Lisa is an amazing pet sitter, always keeping me posted about my pet throughout the day, and she was very affectionate with him. I feel like he had a lot of fun and was very happy with her. I highly recommend Lisa and Logan 🤩🙏🏻

About: Hello🤗! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve honestly always had some type of dog in my life. My first dog was a schnauzer, and I cared for her all the way into her senior years, so I’m comfortable with both playful pups and older dogs who need extra patience and attentiveness. During COVID, our lab had a litter of six puppies, so I have hands on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, and managing lots of energy in the cutest way possible. I’ve also been around cats for many years. Before I moved away, my family rescued a Siamese kitten who still needed milk from her mother. We actually found her in a tennis court, and helping care for her from such a young age taught me how attentive, patient, and gentle you have to be with cats. Since then, I’ve become very comfortable understanding different cat personalities I’ve come across, from shy and cautious to playful and affectionate. Recently, a friend trusted me to stay in their home and care for their dog for a week and a half, and that experience made me realize how much I genuinely enjoy this. It did not feel like a job. It felt natural and fulfilling. That is when I decided to take pet sitting more seriously. I am also very active and love going on morning runs, so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I enjoy structured walks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the physical and mental stimulation they need. I am located in a very dog friendly neighborhood with wide sidewalks, grassy areas, designated walking paths, and convenient potty stations. It is a safe and spacious environment for structured walks and comfortable exploration. Above all, I am attentive, reliable, and big on communication. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping you fully at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to caring for your pets throughout the day. I make sure feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins fit naturally into my routine so your pet receives consistent care and attention. I’m reliable with schedules and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I pay attention to pets’ behavior and needs to make sure they feel secure and relaxed. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a calm and clean environment where pets can feel safe and cared for.

Nervous about leaving your new puppy in the care of a stranger? Don’t be when it’s Betty! My Cooper is 3 months old, naturally shy with strangers, and normally suffers with separation anxiety. The morning I dropped him off, I placed Cooper down on the pavement to see how he would react. To my amazement, Betty’s kind spirit attracted him like a moth to a flame. He ran over, pounced into her open arms, and followed her into her the house without so much as a cry. When I picked him up he that evening he gave her a million kisses before leaving. The following day, he did the same but with even more gusto. There is nothing as comforting and reassuring to a pet mom, than your little one adoring their caretaker enough to happily leave your side. Thank you, Betty! Cooper has a new Grams. ♥️

About: I enjoy long walks on the beach and making sure your best friend never gets lonely! I've dog-sat over 4-day weekends before, checked-in on pets in houses, and helped take care of dogs of all sizes during the day. I set timers for feeding, and routinely check on how your friend is doing over the course of the day. I'm an avid exerciser, and would love to both walk and run with your dog by my side! I prefer not to host most dogs at my house because my roommate is a bit fearful of larger pets, but I'm more than happy to take care of your friend either outside or at your place, just let me know where and when! (if you have a small dog, I may be able to host them at my house though!) I work from home and try to get up hourly to move around or stretch. Pet sitting keeps me motivated to move around and make sure your best friend gets their needs throughout the day! In terms of home care, this is something I prefer to discuss with you so that I can tailor the care to your pet’s needs! Broadly, it’s checking up on your friend to make sure they’re getting what they need throughout the day, whether that be food, water, exercise, or just overall attention

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

About: I started my career early volunteering as a teenager at the local humane society. ❤️ Working at the humane society we had dogs and kitties from every background come our way, and it was our job to take care of them, help them grow, and make sure they were comfortable every single day. My experience includes 15 years of taking care of puppies, mid-age doggies and elderly doggies of all sizes. On top of professional time spent with doggies my family dogs were a big beautiful boxer bull mastiff named Layla, and a little Sheltie named Lady. I now have a one year old Golden Sammy named Zena. I’m currently working part time which gives me the flexibility to keep taking care of dogs. Send a message for your desired dates and times. I have had dogs for my entire life. I currently have a fenced in yard and a year old trained and submissive sweet golden Sammy named zena.

This was the best experience by far! They not only watched our pup, giving us peace of mind while we went out, but they also worked with him. We had the meet-up and they have such patience and understanding and it also shows in their dog Enzo. We also got several updates and pictures. it's hard leaving a pet, especially one that needs a little extra care and we felt completely at ease. We will definitely come back and recommend them everytime!

About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom and animal caretaker for over 10 years, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I truly see pets as family—whether they’re my own or yours—and I treat each one with the same care, love, and attention. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel a little nerve-wracking. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send photo updates, take them on walks, keep them company with a movie if I step out, and tuck them in at night with their favorite toys so they feel safe and loved I work remotely, so I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and yours. I can work from your home if needed, be there 24/7 or to just check in. Depending on your pets needs, I can take them for walks, let them out for a bathroom breaks, play with them and their favorite toys, and provide top tier belly rubs.

About: I’ve cared for many pets over the years for family and friends, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I follow routines closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy, clean, and cared for. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be available most times of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Since my schedule isn’t packed, I can focus on making sure each pet is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets at home, I make sure they get plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I take them on at least two or three walks during the day and make sure they get lots of playtime so they stay active and happy. I also keep their space clean, make sure feeding schedules are followed, and give them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable. At night I make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to sleep and that they’re settled in for the night. In the morning I repeat the routine by checking their food and water, taking them out for a walk, and making sure they start the day happy and well cared for.

Tiffany was awesome with Astro! She was quick to respond and super flexible with pick-up and drop-off. It was Astro’s first time with a sitter, and I’m so glad it was with her. Loved getting pictures and videos of him at the park and hanging out. I’ll definitely be booking with Tiffany again. Thanks so much to her and her family for taking great care of my boy!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Engineer Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 2,547 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Engineer Springs. 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 Engineer Springs 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 2,547 sitters in Engineer Springs, 85% 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.
