About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I’m comfortable with basic training, administering medication, and handling pets with special needs or anxiety. I treat every pet like family—tuning into their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping a pet company, I plan my day around making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m reliable, punctual, and always make pet care a top priority in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and pet friendly free of hazards and tailored to each pet’s needs and habits. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain routines, and always keep an eye on behavior or health changes. I treat every pet with kindness and patience, creating a calm, stress free atmosphere where they feel safe, loved, and at home.

My friends, family members and my boss have trust me with their paw-friends & you can to🐶❤️ I also have experience working with elder dogs and giving them their medication as needed . I’ve dog sat for so many friends and family for the past several years and it’s honestly so rewarding 😊🌸 Pet care is already part of my routine because I enjoy spending time with my two dogs . I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates to pet parents. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

“My rescued dog Jojo is very timid and slow to allow people into her trust. ReShan quickly won her heart and her trust, and mine as well. She is always so happy to see him, I know he treats her well. I have that peace of mind that she is well loved and cared for while I can't be with her. ReShan makes sure Jojo gets lots of walks and exercise, which she loves , and he brushes her coat so it shines. ReShan has also helped Jojo to make progress with her fear of dogs. She recently, at age 4 years, play-bowed to another dog, a first for her! ReShan also commands her respect and obedience, something I am still working at. Jojo and I are very thankful to have ReShan's help in our lives.”
“Stephanie was great! She was extremely flexible with times and set up a meet and greet the day after I contacted her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures of our pups throughout the day. We will definitely be using her again!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, Frank was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes, which made me feel so at ease. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy and passionate as Frank. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elk
Becky took such good care of my pups while I went and hiked all over Sequoia national Park. I would definitely use her again if I am ever in the area, she kept me up-to-date and my pups were happy and tired when they saw me thank you Becky and hubby, of course, for taking such good care of my babies
Our girls had a great time with Becky at her home/farm. They enjoyed meeting the rabbits, chickens, goats and other small dogs! Becky is a true animal lover. If you're staying in Sanger - at the Riverbend RV Park or if you live in the area and need a reliable sitter, Becky is your go-to gal!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Elk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 292 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elk. 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 Elk 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 292 sitters in Elk, 94% 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.
