“Pup came back happy and tired - perfect! Love that Tammy’s pups made Skye feel right at home. Tammy seemed to treat Skye like one of her own. Definitely appreciated that Tammy invited to come inside to see her home and meet her pups. I didn’t see any pictures during the day, but it sounds like everyone was too busy playing to take pics - and that’s great, too! Love that my puppy gets some socialization with other pups, and came home happy. Would def have Skye stay there again.”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Bella has stayed with Amy &Justin now twice. And I am absolutely thrilled. She’s very relaxed when I pick her up so I know she had a good experience. Amy &Justin are a great team and communicate well. Bella loves kids so I’m sure she gets lots of love from their children. I feel such a relief finding Amy &Justin. They live close to me and they treat my dog like family. What more can you ask?”
“I can’t say enough good things about Leslie. She is the perfect dog sitter. Leslie was so kind and patient with my very sweet but somewhat timid little maltipoo. She has her home set up perfectly for dog care and is very flexible in meeting the needs of the dogs she watches. Her back yard is lovely and very secure. I highly recommend her.”
“We are so grateful Derek, Leslie and their family help look after our sweet fur babies when we are away. The Pitadors are always excited when they know they are going to these wonderful Rover sitter’s home and always come back to our home tuckered out from all the play, love and attention they’ve gotten!”
“Daria is Juneau’s favorite! She is super sweet and treats my dog with so much happiness and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in a pinch! Thank you!”
“Darlene is such a great sitter and host for my puppy! We have had several visits now and each one has been great. The photos and videos from my pup’s walks, play sessions, and naps are awesome, and I so appreciate the frequent and thorough communication during each visit. We have some special needs for my pup’s care, and Darlene is attentive, accommodating, and super understanding. We are very lucky to have found such a caring sitter!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and I am a very attentive and patient care giver. Any pet staying with me will get lots of attention and love. I will ensure timely feedings, plenty of fresh water, and lots of safety and love. I am a stay at home mom, and my oldest is in full time kindergarten, so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pet, 7 days a week. I have a recently remodeled fenced in back yard, that backs up to a beautiful, shaded nature walk on the edge of a wetlands nature preserve. Any walks we go on will have plenty of safe exploring for your pet. I have two male siamese cats of my own at home who are generally pretty tolerant of other animals. I also have two young children, ages 5 and 3 so as long as your pets are comfortable and good around kids we would love to love on your fur babies!
“Michael & Patricia were amazing! Honey was a last minute daycare, they were so loving. You can tell they love to give to dogs they provide services for. I will be taking Honey back just because they are so genuine. They provided me feedback the whole time and photos. Gave me a complete update when I picked her up. Honey will become a regular just so he has wonderful people in her circle. Plus gives me the opportunity to have so me time without any worries.”
“They took care of my pup like she was their own. Drop off was a breeze and pick up went flawlessly. They provided periodic updated of my dogd temperment and attitude which helped me feel at ease.”
“Whitney is amazing! Stella came home a happy and exhausted puppy! It can be hard leaving Stella alone most of the day. I feel guilty that she will either be laying around or staring out the window waiting for us to get home. Whitney is very sweet and Stella really likes her. Stella went right to her and Stella can be hesitant if she doesn't feel comfortable. I definitely recommend Whitney!!!”

“Lindsey is great, and we are fortunate that we live near her. She is quick to respond, provides regular updates, and genuinely treats our pups like a member of her family during stays. It is a relief when we know Lindsey is looking after our pups.”
“Breanna took great care of our dog, Jasper, during his daycare visit. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent photos, which gave us a lot of reassurance seeing how comfortable he was. It was nice to see him relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, and going on walks. Jasper even ate all of his food while he was there, which is always a great sign that he felt at ease in a new environment. Breanna was communicative, attentive, and clearly thoughtful about making sure he was comfortable. We really appreciate the care she provided and the updates she shared. Jasper seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up, and we’re looking forward to having him stay with Breanna again for future visits.”
“Thanks Julia for taking care of Emily. We loved getting the update on her progress and especially loved all the photos showing her playing with new doggy friends, exploring your beautiful garden, frolicking in the splash pad and posing with the bunny ears.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
We recently had Georgi stay with Julia, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Georgi had such a great time participating in all of the interactive activities and enrichment setups Julia provides for the dogs — you can truly tell how much thought and care goes into creating a fun environment for them. One thing I especially appreciated was the constant communication and the abundance of photos throughout the day. Seeing Georgi happy, engaged, and comfortable gave me so much reassurance knowing she was in such great hands. It’s obvious Julia genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and fun pet sitter!
Lucas was amazing with my puppy, Nala! He was incredibly welcoming from the start and made sure she was comfortable and cared for the entire time she stayed with him and Ferguson. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. Nala came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I also appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Lucas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Sara and her family are so sweet and gave my dogs a lot of attention. She sent me pictures of her kids playing with my dogs and I could tell that they were having a good time. Her home is set up really well for my dogs with the backyard covered patio. My dogs are funny about going out in the rain and it was raining in the morning so her having a covered patio was really good for my dogs. I definitely recommend Sara!!!! I now have a new dog sitter with Sara.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Citrus Heights on Rover is $32.19 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Citrus Heights 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 1,375 sitters in Citrus Heights, 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.
