“Alecia is so great with Tefiti. We know we can trust her to take care of her. Tefiti also loves her pup who is well socialized and well behaved. Great communication, consistency and care! We started booking with her at least once per week because Tefiti always comes home happy.”

“Blitzen had a great time playing at Roger's house for the day. I appreciate how Roger checks in with photos throughout the day and his flexibility with drop off and pick up times. Another great stay!”
“I recently moved to the Omaha area from the other side of the state knowing virtually no one, and I can’t say how thankful I am to have selected Katie and Brandt from all of the options of pet sitters around me. We were so difficult at the beginning with some various needs/scheduling/etc and they were nothing short of warm and understanding. They are so welcoming and amazing to work with. My dog LOVES going to their home and basically forgets I exist when he’s there. I have a high energy breed and I can tell that they truly take the time to play with him and he is always just so so so happy when I pick him up. I can’t rave enough how much I truly enjoy Katie and Brandt and their care of my dog, I can tell they love him and care for him as if he’s their own.”
“Jill and her family were so wonderful! They’re incredibly friendly, welcoming people, and took such wonderful care of Max. They sent updates, photos, and made a point of answering all of my questions. I would definitely have Max stay again! ?”
“We were in town with family and needed a last minute dog sitter. Michelle accepted our request. She had great communication. She even sent a picture and let us know she ate her dinner and was comfortably settled. So thankful we found Michelle. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
“Ashley and David everything was wonderful my dog was safe and happy with you guys he's back home all safe I will use you guys again and recommend you all to my friends and family thank you very much!”
About: I've had the most honorable pleasure of being part of my own late fur babies lives for 17 and 14 years. Caring for and loving them has taken me on many lifelong learning adventures. In order to make a difference for the loves of our lives I have decided to offer my heart to pet care. If given the chance, I can only hope to show your pets love like their own, trust, snuggles, fun, and more...everything they've ever dreamed of. Thank you. Due to being a stay at home homemaker it seems I have plenty of time to devote to loving and caring for your loves as if they were my own. I'm available and open to accommodate many different schedules. As of now I am available to care for your loved ones in their own setting where they're most comfortable. Your home is where I'm able to love and care for your furbabies. There are also many possibilities for walking, and I also offer vet visit care. That's as in being your pets' veterinary appointment partner.
“Alex and Sarah are friendly, thoughtful dog sitters and I appreciated that they want to have a meet and greet before watching Smudge for the first time. They were flexible and communicative. We’ll definitely ask for their services in the future!”
“I’m so happy we found Alexis. Last minute, she spent the afternoon with Max and Luna halfway through our long road trip and watched them while we took our family downtown. They were clearly happy and were able to get their wiggles out.”
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.
“Ann is such a Godsend to us! She took good care of our 2 baby girls 🐾🐾. They loved her and had a wonderful time. We feel so blessed to have found such a warm, kindhearted, and trustworthy person to look after our precious babies! 💖🙏🏻 Thank you so much, Ann! ☺️”
“My dog Mollie stayed with Donna for doggy day care. Mollie was immediately comfortable around Donna and was sufficiently tired when I took her home. Donna was very welcoming and prompt when it came to responding to my messages. She sent me updates through pictures and gave me a feedback of Mollie's stay. Great experience!”
“Melody was amazing with our pup! Got plenty of updates and responds quickly! Our situation was a last minute and she was quick to help us and we are grateful and our pup Annie can't wait to go again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - California Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 268 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across California Junction. 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 California Junction 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 IA 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 268 sitters in California Junction, 89% 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.
