“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”
“Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.”
“Thanks to Rachel and Ryan for the last minute help wit my Starla. There updates were very assuring and there love for dogs shows. I would definitely recommend these two kind folks to anyone!”
“Irene loves dogs so much and is so attentive to dogs’ needs! She is so patient with dogs like mine that can be a little needy or a bit troublesome at times. She’s a great choice for watching all kinds of dogs but especially ones that need just a little bit more attention.”
About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who understands that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member! Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, puppies, and dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, reinforcing training, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. My goal is to care for every dog as if they were my own and make sure they come home happy, healthy, and well-loved. I work remotely most weekdays, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks can be one-on-one or with my friendly puppy if your dog enjoys having a companion. On weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time exercising, playing, or relaxing with your pup based on their energy level and routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced backyard for supervised play, and my friendly Shepsky puppy loves making new friends—especially active dogs who enjoy having a playmate. If your dog prefers their own space or needs downtime, I’m happy to separate them or crate them according to your instructions. My home is fully puppy-proofed, clean, and designed with dogs in mind, and I always take a patient, calm approach to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Great job taking care of our dog. Christopher is very responsive and communicated with us effectively to update us on our dog status. He is also very kind and considerate”
“Malcom was very professional and took care of Frodo, our Pembroke Welsh Corgi for two consecutive days as a day care service. He sent updates regularly and Frodo was super happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Malcom to anyone is looking a great service”

About: ⭐️ Certified Pet CPR/First Aid ⭐️ Updates with photos and videos ⭐️ Personalized Activity Form Hi, I'm Celeste! 🩵 I'm an Anthropology student at San Francisco State University, and a volunteer at the California Academy of Sciences. I've loved animals my entire life and believe every pet deserves kindness, patience, and respect. My studies and volunteer work have deepened my appreciation for animals and conservation. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior needing gentle care, I'll follow their routine carefully and treat them like family while you're away. 🩷 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to each pet I care for. Beginning in late August, I'll be attending San Francisco State University, but I've arranged my class schedule to maintain availability throughout the week. I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and consistent communication, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐾 I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I share my home with two young cats, one senior cat with a disability, and one senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. My pets are friendly and well-socialized, and I have a secure yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I'm Pet CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and have experience providing patient, gentle care to senior and special-needs pets. I'll also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. ✨
“Super sweet and accommodating. My vet canceled an appointment last min and they had availability at another location that day. She was able to drop him off and pick him up especially since I was going away for the weekend and really needed him to be see. By the vet. Pluto though enjoyed his stay and was very happy at pick up. She also communicated throughout the day which I loved! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Tiffany is super communicative and flexible! Dallas seemed to enjoy his time staying with her and he seems tired out when we pick him up because she often walks him or takes him to the park. Would 100% recommend :)”
About: I have been a caregiver for animals for 16 years, I love animals as they bring joy to my family and myself. I enjoy giving walking, feeding, playing and giving them bubble baths. Treats are also a must!! I’m currently home full time, so your pet will have all the attention it needs and deserves. My day starts early so I can take all of the dogs on their morning walk. I have a fully fenced yard and 2 fury friends for your pet to play with safely. All animals sleep indoors and if crating is required that can be provided as well. I will be the sole caregiver giver of all pets.
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
About: *Please read under “A Typical Day” for more information on pack walks! I would love to have your pup join! 🐕🐩 ** Due to landlord’s request, I can only board dogs 40lbs and smaller. My pup gets very anxious/scared of certain breeds, to ensure the safety of all dogs, I will no longer be able to board French Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, American Bullies, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Viszlas, Large Doodles and German Shepards** Apologies for any inconvenience this may bring. I have raised animals all my life- ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and even lizards! I own a 2 year old small mixed pup who makes a great playmate! I have volunteered for my local SPCA for several years and helped foster and trap feral kitties for a healthy future. I currently walk dogs and worked part time at a dog hotel so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and needs. DROP OFF/PICK UP: Due to landlord's request, dogs must be dropped off no earlier than 7am and picked up no later than 10pm. I am very flexible if plans change and would be more than happy to accommodate to new changes in pickup/drop off times as long as they are in this time frame. If anything changes, please let me know at least a day before. I currently freelance and walk dogs full time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! My dogs make great playmates if your dog has a lot of energy or can get anxious! I take the dogs out every 2-3 hours to ensure they have plenty of potty breaks, playtime and time to sniff! I have a large fenced in yard (photos provided) to ensure your dog has a lot of space to run around and explore. If your dog needs a morning and/or evening walk please let me know! COMPLEMENTARY BATH: Having taken my past dogs to boardings and worked at a dog hotel, I understand how smelly/dirty some pups can get when they are having fun. Due to this, I happily offer complimentary baths for those stays that are 7 days or longer! If you dog has anxiety around baths, let me know, I would be happy to try for a wipe down and brushing as a substitution. SENIOR/DISABLED PUPS: I have a soft spot for my senior pups! Unfortunately due to past incidents, I can no longer take on dogs that are older than 12 years of age. I apologize for any inconvenience! If your dog is a senior or has mobility issues, please let me know prior to booking. The living part of my home is on the second floor so there are stairs. I am more than happy to carry and assist your pet if needed, just let me know! If your dog wears diapers or has trouble with their bladder, I am more than happy to have them wear diapers or put pee pads on the floor- please bring them. I do have some disposable ones just in case! I also have a pet stroller if your little guy likes to get fresh air and wants to go on walks with my pups! Currently, I work part time Friday-Sunday in the morning, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! We will start our day by going in the backyard to get some exercise/ bathroom breaks. As soon as your pup gets back inside, I will prep their breakfast and separate them during feeding time. If you dog takes a morning walk, we will do so after around the quiet neighborhood. I take the dogs out every two/three hours or more if needed to ensure they get plenty of time outdoors! We love the beach! Your furry friend may be seen there on multiple occasions throughout their stay :) I have a large, double fenced backyard and monitor the dogs at all times when they are outside. Because some dogs can be food aggressive, I ALWAYS separate dogs during meal time.
