“Lily and Raoul are such fantastic care takers! I received great pictures and stories of Nyra playing with their dogs, which always makes me so happy to hear. She had a great time and I could tell she didn’t want to leave by the end of it. They followed feeding instructions and were great with communication! I would highly recommend Lily and Raoul to take care of your dogs if you have the opportunity!”

“My puppy loves Stephanie! She wags her tail like crazy when I drop her off. Stephanie is a great fit for Mia and I. I’m really happy that Stephanie is our sitter.”

“Really happy with today’s doggy day care. Efficient communication and a positive attitude. Thank you so much for taking lorelai last minute. I was sent regular updates and photos of how my pup was doing. Their Great Dane puppy Morgana kept lorelai busy and gave her a good work out. Lorelai had a couple potty accidents inside and they were incredibly gracious about it. I apologize about that again.”

“I'm having construction work done on my home and wanted to get my cats away from what I knew would be some very loud activity. Alexis was listed as a dog sitter but was happy to cat-sit my two cats. They're indoor-only cats and have never spent much time away from home. Alexis was great with them! One of my cats is very shy but by the second day he was feeling much more comfortable around her. She sent pictures so I could see how they were doing and was very responsive. Would definitely book with her again!”

As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every stay or visit.

“Bingbing was super sweet and accommodating. She hosted a meet a greet before confirming booking to ensure my doggo Luna felt comfortable in her care. She has a nice big gated yard with plenty or grass and sunbathing space, and she made sure I brought my doggo some toys and a blanket and feeding instructions to make sure Luna could adjust as it was her first time in a doggy daycare setting. She sent me many many updates and candid Luna photos and videos throughout the day. Overall 10/10 all around. Hope to bring my baby back soon! She LOVED Bingbing 🤩!”

“Lawrence was so amazing with our shy and gentle Bailey! I felt at ease knowing that Bailey was getting the kind of care and attention that I give her myself. Lawrence went above and beyond my expectations in every aspect- following Baileys routine including walking her and play time, being sensitive to her shyness and helping her feel comfortable in a new environment, communication with pics and videos and thorough updates throughout the day, everything! 10/10 would recommend. It’s rare to find people like Lawrence who really give their time, attention, and sincere care to their clients. I could see how relaxed my pup was and that is priceless to me.”

About: 💁♂️Providing personalized home-style boarding and daycare in a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. To ensure every dog receives plenty of attention and supervision, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. For safety reasons, I exclusively care for small dogs under 20 lbs. This helps avoid the risks that can come from mixing large and small dogs together, where significant size differences may increase the chance of accidental injuries during play and daily interactions. With over 10 years of pet care experience and a professional pet grooming background, I understand the unique needs of small breeds, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs requiring medications or supplements. Feeding instructions, medications, and daily routines are carefully followed to help every dog feel comfortable and secure while away from home. Dogs enjoy supervised free-roaming time, comfortable indoor spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Because this is a home environment rather than a large commercial facility, each dog receives individualized care and close supervision. Whether your dog is staying for a day, a weekend, or an extended visit, they will be cared for with the same attention, patience, and affection as my own pets. 💻 My husband and I currently work from home full-time, running a pet boarding and grooming studio 🐾✂️. This allows us to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. 🧡 🏡 We're available for boarding every day, including weekends and holidays 🎉, and we ensure your pet stays on their routine with regular feeding 🍽️, playtime 🎾, and bathroom breaks 🚶♂️. 🐶 Your dog will stay in a quiet, smoke-free home 🏡 with two gentle small dogs 🐶🐶 and no children. They’ll live freely in our shared space like part of the family 💕 and will not be crated or kept apart — unless requested. Pets are welcome on furniture 🛋️ if they’re comfortable. 🐱 For cats, we provide a cozy private cat room 🏠 equipped with toys 🎲, a cat tree 🐾, and an automatic water fountain 💧. It’s a calm and relaxing space where cats can feel safe, comfortable, and completely undisturbed by dogs. 😺✨ ✨ My home is secure, clean, and ideal for small dogs who enjoy a calm environment 🌿 and close companionship 🤍 — and equally perfect for cats who appreciate peace and independence. 🐾 📸 Fun Fact: My husband is also a photographer 🎞️ and loves snapping beautiful portraits of our furry guests 🐕🐈 — you might get some frame-worthy shots to remember their stay! 🖼️💫
“Felicia was an excellent sitter!! Since my dog is very old and needs special attention, Felicia was extremely accommodating to all my requests. My dog is a shy and anxious chihuahua; however Felicia and her family were able to make my dog feel at ease! She frequently sends me pictures and videos throughout the day, and they all show how happy my dog was there. I would 110% recommend Felicia for anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

“This is our second time booking daycare for our puppy with Tuotian! We appreciate how she kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day. It’s clear that she loves dogs and we feel that our pup is in good hands when she is there!”

After my dog experienced suddenly going from a 2 human household to a 1 human household, I suddenly needed a some help for my for my precious fur baby. Chanell recommended a walk or doggie meet and greet first before daycare. I’m so glad she suggested that. If I had dropped off my little Layla the Basenji off to a stranger, she would have been stressed out for hours. Layla enjoyed her stay and was very well taken care of. Her behavior has already improved. Chanell is definitely a specialist that offers lots of value to pet owners. Thank you from Blake and Layla.

Lily and Raoul are such fantastic care takers! I received great pictures and stories of Nyra playing with their dogs, which always makes me so happy to hear. She had a great time and I could tell she didn’t want to leave by the end of it. They followed feeding instructions and were great with communication! I would highly recommend Lily and Raoul to take care of your dogs if you have the opportunity!

Jesslyn is the best! We are so thrilled to have found someone who can not only care for our dog, but also help her to be her best dog self. Jesslyn & Noah are extremely patient and knowledgeable about dogs, and I can’t wait for them to help us with further training. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of dog support. 🐾✨

Kyle and Jennifer were so generous with their time, accommodating a meet-and-greet / trial for my nervous pup. He was skittish when I dropped him off, but was best friends with Kyle by the time I picked him up. I was happy he got to enjoy (supervised) time in their backyard, since we don’t have one at home. Great communication throughout. Five stars; Rio looks forward to his next visit!

Helen was great for doggy day care. Kept me updated and made me feel at ease after leaving my dog Goose with her during the day. Took him on three walks and he came back home ready to eat dinner and nap! Sent updated photos and all! 10/10 would recommend booking again with her.

Kiran was a huge help during our vacation in california. We booked a daycare for our dog Leo. During the day care hours kiran kept us updated on leo and sent lots of pictures. Because of her we had a peace of mind and were able to attend the concert. She was super helpful when we were running late in picking Leo. Definitely going to book her again. :)

Janice was wonderful and Ozzy loved it there. He didn’t even want to leave when I picked him up!!! I think any dog would be good here - they have a large house with kids that love dogs and a backyard, but especially if your dog is human oriented. There are so many laps to choose from!

Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)

Yuen was amazing with Daisy! She was so sweet and attentive. Even though my puppy can be pretty anxious, Yuen was incredibly patient and really helped calm her nerves. She took Daisy on walks with her dog Sasha, made her homemade treats, and sent me video updates so I could see how much fun they were having. I’m so glad I found Yuen and will definitely be booking with her again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Altadena is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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.

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 Altadena 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 8,306 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 .
