“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request 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!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay-cation :) I felt confident with the care and love he received and would definitely like to have Charlie stay again. He cried for Christopher when we drove away which I found really endearing. Thank you!”
“Rachel and her husband are amazing! They are welcoming and you can tell they really LOVE fur babies! They took photos and kept me in the loop on how my pup was engaging with their dogs. My pup had a fun time and he was definitely tuckered out from the playtime. I will definitely book with them again! A+^”
“Diana was great! She watched Ollie, my 3 month old Australian Shepard. When I arrived she was very welcoming and spent time to discuss Ollie’s care and routine. Throughout the day she sent a lot updates and great photos of Ollie. When I picked him up, it was clear he really enjoyed spending the day with Diana. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I will certainly be booking with her 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 take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.
“Our dog was a bit separation anxiety when we moved to the area one month ago. But he has been super happy at Pissamas’ place and I could go to work without worrying about him. I am very grateful for the care help! 🙏”
“I want to give a huge thank you to Bruno and his fiancée for taking such amazing care of my husky, Nova, especially on such short notice! From the moment I reached out, Bruno’s communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. He asked about Nova’s allergies, schedule, and any personal preferences to make sure she’d feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Within the first hour, I received pictures and a video of Nova walking and playing happily with their sweet pup, Jojo. Throughout the day, Bruno continued to send updates, pictures, and videos, in total, I received 15 photos and 4 videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Nova was not only being watched, but truly cared for. They even gave her snacks and a fun new topping on her food to make her feel extra special. On top of that, Bruno made sure to update Nova’s Rover report with a detailed summary: two long walks, potty breaks, food and water intake, every detail was covered. To top it all off, at the end of the visit, Nova went home with a goody bag and so much love. It genuinely felt like she had a mini vacation of her own. 💛 If you’re looking for responsible, loving, and attentive care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Bruno and his fiancé enough. They treat your pup like family and make the whole experience stress-free and joyful. I will absolutely bring Nova back again, this is the kind of care every fur friend deserves!”
About: I used to have many dogs and experience with dogs of all sizes. All of my family members have dogs of all different breeds so I am familiar with different personalities and temperments. Dogs get a lot of attention and frequent walks. I would take them for leashed walks around the neighborhood and they can roam around indoors and outside in the fenced patio area. I am familiar with administering oral medications and applying ointments. I have a furminator and can offer bathing. I am available every day of the week including weekends. Dropoff and pickup times are flexible. I have different toys that the dogs can play with. I can follow specific care instructions for your dog. Your dog will be treated like family. I am home with my kids full time so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Pets should be good around children. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old and I do not want them to get hurt and I do not want the pets to get stressed out by the children. I have a fenced patio/yard. Lots of grassy areas outside for leashed walks. Pets are allowed on couch and in bed. Area in home for puppy pads if they are used to using those. Pets would be treated with lots of love and care as if they were our own.
About: I grew up with dogs since the wee age of four. From Rottweilers to Poodle mixes and adorable, rescue chihuahua-somethings, I have always been lucky to have a dog or two (or three) by my side. I look forward to learning the specials things you love about your pet. I start the day taking the dogs out for a walk by the Anacostia River. In the mornings I work and take my toddler to an activity before naptime at noon. The dogs go out again after work and before dinner. There is a dog park attached to our building and an even bigger one nearby. Then finish the night with a treat and a final walk outside before snuggling into snoozeville. I have crates available for smaller dogs that prefer them and many isolated spots dogs can relax solo. I also have a pen/stroller to store my toddler if I notice a dog is feeling nervous.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, relatives and clients for years. Our house is their pets’ second home when they travel or need us. I can do the same for you, too. During the weekend I am mostly home. Weekdays, I partially work from office and home. There is plenty of time to spend time with your pet or walk them frequently. My husband works from home full time, so there is always one or two adults at home. We live in a single house with a fenced backyard, and there is a big greenbelt right outside our backyard ( see images). Therefore it’s very convenient for frequent walks or play time for your pet. They can also meet other dogs as well. As a family, we are comfortable with being around furry friends. We volunteer with my daughters at a local farm cleaning, caring, patting…. Love it! Our own cat-Zeytin is very calm and friendly. We love to play, walk, cuddle, spend some quiet time with our pet and guest pets and will do the same with yours, too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Nevin
“Becky was great to work with! Every day she thoroughly filled out a care card, met our pups needs, quick to respond to messages, and flexible with pick up/drop off. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Megha and Avi are the absolute best! Barfi is icing on the cake 🙂 This was Luna’s first day care visit ever. I was anxious about how she would do without me, but Megha and Avi made her feel right at home. They kept me updated about her with pics and videos. Gave me a report when I went to pick her up which was insightful. She had such a great time, and even came home with a bandanna! I would definitely go back with them and recommend them to other pet parents”
“Robyn is great to work with. She has a lot of knowledge and awareness about dog behavior which immediately put me at ease. Lucy had an awesome time at her house.”
“Thao took such good care of Cacau. She was very sweet and kept sending pictures and videos. Cacau had a lot of fun and was super tiered from all the play time with Thao’s dogs. I really recommend Thao’s services 😊”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Alamitos is $53

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!!
Juliana did a great job watching my dogs, Frenchie and Bonnie, for the day. She even picked them up, which was super helpful. I really appreciated that she was able to walk both of them together—even with one being large and the other a small Frenchie. They were well cared for, and I felt comfortable leaving them with her. I would definitely book with her 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!
Teddy loves visiting this wonderful family, he is always well cared for and I know they love on him a lot. I have zero worries when he is with them. He has so much fun on the walks & playing ball with the kids. Communication is always quick and we get lots of fun updates and videos. Teddy can't wait to go back next time!

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.
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 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 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 2,363 sitters in Alamitos, 90% 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.
