About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Growing up my family always had dogs of all sizes. My husband and sons are also big animal lovers and look forward to the day that we’ll have our own family dog. We travel a lot which makes it difficult to be a full time pet owner. In the meantime, I’d love to host and temporarily "adopt your dog" as our own. Dogs that stay with me will get plenty of love and exercise. I also have a very large yard that backs up to a park, allowing for quick and easy walks. Although my family will be present, I will always be the one responsible for your dog. When I care for your dog, I hope it will feel like your dog's home away from home. I work from home, making pet care easy to manage during breaks from work. I have a large backyard and access to a private park, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. I am flexible, so I can help maintain the schedule that your dog is accustomed to for meals and walks. I have a lot of space and can be flexible to what your dog needs. I don’t let dogs on the furniture. If I’m traveling to you or taking your dog to a local park for a walk, I have an SUV that will allow me to transport him/her. My children would not be with your dog unsupervised.

Susana was wonderful with our pup! She is very quick to respond to any messages and sent pictures and videos of my boy. She has a great outdoor area for dogs to play in, and space in the house to explore. My pup came home happy and smiling after 2 days of day care with Susana. I highly recommend her for day care.

We entrusted our 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Daisy, to Susannah’s care, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Daisy has special needs, but Susannah’s calm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put her at ease. Daisy was well cared for and seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Being able to leave her in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our day out without any worries. We highly recommend Susannah for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!

Kyla and David were great with my pup Gryffin! They went out of their way to accommodate my early work schedule for day care. I got frequent photos and updates on how my pup was doing. It was a genuine pleasure working with them and knowing my boy was safe, secure, and having a fun day. I will definitely rebook and highly recommend Kyla for day care!

About: I grew up with dogs and know firsthand how much they become part of the family. Our beloved dogs, Bonbon and Bambii, were like siblings to me, and I loved spending time with them on walks, hikes, and playtime adventures. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, I miss that special connection and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your furry companions. I also have experience looking after my sister's dog, Toast, and always enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being around animals. I love starting my mornings with a walk, hike, or run, and I'm available between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM for dogs who need exercise, fresh air, and attention before the day begins. In the evenings, I enjoy going on walks after work, usually from 7:00 PM onward. This gives me dedicated time to focus on your pet, whether that means a relaxing walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Having grown up with dogs and caring for my sister's dog, Toast, I understand that pets thrive on consistency, affection, and quality time. Caring for pets doesn't feel like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my weekly routine.🐶🤍 When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.

Poppy ran happily to Sophie when I dropped her off after only meeting her once during the meet and greet. That says a lot since Poppy is an anxious little girl. She looked very happy when I picked her up as well. Sophie sent updates and photos and was very sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

About: 💫 Enriching Experiences for your Fur Babies! ⛰️ Day Walking Trail Adventures 🤸‍♂️ Stimulating Play and Training 💕Loving Care and Companionship My partner, Carly, and I love dogs and dogs love us! We have an Australian-Shepherd who such a bundle of joy, energy, and excitement, always eager to make new experiences, new pet friends, and new human-bonds! I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I've always had at least 2-3 dogs at-home, at all times. These dogs have either stayed for just the day, overnight, or have boarded with me, the longest-boarding being 2-3 months with a German-Shepherd rescue, and we always have a blast. We always seek to find a routine so as to calm any boredom or stress throughout each day! We play, take walks, hang out in the grass yard / property, and go on 1-3 miles hikes in the local area! I love to spoil every dog I have the pleasure to be around, take scenic walks, and of course taking lots and lots of pictures. Daytime Adventures: Available most weeks days (7am-4pm, pickup or drop off) to take your pup on a hike, play yard games, and practice new skills. Sitting and Boarding: Kainoa and Carly are available for night and weekend sitting or longer-term boarding with 1 week advance notice. We live on a large property with a fenced-in yard, lush green-pasture for playtime, and complete with a shaded (puppy-proof) deck! I have no problem with crate-training, my goal is to give your pet what they need to be settled, calm, happy, curious, and playful… and then to give them lots of love and cuddles and kisses!

About: Hi! I'm Rafi, your local dog nanny. I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and spent more than a year working for a professional pet care company. I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I regularly care for English Mastiffs, Pit Bulls, and German Shepherds, so I'm comfortable handling large, strong breeds as well as dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is that your dog's well-being is always my top priority. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing personalized care, attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind, knowing their pup is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs and families I work with. This allows me to be flexible and available for daycare, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and close supervision, and I prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional wellbeing at all times. I understand that each pet has unique needs, so I carefully follow their established routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel secure, happy, and at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain a calm, respectful environment and do not host any guests while I am staying there. I do not drink, smoke, or party; I focus fully on the pets’ care, safety, and consistency in their normal routine. In my own home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They are welcome on beds and couches, and we have a secure backyard for safe playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own.

Hir and Mitchell were absolutely wonderful with Sheba! From the moment I arrived, they greeted me outside, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving her in their care. It was clear right away that they are true animal lovers. They took Sheba on a walk right away and kept in great communication with me throughout the time she was with them, which I really appreciated. Everything felt easy—from finding their place to coordinating drop-off and pick-up. I’m so grateful to have found them. Highly recommend!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and even started my own dog walking business when I was ten. I love animals … maybe even more than people. 😂 I’d be honored to care for your cats and dogs while you’re away. I would love to help you care for your pets when my children are at school…and if it’s okay for them to visit with your sweet dogs and cats as well I have TONS of flexibility all day. I am very careful with pets. They are part of the family. Please tell me what you feel comfortable with and I will follow the instructions to the last detail. I have so much love to give these animals and am hoping to get to spend my time with helping them not miss you too much while you’re away.

I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!

So glad we met Edward! He took great care of our labradoodle, who can get very bad separation anxiety when we're away. I liked how Edward was thoughtful about bringing his dog outside to introduce her to our dog, and took them for a walk together right away so they could get to know each other. Edward's dog was very sweet and well behaved, and got along great with our dog. We are so thankful for Edward's help!

About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bel Marin Keys

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bel Marin Keys on Rover is $53.28 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 3,620 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bel Marin Keys. 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 Bel Marin Keys 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 3,620 sitters in Bel Marin Keys, 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.
