“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”
“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years. My husband and 3 kids also love being around and caring for animals. I have regularly pet sat for friends for many years. I am a stay at home mom. I am home alone during the day, picking up my kids from school at 3:30 Monday - Friday. A few days a week I am required to drop my kids off at soccer practice after school. I have a fenced one acre property. I have an adult golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with cats. I have a large crate if needed as well.
About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .
About: I've had a lifelong passion for working with dogs and cats, and I've spent the past eight years dedicated to the pet industry. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to seniors. Whether it's feeding, potty walks, playtime, or grooming, I have extensive experience and a deep love for caring for furry friends. I’m excited to share my expertise with your pet! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have an open schedule and am not working full-time elsewhere. This allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pet, ensuring they get the attention, playtime, and routine they need throughout the day! In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and enjoy their time with me. I also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure their routine stays consistent. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by maintaining their usual routines, whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or playtime. I provide plenty of attention, love, and care while ensuring your home remains safe and tidy. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“I highly recommend Julie! She is wonderful! She takes such great care of my dog LuLu. She’s kind, patient and so sweet! Julie is also so accommodating and responsive! Lulu loves visiting Julie and her family and comes home so calm and happy!”
“Betty was great with Bron. He loved hanging out with her for the day. He was sad to leave to her when we picked him up. Betty has a spacious fenced in outdoor area that Bron loved exploring. He wiped when we picked him up. Would definitely go back to Betty again!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I'm reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I'm comfortable with crate training, and special routines—and I always keep you updated with photos and messages! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m home and available to meet their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm environment and stick to their routine. I’m always attentive, secure with gates and leashes, and keep you updated with regular check-ins.
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Copper had lots of fun! They sent me tons of videos of him playing all day long. He was definitely tired when we got home! I will definitely be using them again for daycare!”
“Erica is fantastic ! We were initially concerned about leaving our 5 month old puppy Lola for one week, but Erica quickly disseminated our concerns by demonstrating her knowledge and experience of dogs/puppies. She understands their needs and is good at meeting those needs. Our high energy, stubborn puppy learned how to "sit" under Erica's care! Need I say more ! Erica also provided us with daily updates/photos which really helped us enjoy our vacation without any concerns. When we arrived home, it was obvious that Lola too was pleased with Erica.”
About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. Sadly, she passed away in April, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I’m also available for boarding and overnight care, either in my home or yours. I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I am in the San Diego area currently working a remote job, looking to spend some quality time with dogs who need all the TLC they deserve but can’t get while their owners are away. I’m available for pet sitting, walking, and drop-ins! I’ve always grown up with a family dog in the house who I absolutely adored and have an undeniable love for all animals. I’d be available for last-minute help and cancellations are fine with me as well, so long as I’m given a heads up in an appropriate time in advance. I am a trustworthy, honest, and very reliable person. If you pick me to do the job, your pet would be in great hands and I would never let you down!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Alpine Heights on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,973 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alpine Heights. 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 Alpine Heights 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 2,973 sitters in Alpine Heights, 85% 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.
