“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Tiffany is super communicative and flexible! Dallas seemed to enjoy his time staying with her and he seems tired out when we pick him up because she often walks him or takes him to the park. Would 100% recommend :)”
“Jaynine and her partner were amazing with Kona! Every time I picked her up, she was exhausted and happy, which shows she had a wonderful time playing with their other dogs. Kona clearly enjoyed her stay, and I will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!”

“We had a nice meet and greet, and Shao asked good questions about our dogs and their habits. Pick up and drop off were very easy and we got lots of pictures of our dogs enjoying their stay!”
“I highly recommend Jay for your doggy needs. Jay is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and is eager to learn more about our furry friends. I have a "special" dog that requires a lot of attention and care, Jay was very communicative and responsive to our questions and concerns with our dog. Jay was willing to work with our dog to determine if she would be a good fit for day care and boarding. If you in need a reliable, responsible, knowledgeable dog care person, Jay is that person. She truly cares and enjoys working with animals.”
About: I live in an apartment in Pacific Heights with my shih-tzu-poodle pup Bubba. Both Bubba and I are used to having other pups around as I fostered dogs for two years and started sitting on Rover in June 2014. Fostering has given me experience with more difficult dogs as well as senior dogs. Staying at our home means lots of attention with regular walks and trips to the park. I can also keep you up to date with puppy pics and videos, as well as daily check-ins. If you have questions or want to learn more please message me. Thanks! Sara Why I love dog sitting I grew up with dogs, but I adopted my first dog in 2002. I found and adopted my dear sweet Bubba in 2010, and after some training classes and lots of work on socialization, he has come out of his shell and has grown into a well adjusted friendly pup who loves other dogs and people. Both Bubs and I love having visitors that bring new energy and new personalities to our home. Meet my pets Bubba Shih-poo Male Neutered Dog and people friendly House trained Love able *Old pro at having visitors, and nothing makes him happier than a sleep over* About my yard No yards, but just blocks away from Alta Plaza and Lafayette parks. Our routine: My dog gets two walks a day, 7am-ish and 4pm-ish, and an early afternoon break to get out of the house and get moving. We take nice slow relaxing walks (Bubs is a senior), so everyone get's plenty of time to take in the smells. I care for all pets like they are my own; with love and respect. I pay close attention to their needs and behavior to ensure they feel safe and happy. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Doggie bed or in a crate if provided by parent. (Or with me if that's what your dog prefers). Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home. I generally try not to leave dogs on their own, in particular on their first night when they are likely to be more anxious. If I step out, I won't be gone longer than 4 hours.
“Jeffery was fantastic. Our puppy is very skittish and doesn’t take to new people easily. By the end of doggy daycare, she was letting him pet her and feed her treats. This speaks volumes! It is clear from all interactions with Jeffery that he’s a very caring individual that puts your pet first and foremost. Would definitely recommend. Also his dog Barney was the cherry on top! Both dogs loved to play together.”
“Maria provided excellent care for Oxy during his daycare appointment. Her professional, communicative, and confident manner immediately put me at ease. I especially appreciated her thoughtful questions at drop-off and the detailed feedback she shared at pick-up. Oxy seemed relaxed and content, and his meeting Daphne (the sweetest dog!) was a fun bonus. We look forward to working with Maria and seeing Daphne again!”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”
“Allison was really wonderful with our dog Biscuit and asked all the right questions to get to know Biscuit better. It was Biscuit’s first time being away from our family and Allison took great care of her, sending photos and video updates throughout the day. When we picked her up, we could tell Biscuit loved hanging out with Allison and her dog Maple by the nonstop tail wags. We‘re thrilled to have found a wonderful dog sitter in our neighborhood and will definitely book with Allison again in the future!”
“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”
“Genuine people in this world are truly rare treasure! We rescued Rocco from the SPCA and quickly realized he could not be left at home alone while we went to work. I found out about this app a few days later and downloaded it. We were SO nervous leaving Rocco with new people after we just got him, but at the meet and greet Rocco warmed up to Gordon and Allison quickly. My partner are I felt so reassured that Rocco would be safe and cared about. Gordon and Allison are truly the most kind human beings my partner and I have met in a really long time. We were so grateful to find them. They will absolutely take the care of your dog. They took the BEST pictures of Rocco during the day too! My work schedule changed and we no longer need their services. Give them a try, we absolutely loved them and you and your pup will too! 🐾❤️”
“Michael is always accommodating and so sweet to Wilma, our 2 year old labradoodle. He’s responsive and easy to communicate with. He’s watched Wilma several times and she’s excited to see him when we drop her off. We totally recommend Michael!”
“Saige has been amazing with Kuma both times that we booked with her! She is attentive and communicates well, and very flexible as well! We love booking with Saige and know that our dog is in good hands with her!”

Shao was a caring, attentive, and wonderful pet sitter for my puppy. She put me at ease with frequent messages, pictures, and videos of my dog. If she was concerned about something she promptly communicated it with me. Overall my puppy really enjoyed having shao as her dog sitter. I would recommend her highly and would book her again.
Maggie and Matthew went over and above for our boxer Penny! They updated us with photos/videos and took such great care of her. Penny can be very shy at first but they handled it perfectly and made her feel right at home. We feel lucky to have someone in the area that we can now trust with our girl!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!
Stellar service! My doggy lived them as much as they loved on her. Very cozy, clean home. I usually plan ahead, but needed to complete a work assignment short notice and needed a sitter who was available thay I could trust. She will be back again for sure! Great w/ communication and updates. Professional and reliable. I highly recommend 🙌🏽
I left my dog for 2 days with Simon when I was in San Francisco visiting for the first time. Aspen had the best time and really liked being with Simon. This was fantastic as Aspen usually has a lot of separation anxiety at doggie day care facilities. Simon was very friendly and very professional and made sure Aspen was feeling good during the 2 days he was with him. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone who wants to see the city but can’t take their dog into many sightseeing places. I will definitely use Simon again if I am back in San Francisco!!!!
Christal does such an amazing job working with my baby girl. Given my pups temperament is super sassy and yappy, she did a great job with Christal’s fur babies. I can’t appreciate her enough with all her love and patience she continues to provide with not only my pup, but all her other lovely clients! 🐶💖
My wife and I decided on a spontaneous weekend trip to San Francisco and needed a last-minute sitter. Thankfully, we found Michelle! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found someone caring and attentive who took great care of Milo. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely book with her again on our next visit to San Francisco!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brisbane on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,665 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Brisbane. 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 Brisbane 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 4,665 sitters in Brisbane, 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.
