“Julia knows dogs. She is able to integrate a new dog in with her current group. She is the consummate "dog whisperer." They seem to listen and respond to what she says. My dog, Brie, loves going to Julia's. She is exhausted when she comes home and has a good workout with playtime. I highly recommend bringing your dog here. I trust Julia and am grateful that she is attentive to my pup.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a child and consider my dog, Olive to be my first child. I will give your dog the same care, attention, and affection that they receive from you, their owner. I have a flexible schedule during the week and my home is available for boarding on weekends. I’m willing to board during the week on a case by case basis. I have three boys, ages 9 and 5. I have a large, fenced in yard with lots of room to play. Your dog will receive a lot of attention from me and my children.
“Chico has had a couple visits now with Shirley and he seems to find a playmate or two each time. I’m glad he’s having a good time at her house. Shirley has communicated well and we feel confident that our dog is safe.”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
“Merilu was so wonderful for doggy day care for my dog! He stayed with her for three days when I had some long work days. He was so excited to see her after only the first day. It looked like he had fun with her cute bichon too. Highly recommend Merilu for day care!”
About: Hi! I’m Niraj, a lifelong animal lover with 9 years of experience caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just stopping by for feeding and playtime, I treat every pet like they’re family. I am currently at home the entire day so I’ll be able to take care and play with the pets. I am able to take them on walks, feed them and make sure they are happy. I understand how much your pet means to you—they’re family. That’s why safety, trust, and a stress-free environment are always my top priorities. Additionally, I have ample space inside the house and a fenced backyard with grass. I’d always be happy to take some pictures for you each day just in case you miss them 😊
“Stacy was a wonderful host and dog sitter! Her friendly and mild manner quickly put shado at ease and she was very comfortable staying in her home. The backyard made potty breaks much easier and also room for extra play. Stacy was communicative and shared updates with pics throughout the stay. I knew Shado was in very caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jovelle was attentive and pleasant to deal with - she took great care of Cali. She was great in her communication and her flexibility with timing was appreciated. Would definitely use again!”
“We absolutely love our pet sitter! River always comes home happy, tired, and excited after his visits. It’s clear he is well cared for and enjoys spending time there. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands, and we truly appreciate the love, attention, and care he receives every time. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog always looks forward to staying with Sabrina. He lets us know the minute he gets out of the car. She does an amazing job looking after our special guy! She's one of the few people I trust with him.”
“It was my puppy’s first time doing daycare, and Liam and his wife made it such a positive experience. When I dropped Loki off, he happily trotted off with them with no hesitation, and when I picked him up, he was in such a good mood. Liam and his wife are both such warm, friendly people. They kept us updated with photos and were super easy to communicate with. I’d absolutely rebook!”
“Corina is wonderful! So is her property. I rarely leave my dog so this was a bit stressful at first but Corina quickly eased my mind. My dog immediately connected with her, she is warm and kind. Will use her again”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Joanne was a lifesaver! When I dropped my dog off with Joanne, we realized I had booked daycare instead of boarding, but she was so sweet and very flexible. Even though she already had a house full of dogs, she gladly boarded my dog and took such good care of her. She introduced her to bully sticks, which she loved, and gave her plenty of playtime and exercise. Joanne was very responsive and sent me updates and pictures daily. Magi came home tired and happy;) I would use Joanne again and again!”
“Justine could not have been more accommodating in making sure our puppy Theo’s stay was inviting and overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to his next stay with her!”

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 Clayton 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 4,239 sitters in Clayton, 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.
