“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!”
“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”
“We had a great experience with our dogs, Elmo and Ernie. Biswas was kind, attentive, and took great care of them. Communication was easy and we felt very comfortable leaving them in their care. We’re very happy with the experience and will definitely book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“I had the pleasure of having Awa take care of my anxious dog, Luna, and I couldn't be more grateful! From the moment I met her, it was clear they were truly caring and gentle with Luna. She was also flexible with timing, accommodating my schedule without hesitation. I highly recommend Awa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter for their furry friend!”
“If I could give 10 stars ⭐️ I would. I am so grateful to Manash and his family for taking my 3 big dogs.They truly are my all time companions and I knew from the start that they would be well taken care of. My son lives in the area and I was visiting from Idaho, and needed someone to watch them at the last minute. I was able to relax and enjoy my day, as Manash was sending photos and keeping me in the loop. I am so grateful and will hire him again, if needed, next time I visit my son. So much Gratitude Manash 🙏🐾♥️”

“Great experience from start to finish. I love how attentive Magin was with all of my pups needs. She also sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout his entire stay that really helped being away from him. It was our first time leaving Jack with anyone and we were so happy he was cared for so well. Knowing he was enjoying his stay through pictures and videos was the best part of this experience. Thank you so much Magin!”
“Nakul was the best thing that happened to my pups. I have many dogs and thus have worked with many sitters. But Nakul was the best sitter I have ever worked with. I needed to board my 18 dogs at the last moment because of some issues with my property. Nakul not only agreed at the 11th hour, but also took care of them like his own. All of my 18 dogs had a room for themselves and they had a big yard to run around. He took a great picture of my dogs all in one frame which I have never been able to. He is truly a dog whisperer. Nakul has earned a client for life. 100% recommended.”
About: I started this account few years ago but haven’t started working until very recently. Please trust I’ll give my best care! I haven’t gotten any bookings yet because a very bland review list. I trust that it’ll grow over time as I get my first clients! I grew up surrounded by pets, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets while they’re away because they know I’ll treat them like my own. I have experience raising my family’s two dogs when they were 8 weeks old. They’re 6 now. I’ve also cared for an elderly dog too. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine, meet your expectations, and communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or have any questions. I believe every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized care. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, including those who require extra attention. I’ve cared for a dog with a hip tumor that needed daily cream application, so I’m comfortable following special care instructions and medication routines. I’m also happy to water your plants while you’re away—I’m a proud plant mama, too! My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently an online college student. I have classes every Wednesday on zoom. I pretty much free everyday, just need some time to go to get my workout in! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime. I’ll make sure they always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. If your dog gets along easily with both of those animals then it won’t be an issue. I have a backyard where they can play or sun bathe. I closely supervise pets, keep anything potentially harmful out of reach, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I always prioritize your pet’s well-being and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning.
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home with my wife and I’ve worked in a boarding facility! I also have taken care of my friends 3 dogs on multiple occasions My day to day schedule involves managing and owning my own Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym, Payback Jiu Jitsu at 583 W 10th St Pittsburg, which is a short drive from my home to allow me to take car of any animal as long as I need to before working. My wife and I work together on taking care of pets, so if anything you’re getting double the care for the price of one! I like to make sure the pets are always taken care of and just aren’t cooped up in their crate all day. I’ll also play with them if they have high energy or work their mind to help tire them out! My wife is also a rover sitter who is regularly taking care of other fur babies so if your pet requires extra attention we make a good team to make sure your pet is well taken care of!
“Great first trial with Jess. Our dog Meeko is a rescue and has abandonment anxiety but she did good for her first daycare trial. Thank you Jess for taking good care of her. We look forward to putting her in your trusting environment for our upcoming weekend trip.”
“Michele was great! My dog stayed with her for daycare. He was comfortable and happy. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I appreciated. Michele and her husband are long time pet parents so they have a high level of knowledge and experience. Their home is dog safe and their yard is secured. 5 stars.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Clayton is $56 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $67 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 4,201 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Clayton. 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 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,201 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
