“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!”

“Ariana is very friendly and takes great care of my dog. I can tell that she is a "dog" person and that she knows what she is doing and really cares. It is a bonus that she does not over-charge for her services and offers the convenient pick up and drop off services. She takes several pictures and keeps me updated, which I appreciate.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Kendra was an absolute lifesaver, she swooped in at the last minute for me on my first day of work and went above and beyond to help me with Louie. She was communicative and friendly, 10/10 would recommend!”

“Derek and Leslie clearly love dogs and were patient with Ruby, who was a bit overwhelmed and grouchy when the other dogs approached her. Derek stayed in the backyard with Ruby and played on the pool with her, which is her favorite. Would definitely recommend for your more social dogs.”

“Our dog Baxter hasn’t been to doggy day care for a couple of years, so he had extra anxiety on top of his normal separation anxiety. Cliff allowed us to meet up the day prior to ensure that Baxter would be comfortable in the environment, which included a cat. The visit was a success. Cliff had a room dedicated to the animals and a beautiful backyard with vibrant green grass, which Baxter loved. Cliff was very friendly and seemed like a natural with dogs. This made us feel good about leaving Baxter with him for doggy day care the next day. When we dropped Baxter off, he acted shy at first, hesitant to approach and sticking close to us, but he looked very happy at pick-up, wagging his tail and greeting us with excitement. Cliff sent a photo and update about Baxter's visit. Baxter usually needs several visits to trust new people. Cliff patiently gave him space as he introduced and welcomed him to the pack, making the experience feel calm and positive for Baxter. We highly recommend Cliff, and will be using his services in the future.”

“Julie has been absolutely wonderful! She has been very flexible, kind and sends lots of photos of my pups. She always has lots of playmates for my two dogs and they always come home looking like they had a blast and ready for a nap. I couldn't recommend Julie enough.”

“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!”


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.
About: With a decade of dog care experience, I can ensure a loving, exciting & healthy experience for however long you need your pets cared for! I’ve looked after a wide variety of breeds and have become accustomed to many dogs’ different quirks and habits, and have learned through my experience at different rescue organizations, how to manage them. I’ve volunteered at several dog rescue organizations across the Bay Area and have fostered dogs, myself. I’m passionate about animal welfare, understand how to administer medication to dogs and will be very gentle and loving with your pets, I know they’re special to each of you and will treat them as my own while watching them! I am very conscious of reinstating habits that you’d like to teach your dog, while also ensuring that they feel safe and loved while under my care. I’m located near lots of local parks and am happy to give your dog outside playtime, park walks and have a fenced backyard for your pups to run around when they’re not on walks. Please note that I do have a sweet, friendly puppy of my own in my house hold, so if you are interested in my services, let’s set up a meet and greet to make sure our pets get along :) Please check out my schedule below for more info on week day times and boarding requests! :) I work in office early in the mornings most days and am off early to be able to take care of your pups in the evening & on weekends! I work remote on Tuesdays, so I can take care of your pups for a work day boarding or over the weekend. Feel free to reach out if a date isn’t available and I can see if I can move some things around! • Dog walking: Mon, Wed, Thurs: only available for afternoon availability (4 PM - 10 PM), Tues - all day, Friday - early morning and afternoon. • Boarding: I can only take in boarding requests starting 3pm on Thursday since I work in the office Mon, Wed, Thurs. I have a house with a courtyard for your pups to run around! I have cared for multiple family member’s dogs in my house and they’ve loved the area to lounge in the sun! I have lots of room inside the house for their dog beds, plenty of kitchen space for their bowls and a basket for toys.
About: Hi! I’m a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying Nutrition, and I’m focusing on pet care this summer. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who need lots of attention and exercise to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also very detail-oriented and great at sticking to routines, so I’ll make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, providing overnight care, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I make communication a priority and am happy to provide updates along the way. My number one goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands! I am very flexible and I am open to care on weekdays and weekends. I am usually available throughout the day, from mornings to late nights. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I pay close attention to their routines, behavior, and specific needs-especially during walks and daily care. With experience ranging from puppies to senior dogs, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s energy level and any special requirements. At home, I have a medium-sized senior dog named Amber who is very laid back and gets along well with other pets. When I care for animals in my home, I always do slow, careful introductions and prioritize safety and comfort. I make sure each pet has their own space and only allow interaction when both animals are fully comfortable.
“Today was the hardest day of my life. I dropped off Chef because my mother was sent home on hospice. While Chef was there, my mother passed. Travis was so supportive, sent lots of pictures, and loved him for the day! Chef had a great time!”

About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including large breeds such as Rottweilers, bully breeds, and mixed breeds. I currently have my own dog and understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer and help at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I work a flexible schedule and spend a lot of my free time with my own dog, so pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fair Oaks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fair Oaks on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,368 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fair Oaks. 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 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 1,368 sitters in Fair Oaks, 88% 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.
