About: I offer personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior pets, I ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every furry friend. Your pet will receive the attention and care they deserve in a safe, loving environment I'm working part time from home and will be more than happy to spend time with your pet while you're away! My schedule is flexible and I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, or even just dropping in for some playtime and cuddles. I have fenced yard in apartments also have park in 2 min walk from my home, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I have experience with both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more.
“Victoria was absolutely awesome! I had a last minute booking and she accepted and literally saved the day. My rescue was super scared at first and I was worried about leaving him. Within 30 minutes she sent me pictures of him having the time of his life! He was really happy to return the next visit as well. Victoria provided plenty of pictures and a video of Kratos during his stay. I will most definitely bring using Victoria in the future for Kratos.”
About: I have had and loved animals since I was a kid, and even more so as a responsible adult. We have a loud, rambunctious 3 year old hound/border collie mix in our home who loves other dogs and loves to play. (Hounds tend to be the most mouthy breed, and Cooper doesnt disappoint). Hes quite submissive, so he pairs well with most pups. We frequent the dog park, so we have many puppy friend. Consistency is so important for the behavior and health of your dog, so I will happily accommodate your pooches needs to their benefit. I've learned with the way our guests tend to happily (and safely) play with Cooper, that while in my care sometimes there isn't enough energy left for our routine walks. If walks are part of a training regime, please let me know so I can ensure the walks still take place. I do require a meet and greet prior to every booking. This ensures there is a good fit in personalities of pups and myself as your pup's caregiver. I apologize, but because I work from home, I cannot take in habitual barkers, or dogs who are not crate trained. If you have read this far and you use Instagram, please find me watchmywags.sacramento. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so no worries about separation anxiety, and rest assured your furry friend will stay plenty active freely roaming our home and property. I also have 3 lovely children who enjoy the company of animals. I'm happy to help out with evening walks. Let me know if there's a specific route you're using for training purposes. I will follow your lead. If theyre coming to my home to play, I have a large fenced yard with room to run. A designated crate area for sleep. I accompany doggos while they run about outside whether for pee, poop or play. I work from home, so your pup is welcome to hang with me and Coop while I work. Cooper is happy to keep your guy entertained under my supervision. Constant video monitoring in community areas as well, so safety is utmost importance. If we are visiting your home, please leave clear written instructions. I will respect your wishes as your pet companion.
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and I am a very attentive and patient care giver. Any pet staying with me will get lots of attention and love. I will ensure timely feedings, plenty of fresh water, and lots of safety and love. I am a stay at home mom, and my oldest is in full time kindergarten, so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pet, 7 days a week. I have a recently remodeled fenced in back yard, that backs up to a beautiful, shaded nature walk on the edge of a wetlands nature preserve. Any walks we go on will have plenty of safe exploring for your pet. I have two male siamese cats of my own at home who are generally pretty tolerant of other animals. I also have two young children, ages 5 and 3 so as long as your pets are comfortable and good around kids we would love to love on your fur babies!
“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”
About: Hi! My name is Cami, and I’m a mom to both kids and a sweet fur baby. I’ve been providing pet care for over 20 years, and I truly love it. I have a soft spot for little dogs and senior pups, and I pride myself on offering a safe, loving home for every pet in my care. I became a pet care provider because, whenever I traveled, I struggled to find someone who would care for my pets the way I do. So, I decided to be that person for others and their beloved animals. Your sweet pea can lounge on the couch with the family or play outside in our fully fenced yard. There's also a large park nearby that we love to visit, and we go on several walks each day. I also enjoy caring for cats and am happy to give them the space, cuddles, or both—whatever they prefer! I'm also available to come to your home to check on your pets and take them for walks as needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work part-time, so I'm available for walks, grooming, belly rubs, and nap time with your fur baby. I love being able to spend lots of quality time with them. If you have an emergency and need care on short notice, please feel free to reach out—I may be able to accommodate. Whether your fur baby is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, both your needs and your pet’s needs are always my top priority. Pets in my home are free to roam, and we have a fenced backyard where they can play or simply relax in the sun. I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications and will review your pet’s medical plan with you to ensure accurate care. I also love sending photos and updates while your fur baby is with me! Please note, I’m unable to care for aggressive dogs—either in my home or during visits. You know your pet best, so if they aren’t comfortable around children, other dogs, or cats, I may not be the right fit. In some cases, I may ask for a trial visit before the actual care date to ensure your dog is a good match and won’t pose a safety risk.

About: I have been a breeder of Yorkie’s for 15 years. I am very knowledgeable about dogs, specifically the Yorkie breed. I am veterinarian approved and I feed only the top of the line dog food. My wish is for people to enjoy their families, children, grandchildren & friends and take vacations knowing that their fur babies are in good hands.

“Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.”
“Archie had a great time at day care! Free to roam and play with other dogs. Dave and Max had great communication and very easy to work with. Will definitely continue to work with them!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since childhood and bring over 10 years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family. My home includes a gentle 10-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai and two senior cats—all of whom are completely dog-friendly, non-reactive, and well-accustomed to hosting guest dogs in our home. Since I work from home full-time, I am always there to ensure your pup gets personalized attention, continuous supervision, and a calm, low-stress environment. I host only one guest dog at a time so your pet receives my undivided care. My household is calm, clean, and family-friendly. My school-aged daughters have grown up with pets and know how to interact gently and respect a dog’s personal space. For added peace of mind, my senior cats also have their own dedicated upstairs sanctuary. Indoor Comfort: On hot or inclement days, we relax indoors where guest dogs are welcome to lounge on the living room sofa (bedrooms remain pet-free zones).
