“My Siberian Husky came back very happy and tired from a fun full day! I really appreciated that he got a long walk first thing and had company and play time all day in a safe, clean house. Really gave me peace of mind and helped me out with my after-work evening errands to have a calm tired dog.”
“Clara was amazing with our super energetic 10 month old puppy. She was very patient and took really good care of him. She was also very accommodating of my schedule and was willing to work around it. Guduchi looks forward to see his next stay with you.”
“Susan was wonderful with Charlie! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Susan immediately put us at ease. She is such a sweet and caring person, and Charlie warmed up to her quickly. Susan sent updates and adorable photos throughout the day, took Charlie on walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was safe and comfortable in her home. She was very responsive, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions about Charlie’s routine and preferences. Her calm, loving energy truly stood out❤️ Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and I absolutely trust Susan to watch him again. She is reliable, kind, patient, and cares for pets like family. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter who will give their dog the love and care they deserve.”
About: Have a 6 year old Cattle dog myself, a well mannered and friendly pup to play with yours during the stay! I pay very close attention to pets needs, and love keeping them happy with entertaining play, walks, and healthy food. Currently work from home full time but take frequent breaks throughout the day to tend to pets, to feed them, play with them and let them run around in the yard, or take for a walk. I have a single family home with a secure fenced yard. Your pup will always be in a secure location or on a leash during a walk. I never let dogs off-leash on a walk even if their recall can be trusted.
“During the Thanksgiving week, I needed a daycare place where to safely take care of my dog for 6 hours around Livermore area. I contacted 5 different Rover sitters, but she was the only person who was available. Not only that she sent me the pictures every hour, which was not I only felt safe but I could have seen that my dog was staying in a clean and healthy environment. If I were to visit Dublin/Livermore area, I will be requesting a daycare. This has been a superb experience for sure. Thank you again!”

“This is the second time I've left my baby girl with Sunayana, and I couldn't be more impressed or more grateful for finding her! She takes care of my pup as I would. She's gentle and caring, and her kids even pitch in playing games and making the days a treat for my doggo. She is so easy to communicate with and has been great with my schedule. And her home is a true respite. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
About: I have two babies boys myself: a corgi and a mini goldendoodle, and have been sitting dogs for friends and others. I know how to take care of dogs, not just feeding and walking them, but also genuinely caring for them, taking them out for fun, playing with them and mental development. On my wfh days I take dogs out for a walk around lunchtime, and park playtime before dinner, and play with them throughout the day during my breaks from work! I have a spacious house with fenced backyard, two dogs to keep your baby company. I have experience taking care of up to 4 dogs at the same time, managing conflicts, supervising play and treats. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our house - couch, bed, office, backyard, chairs, bench, wherever they’re comfortable!

“A was wonderful with Bear. She was very accommodating in letting me drop him off very early in the morning and understanding when I was running late picking him up. Her home is warm and inviting and she made sure to send pictures throughout the day. I can tell my baby was very comfortable and I was very happy and will have A watch him again in the future.”

Rachna has a lot of love for animals. She was very kind and patient to Luma, even when he exhibited anxious barking and whining continuously as it was only his second time with a daycare pet sitter. Although, I had to pick up Luma earlier, I really appreciated Rachna communicating with me and genuinely showed concern for his anxiousness. Hope it works out next time when Luma gets more used to daycare.
April is super kind and accommodating. Luma came back home very happy and I'm very happy to have found her. She provided ample of pictures of her interaction with Luma which definitely gave me great peace of mind as Luma is a 9-month puppy experiencing his very first daycare session. I will definitely be requesting her again!

Continue to be so appreciative of Carolyn. She responded to a last minute request for all day care when we were really in a pinch. I was able to rest easy while our dog had an incredibly fun day. He is always so over the moon to see her. As a pet parent, it's so reassuring to see her true love and devotion for animals. Thank you again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dougherty on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Dougherty 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 5,768 sitters in Dougherty, 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.
