“Salien was super nice and my dog seemed to really like her. She sent me many photos throughout the day. I felt comfortable leaving my baby there and that’s a hard thing for me to say since this was the first time I left him in somebody else’s care?.”
“Me and my companion Smoky had a great first experience. Smoky is a very energetic and very active dog. Videos and the pictures that the Sitter provide was gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the first experience. Me and Smoky are from Texas and have never experienced dog sitting before I’m very happy to not have any complications or worries. I really recommend the service.”
“We (more importantly Cody) loved his time at Joyce's! We really appreciated the updates and pictures too throughout his stay! Cody seemed to have warmed up so quickly and had a blast! We are definitely going to rebook with Joyce!”
About: *I just have one dog in my home. The other dog in my profile is my mom’s.* I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of puppies, seniors and have had to give medicine including IVs, insulin, liquid and pills. I have watched friends and family’s dogs in the past and really enjoy it! I work from home so will be very present if your dog is staying with me. I have a small pug mix as well and walk her at least once a day and would take your dog with us if they’re up for it. I also have a doggy door for easy potty breaks. My yard is fenced and I keep my home neat with nothing laying around for dogs to get a hold of. My yard is also neat and clean.

“Laura (also goes by Stella) was amazing with Nala. She took her out on 3 potty breaks throughout the day and sent a few pictures to keep me updated. Nala is typically a shy and timid dog, but she quickly got comfortable with Laura. I will definitely book her services again!”
“Karolina was a total sweetheart and my pup Teddie was quick pals with Karolinas little cutie Pumpkin. Would bring Teddie here anytime and know she is in great hands!”
“Cara came through for us in the best way! She accepted a truly last-minute request to dog sit our pup, Nelly, and handled everything like a pro. Nelly is a high-energy puppy who loves to play and be around other dogs, so we’re always a little nervous leaving her with someone new. Cara was patient, attentive, and made sure Nelly had a fun, safe day full of play and activity. Our trip ended up taking longer than expected, and Cara was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we’re genuinely grateful for. She also kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day (which gave us so much peace of mind). And honestly, go look at Nelly’s profile picture… Cara took it, and it’s adorable. We just picked Nelly up and I couldn’t wait to leave this review: she exceeded her daily step count, and she’s currently snoring so loud—which tells me she had an amazing time. 😂 We’ll 100% be reaching out to Cara again the next time we’re in the area, and I know Nelly will be excited to see her too!”
“First time using this app and seriously these were the best sitters I could have asked for!! They set the bar high! I was needing a sitter last minute as I traveled from Utah with my pup for my husband’s surgery in LA, and they responded so quickly and were able to help in this situation. I got pics throughout the day, which was great because I was so nervous about leaving Maserati with anyone at all. Thank you for putting me at ease! Xoxo”

Conveniently located, easy drop off and pick up.”

About: I love animals and being around them is a true pleasure and privilege. I can't wait to meet your babies and take care of them! I live next to Ascot hills with lovely hiking trails and I especially enjoy taking dogs and friends there just before sunset to enjoy the trees and breeze. Hydration is very important to me (particularly in the summer heat) and I have a yard with trees for shade and potty breaks every hour.
“James was great with Zac and made everything easy and stress free. I really appreciated the care, communication, and attention he gave during the stay. Would definitely book with him again. 😊”

“My dog had such a wonderful day with Jana and her family! They were so sweet to her-- Rocky got to run around outdoors for so much of the day and came back happy and tired. Thank you for such wonderful care, excited to book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - City Terrace
Madison was a life safer after my sweet Hazel’s spay surgery. I was required to go to work on short notice the day after her surgery so not only was my pup not feeling great but she had never been left with anyone else or spent her day at an unfamiliar place. I was anxious about leaving her because she can be a pretty shy and nervous girl to begin with and she had already had a pretty traumatic day so as a dog mom, I was pretty worried how all that stress may show up in someone else’s home. Madison was very patient at drop off and aloud Hazel the time and space needed to be shy but curious and approached her gently. She sent immediate communication after I left to let me know how she was settling in and continued to provide pictures and updates throughout the day which was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I felt confident Hazel was safe and being cared for just as well as she would be at home. Definitely keeping Madison in mind for any dog or cat sitting needs going forward.
Me and my companion Smoky had a great first experience. Smoky is a very energetic and very active dog. Videos and the pictures that the Sitter provide was gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciate the first experience. Me and Smoky are from Texas and have never experienced dog sitting before I’m very happy to not have any complications or worries. I really recommend the service.
Javey took excellent care of Penny. I could tell she had a very active day with his big dogs Panko and Boba because she slept hard when she got home. They are gentle giants, don’t let their size concern you. They are well behaved and so sweet. Javey kept in constant contact throughout the stay with photos and texts, so I knew she was fine the whole time.
Roschel was wonderful—and she was assisted by two small “elves” (her children!) who loved playing and entertaining Tubby in his exciting day with them. Roschel was very communicative, sent updates on how my little pup was doing- including two videos!! I highly recommend Roschel: a lovely family of love and nice setting where my pup could play and run around and enjoy stimulation—and he even got in a nap! Highly recommended!
Laura (also goes by Stella) was amazing with Nala. She took her out on 3 potty breaks throughout the day and sent a few pictures to keep me updated. Nala is typically a shy and timid dog, but she quickly got comfortable with Laura. I will definitely book her services again!
Absolutely! Here's a warm, thoughtful review that captures your appreciation and Chuchul’s happy stay: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be more grateful to T’yan and her partner for the incredible care they gave our dog, Chuchul. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident he was in loving, capable hands. They made sure he got plenty of outdoor time, kept him safe and comfortable, and treated him like one of their own. What really stood out was how communicative and thoughtful they were throughout his stay. We got regular updates that gave us peace of mind and even a few sweet moments that made us smile. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they host. We’ll definitely be bringing Chuchul back—he came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, heart-centered pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in City Terrace on Rover is $32.1 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 City Terrace 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 8,512 sitters in City Terrace, 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.
