About: We have lots of experience in raising and loving dogs for over 40 years with the ability to care for any age or size. We've had dogs all our married life and our most recent dog, Reba is looking for some friends to play with. We're able to cater to your dogs special diets, continue to implement your training techniques and provide that loving home while you are away. As a retired husband and wife duo our schedules are quite flexible and we spend most of our time at home with our dog Reba. Drop off anytime between 7 AM - 8 PM (please inquire for drop off outside these times for availability). A doggie door provides easy access to our fully fenced in backyard with plenty of grass, a lovely patio and lots of shade to create the perfect space for your dog to lounge outside. Inside the home we're able to provide a safe space to eat and a cozy environment where dogs can lounge on the couches and escape the heat. While we don't allow dogs in our bed you're more then welcome to bring their favorite bed/blanket and we'll provide a quiet space for them to dream away. Our grandchildren visit often (ages 10 +) so kid friendly dogs are a must.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, a mixture of my own pets and those of my family and friends. Having grown up with dogs, I have constantly been around them and have grown to be comfortable with them. I am also willing to learn and adapt to take care of and meet the needs of your animal as best as possible. Every time I go to walk, play, or take care of your dogs, I will commit to showing them all the love while you are away! I have a dog of my own- a while Terrier Mix that is always full of energy! I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a ton of availability and am able to accommodate lots of walks, drop-ins, and house sittings as needed. I am also able to accept last-minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to take your doggy on walks or to the park. Anything that you already do to make your dog feel comfortable! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I also clean up after pets, monitor their behavior, and make sure the home stays clean and secure. I understand every pet has different needs, so I always try to be patient, reliable, and attentive to their personality and routine.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was a child myself! From Pomeranians, to terriers, to huskies, I enjoy caring for them all. Your dogs will love hanging with me and going for walks. I have a very quiet, stress-free home (just me and my husband) which will especially be great for dogs that are sensitive to loud noises. I will do all I can to make sure they are treated like family and feel comfortable with me. I’m currently off work for the Summer as I am employed in a school district. I don’t go back until late August so I have pretty open availability aside from some events here and there over the Summer. Whether you need overnight care or just a couple hours of day sitting, I’d be happy to help. I have a one bedroom apartment with pretty open space. It’s just me and my husband (who works until 5pm). We’re in a neighborhood where I can safely take your dog for walks or outside to use the restroom. We do not have a fenced yard… but there is a grassy area for your pets to use the restroom right outside.
About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.
“Super appreciative of Janet taking in my pup, Kai, for the day. She was very communicative and I really appreciated the time flexibility. Kai was so happy when we picked her up and we would love to work with Janet again”
“We had a busy day planned and Eric was extremely accommodating with a same day appointment and our schedule. Once we arrived he was welcoming and being that we’re new to this service l, he helped us navigate through it. He communicated throughout the day and sent us photos of our pups day. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything Eric!”
“Sarah has great approach to dogs, she was responsive, kept us updated with pics and movies of our dog, was kind, friendly and flexible. Excellent dog sitter Highly recommended ???”
“Miriam was the perfect host to my Golden Robbie pup. Her 3 dogs were very welcoming as well. Robbie and Miriam's doodle ended up best pals. Miriam is highly communicative and sends pics and is very reassuring ! I wholeheartedly recommend Miriam and her care.”
About: I have been watching family dogs and friends dogs since I was young. I love all types of animals from dogs to cats! I would love to watch all types of dogs,cats, etc and get to know them. Im currently looking to become a full time dog sitter. I can watch your dogs or cats full time and can fit them into my schedule all week. I have a loving home that all the people that I live with love and care for dogs. I have a back patio that your fur babies can use and a lovely park nearby that I can take them for walks and play. If needed at the dog parents home I can follow instructions to whatever you need.
“Cristina took care of our fur baby Cujo, for 7 days of day care. For the first time in his 2 years on earth Cujo felt comfortable enough to play with other dogs. We consider it a minor miracle, and we are so grateful for Cristina’s skill, patience, and willingness to give each dog in her care just what it needs to feel secure and loved while it’s parents are gone. Thank you Cristina!! Cujo will be back.”