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had a previous boarding experience that did not go so well because the dogs in the home barked at mine the entire time he was there (days). With that information, Nicole introduced her dogs to mine one at a time. My dog spent several hours at her home and got along so well with her fur babies. It was like a great play date! I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember because of the unconditional love, joy, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’ve also had cats, and to me, they’re all family—not just pets. ❤️🐾 Now that my children are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s beloved fur babies has become something I truly enjoy. I give each dog my full attention, patience, affection, and TLC. Whether they’re young, senior, shy, recovering, or a cherished show dog, I care for each one according to their individual needs and personality. I also administer pills if needed as well. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—just like they’re at home. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being cared for as one of my own. I’m a mature, honest, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter. I don’t smoke, drink, or have visitors. I’m also a homeowner so I’ll take good care of you house n pets just as I would with mine. I also take in the mail, making sure the pool man/gardener come in time, and taking garbage out. I leave minimal footprint at your house because i like to leave the place as clean or cleaner than when i left it. I provide services to the following areas: Roseville, Fair Oaks, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. I’m happy to provide excellent references from pet parents who have trusted me with their beloved companions. I do take care of small dogs (1:1 only!) at my house too if you like drop-in services. Please message me. I’m retired so i have a lot of time for dogs/cats sitting…:). I’m available 7 days/week. This is the thing that I enjoy doing most. This also allows me to get my pet fix…lol..:). I really enjoy taking care of pets (dogs or cats) as though they’re my own whether at my house ( I live in a condo and we have grassy areas throughout the complex) or at your house. My goal is have them feel like I’m just another family member. I feed, play, and walk with them. I also check mail, bring packages in, and water the plants at your home.
About: Updated: 2/16/2026 - I home sit (for overnights) at my home in Citrus Heights on almost an acre for clients who need dog sitting up to 2 dogs or 1 dog and 1 in house cat (spayed or neutered). I only sit one client at a time with one or two pets so I can give them full attention as I am retired.. Cats will be in outdoor cat condo under carport at this time. I don’t book out farther than 90 days. Additionally, I do drop-in's from 9 am to 5 pm daily. NOTE: I home care dogs in Citrus Heights (near Antelope & Sunrise). I've owned a couple of pure breed German Shepherds and a few rescue German Shepherds, a Golden Retriever, and a medium mix dog. I've taken some doggie training classes. There are two other adults who live with me (dog lovers). Non-smoking house. Dogs are provided Britta filtered water. Let me know your dog's preferences for playtime... Frisbee, ball toss, tug toys, etc. for overnights (please provide the food). Look forward to meeting your sweet dogs. I do walk about around my large backyard on leash if you prefer your dog to keep up with walking training. It's a bit like a track in the backyard. Cats will be outdoor under a structured carport in a cat condo (with litter box access). I'll update you wtih daily photos. I can’t accept Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, or Rottweilers for insurance reasons. I'm retired and looking forward to have dog guests. If you vacation during the summer months this will work well for you. In the house is great too. All my dogs have been indoor dogs. I have a fenced yard that can be divided and fenced for smaller dogs too. It's a big property and dogs can be contained in smaller areas if you prefer. See pictures.
“They were great! We needed a sitter for the day so we could go to a graduation since we aren’t local to the area, and it was nice to feel comfortable leaving them. They both seemed to enjoy their stay and she was very understanding of any needs. Thanks!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Antelope
Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.
Julane was awesome throughout the whole process. Her family, including the dog Mary, was also super sweet and I immediately felt welcomed during our meet and greet, perfect for my dogs. So grateful they were available during the holiday. I will definitely book Julane again in the future.
Destiny was lovely! We needed a last-minute daycare (and I mean truly last-minute -- within hours of reaching out) and she was incredibly flexible and eager to fill the need. She reached out with updates at just the right frequency, sent amazing photos, and made sure to follow all of our guidance on Chancho's needs. She is very experienced when it comes to dogs with various needs, including our severe separation anxiety boy, and despite some truly traumatic experiences on Rover, I trusted her immediately. It was obvious Chancho was going to get the same level of care that we provide at home, and I couldn't have asked for more!!!
Nick has done a great job dog-sitting my senior labrador retriever. He goes the extra mile by sending me pictures and updates throughout the day, and taking her on a walk around the neighborhood. Thank you for taking such good care of Dakota. Would definitely recommend Nick to others.
Sara and her family are so sweet and gave my dogs a lot of attention. She sent me pictures of her kids playing with my dogs and I could tell that they were having a good time. Her home is set up really well for my dogs with the backyard covered patio. My dogs are funny about going out in the rain and it was raining in the morning so her having a covered patio was really good for my dogs. I definitely recommend Sara!!!! I now have a new dog sitter with Sara.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Antelope
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Antelope on Rover is $22.2 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,344 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Antelope. 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 Antelope 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 1,344 sitters in Antelope, 87% 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.
