“Jessa took amazing care of my sweet puppy for two long days. They seemed to have a wonderful time and I knew she was in good hands! We’ll definitely be back soon!”
“Ling & Ming took amazing care of Cherri! We had a meet and greet beforehand since it was Cherris first rover. They have a lovely home with a spacious yard for the dogs to run. She got along really well with Woosha, who was very gentle and friendly. We received so many pictures during the visit. Cherri had so much fun. We’d love to book with them again :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.
“I am so happy Enzo got to spend time with Anusha. He was such a happy tired boy, by the time I picked him up he was ready for a long nap. She did a fantastic job providing me with videos of him playing in her beautiful backyard, snuggling and napping. And really happy she had another dog for Enzo to play with. She walked him and played fetch. I would absolutely give Anusha five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ she was also very friendly and nice. 👍 I am sure Enzo will be happy to be dropped off to be puppy-sat again sometime soon.”
“Nikhila is amazing and we are very happy that we found excellent care for Mika. I would look no further for future day care needs. Nikhila is timely to respond and kept us constantly updated. A sign that Mika had great time was Mika came home happy and feeling not tired. Nikhila was quick to understand our dog’s personality and from the pictures I could tell Mika had great time.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience in pet care, my journey began with taking care of my family's senior dog. I was responsible for feeding, walking, and administering medication, ensuring his well-being in his golden years. I later got my own dog and managed all aspects of her care, including training. Now, as she enjoys her senior years, I continue to provide her with attentive and loving care. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog walking and watching for neighbors since my teenage years. My deep love for dogs and extensive experience sets me apart, particularly in managing the needs of senior dogs and providing effective training. Your furry friends will be in trusted and compassionate hands. As a freelancer with open availability, I have the flexibility to prioritize pet care in my daily and weekly routine. My passion for animals allows me to seamlessly integrate caring for pets into my schedule, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need whenever required. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I adhere to any specific instructions provided by the owner, ensuring consistency in feeding, exercise, and medication routines. I create a comfortable and stress-free environment for the pets by maintaining their usual surroundings and routines. Additionally, I provide regular updates to the owners, offering peace of mind and building trust. My goal is to ensure each pet feels loved, secure, and happy while under my care.
“Trishalee was amazing. She saved me in a last minute pinch when I needed someone to watch my senior, deaf, and blind baby. She sent photos and was super kind and flexible. My baby came back happy, calm, tail wagging, relaxed—which says it all. I would absolutely trust her again. Thank you Trishalee!! From me & Mazel :)”
About: My dog is like a part of the family and I will treat all dogs the same as I would my own dog. The dog owners can feel comfortable leaving their dog overnight with a caring and loving person. I'm currently working during the day but my family members are here at home so we can take care of dogs during the week and I'm available on weekends typically with advance notice, preferably 3 days or 1 week before the arrival date. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly dog. The dogs can play in my yard and they can sleep in the living room on the couch or in a crate.
“We needed a sitter for the day and conveniently found Regina available. Our Husky seemed to fit in immediately with his new family since he got so much attention as soon as we arrived. He didn’t seem too excited to being picked up either. Thank you Regina!”
“Michelle was able to accommodate my last minute request and was responsive. My puppy had a great time with her and she was communicative and made me feel comfortable. I will be booking with her again.”

About: I learned dog/cat care from my grandmother. She taught me her special side of respecting and caring the animals no matter what kind. I have had a dog for 14 years of my life, his name was Panda. I am very excited to board dogs in my home and give them a healthy and playful environment. I am also excited to take them on long walks. I volunteered at Aurora Animal Shelter for 2 years and learnt to give behavioural training for kittens/cats. I fostered more than 6 cats apart from my own 2 cats for the past 1 year. I currently work from home. I am available to walk your dog every 2 hours if needed. Also, I can feed meds to your cat if required. I want to give your pet the special attention it needs. I can accommodate my schedule according to your pet's demands. I promise to give them a happy and peaceful environment.
“My 12-year-old dog was in great hands! Amy was patient, caring, and kept me updated while I was at work, which gave me peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves dogs and cares for their well being, I highly recommend Amy!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, giving me over 15 years of hands-on experience with pets. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary and Biomedical Science, which has provided me with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and well-being. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced in daily pet care, feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing changes in pets’ behavior or health. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I am having my break right now, and I got lots of time to play with dogs and take care of them. Definitely walk them and play outside for a long time. we have free yard in front of the apartment so dogs get enough space to stay where they wants, we also have dogs park nearby.

Ling & Ming took amazing care of Cherri! We had a meet and greet beforehand since it was Cherris first rover. They have a lovely home with a spacious yard for the dogs to run.

Megha and Avi’s family took wonderful care of Daisy yesterday! They were patient and respectful of Daisy’s nervousness around other dogs by keeping their dog Barfi near them while giving Daisy time to explore. And true to what they said, Barfi is so sweet natured and goood! He and Daisy had a peaceful day together, Barfi taking the cue that it was enough for Daisy to share the space but not ready to play together. I got so many pictures - Megha is an amazing photographer! - that I was truly put at ease throughout the day. Looks like Daisy got lots of kind attention because she was smiling in several of the pictures and came home in such a happy mood! Communication & Scheduling:100% responsive and clear. Thank you Megha, Avi and family - and of course to Barfi too!
Romeo enjoyed his day with Melissa, Vaughan and Beanie! Melissa was easygoing and caring, she even went above and beyond with extra long walks and potty breaks for him. She sent updates throughout the day, which was appreciated. Beanie’s house was very pet friendly, and Beanie was cute and well-trained as well :) Thank you!
Sandra was absolutely great. She was able to take a last-minute booking and was able to accommodate Teddy even an hour later than I originally expected to be. She was a great communicator always responding very quickly and Teddy had a great time over there. Teddy immediately felt comfortable and he went for a great walk. I will definitely be calling Sandra again.
I've booked multiple times with Christopher this year for day care. It's been great having Christopher watch them. He always makes sure they are well and having fun. I was nervous at first leaving them with a sitter but Christopher makes them feel at home to the point they don't want to leave 😆. Highly recommend and will book again!!
Eun Jung took in Muffy at last minute for daycare and appreciate her being responsive and giving us regular updates . She worked around our schedules , early drop off and Muffy was super excited seeing her again - always comforting for Pet parents to see that . Thanks for taking care of our little one !
We’ve been bringing Samson for play dates with Nala and occasional boarding, and the experience has been incredible. Samson is high energy and really needed more structured socialization, Nala and Gabriella work as a team and they have been beyond perfect for him. Gabriela is so experienced and accommodating. She sends frequent updates and photos. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and you can tell the dogs are part of the family. The dogs play so nicely together, and my golden comes home happy, tired, and calm every time. He even acts depressed on days we don’t come over because he misses Nala and Gabriela so much. I’m almost hesitant to leave such a good review because I want to keep Gabriela and Nala to myself — but they absolutely deserve it. We’re so grateful to have found them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Alamitos is $49 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $70 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Alamitos 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,373 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 CA 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
