About: Im just a girl that loves dog’s . I’m a dedicated dog lover who works from home, and your pup will be a welcome companion during the day. I provide plenty of walks, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for. My day starts early at 5 AM, and after work, we enjoy evening walks to the park. I live in a gated community with ample safe space for walking, and weekends are often spent running errands or relaxing. Your dog will have the freedom to roam throughout the day, but if I need to step out briefly for errands on weekends, they may need to be crated for a short time. Rest assured, I’ll make their comfort and well-being my top priority. Im up by 5am work from home , evenings we walk to the park.

“I really enjoy being able to leave my dog with Miguel for doggy daycare. Miguel always responds quickly to my requests and is dependable. I feel very lucky to find a dog daycare I can trust and depend on. Miguel is great and always 5 star service.”
“This was my first time using rover and Elizabeth did a great job with my dog Josie! She was super fast and responsive when I requested the booking. Very thorough with any questions or concerns I had. Very flexible with dropping off and picking up. I could tell that Elizabeth and her family had a great time with Josie and I do not have a single complaint! Overall genuine experience :)”
“This was my first big booking, I booked very last minute (same day) and Samantha came through for me, when I picked my baby up he seemed tired which means he had a lot of fun lol.”
“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!”

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my own dog and cat for years, giving them daily walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of love. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets countless times — everything from energetic puppies needing basic training and lots of exercise to senior dogs requiring gentle walks, medication administration, and extra patience.What sets me apart? I’m a local Downey guy who’s always on time, super reliable, and treat every pet like my own family member.

Plus, my flexible schedule means I’m available for last-minute bookings or overnight stays. Your pets will get safe, fun, and loving care every time! Pet care easily fits into my flexible daily and weekly routine. As a full-time real estate professional and local Downey resident, my schedule is adaptable — I’m often out showing properties or running errands around town, which makes drop-ins, walks, and midday check-ins super convenient. Mornings and evenings are wide open for longer walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays. I typically block out time for pet clients first thing so they always get my full attention and energy. Weekends are especially flexible for boarding or extended visits. I treat every booking like it’s my own pet — reliable, on-time, and with plenty of updates so owners can relax. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute drop-in or multi-day house-sitting, I make sure it works seamlessly with my day. I always put safety and comfort first, whether I’m at your home or hosting in mine. In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules.

I’m happy to accommodate special needs like puppy energy, senior mobility, or anxious pets with extra patience. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my top priority — they’ll come home happy and tired!
“Where do I start…. Sonia and her daughter are amazing people. The amount of love and care they gave to our baby maple is second to none. Definitely recommend, words don’t even begin to describe how grateful we are for them. Will definitely be booking again”
About: One thing about me, I genuinely care for your pet. I treat each pet as if they are my own and make sure to show that love and care throughout my time with them. Ive been a dog sitter and walker for over 9 years before joining this app. From puppies to seniors and with different health needs, I have the experience needed to take care of your pup. I now live in South Gate in a home with a fenced-in yard with convenient access to freeways and streets for easy commute. I understand the needs of different types of dogs from the overly friendly to very reactive and can accommodate to the dog’s needs accordingly. I currently have a 10 year-old husky and 1 year-old chihuahua mix I take care of at home. I’m currently in between jobs and have a lot of time on my hands. My time is most free during business hours but I am happy to accommodate to your scheduling needs. I currently live in an apartment. While it is a bit cramped, my husky is not territorial in the least and guest pups have an easy time accommodating to the space. If I am in someone else’s home, I will make sure to adhere to the rules and guidelines they provide me to take care of their pup(s).
“Absolutely love taking my girls with Maritza. She’s made me feel at ease since day 1 with tons of updates and pictures. My dogs get home exhausted and so happy! Thank you Maritza!”
About: I have experience with training and walking high-energy and strong breeds. I’ve raised a Husky, Labrador, and Pitbull mix, so I’m confident handling all sizes, puppies to seniors. Safe, reliable, and attentive—your dog is in experienced hands. I have always had a special spot for dogs! I’m a professional soccer player and while I’m in my hometown on vacation I have plenty of free time in my daily routine. Pet care fits in perfectly as I love staying active and enjoy spending that time walking, running, and caring for dogs. I’m flexible, reliable, and excited to give dogs the best walk or run they’ve ever had. I provide attentive, hands-on care in my home or a client’s home. I have a large backyard and a very friendly, playful Husky who loves walks and playtime with other dogs. I use positive reinforcement with treats, give plenty of attention, and always prioritize safety and comfort.
“Louisette was amazing with my dogs! I have two big labs and she was very welcoming. We had a meet and greet prior to the stay and she was very accommodating. My dogs felt very comfortable with her and her family! She even sent me pictures throughout the day which was very nice! I would totally recommend her service!”
“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.”
“Deana was very patient and easy to work with. Today was the first time my Luna had daycare and was happy as can be. I was glad to see a puppy that could keep up with her energy haha. Being a frenchie owner I wanted to make sure she was in good hands. Deana is experienced with frenchies as well which made me feel at ease.”

We highly recommend Miguel! He took very good care of our dog Toyo for daycare. His home is very safe and catered to the service he provides. Toyo is always excited to get dropped off and has the best nap ever after coming home. We would book Miguel over and over again!
Highly recommend! I'll start with my Lola (13 yr old, Papillon/Chihuahua mix) was at ease and happy with Nicole. Lola is usually anxious when I leave her anywhere, but she wasn't with Nicole. When I went to pick her up she didn't want to leave. Her eyes were happy and tail wagging when I picked her up. Nicole communicated clearly, was professional and kind. Will rebook when I need help with Lola.

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.
I had such an amazing experience with this dog sitter. She was super flexible with drop off and pick ups. She took very good care of my Alfie and he felt very comfortable and excited to be there. We are lucky to have found her and will be using her service again. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Downey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Downey on Rover is $31.08 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,857 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Downey. 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 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 8,857 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.
