“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.”
“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!”

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 😊
“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”
“I couldn't be happier with Monica, This is the third time I've used her services for my dog, and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“We were SO lucky to find Jovelle on this app! Her communication is excellent and she followed all care instructions perfectly. Shadow was recovering from a surgery at the time and Jovelle made sure he was safe (and didn’t mess with his incision) and she wasn’t intimidated by having to take care of a recovering dog at all! Overall, I would recommend her for all dog care needs.”
“Stacy was fantastic. I felt confident leaving my dog with her. She has years of experience. He made himself right at home sniffing everything and playing with the toys she had. He got a lot of attention and love from her. I enjoyed getting photos and a video of him while he stayed with her. 10/10 would recommend and planning to book for future doggy day care and overnights!”
“It’s our first time leaving our pup with Sylvia and she had a absolute blast! Sylvia made us feel confident and safe leaving our baby with her. She even took her an extra couple of hours since we had dinner out that night. Winnie came back exhausted and happy!”

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 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
