“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“Thank you so much Dena for taking care of our Luna on a short notice and for her goodie bag of treats. After reading your details and all the great reviews I knew she would be in good hands.”
“Clara was wonderful and very communicative throughout the whole day with Tofu. You can tell she really truly cares not just for her dog, but every dog. She is very sweet and kindhearted and Tofu had a blast staying with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day as well which I really appreciated and spent lots of time with him. We will be in touch soon again, thank you!!”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Sara! She had a great stay and felt right at home. It’s such a relief finding someone we can completely trust—we'll definitely be back! 😊”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Oreo received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. The updates and photos throughout the day gave me so much peace of mind, and Oreo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Thank you for treating him like family — we’ll definitely book again!”
“Leena is very nice and her home is setup perfectly to watch your fur babies. Her dog Prince is a sweet boy too. She provides walks, updates, pictures, and everything you can ask for from a sitter.”
“Grace is wonderful! She clearly understands the world of pets 🐶. She completely understood my dog’s personality and knew exactly how to work with him. She welcomed him into her home as if it was his own. She sent several pictures and updates of our dog hanging out with his new friends 🐾. She took him on walks and provided a detailed activity report upon pick-up. She even accommodated a last-minute change with no problem. We will definitely visit Grace again!”

About: I grew up with many different types of pets. Currently, my family has a cat (at their home) and I have a dog at my house so I have experience with different personalities and needs. I do work full time, so I am mostly available on weekends and evenings only. But I typically walk my dog 3 times a day and can do the same for another dog in my care. I do have a dog-friendly dog at home so I have toys and treats available (only if I get the OK to feed). I also am active and like to be outdoors so walks will be plenty.
“Highly recommend Dylan! He’s local, super reliable, and great with my puppy, Olivia. He has two small dogs that Olivia absolutely loved playing with, which made her experience even better. It’s great to find a sitter where your pet gets both personal attention and social time.”

About: We are a dog family of over 20 years. My husband and I are retired, and our daughter is in her first year of college so we’re officially empty nesters! We have pet-sit for neighbors for several years and can accommodate any special requests (i.e. walks, feedings, medication, etc). Our only setback is that we are unable to care for male dogs in our home due to territorial marking. We have a 5 year old Boxer/Terrier mix and a 2 year old Husky/Shepherd mix (both female) to keep your fur baby company. We love to play and cuddle with our furry guests and welcome them to our family. 💗 We feed our own two dogs twice a day on a schedule and go on daily walks. My husband and I are retired and with our 16 year old daughter, we have plenty of time to play, interact and care for your fur baby. We have a large fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We can easily crate your dog if needed or they are welcome to sit with us on the couch with our family.

I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.

Daaliyah went above and beyond for my senior girl Chardonnay and would highly recommend her! She walked her even when it was raining today and provided her with great care :) She was very responsive and sent timely photo updates. I could tell Chardonnay was in great hands with her.
Highly recommended! Cosmo had a great time with Sneha. He usually takes a bit of time to get used to new humans but clicked instantly with Sneha. Sneha played with Cosmo and gave him lot of attention which accelerated the bonding. She took him out for a couple of walks in the neighborhood which was great. She kept us updated with photos and videos. We’ll be back again definitely!
Penny had a wonderful time at Clara's house with her adorable dog Diego! Clara is kind, caring, and very attentive. She kept us updated with photos/messages and took great care of Penny. We really appreciated how comfortable and loved she made her feel. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her 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!
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!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dougherty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Dougherty is $49 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $70 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 November 2026, there are 5,676 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dougherty. 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 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,676 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.

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.
