. I will also come to your home as often as needed to care for your dog as needed.
About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.
About: Devoted Dog Lover with a Lifetime of Experience About Me: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog enthusiast who’s had the joy of sharing my life with furry friends for as long as I can remember. Recently, I said a heartfelt goodbye to my beloved companion of 18 years, with whom I shared countless adventures and daily walks. This experience has deepened my understanding and compassion for dogs of all ages and needs. My Approach: I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, offering them the same love, care, and attention that I provided to my own pet. My approach is grounded in patience, understanding, and a keen awareness of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, leisurely strolls, or just some cozy cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Experience: Throughout my life, I’ve nurtured and cared for several dogs, each with their own special quirks and requirements. I’m experienced in handling a range of breeds, temperaments, and age groups. My recent 18-year journey with my senior dog has especially equipped me to understand the gentle care and patience needed for older pets. Services Offered: • Daily walks (with a keen sense for your dog’s preferred pace and distance) • Feeding and medication administration, if required • Regular updates and photos to assure you of your pet’s well-being • Lots of love, play, and attention • Experience in caring for senior dogs Closing Note: I’m excited to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same warmth and affection that’s been a cornerstone of my life. Your dog’s happiness and safety will always be my top priority! Pet care is an integral and cherished part of my daily routine. Since I’m retired, I have the flexibility and time to dedicate to the pets I care for. My days are structured around ensuring that the dogs in my care receive all the attention and activity they need. Morning: My day typically starts with a morning walk, which I find is a great way to help the dogs get some fresh air and exercise first thing in the day. It’s also a peaceful time for them to explore and enjoy the quieter hours. Midday: Throughout the day, I ensure they have plenty of playtime, whether it’s in the backyard or inside with toys. I’m always attentive to their need for interaction and mental stimulation. Afternoon: In the afternoon, we usually go for another walk. This is a longer one, where we can explore local parks or walking trails, allowing the dogs to experience new sights and smells. Evening: As the day winds down, I focus on quieter activities like cuddling or gentle play, ensuring the dogs are calm and relaxed. Evening is also the time for dinner and any needed medications. Night: Before bedtime, there’s a short walk or a quick backyard visit, so the dogs are comfortable through the night. Throughout the day, I’m attentive to the dogs’ needs for food, water, and bathroom breaks. I also ensure they have a comfortable and safe space to rest. Being home most of the day allows me to provide constant companionship and supervision, ensuring that the dogs in my care are not just looked after, but also loved and cherished. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home, is done with utmost attention to their comfort, safety, and happiness. My approach is tailored to each pet’s individual needs and preferences, ensuring they feel loved and secure in their environment. In My Home: • Safe Environment: I ensure my home is pet-proofed, with no hazards and plenty of cozy, comfortable spots for them to rest. • Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for meals, walks, and playtime, which helps pets feel secure and settled. • Play and Exercise: I provide plenty of playtime and exercise, tailored to the pet’s energy level and health. • Affection: I believe in plenty of cuddles and affection to make them feel at home. • Supervision: Continuous supervision is provided, ensuring their safety at all times. In Clients’ Homes: • Respect for the Home: I am meticulous about respecting the client’s space, ensuring it’s kept clean and secure. • Following Instructions: I strictly adhere to the pet care instructions provided by the client, respecting their routines and rules. • Updates: Regular updates with photos are sent to the client, keeping them connected with their pet’s activities and well-being. • Emergency Preparedness: I am prepared and informed about the pet’s needs and local veterinary services in case of an emergency. Common to Both: • Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on the pet’s health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns. • Hydration and Nutrition: Ensuring regular access to fresh water and feeding them as per their dietary requirements. • Medication Administration: If needed, I am experienced in administering medications. My goal is to provide a loving, fun, and safe experience for pets, giving them the care and attention they would receive from their own families.

“I felt very confident that Gordon was in good hands with Melissa and Dan! I loved seeing all the pics and know, even with his anxiety, that he warmed up to their kindness and patience. Would absolutely use their services again 🙏🏼”
“Castillo was great and very communicative and flexible! Kosby seemed to have enjoyed himself, came home safe in one piece and tired! We ended up having to set up the next day since my work schedule was so unpredictable, so Castillo’s flex to accommodate me was very appreciated! Looking forward to future times for Kosby to stay with Castillo soon!”
“My dog loves this sitter! The second time I took him for pet sitting he was so excited that he didn’t noticed me leave, even though with most sitters he whines a lot when he is dropped off. Our puppy has LOVED being watched by their family. We will continue to use them whenever we need someone to watch Wookiee.”
“We used Tara as our dog sitter while visiting Sesame Place today. She was absolutely fantastic. We spoke back and forth via text the week before and even several times the day before the visit. She is so accommodating and even let me change our date to the following day at the very last minute. My children were VERY nervous and crying about leaving our pups with a stranger and she assured them she would take great care of them and even sent us several pictures during the visit with messages for the kids. It made the trip to Sesame so much easier! As a mama, that meant the most!! I will definitely use here again next time we come to Pa to visit family. And my pups were clean and happy when I picked them up. Thanks Tara.”

I had 2 other pet sitters cancel on me before I found Kathleen. She was a lifesaver. She was willing to watch Gia and Ghira with little notice. She was so easy to communicate with. She sent me multiple pictures during their time at her house. I would highly recommend Kathleen. She was awesome!
Holly is an outstanding Rover sitter, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She communicates so easily and warmly, and she genuinely welcomes my dog, Poet, as if Poet were part of her own family. Holly has her own wonderfully awesome dog, Sully, who is super welcoming to Poet, and Holly’s entire household goes out of their way to make sure Poet feels at home and cared for throughout the day while I’m at work. What stands out most is that Holly clearly does this out of genuine love for caring for dogs, not for the money. In fact, she could easily charge twice her current rate and would still be providing exceptional value. Knowing that Poet is in such a safe, happy, and nurturing environment gives me complete peace of mind. I’m truly grateful to have connected with Holly, and I look forward to continuing to book with her. She’s exactly the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Yellowood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Yellowood on Rover is $36.63 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 2,519 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Yellowood. 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 Yellowood 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 PA 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 2,519 sitters in Yellowood, 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.
