About: Hello! Dog dad of two frenchies here. I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. I am very familiar with brachiocephalic (short muzzled) dogs. But any type is welcome! I currently work from home 24/7 and will have plenty of time with your pup. My home is also a step away from the park so your pup will have a lot of exercise. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to run and play and have two french bulldogs to keep them company. I am also a step away from a park for walking and exercise.
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.
“My baby Makana had a great time at JJ’s house.. Though we didn’t see the host’s interior of the house where the pets are, the pictures she had sent looked clean and safe.. It’s Makana’s first time to socialize with 2 dogs since she turned 2 yrs old due to some health issues when she’s a pup. We thought it’s time for her to explore and find out if she is well adjusted now that she’s an adult.She is as expected to be a little shy but was able to adapt and became comfortable. She is tired and pretty happy bec she had a play date with Zuri ( the host’s furbaby) and another furbaby. I’m glad that JJ has been sending pic and videos of our baby’s socialization activities and so nice of their son to play with the FBabies.. Thank you and will definitely recommend her services.”
“Thanks to Kareen and her lovely daughters; my 4 puppy’s first time in day care was awesome. Kareen and her daughters kept her occupied and gave her lots of attention. Would definitely use Kareen again!”
“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.”
“Andrew and Karrie are kind, professional and treat your pets like their own. They address any concerns that you have and take their services seriously. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is particular about who watches their pets.”
“It makes my heart happy to know that Jerry is in such good hands. Fiona and her family make sure that he gets all the love and hugs he needs when we need to be away. She's always great about sending photos and updates and we never have to worry. Thank you Fiona - we'll see you again soon!”
“Rachel and Demetria were awesome! Super easy to communicate with and very friendly. Our schnauzers loved the day they spent with them. You know they had a good time when they passed out when they got home from having so much fun. Will definitely be using Rachel and Demetria again!”
“Christopher was wonderful with our boy. When it was time to come home, instead of being ready to leave he rolled over for a belly rub. My doggie is happy and so are we. Thank you so much.”
“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”
“I was SO pleased with Thomas. My “dog” which was actually a 6 week old lamb, was well cared for. He was feed, and diaper was always dry when I picked him up. He sent me pictures of Winnie as well, and he was given lots of attention by Thomas and his adorable kids. I’d highly recommend to try him out. He was very accommodating, flexible, and such a pleasant person.”
“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.”
“Melisa was amazing, offered to even meet prior to the arrangement and took wonderful care of our pup. We will be using her in the future, glad we found her. Very responsive and flexible.”
“Mariana and her family provide safe and fun dog care - my doggo Annie loves them and gets excited every time i drop her off. They are professional and responsible and I can tell my dog is getting special attention each and every day.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have always considered my pets part of the family. When your pet stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own fur babies. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from 12-pound companions to gentle giants over 200 pounds—and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, comfort level, and routine. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or a little extra patience while adjusting to a new environment, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I also have a cat who enjoys having her own space and is comfortable around dogs. Our home is calm, friendly, and welcoming to both canine and feline guests. Your pet will enjoy a safe, spacious home with a secure concrete backyard and plenty of room to relax, play, and explore. My goal is to make every stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶😻 I work from home and am around all day to let the dogs into the backyard, as well as attend to any car needs they may have! I take serious consideration into the safety and care of the animals in my home! I have extra rooms with nice windows and ventilation in case your animal needs privacy and am around all day to allow them in and outside as you see fit!
“We had a great experience with Brittany watching Peanut. She was attentive, caring, and made sure to send picture updates throughout the day. Seeing Peanut happy and comfortable made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful for the care she provided and would definitely use her again!”
“Very nice family, wolf spent the whole day there and played with the other animals they had. We got happy pup update pics. We know he had a great time, the minute he got home he took 2 sips of water and passed out for the rest of the night!”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of attention and care I’m able to give because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to spend more time with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m patient, attentive, and focus on making pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. I’m also careful to follow each owner’s instructions closely so their pet’s routine stays consistent. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, including playful young pets that need extra attention and senior pets that may need a calmer, gentler approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I enjoy taking short breaks to spend time with pets, making sure they get exercise, stimulation, and companionship. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean and give them calm interaction or play depending on their personality. I also pay attention to their behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Katie and her cute kids took great care of Buddy for a day. He played with them and their nice dog and had a great time in their big yard. They even took him for a walk and posted some sweet photos. I'm so glad and thankful to have had such great care for Buddy while we were busy all day!”

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.
