“Andrew and Karrie did a great job in watching over my dog for the day. They had other dogs to watch that were able to play and keep my dog entertained. They also sent me updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel and Joe are amazing!! They took care of my Lexi while our family went to Universal Studios. I felt at ease as Rachel has excellent communication and is very caring. My Lexi even made new friends with her sweet pups. I will definitely be booking with Rachel again!”
“Alfonsus and Ayni were great, kept us informed about our fur baby’s comfort level throughout the day with photos and videos. So good to know our little girl was having fun and in good hands!”
“Elaine and Marty have given me peace of mind while traveling for work or pleasure. I know Zoey is home away from home with her daily routine and the love she receives. I am guilt free leaving here there and words cannot express my gratitude to Elaine and Marty.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting, helping family and friends’ dogs. I have two dogs myself, a pug and a terrier mixed. They are both well behaved and trained, they love having friends over. I do work on the weekdays, but weekends are usually free with the dogs and kids at home. We love to take them for a long walk around the neighborhood. I have a fenced in backyard and front yard, my dogs love it. It will be great for many more friends to join during the weekends.
“Teddy Bear, our goldendoodle stayed with Fiona for one week and he had the best time. She made home cooked meals, sent us pictures and videos all the time and treated Teddy like family. Fiona and her family watched Teddy Bear and took extra special care and love! Teddy played with her sons, bubbles and lots of exercise/walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. He was smiling in the pictures she sent and we could tell Teddy was happy in her care. Best dog sitter ever! We found our dog sitter for every family trip knowing that Teddy had a mini vacation with Fiona’s family too. Thank you so much!”
“She was easy and available and communicated well. I had my dog stay with her for the day while I went golfing and she sent me a couple of pictures and he seemed happy when he got home.”
“Alexandra provided a positive and easy dog-sitting experience overall. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and communication was clear when needed. She sent an update with a photo when I asked, which I appreciated. She’s reliable and flexible with scheduling, which made everything stress-free. Overall, I’d recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter.”
“Ashley was very communicative and sent updates throughout Millie’s stay with her which made us feel very comfortable. She knew very well how to read her body language and did a great job getting her to be comfortable around other dogs.”
“Soraya was amazing with our puppy, Noche. She took great care of him, kept him safe, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and treated him like he was her own. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave our little guy. We would absolutely book with Soraya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Noche!”
“Ilona took great care of our dog and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He looked very happy in all the photos she provided. We will definitely continue to book with Ilona in the future.”
“Alice was great! She was attentive and very responsive while our pup Mimi was in her care. We plan to book with her again and we would recommend her to anyone! :)”
“I would 100% recommend Areli to care for your fur baby! It was my first time leaving my boy and she went above and beyond to update me with photos and keep me informed. I will for certain be rebooking with Areli !!”
“Everything was great! We booked Phil and Lauren to watch Penny for a few hours. They were super flexible with the drop off time. Penny loves staying with them!”

“Tina was very gracious and took in Obiwan. He had a wonderful time and Tina kept us up to date on Obi's progress throughout the day with pictures and narrative.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Buckhorn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,670 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Buckhorn. 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 Buckhorn 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 1,670 sitters in Buckhorn, 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.
