“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.”

“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!”

“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.”


“Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.”

“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.”

“Darlene did a wonderful job with my boys! I really loved the picture updates throughout the day, even for just daytime sitting. Her home was nice and spacious, which I’m sure they enjoyed being in. Would definitely book again in the future ☺️”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“Kendra was absolutely amazing with our Duke and Riley.. I was very nervous as this is the first time we've ever boarded them.. We're doing a few doggy day cares before our trip, and I can already tell how relaxed they are.. It somewhat surprised me as they're both stage 5 clingers! Thank you so much, Kendra!”

“Julie and her sister Sandy are wonderful. My miniature Dachshund, Bruno, has been going to their home for doggie daycare for some time now. They have gone above and beyond taking him with very little notice and picking him up and returning him. I feel very confident about his safety while in their care. Recently, I had an emergency and they picked him up without any notice and I boarded him with them for 3 days. This was the first time he was away from home and his first night he was nervous, but they gave him lots of reassurance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a loving and caring doggie daycare and boarding in a home environment.”

“I had a meet-and-greet with Lucy to see if she and my dog would be a good fit. Lucy asked thoughtful questions about his temperament, any special requirements he might have, and his daily routine. I really appreciated her attention to detail and preparation. When I dropped him off at her home, I realized I had booked her for the wrong weekend! Thankfully, Lucy was incredibly accommodating and still able to care for him, even on such short notice. Her flexibility and willingness to help allowed me to catch my flight and enjoy my trip without any stress. I’ll definitely be booking with Lucy for all my future dog-sitting needs.”

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 lots of room inside the house for their dog beds, plenty of kitchen space for their bowls and a basket for toys.
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.
About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
“Our 1-year-old wheaten terrier enjoyed his time with Monica. He came home happy and ready to rest after a day of playing. Monica kept us updated on Chewys progress during the day and communicated well with us. I would definitely recommend Monica to care for your pup!”

“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!”


About: About Me Looking for a stress-free alternative to crowded kennels or chaotic multi-dog homes? Welcome to a premium, boutique pet-sitting experience. I cater exclusively to families who want undivided, 1-on-1 attention for their furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they are the only guest pet in my home. Because I do not offer high-volume daycare services, your dog receives my full, uninterrupted presence, love, and supervision. ________________________________________ ✨ Why Premium Owners Choose My Care • Total Exclusivity: No other guest dogs, no pack dynamics, and zero socialization stress. • Constant Companionship: My day revolves entirely around your dog’s established routine. • Tailored For Every Personality: Ideal for dogs who prefer 1-on-1 human companionship, anxious pups, and senior dogs needing gentle care. • Proven Track Record: Trusted by a loyal community of local repeat clients with a consistent history of 5-star care. My days are structured around your dogs regular schedule. While in my care I accept no outside commitments or drop-in visitors. Dogs are in my company throughout the day and rarely out of eyesight. For long-term visitors, I may run errands for no longer than 1 hour. My home is a quiet, soothing, and comfortable place as their home away from home. We interact with toys, puzzles and play; they can enjoy a lick mat if their diet permits, or rest wherever they feel most comfortable: in my lap, on the couch, or the cool floor. Some dogs enjoy the patio where they can watch squirrels and hummingbirds or just soak up the sunshine. Outdoors, our 15-acre park allows your dogs the privacy to comfortably explore and exercise without the anxiety of interacting with other, unknown dogs. My 20'-45' leashes give active dogs the freedom to play Chuck-It or Frisbee.
“Lucas was great with Suki. His calm manner was helpful for her high energy puppy mode. He started the day with a walk with two other dogs and didn't freak when she jumped on him, staying calm and kind.”

“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.

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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,350 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 1,350 sitters in Fair Oaks, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
