About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs and cats since I was a young child. As an adult I have owned numerous dogs/cats and often pet sit or walk for family and friends. I’m very comfortable with senior dogs and puppies as well. I’m currently working part-time and homeschool my 8 year old son so I would have plenty of time to walk and play with your fur baby. When I'm not working I’m a stay at home mom and I would love to fill my time with some new furry friends. I would often bring my son with me as long as the pet is child friendly. He is very mature, loves animals and is very good with helping care for them. We are free Sunday through Thursday and some Saturdays I’m a very responsible and clean person. In my own home I’m very aware of our pets safety and will be the same in yours. I will respect any house rules that are in place.
“I wish I could give Linda 10 stars! My first time ever leaving my pup with a sitter. We are out of state or I would hire her all the time. My pup is an old soul rescue! Linda sent pictures and Roshi’s face was so relaxed! When I picked him up he was relaxed! He didn’t cry like I had just abandoned him. I felt at ease and totally comfortable leaving him with Linda! She is a dog whisperer and I can’t honestly thank this lovely person enough! What an amazing experience! You should hire her you and your fur baby won’t be sorry!”
About: I'm a very responsible and fun loving dog mom to my own senior Maltese. Other owners say bringing their dogs to stay with me is like going to Club Med. Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and maybe any other pet animal you could think of. Family friends and coworkers are always happy to bring me their furry friends. I currently work part time and my job has a very flexible schedule there will also always be someone home. Love going on walks or staying in depending on the pup! I have a fenced yard and also have a puppy at the moment very friendly loves big and small dogs and even cats. Can be crated if needed.
“Aniyah did a great job taking care of Brownie. I had to leave him on short notice and she was able to accommodate it. Aniyah kept me updated and sent pictures of my dog which I really appreciate. I would definitely leave Brownie with her again.”
“Brittany was great. She responds to communication quickly, was very accomodating and took good care of Vinny who trotted off happily with her. She sent a picture and a reassuring message early in the visit. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have 11 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. My priority is maintaining your dog's routine to minimize stress, offering regular walks, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention. I have experience with both senior dogs that need calm environments and high-energy puppies. In my home, your pet won't just be a guest; they’ll be part of the family. I work from home, which allows me to provide constant companionship and supervision for your pet. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your dog’s specific needs for walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the entire day and week. I provide a safe and loving environment where your pet is always supervised. My home is fully pet-proofed, and I ensure all doors and gates are kept secure. I focus on clear communication with owners and follow all safety instructions strictly. Whether at my home or yours, I maintain a clean space and keep a close eye on your pet's well-being and happiness.
“Greg was fantastic to work with. We needed a last minute day sitter and Greg was very to flexible and communicative! He took great care of our pup and provided us regular updates. Bala came back happy and tired from his play date. We would book with him again any time we are back in Napa.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bucktown
Haruka and Daniel were AMAZING, kind and very professional. They are informed, experienced, and always ask you questions to get to know your dog to make sure they’re providing the best care possible. I got a lot of updates during my dog’s daycare with them. They have two sweet and friendly dogs and my dog Charlie loved hanging out with them. 1000% recommend
Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Bucktown is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,219 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bucktown. 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 Bucktown 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,219 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