“Mel is an excellent dog sitter! We booked our first day care before my dog, Lucifur, was diagnosed with some limiting orthopedic issues that will soon require surgery. That means he now has to have his movement someone restricted to protect him from injury. When I gave Mel this update and asked if he would still be able to care for Lucifur, he was enthusiastic to watch him. In fact, when I arrived on the first day, Mel had thoughtfully set up a secure area for Lucifur to relax in AND had a plan to keep our dogs separated so Lucifur wouldn't get over excited and run/jump around. Mel was really thoughtful in ensuring that Lucifur had an environment that was safe and he put me at ease. Lucifur enjoys hanging out with Mel and Roxy and I feel confident that he's in great hands. Mel will be out #1 Rover choice from now on!”
“We’ve booked with Mike and Ja Hyung twice, and both were great experiences. Mike sent us photos, was prompt with responses, and was flexible with our schedule. I never had to worry when she was under their care. Definitely great dog sitters who care and are attentive to any fur baby they watch!”
“For our first time using the Rover app it was a 10/10 we got lucky to find Lorena, our experience was great! It was our puppy’s first time staying at someone else’s house and we were nervous. Thankfully Lorena sent us pictures, updates and followed through all my pups needs and always responded right away. She was even kind enough to let us drop off our pup earlier than our scheduled time when we asked. We found our new dog sitter and we highly recommend her.”
About: Lifelong animal lover providing reliable, loving care with updates, cuddles, walks, playtime, and patience. Your pets will feel safe, spoiled, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. During the holidays can be hectic, so I’m available for those fur parents who need a helping hand during this time around the major holidays. If need be, I do have a fenced backyard with two friendly fur babies. I can also provide crate access as well for any reason.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a dog - loving family, caring for breeds of all sizes - from Labrador Retriever and Beagle to my current Labradoodle. Through the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior and how to care for each pup based on their unique personality and needs. I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and easy to reach - I prioritize clear communication and am available 24/7 for updates or questions. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for your dog, just like home. I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can give them the best possible experience. Please feel free to share any details, preferences, or routines!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Whittier
This is my second booking with Sylvia, my first was a year ago when I still had two dogs. Today she saved my skin majorly!!! I had booked her so I could go to a wedding but I ended up reading the invitation wrong and she was able to accommodate me by taking Elliot earlier so I could make it to the wedding on time. She also sent me pictures and videos of my pup, kept me updated and walked him when she totally wasn’t required to. She is amazing and I absolutely one hundred percent will keep using her services.
My experience with Eric was great!! It was my first time leaving my dogs with somebody that isn’t family so I was really nervous. Both my dogs are French bulldogs and it was reassuring to know that he has French bulldogs himself. So I know he’s experienced with these types of dogs. He was communicating with me throughout the whole day and also sent me multiple pictures of my dogs. I appreciated that!! I look forward to booking him again in the future! I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!
Miriam was the perfect host to my Golden Robbie pup. Her 3 dogs were very welcoming as well. Robbie and Miriam's doodle ended up best pals. Miriam is highly communicative and sends pics and is very reassuring ! I wholeheartedly recommend Miriam and her care.
Jennell was more than extraordinary! ✨ Today was Bread’s first doggy daycare drop-off & Jennell made it such a great experience for him! Please note that Bread is currently recovering from urinary surgery & Jennell was great at accommodating of his specific needs. I appreciate the quick and thorough communication with updates and friendly pictures-videos of my doggo while I was away! Thank you Jennell! We’ll be coming back 🐾
We were traveling from out of town and needed a Dogsitter for our little baby Diego and were grateful to find Crisabel and Steve. Diego immediately felt right at home and it was a huge relief for us. We only wish Crisabel lived in our town because theirs would be Diego’s second home. He also loved Billie Jean, their Boston Terrier. Definitely made it more fun for him.
Chris was amazing with my two dogs! She treated them like her own and gave them so much love and attention. My dogs can be pretty needy, but she was so patient and kind with them. I could tell they were happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so grateful and would definitely book with her again!
Katya was amazing! My puppy, Willow, is a very energetic girl and is new to everything but Katya was so patient and loving towards her. Willow was exhausted by the time I picked her up (which is great news) and she looked so happy in the photos Katya took of her! Willow also gets scared around other dogs but I’m glad she had a good play time with Katya’s dogs :) Highly recommend Katya to everyone!
Cristina was great with Belle. She answered all our questions and gave us amazing tips regarding our puppy. It was the first time Belle has been at daycare and Cristina made it easy. She communicated very well and I loved that I got pictures and videos throughout her stay.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - East Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in East Whittier on Rover is $42.18 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 .

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 Whittier 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 8,902 sitters in East Whittier, 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.
