“I was in need of a last minute doggie daycare and Erica and were my saving grace. She and her husband were absolutely wonderful at taking care of my Miss.Tuna (Luna). She updated me often, was quick to respond to any of my texts, sent lots of photos, video, and overall made my first experience with Rover an amazing experience. I’m so thankful for her help and if I’m ever in need of a sitter will use her again in a heartbeat. So make sure to book Erica before I do! hahaha”

“Mickey is a wonderful dogsitter! She agreed to have a meet and greet with me to answer all my questions and brought her dog Oreo to meet my puppy Daisy. On the day I dropped off Daisy, she was very attentive to her first day in a new home and gave Daisy lots of attention. She also provided many photos and videos to show me my puppy was having a wonderful time with all the other dogs! At the end of the day I picked up a very happy puppy and feel very comfortable to have her as a long term dogsitter. thank you Mickey! :)”
“I’ve got a surprise plan for my family and had to find a dog sitter at the very last minute. Stephanie responded me very quickly and thank god she was available on holiday weekend and booked her immediately without knowing or ever meeting her in person. She was very good at communication and followed our direction for our dog’s meal plan and took him out for a several walks which he loves the most. She sent me a bunch of photos of my dog and kept me posted. She’s very calm, gentle and responsible and I’ll definitely contact her again! Thank you Stephanie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Irvine
Jordan was a reliable sitter. I appreciate how she planned a short meetup beforehand to make sure our dogs would get along to ensure they will both be safe. She sent us a lot of photo updates and Bongo came back to us looking well taken care of. No issues at all.
Teddy had such a great time with SaeWon! She was so kind, communicative, and made me feel at ease leaving him for daycare, especially since it was his first Rover daycare experience. Teddy came home happy and tired, which is always a great sign! I really appreciated the updates throughout the day, and it's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely book with SaeWon again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Teddy! 😊
Repeat customer here. I came back to Junping because she really cares for pets like it’s her own. She’s very caring and now my dog gets excited when he knows he’s going to see her. Her kids are also very loving and caring towards JB. Makes him feel like he’s at home!
My husband and I were sooo nervous to leave our baby with a stranger for the first time but twinkle was so warm and welcoming. Our puppy was nervous when we left but shortly after we received photos of him looking so happy! Twinkle sent us photos throughout his stay and I could tell he was totally comfortable, happy and content with her. I am so grateful for her taking in our baby and making him so comfortable.
Denney was great! He watched my dog Bongo while I was working late so I didn’t have to stress about walking or feeding him when I got back. Bongo also seemed very excited to go back to see Denney for his second daycare session. I will definitely book with him again!
Jennifer and David took great care of Olly during his 10 days of daycare! Olly has pretty bad separation anxiety, so I’m usually nervous leaving him, but they made him feel really comfortable and cared for. By the end, he was excited to see them, which says a lot. Super grateful for them and would definitely trust them with Olly again!
Yue did such a great care for our fur dog. She took in a last minute accommodation and I greatly appreciate her for it. She sent tons of cute pictures while watching Cannoli and sent me updates as well as questions. Thank you so much Yue and I definitely recommend her of trusting with your loving pet.
Reinaldo was great with our 6 month old puppy! He gave lots of updates which I appreciate. My pup came back happy and tired (which is always a blessing with a puppy). I found it sweet his whole family kept my dog entertained and played with him. Id definitely recommend and use again :)
Very impressed with Hong! We had a last-minute change of plans and needed a sitter for our girl Spoon, and Hong was absolutely amazing. She cared for Spoon like she was her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly thorough and keeps us updated throughout the day—even down to every bowel movement—which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely keep booking with her. Highly recommend! 🤍

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 East Irvine 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.

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.
