About: Hi, my name is Shelley, and I would love to care for your dog! I live in a 2br condo in Mission Viejo with my two dogs. I love taking my dogs on long walks and hikes all over Orange County. I work from home, meaning your pooch would rarely be alone. I was a veterinary technician throughout college and have had dogs my entire life, so you can rest assured your dogs would be safe and well taken care of when they stay with me! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since before I could speak! I have had my own dog since the age of 2. He lived for 19 years and I took him and my schnauzer with me to college because I couldn't stand being away from them! I currently have a Jack Russell Mix that I adopted from the Baja Animal Sanctuary, and she's the most precious little girl. I volunteered throughout high school at a veterinary clinic and eventually worked as a veterinary technician through college. I had planned on going to vet school after taking some time off from undergrad, but I found an amazing career opportunity and now get my animal fix by taking care of friends' dogs when they are out of town. Meet my pets I have a small Jack Russell Mix that is 14 years old. She is a sweetheart once you get to know her, but can be intimidated by other dogs. I also have a 3 year old, 60 lb mixed breed pandemic "puppy" that is attached to me at all times. Mookie loves just about every dog and will love playing with your dog. About my yard Small deck and enclosed back yard perfect for sunbathing, bird watching, and the occasional lizard chasing. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had years of experience administering medication from giving oral pills, treating ears with ear flushes, giving eye drops, vaccines, subcutaneous fluids...you name it! I currently work from home, so I am available to keep your dog company all day long! Midday walks to the park for a lunch break are my favorite! I have a fully fenced backyard for your dog to safely sunbathe and take as many potty breaks as he or she may need. Come say hi!
“We had a great first experience with Stephanie! Everything went smoothly and we appreciated Stephanie’s calm demeanor and easy going personality. We’ll definitely use Stephanie again! Muffin seemed comfortable and happy with her!”

“Nichole was able to take my dog for a day visit on short notice. Her dog was very sweet and very excited to meet me and my dog. Nichole replied to all my messages promptly and was accommodating when my pickup time changed. My dog seemed happy and tired when I picked her up, so seems like she had a fun day!”
“Our 3.5 month old Doberman had a great first experience with Saedeeh. She is a very loving person with lots of experience and energy to play with our dog. We have booked another sitting.”
“If I didn't know that I would bore you, I’d write a whole essay about our AMAZING experience with Mike and Donna. In a few words, they are the best pup sitters in the world. They pay attention to every detail and they cared for our dogs, as if they were their own in the best possible way. Thank you Mike and Donna for all the love and wonderful time you gave our fur babies.”
“My go to sitter for Cherokee recently moved out of state so I was very iffy about finding another person to watch Cher but Flor was very friendly and kept me updated on puppy throughout the day even sending pictures!”
“Thank you Gina for an amazing stay! I really appreciated Gina’s attention and thoughtful care with Teddy. She sent many pics and updates throughout the day and I knew he was in great hands. ?”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid! I love meeting new animals and caring for them. My experience ranges from boarding animals for 7 days, to doing stop-by visits multiple times per day. I not only love animals but I love giving families the peace of mind that their animal is in good hands. I’m a very caring mother and pet owner who is diligent and flexible. Having pets of my own my whole life, I’ve learned how to care for, engage and love all sorts of animals. I’m looking for families that need help either as a one-time getaway or on a regular basis! I’m happy to help. My goal in life is to have time and flexibility to be with my family, and caring for pets allows me that freedom! Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend. I’m currently available to help in any capacity! Feel free to reach out. I am a full-time mom and have an open schedule. I have a large home with plenty of room for your pet! There are grass areas and plenty of shade. My neighborhood has great trails where we can walk dogs. I love all animals and always treat them well! I will be sure to send you updates and photos if requested.
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs in our homes. We have about 28 years of experience owning and taking care of dogs. We’ve always wanted another dog, but when we started helping our friends watch their dogs while they were on vacation, we realized that boarding dogs was actually a better idea! We just love the energy a dog brings to our home and have experience handling different breeds and temperaments. We understand how stressful it can be to board our furry loved ones. We have a goldendoodle and while she loves other dogs, she would get anxiety being left in a pet hotel with tons of other dogs. Our goal is to give you a piece of mind through pictures, videos and text updates, while keeping our guest comfortable, loved and protected. Oh and give them the best time of course!!!! My husband works from his home office and I only work part time so someone is always available to keep them busy, loved and safe! We have a big, enclosed backyard with artificial grass to keep them clean and safe. We will also stay outside with them to watch and make sure they enjoy the backyard safely.
“Erin and her mom have been amazing to work with! This is our second time leaving our two dogs with them and boy are they happy to be there. Erin is a great communicator, puts dogs first and really treats them as family. My pups seem comfortable with her and I am so happy to have found her :) highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Toro
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! 😊
Annie is a true professional; well organized, punctual, and has a genuine love of dogs. Moreover, she provided great photos of our Kimi during her stay. She is also personable and gracious when we ran overtime for our pup’s pickup. Will absolutely call her again.
I highly recommend Mahsa! She is incredibly kind, caring, and truly treats dogs with so much love and attention. She was always punctual and reliable, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. She also kept me updated regularly by sending pictures and videos of my dog, which I really appreciated and made me feel even more reassured while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her and would absolutely trust her again in the future!
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 :)
omeira was absolutely wonderful! She is so sweet, attentive, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the updates and photos that the dogs were having a great time—they looked happy, relaxed, and loved getting to play and enjoy themselves. I truly appreciated how caring and thoughtful she was with them. I would absolutely book with Homeira again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their dogs!
Awesome experience! Will definitely repeat if the need arises. Lots of photos and updates throughout the day helped me stay in touch with my pup. Additionally, he was very comfortable with all the friendly dogs the family had so it was one of the better dog sitting experiences we have had. Thanks again!
Olivia and her family were so sweet and welcoming to Rolly. She felt right at home and got along great with their dog. She got a nice afternoon walk as well. Olivia was very good at communicating with me during her stay and sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated.
I moved to town and needed a full 40h/ week dog sitter and knowing it’s not always an easy thing to find, I was super blessed to find Jacqueline. She has made morning drop off and evening pick ups super seamless, and has taken such great care of my pup that I can tell sometimes he doesn’t want to leave! Haha. Very caring and communicative. Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in El Toro on Rover is $33.65 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 El Toro 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 3,534 sitters in El Toro, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
