“Elizabeth truly took time to get to know and care for our girl Sweets. She was wonderful to communicate with and very understanding of the special needs and quirks of our sweet girl. We recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and always take care of my friend's pets when needed. I am active and love being outdoors! I'm currently in between jobs so I am very free and would love to spend my time outside with your pets. I'm also available most weekends when I'm not traveling. I have a fenced backyard and two housemates to always keep your pet safe and having fun. I live next to a park with a lot of trails.
“Katie is so sweet and thoughtful with our puppy Moose. Katie watched our 9 month old Moosie girl for 3 days. She was incredibly great with communication and photo sharing. I love that other dogs were present at daycare so Moosie could socialize. Each day I brought her back I could tell Moose was so excited to be there. She came home exhausted and slept the rest of the evening! Would definitely recommend Katie and plan to use her again in the future. Thank you Katie for being so great!”
“Julie was fantastic! Rossi was so excited to go over there for a few days of daycare. Rossi loved her and looked happy, she was super nice and responsive and took great care of him”
“Jose was such an incredible host. Not only did he send pictures and videos of my little Frankie girl having the time of her life, but he was also very flexible about what time to pick her up. I will absolutely work with Jose again and really appreciate the quick responses I received from him. 10 out of 10!”
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs as part of my life for as long as I can remember. They truly feel like family, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I recently lost my own dog, and while I’m not quite ready to adopt again, I really miss having a furry companion around. Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with dogs while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a relaxing stay, an energetic walk, or just plenty of affection, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday from **7:00 AM–4:00 PM** and I work from home on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays**, which allows for lots of companionship, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available most weekends and may be available for evening dog walks during the week. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! • 🐾 A safe, clean, non-smoking home with no other pets. • 🚶♀️ Fun walks with an emphasis on positive reinforcement and good leash manners. • 💊 Comfortable administering oral medications, including pills, if needed. • ❤️ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and individualized attention. • 📸 Regular photo and video updates so you can relax while you’re away.
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”
“Lena is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Not only did she take amazing care of my pup Leo and wore him out with all the fun adventures, but she also saved the day with her flexibility. I had a last-minute booking, and Lena was incredibly accommodating, making sure Leo had a blast despite the short notice. She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, putting my mind at ease. If you need someone reliable, loving, and flexible for your furry friend, Lena is the one to call. Leo can't wait for his next visit with her!”

“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”
About: Most walkers provide walks and love. While that works for a lot of dogs, high energy dogs like mine need exercise, discipline and leadership. If your dog needs this kind of care, I’m your guy! Outdoor intense play and no worried about difficult dogs! Two long sessions of walk + play. Love training dogs and dealing with their energy. There’s time for love and cuddles too, but the priority is exercise and activities We live in a townhouse with a big terrace for dogs to chill and play, always supervised. But usually they just want to rest when they get home from our training, walking and playing sessions. Fun!
“Jasmine took amazing care of my dog Buddy while we were away. She watched him one-on-one, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was getting her full attention. She was super attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. Buddy came back relaxed and well taken care of, and I could tell he had a great experience. I would absolutely book Jasmine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Brooke was amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I appreciated all the prompt communication & photo updates. Can confidently say we will be booking again!”
“Courtney took great care of Chelsea! It was our dog's first time with Courtney so it was nice to start with just one day since Chelsea has separation anxiety. Courtney took good care of her and she got lots of attention. We will definitely be using Courtney again. Thank you so much!”
About: Here's a Rover profile description for you, Robert: "Hi there! I'm Robert, an animal lover with a warm heart for both cats and dogs. I have my own furry family members at home, (3 cats 2 dogs) so I understand the love and care pets need. Originally from a background in resort security, I honed my skills at prestigious locations like La Costa and Aviara Golf Resorts in Carlsbad. My experience there taught me the importance of vigilance, care, and responsibility—qualities I bring to pet sitting. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a guardian, or just some tender loving care while you're away, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Let's make sure your pets enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away!" I work at Bandon Dunes golf course but my hours vary so I am very flexible. I will work with you to make sure that your pet is taken care of. I currently work and live at Bandon Dunes golf club so I am unable to house animals but I have plenty of experience in housesitting.

Alexandra is seriously the sweetest! She took such good care of Duke and sent us so many pictures and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated! It made us feel so much better knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We’re so happy we found her and would definitely book with her again! ❤️
Julia provided daycare for our dog for 4 days while we were RV camping at San Elijo. Julia was super easy to work with and even picked up and dropped off our dog directly at our camp site which was amazing. Our high needs dog loved her. He would run up to her car when she pulled up. Having Julia's help added so much more freedom to our trip given a lot of places we were going were not dog friendly and it was hot. We are so grateful to have worked with her!
Linda was absolutely wonderful with Lady! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lady with her for the day. She sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated and definitely put my mind at ease. She was also so easy-going and flexible with both drop-off and pick-up. My pick-up time ended up being a little off from what we had planned, and she could not have been more gracious or accommodating about it. Linda is just lovely, and most importantly, I felt completely safe and secure knowing Lady was in her care. I would absolutely trust her with Lady again and highly recommend her!
She is the BEST!! Thank you for taking wonderful care of our dog Cosmo while we were away. She is very attentive and knowledgable with dogs. He was tired when we got home, which tells me he had a great time and got plenty of exercise & attention. She provided frequent updates of how our dog was doing which gave us so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!
Lan was very accommodating and flexible with my pickup and drop off times. She and her husband Thai were very kind and helpfulwith Ruby treating her like one of their own. Ruby did not want to leave their home on the last day. They followed Ruby's routine and did several extras for her. She enjoyed her few days of daycare and I give them 5 stars! They truly care about the dogs that come into their home, and Lan and Thai are very knowledgeable in the area of canine care and extremely trustworthy! Thank you Lan, Thai, and Rover.com for helping me in our time of need! Definitely will book with them again. Sincerely, Julie Lipman and Ruby

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cardiff
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Cardiff is $46 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $62 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 3,582 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cardiff. 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 Cardiff 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 3,582 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
