“Thank you Rachel for the great communication! Both drop off and pick up went super smooth. Our dog, Leila, looked like she had a great time with you! Thank you for sending those sweet pictures of walks and fun play time with your doggie, Ellie. We will definitely request to have Leila stay with you again. :)”
“Kathy is absolutely amazing. We did a trial run because we r getting ready to go on a long vacation. She is so loving and sincerely cares. She has a wonderful dog of her own which my two frenchies loved. Plus she has a fenced in yard which is so important and makes me feel safe for my furries. It will be nice for the first time to go on vacation and not worry about my most adoring loves.”
“Melissa was wonderful with my puppy Lucas. She sent updates and pictures of him throughout the day and provided excellent care. I will definitely be booking with Melissa in the future, she's terrific!!”
“Ollie enjoyed the stay with Nayla. I got multiple pictures and videos during the stay. There were a few dogs at Nayla’s place on the same day. Nayla and her partner made sure Ollie was safe and had fun with other dogs.”
About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.
“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for my pup, Wilson! She was so kind and easygoing and Wilson had so much fun going on a hike and playing with her new puppy all afternoon:) It was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that he was safe and getting some good exercise while I was away! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a daytime dog sitter.”
About: I provide highly capable, active care for mountain dogs. My shepherd maremma mix, Lumi, and I hit the trails daily - a flexible schedule finishing up my Master's degree means I have plenty of time for dedicated supervision. We have a fully fenced yard and are a quick walk to the forest. For your absolute peace of mind, I hold an active Wilderness EMT certification and my daily trail kit includes a canine-specific tourniquet. Very flexible as I wrap up grad school. We long walk early in the morning to beat the crowds, ensuring the doogo(s) gets open space for off-leash exercise when the environment is safest from distraction. Lumi is a solid regulator and grew up teasing coyotes on an unfenced 15acres. We'll keep a good watch. *Reminder that Rover applies a 25% surcharge to the prices that we set - and then they hit you with another 11% :(

“Kate was amazing!! We were in need of a sitter very last minute and she responded within minutes! She was very nice and sent pictures throughout the day! She even walked them twice in the day she watched them which was very sweet! Highly recommend her!! :)”
About: As lifelong dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. We have experience volunteering at the humane society, and have spent the last few years pet sitting dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether they need long walks, playtime, or just some cuddles on the couch, our goal is to stick to your dog's normal routine and treat them like one of our own. Dan and I both work in the restaurant industry, which gives us a flexible schedule. We work 3–4 days a week and often work opposite shifts, so one of us is usually home or available throughout the day. If we do work the same day, our shifts are in the evening, so we still have the entire morning and afternoon to spend with your pet. We make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love so your pet feels comfortable with us. We want every pet to feel at home while in our care. We have a fenced-in backyard and live just minutes from the marsh and beach, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. If your dog prefers to be the only pet or does not do well with other dogs, we are happy to provide care in your home instead. We understand that every owner has their own routines and expectations, and we will always respect your instructions and your pet’s needs. At our home, dogs are welcome on the couch, are surrounded by toys, and can hang out in backyard to sunbathe and roam free. Whether your pet is staying with us or we are caring for them in their own home, our goal is to create a safe, trusting, and stress-free environment for both owner and doggo.

“Elizabeth was great with my Sammy. Her chill and gentle nature was just what Sammy needed. The huge backyard was a big bonus, offering lots of area to play fetch and sprawl out in the sun. One thing to note, even though Elizabeth does not own a cat there is a cat in the home. The cat was kept behind a closed door and extra protected with a gate so there were no issues, but just sharing that detail as a heads up. Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Gina and her family are wonderful. So caring, they are active with pets, and personable. Buddy was able to be himself, play and then kick-back and rest. Their yard is so doggie ready and Buddy made new friends. Very pleasant visit, Thank you!”
“What a great place for my pup to spend the day. Young showed me around the house, which is such a great place with lots of space for furry guests both inside and out. My dog loved playing with Young's two adorable dogs. Lots of messages and some photos and video. I knew he was in great hands. I would give this pet caregiver 6 stars!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 211 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alpine Meadows. 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 Meadows 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 October 2026, there are 211 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
