“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Alexis and her family were amazing! Came in nervous to drop off our new puppy but they seem like genuine kind people who made us feel at ease. Our puppy seemed like she had lots of love and fun around her.”
“Let me tell you.. Ariana is amazing. So! This was my first time using this type of service. So I was a little concerned about leaving my puppy with a stranger.. but I was recommended by a reliable source so I went with it. After messaging a few sitters… and confirm possible dates .. I noticed none of the sitters asked me any questions about my pup, myself or told me anything about themselves… Ariana was the only person who showed a genuine interest in making sure I felt my pup was in the right hands. She’s amazing and I would only book with her! Period.”
“We are so grateful Derek, Leslie and their family help look after our sweet fur babies when we are away. The Pitadors are always excited when they know they are going to these wonderful Rover sitter’s home and always come back to our home tuckered out from all the play, love and attention they’ve gotten!”
“Thank you for taking care of Kilo! Darlene kept me posted with pictures of Kilo living his best life with friends! I felt comfortable leaving Kilo in Darlene’s care. I will definitely book Darelene to take care of Kilo, again!”
About: Animals are my absolute joy. They are such innocent and pure characters… hilarious, too! I’m used to providing dog care services to multiple dogs & I am extremely thorough in all the care I provide. My strong points are connecting to the needs of your pet while also having an extreme eye for details, schedules & punctuality. I respect your baby’s time as if it were my own. I work on weekends, only occasionally during the week. Otherwise, I am free. I prefer the flexibility of working Rover, it allows me to balance all of life’s responsibilities while doing something I love. We have a second bedroom and three very social dogs to make playtime a riot. We take frequent walks & field trips to local nature trails. As a rule, I assume I am always being recorded and I act with the utmost respect for your privacy and safe space.
“So grateful for Lucy taking on my pups so last minute. She asked lots for great questions before committing and we were able to set everything up very smoothly. The dogs did great under her care and communication was flawless throughoutthe day while they were with her. Will definitely book with Lucy again in the future and happy to find someone close by who is a safe and reliable choice for my babies.”
“Julie was welcoming in our meet and great. She showed me her doggycare area and told me details about taking care of dogs. There seems to be a lot, but they're all behaving reasonably well. I wasn't quite sure my pug would do well, but he fit in just fine. Her other caretaker, Diante (sp?) was also welcoming. Overall, a great daycare.”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, but as an adult I've personally adopted 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I have cared for pets at every stage of their life. I'm a freelance digital artist so my availability is open. I don't do artwork outside of my home, however. If I'm working for you that has my full attention. In my home I have a pool. My pug can swim but I'm still always outside when she is. Im very attentive when I take on responsibilities. My house is spacious and we are open to crating. Our pets sleep inside with us.
“Diana is an excellent sitter. She made the extra effort to meet me at my car to greet and pick up Piper. She sent video and photos during Pipers stay which gave me piece of mind. I have now scheduled Piper for his Rover Sitter one day each week knowing he will be well taken care of. Thank you, Diana”
“Olesia was wonderful. We dropped off our dog for around 6 hours and she was very communicative. She sent lots of photos and our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would definitely use Olesia again!”
“John did a great job. My pup was on daycare with him for the first time and looks like he enjoyed a lot. He has a big backyard which was entertaining and playful area for my pup. He really took good care of him.”
“My girl gets so excited as soon as I drive up to Lucas's house. So, there's no doubt she is quite happy with Lucas and his dog Ferguson. He even walks her, with his dog, if I arrive early!!! That's a bonus because not everyone will include a walk in their daycare.”
About: Every day spent in the company of dogs is a perfect day. I offer private, one-dog* boarding with loving & attentive care - a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, outdoor time, and a quiet place to settle. I care for one dog at a time (*two dogs if from the same home), allowing for lots of attention and a rhythm that best suits them. More than simply a safe place to board your dog, days here are filled with play, fresh air, outdoor exploration & exercise - just as I've always done with my own dogs. Even sensitive or anxious dogs settle in as if they’re on their own little vacation, returning home relaxed, happy, and wonderfully tired. I work part-time from home so dogs always stay within eyesight and enjoy a balance of outdoor activity and quiet downtime, with their safety as my first priority. My days are structured around the dogs in my care. Our days are a combination of outdoor time at our 30-acre park and quiet time at home. Dogs are in my company throughout the day and rarely out of eyesight. Having fostered and rescued dogs for many years, my home is very dog centric. The property sits beside a quiet 15-acre park. It’s a peaceful place with lots of birds and squirrels to watch from the patio. I’m experienced reading dog behavior and adjusting to their comfort level so whether on-leash at the park, resting, playing with me or their enrichment toys, dogs continue to stay within eyesight throughout throughout their visit.
“I booked Alora (Stacy) for doggy day care for my two dogs while I was out of town. Our meet and greet prior to booking went very well! I could easily tell how much Alora cared about taking care of animals. My dogs liked her and her dogs as well. Alora was accommodating, communicative and so kind! Due to the departure and return flight times for my trip, I needed a very early morning drop off and late night pick up. Alora was fine with this and even let me drop off a little early so I had time to get to the airport without being in a rush. Despite the length of my dogs' stay, she kept her rates as they were shown prior to my booking. She also sent multiple text updates as well as videos of my dogs. I felt confident that my dogs were in good hands while I was away! When I picked up my dogs, I could tell they had a great day and were both asleep shortly after I got them home. I would definitely recommend and book with Alora again!”
“Marianne was great. Easy to communicate with and responsive. Our pup was happy and worn out when we picked her up. Looking forward to leaving Winnie in her capable hands again!”
“Taro felt right at home. Chong was very accommodating with last minute changes to drop off and pick up. She kept me updated with pictures and messages which made me feel at ease.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Fair Oaks is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Lucas was amazing with my puppy, Nala! He was incredibly welcoming from the start and made sure she was comfortable and cared for the entire time she stayed with him and Ferguson. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. Nala came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I also appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Lucas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
I absolutely recommend Derek and Leslie!! They are genuinely caring for the pets they watch! My 12 week old puppy, Maggie, felt right at home in their house. She was closely attended to, was safe and had lots of fun playing in their wonderful backyard. Several times through Maggie’s stay, they texted photos of Maggie running, playing, napping. Derek and Leslie are outstanding dog-sitters!
Sara and her family are so sweet and gave my dogs a lot of attention. She sent me pictures of her kids playing with my dogs and I could tell that they were having a good time. Her home is set up really well for my dogs with the backyard covered patio. My dogs are funny about going out in the rain and it was raining in the morning so her having a covered patio was really good for my dogs. I definitely recommend Sara!!!! I now have a new dog sitter with Sara.
Sharee & her family are always amazing with Clover! Clover is so excited when she sees Sharee so I know she is well taken care of. Sharee sends photo & video updates which I love so much! Clover gets so much love & attention from Sharee’s little girls as well and gets so much fetch time (and lots of walkies on the river trail!) when she’s there. We highly recommend Sharee to anyone looking for a family-friendly home for their pet while they’re away. We will continue bringing Clover here whenever we can’t take her along with us!
Joanna is so sweet! My dog Pepper was immediately comfortable around her even though she is sometimes nervous with new people. She sent tons of pictures and videos and I could tell Pepper was very well taken care of. I’m certain I will be booking with Joanna again!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fair Oaks on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 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 Fair Oaks 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 1,372 sitters in Fair Oaks, 87% 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.