“This was our first time using Rover, we were nervous but Karen and Jeff were wonderful! I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom and they sent videos and photos throughout the day without me even asking. Provided so many updates ! Bullet looks forward to hanging out with Boba again!”
About: We have owned dogs most of our life and currently have a young Boxer/Doberman mix named Ruby. Training, exercise, and structure are a big part of our daily routine, so we are comfortable with energetic dogs, puppies, and reinforcing good habits. We pay attention to the details and treat every dog like they're my own. Pet care is already built into our day. My dog gets regular walks, playtime, and training sessions, so caring for another dog fits naturally into my routine. My wife, Miu and I work from home can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. In our house we have fenced yard and have a lots of space for playing inside too. We only host one dog at a time so we can give your dog plenty of attention, and care. We try to keep things as close to your dog's normal routine as possible. We will follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and sleeping arrangements, and we will send updates so you know how things are going. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and make your time away stress-free.
“Linda is awesome. She and her partner took such a good care of my dog. They were kind, patient, and caring. They asked detailed questions before the drop off. Mandy spent a day at Linda’s place with their sweet pitbull girl. Linda kept me updated through out the whole stay, kept me informed. It really made me feel at ease knowing my dog is doing ok and safe. Absolutely recommended and would book again.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Daly City is $56
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Daly City
We've had an amazing experience with Gordon and Allison. We have an anxious rescue pom with incontinence that's controlled via medication. She has to go potty more often than most pups due to her incontinence. We're always nervous about leaving her with other folks. When we did our initial meet and greet, Gordon shared their process with us and asked a lot of thoughtful questions to get to know us and Rose better. During her first few days and weeks with them, they paid close attention to her and shared details with us on how she was doing, which we truly appreciated. They're very easy going, communicative, and flexible. Rose has now been going to doggie daycare about twice a week (sometimes 3x) for a month and a half. She gets very excited to see Gordon, Allison, and family. She's never been this excited for doggie daycare or boarding. We're so happy that we've found someone who we can trust and who Rose truly enjoys being around. They truly care about Rose and it shows. I feel like it's rare to find someone who cares about your pet as much as you do. Thank you for treating Rose like family!
We had a wonderful experience Marie Elenore! She was available on very short notice for doggie day sitting and was incredibly responsive and flexible, including with our later pickup times. She sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the day. Most importantly, Archie seemed completely comfortable and happy with her home. We’d absolutely book with her again!
Vivian is super professional, organized and great with communication. She sent me a questionnaire to fill out beforehand to make sure all of my pup's needs were able to be met. Her resident dog Roman is a big sweetie whose playful energy matched my dog well. Vivian sent me photos and videos throughout the day of them playing together in their fenced-in backyard space and cuddling together in the dog bed area indoors. So glad my pup has made a friend!
Martin and Robert love dogs and took wonderful care of Poppy. They sent me a lot of updates and pictures and Poppy was so happy in all of them! They took her on 4 walks! Robert even sewed her favorite toy back together! Really wonderful couple and animal lovers — you can tell.
I just adopted a new dog 3 days ago from the shelter who I learned has very bad separation anxiety. My only option was a dog sitter or doggy day care. Kim was extremely accommodating accepting my request only the night prior. I was nervous about leaving my baby with someone we didn't know but Kim soothed those worries in a heartbeat. She sent updates and pictures throughout their time. She was so sweet and I know Milo was in loving hands. I will definitely book with Kim again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Daly City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Daly City on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,491 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Daly City. 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 Daly City 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 4,491 sitters in Daly City, 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 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.
