“I’m so happy I booked with Savannah :) throughout the day she provided me with updates and pictures. At pick up time my pet Pockets seemed really chill and happy. He has separation anxiety so I was really surprised that he wasn’t stressed out. I would 100% book again :))”
“Miguel always does a great job with our pup. She is a bit anxious but enjoys being at Miguel’s and running around his yard with other dogs. He gives many updates and is very flexible with drop off and pick up. He is our go to for doggy daycare for our pup!”
“Manny loved his time with Laura and came home very happy! From the start, Laura was very communicative and kind. She made sure we were able to see the space that Manny would be in at her home and shared pertinent information about how she would care for him. She shared several very cute pictures of Manny during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy and we could tell he had a great time. She outdoor space she has is perfect for Manny, a guy who loves to sniff and just hang outside.”
About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
“Toby had such a good time with Omolara and her family. He came back ready for bed. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating for us and understanding! I will definitely rebook, Toby well taken care of, thank you!!”
“Marina has been absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies I highly recommend Marina. My puppy pretzel, isn’t very social, and when I brought her to Marina’s house for a meet up, she wasn’t initially friendly towards the other dogs. However, Marina patiently worked with pretzel and carefully introduced her to the group. I am impressed by Marina’s ability to create a calm and welcoming environment. She is incredibly patient, caring, and always goes the extra mile to help. She’s also flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help! On top of that, her rates are very reasonable!”

Miguel was great! Friendly and gentle with my pup. Great setup for watching pups inside and out. Very clean house and yard. Thank you for letting me see your place beforehand so I could see where Eddie would stay. Thank you also for helping regarding his back issues i just want to make sure it doesn't get worse. Highly recommend!
Nicole is amazing! She was able to take great care of my energetic puppy with no issues. My puppy went calmly to her hands and was very calm when I picked her up. She loved spending her day with Nicole. It seems Lady has a new favorite sitter. I highly recommend her.
Shannon great dog sitter 🫶👍..... It was a last minute booking and she was kind enough to take my Louie 🐕 in on a early Saturday morning 🌄. Follow up pictures and videos provided 👍🫶. I know Shannon gave our Louie 🐕the attention he needed upon arrival for pick up Louie was happy and no sign of a stressed out pug! I will definitely be booking again for day care! Totally recommend Shannon she will treat your furry baby like the furry babies they are. Thanks again Shannon for this great experience. 😄 Louie 🐕 approves dog sitter!
Excellent experience from start to finish. Arianna was very attentive and took great care of my dog at all times. She kept me updated in real time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Her home is beautiful and the location is great. I would definitely hire her again whenever needed and highly recommend her.
Henry was very flexible with working with me and my girls. He was understanding with the needs of what each one of my pups needed and he took his time to help my pups warm up to him and feel comfortable around him. He provided me updates with how they were doing and was able to walk them once my pups settled and felt comfortable. Would book again.

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 Downey 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 8,795 sitters in Downey, 88% 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.
