Gail was very personable and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She handled my dogs with great care and they felt very comfortable with her. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again.

Naji and her two dogs were awesome! My puppy came home happy and exhausted from all the fun! Naji was very sweet sending me cute videos and photos throughout the day. You can tell she truly loves having your fur babies around! We already booked doggy daycare for October! Highly recommend Naji!

My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!

Amanda was great, we went and did a visit. The visit went very well and her dog was very friendly and has a large backyard to run in. Amanda was very informative about the daycare that is provided and she would send videos during the day if you wanted.

About: I have been taking care of my dog since a pup(6 weeks) and shes 10 years old now. I have taught her some tricks such as shaking hands, sitting, and laying down. She also has some disciplinary training such as not jumping on people. I am a full time student but i have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I go to school online so I am always home. I have a good size fenced back yard. I also have a furnished basement for hot or cold days since my backyard has limited shade. I can crate your dog or cat if needed.

Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.

About: Hello there! I'm Hailey, and dogs hold a special place in my heart. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as constant companions, and now I'm eager to utilize my expertise in handling them. With a calm and laid-back demeanor, I prioritize building trust with your furry friends, hoping to win their affection along the way. Working from home grants me the flexibility to be there for your pups and other animals whenever they need me. Equipped with experience from puppy training classes, I'm confident in my ability to handle even the most energetic puppies. Additionally, I am trained in dog CPR, ensuring the safety of your beloved pets. As a former collegiate softball player, I maintain excellent physical fitness, enabling me to keep up with your dogs throughout the day effortlessly. If you have any further inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact me. As someone who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. With the flexibility of my schedule, I have the privilege of being available for your pets throughout the day. This means I can provide them with the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it's feeding, exercise, playtime, or administering any necessary medications, I can be there to tend to their needs promptly. Additionally, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine for pets, so I ensure that their feeding and exercise schedules align with their usual habits. Rest assured, your furry companions will receive dedicated care and supervision, as I am always present and ready to meet their needs. The way I care for pets in my home or a client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Here are a few scenarios: In the client's home: Pet Sitting: When providing pet sitting services at a client's home, I make sure to replicate the pet's daily routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, and engaging in playtime or exercise based on their specific needs. I also offer companionship and affection to help reduce any separation anxiety they may experience. Drop-in Visits: During drop-in visits, I visit the client's home at scheduled times to check on their pets. I ensure they have food and water, clean litter boxes, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and spend quality time with them, offering play and affection. Dog Walking: For dog walking services, I take the dogs on stimulating walks to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and an opportunity for bathroom breaks. I follow any instructions regarding route preferences, leash handling, or specific behavioral considerations. Regardless of the service provided, the well-being, safety, and happiness of the pets are my top priorities. I strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment, maintain their regular routines, and shower them with love and attention, just as their owners would.

About: I grew up on a farm when I was little so I know my way around animals. I have an 11 year old morkie named Marley and a 1 1/2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer named Waylon. I love my dog kids as much as I love my human kids! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I occasionally go in the office for 3-4 hours once a week, so I’m home pretty much all the time! I have a fenced in giant yard and doggy door. My fence is only 4 feet tall so let me know if your dog is a jumper. My small morkie is only here part time and keeps to herself and does not usually interact with any other dogs. My GSP is VERY high energy and loves to play and run and is not aggressive at all! He is around other dogs all the time because we take him to dog parks and Bar K quite frequently. I know how crazy I am about my dogs so I will treat yours just the same as I do mine!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Atherton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Atherton. 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 Atherton 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 MO 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 641 sitters in Atherton, 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.
