About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently taking a break from my full time job. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.

“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! From dogs to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, I’ve grown up understanding that every pet has their own personality, needs, and special place in their family’s heart. I’m also a master’s-level mental health therapist, so patience, compassion, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m currently a proud dog mom to Squirrel, my sweet senior rescue. Caring for her has given me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding an animal’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I believe in meeting animals where they are and providing the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. One of the perks of my schedule is that I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me flexibility throughout the week! I have Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely free from client sessions, giving me plenty of dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. During the rest of the week, I also have breaks between appointments that allow me to accommodate additional pet care needs, depending on availability. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to provide extended companionship and a consistent presence for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a pet parent and a mental health professional, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines and follow their family’s instructions closely. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions when applicable, and any special considerations related to age, temperament, or health. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level rather than rushing interactions or expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also believe communication is essential. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, thoughtful care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you peace of mind.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cortez

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 160 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cortez. 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 Cortez 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 160 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 160 sitters in Cortez, 86% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
