“Our puppy loved Patricia! She is very reliable and trustworthy. She took the time to teach our puppy how to sit, worked on walking on a leash, took out our trash, and even brought her own broom to sweep up any mulch the puppy may have brought in. We finally feel like we found a great petsitter for Honey and will be booking with her again!”
“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”
“Elizabeth was great with Benji, she took pictures, and he came home tired and loved. He really enjoyed his time with Elizabeth and Mary Jane, we can’t wait to come back!”
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”
“Kieran and Nicole were fantastic with Cheddar and super at communicating and letting us know how he was doing and easing our worry over our fuzzy baby boy! Cheddar was happy and went right with Nicole no problem when we dropped him off and was perfect when we picked him back up. We will defiantly have them watch Cheddar again in the future and highly recommend them to others as well! Thank you both for loving and caring for Cheddar so well today, we truly appreciate it! ❤️”
“Travis is great with our dog Scarlett! She has so much fun with him and his pup Ginger. He makes a comfortable environment for her and she able to relax despite her relatively high anxiety levels. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing someone to care for their dog.”
“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”
“Simon was amazing with Hazel! He kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. Hazel came home worn out from all the fun she had at Simon’s. We’re incredibly grateful for his patience, especially since Hazel is still learning her manners after we adopted her from the shelter a few months ago. Simon even went the extra mile by helping teach her commands. He’s been wonderful, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him for care again in the future.”
About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Jodi and her family are lovely!!! They are those people who you meet and you instantly feel good around and about them. They radiate positivity and compassion. Jodi and her family are so sweet and you can tell how much they care for your pups. I joked that their yard is like an all inclusive resort for dogs! Everything was clean, and they take safety very seriously. Mosie had such a fun time and it feels so good to know I have them as an option when I’m in town visiting my parents! Honestly, I would make the 2hr drive to bring Mosie for boarding because knowing she is safe and cared for is priceless.”
“This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have years of hands-on experience caring for both. I regularly cat sit for friends, including senior cats who require specialized food and medication, and I’m very comfortable following detailed care routines. I’m patient and encouraging with dogs and focus on calm, consistent care. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, my goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care so both you and your pets feel comfortable and supported. *Open to all species! Pet care is a consistent and important part of my week. I schedule regular walks, visits, and check-ins at times that work best for each pet’s routine. When caring for cats, I follow their feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and provide quiet companionship. Dogs get attentive walks or playtime, with plenty of patience and encouragement. I prioritize consistency, so pets feel safe, comfortable, and supported while their owners are away. I treat every home and pet with care and respect. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and routines, and I make sure to keep the space clean and secure. I provide companionship, walks, and attention as needed, always prioritizing the pet’s comfort and safety.
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and two friendly cats in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!
“Clayton is the perfect sitter. Me and my family came to do a meet and greet. He introduced his dogs to my pup one by one, LOVED that. My pup has anxiety due to being a rescue so that was PERFECT. My pup is a big dog but he is extremely kind and friendly, he just doesn’t know his size so he can be a little rough with smaller animals unintentionally and Clayton was very understanding with that. I love that Clayton works in the veterinary field and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup with him. After the meet and greet AND his daycare stay my pup was EXHAUSTED. He got just what he needed, a day full of play and socializing. Thanks again Clayton and family! Blanco says he will see his daycare teachers soon! 🐾”
“Dexter enjoyed his time with Sydney and her beagle. He showed no hesitancy when I dropped him off each morning, so I know he was treated well. I enjoyed Sydney's messages and pictures to me of Dexter.”

Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
Our Riley had a great first time meeting Travis and Ginger. We did a Meet and Greet the week before, then did a full day before we let Riley stay for 4 nights. It was wonderful. Travis is a great host. Nice home and large backyard for the dogs to run around and get to know each other. As a pet parent, we have no concerns and are looking forward to seeing pictures of Riley’s week of fun.
Hallie is an amazing sitter! She brought me so much peace of mind from the second I met her! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and I will definitely be using Hallie again. Her home is clean and set up perfectly for dog care. Thank you Hallie! Love, Stephanie & Luna 🐶🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Zimmer on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Zimmer 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 632 sitters in Zimmer, 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.
