“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Diego and Amelia did a wonderful job with our Scotty. They treated him like their own dog. And their own dogs were very friendly and played with Scotty, made him feel at home. Your dog will be in great hands with them!”
“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”
“Kristin is amazing! She responds quickly, sends the cutest picture updates, and our pups were very well taken care of (and had lots of fun). It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have chosen Kristin - her professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease quickly, and I would highly recommend!”
About: We are a husband and wife who would love to care for your fur babies! We recently had to put down our senior husky, which leaves our 7 year old lab by herself. We would love to watch your pets in our home to give her a playmate, or we can come to you! We have a large yard on a quiet street and a toddler who loves all dogs! Ever since she learned how to wave, she has waved at every dog she has ever seen. We are available for drop in visits as well. We are currently available on a full-time basis to board in our home. We can do drop in visits as scheduled! My husband and I work together to make sure your pets are taken care of. We are happy to do whatever it takes to make your pet comfortable. We can accommodate any feeding needs, walking needs, crate or no crate is okay with us! Pets are allowed on the furniture in our home as well.

“Rachael was so flexible when our schedules changed and was very accommodating to our pet’s needs. So great to see how excited Pearl is when she sees Rachael!! ❤️ thank you so much Rachael!”
“You can tell that Maranda is very attentive and cares about the pooches, and Benny loves her! She has a big backyard with lots of playthings that dogs can run around in, especially with all the snow! Other customers appear to like her too since there have another dog or three that she’s watching whenever I drop Benny off. I like that Benny can play with other dogs (and her daughters!) without the chaos of a commercial daycare center. Maranda also sends pictures throughout the day which put my concerned parent heart at ease. I booked daycare with Maranda twice last week and dropped off Benny again today. Five star complements and no complaints. Chalk me up as a returning client.”
“My very high-energy puppy had an absolute blast playing with dog friends and splashing in the water all day! Very grateful that she was enjoying her day while I was at work!”
“Alessandra is simply the best sitter we’ve had for our Frenchie, Paris. I can’t recommend her enough! She put us and Paris at ease right from the start and worked with us even on short notice. We are so grateful. Paris, played all evening with the other puppies and Alessandra sent pics to keep us updated. We will definitely take her there again soon.”
“Shona and her family were amazing! Our dogs have never been to daycare and never boarded, but they loved it. Shona sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs is afraid of everything, but she was happy and comfortable enough to nap on their sofa. And Shona was not even upset that we arrived early and woke her up, lol! We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. We would recommend Shona to anyone.”
“Manu was AMAZING with Gracie. She was in contact many times during the day with pictures and assured me that Gracie was doing great! I feel blessed to have met someone like Manu - I will always entrust her with Gracie’s care. Thank you Manu!❤️🐶”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have helped train my family dog. Family and friends have relied on me to help walk, feed, and play with their pets ever since I was little. I’m currently a senior at William and Mary. I am available all day Friday through Sunday and any time past 2:00 pm Monday through Thursday. I am very flexible with my timing and have lots of time to spend with pets! I will be living in dorms that do not allow pets. For that reason I can not do over night pet sitting at my residence. I’m open to all other possibilities!
“Thank you for taking such good care of Maisie! The communication with Sarah was excellent she was always quick with responding and super flexible with drop off and pick up time. Would definitely recommend Sarah!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Yerkes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,493 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Yerkes. 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 Yerkes 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 2,493 sitters in Yerkes, 86% 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.
