“I’ve been taking my mini doodle Ruby to Florene for visits for about six months. My dog has gained so much confidence under Florenes care. She had no idea how to play with other dogs and now can join the pack and feel safe. Florene also trains while caring for Ruby, who is now so good at “leave it” she will drop anything, even yummy food when I use the command. Sometimes I worry that Ruby will want to live with Florene forever because she takes such good care of her.”
About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! I'm Carrie. I've been living in a great community in Elk Grove, CA for over 16 years. My family lives in a single house with a moderate size and secured fenced backyard. For dog boarding, the doggies have a dedicated spaces in my TV room so that I can always accompany with and take care of them. My TV room has a sliding door and make the doggies easier to play outside in a safe and fenced backyard for every 2 hours. Playing at my backyard is always the best for dog boarding than walking outside in an unfamiliar environment. I'm here to ensure your pets have a loving, safe & comfortable environment while you enjoy a weekend getaway or take care of those long-overdue errands.

Whether it's a quick walk or several days of care, I've built a reputation for being reliable and loving pet sitters. Living just a stone's throw from a beautiful CSD run community park means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. Plus, I live in a single house with a great securely fenced backyard offers a safe space for them to play and do their business. I also provide check-in services to your furry family members at home if they feel more comfortable that way! I can't wait to meet your beloved pet and provide them with the same care and affection I give our own. Feel free to reach out to me for any questions or concerns!!– I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm a home maker which means I can and will dedicate our full attention 24/7 to looking after your pets, ensuring they receive all the love and care they need. For pets that need to be taken out or checked up on, I can do that as well with no pets will be left behind!

“I had another booking that unfortunately had to cancel last minute the day before. I luckily was able to quickly connect with Jamie and Alan the very next day to confirm another booking. Quick communication, graciously showed us their beautiful yard where Nori had a blast and sent us plenty of pics/ update.”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“Trina was friendly and welcoming of our dog in her home. She provided updates and sent us pictures of our senior dog and we appreciate her willingness to take in and watch our Bella on such short notice. We hope to use her again in the future!”
“Domynique was amazing with my puppy Ollie. She sent updates and would provide walks along with just great quality time. She was super accommodating to my commute that she volunteered to meet me half way. Ollie always came home ready for a nap after a great day with Domynique, will definitely be booking again and would recommend 🥰”

My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and secure, and for every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is in trusted hands.
“Kelli is so sweet and was so caring not only to my puppy, but to me and my partner as well. My puppy can be kind of annoying and dramatic (like all puppies can be) and she was so patient. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the long day. I usually work remotely, but I find so much comfort knowing that Kelli is nearby if I am away from the house for longer than 4 hours. Would highly recommend.”

“I found Marcie on Rover and she responded quickly on such short notice. I contacted her on a Friday and she was able to accommodate our pit bull Jada the next day. Marcie was courteous enough to provide photos of Jada while at the dog park. Jada looked like she enjoyed her time with Marcie. We look forward to using Marcie again in the future.”
“Our first experience with Rover daycare services & Cynthia!!! Cynthia provided pics, videos, and updates throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Elk Grove is $34 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $40 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,450 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elk Grove. 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 Grove 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,450 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
