“Ru and family are very nice and warm with dogs. She has a dog as well and knows how to handle one very well. She requested a meet and greet to ensure Gabbar and her dog got along. She timely sent pictures and updates for Gabbar and followed his schedule through. She had a neighbors dog come along to her place when gabbar was there for a play date and Gabbar enjoyed a lot. I would definitely have Ru look over Gabbar again and would recommend others as well.”
“She was so nice and communicated effectively. We really appreciated how flexible she was with us. We’d definitely have our Bhaloo stay here again when we’re in town. He had a great time.”
“My 7 month puppy stayed with Cristina over the day. I can only say good things about the experience. Hazel was happy when I picked her up and it was fun with a doggy friend. Cristina seems to really love dogs and was sending updates and really seemed to care about Hazel. She also took her to the park. I liked Cristina’s warm and positive personality. Will book again”

“Ahiram and her husband are amazing daycare sitters. They were very attentive and incredible with updates and responsiveness. Love the patience with our two kraken monsters (our dogs lol)”
“Natasha is a great sitter and it felt so good to find a knowledgeable trustworthy person to watch our baby girl. She took the time to introduce Kali to the other dogs and get her settled in. She also sent us pictures and updated us on how she was doing. We were able to enjoy a day hike! Thank you Natasha! We hope to see you again when we are back in the area.”
“Freddy was anxious when I dropped off Freddy in a new environment. Lu was patient and walked Freddy around to get used to new surroundings. Freddy was comfortable and was eventually chilling on the sofa. Thanks for the videos and timely updates Lu. Also, thanks for the polaroid photo of Freddy's stay! :) It was great meeting you and looking forward to seeing you again!”
“My pet Oreo enjoyed his stay at Elliott's place. I received updates and pictures during the stay. Elliott is an experienced Dog sitter and he evaluated Oreo before boarding him. Most importantly he asked the right questions.I highly recommend Elliott.”

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie! I have owned dogs and pets my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of personalized attention, love, and care during their stay. I have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is super friendly and loves making new friends! I work remotely, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for overnight boarding and daycare. I especially love working with recurring families so I can build a relationship with you and your furry friend and help them feel comfortable and at home during every stay. I’m a very outdoorsy person and love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s going to the park, exploring a dog-friendly trail, or enjoying a nice long walk. We also have a yard for plenty of playtime and outdoor fun! I can’t wait to meet you and give your pup a fun, loving, and personalized home-away-from-home! 🐶💕 I work remote and have a flexible schedule over the week so I will be able to spend all day with your best friend and give them all the love and attention they need while you are away! Your pup will be going on walks throughout the day or a trip to the dog park. I would prefer to watch your pet in my own home but am also open to pet sitting and can make arrangements to visit your pet.
“I am so grateful to have found Soyoung through Rover! My 8-month old puppy, Archie, had a great time with her at doggy day care while I was in town for work. He had fun playing, going for walks, and zooming up and down her stairs. I loved getting his daily report cards, and he was absolutely exhausted and calm by the time we got back to the hotel in the evenings. I'm thrilled that I can take him with me for work travel because we now have a trusted sitter to rely on. I'm looking forward to future trips to the SCV area so we can book with Soyoung again.”
“So delighted to find Madhumita. Her quiet affectionate calm and patience letting my dog, who has a trauma history, come our of his shell was just what he needed to feel comfortable. Her elderly lab is also a friendly, calm, and reassuring presence. So happy to see my pup relax and make himself at home-- in her home!”
“I had my dog Winston over for about two weeks of daycare. Lana was great! Super friendly and gave me plenty of pics and updates. Would happily message her again if I ever need someone to watch my pup”
“Karen was WONDERFUL! She took care of our 2 rescue dogs for 4 days in her home. One of our dogs has issues and high, high anxiety. Karen was so patient and loving with him. The first day she built a blanket fort for him so he could hide inside it comfortably. The second day he came out and lied under her desk. By the 4th day he was by her feet. We are truly amazed with Karen's caretaking!”

We had a very wonderful 1st daycare experience with Natasha recently! She treated our Daisy,our 16yo shihtzu, like her own during her daycare and we are so grateful for her. Daisy,aside from being a senior,is also special needs(due to her health conditions)so we made sure to write out detailed instructions (ie. times for meds, meals,etc.) for Natasha. Before we left, we spent time going over everything and Natasha asked lots of questions to make sure she understood. She is genuinely a very caring and kind person who has so much love for animals. She is super attentive and checked in often to let us know all was good, with some pics. We are so glad we found her and look forward to leaving Daisy in her care while my hubby and I can go on more dates(with a peace of mind). We did a meet and greet weeks ago where we spent 30min getting to know Natasha and then left Daisy with her for 1.5hr so they could get a good feel for each other, which we feel is such a good idea for anyone looking into a new sitter. We look forward to booking Natasha again soon(when my hubby travels for work) so she can also help administer subcutaneous fluids for our Daisy, which I am not the most comfortable doing quite yet. It so reassuring to know there are sitters like Natasha around, thank you Natasha💕 (Do keep in mind that the rate will be a little higher for special needs pets and is so worth it for the extra TLC)
Amy is fantastic! She is loving and attentive and Nova felt right at home and made fast friends with sweet Coco and the crew! Nova looks forward to her days exploring and lazing in the sun with her new pack. I would highly recommend Amy. She’s great at communication and is experienced with caring for dogs of all sizes 🐾
We had such a wonderful experience with Nasibeh! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and cared for our dogs, Robin and Lulu as if they were her own. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were having an amazing time especially playing with her adorable dog, Cody! They came home tired and happy, and they had a fantastic stay. We also really appreciated how understanding and flexible she was with our pickup time, which made everything so much less stressful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
Anytime I leave Kaia with Diana and her team, I know I’ll get back a satisfied and tired baby. She always gets sad when I leave her off but quickly settles in. I get frequent updates and photo that always makes me smile and puts me at ease. I grateful for this team. 🫶🏼
Eris was amazing, kind, and patient! Misty is a shy girl and it was her first time at daycare in a long time. Eris sent so many photos and videos of Misty, and you can tell she really cared about Misty. I would bring Misty back for daycare without hesitation! Thank you, Eris, for taking such good care of Misty.
Megha and Avi’s family took wonderful care of Daisy yesterday! They were patient and respectful of Daisy’s nervousness around other dogs by keeping their dog Barfi near them while giving Daisy time to explore. And true to what they said, Barfi is so sweet natured and goood! He and Daisy had a peaceful day together, Barfi taking the cue that it was enough for Daisy to share the space but not ready to play together. I got so many pictures - Megha is an amazing photographer! - that I was truly put at ease throughout the day. Looks like Daisy got lots of kind attention because she was smiling in several of the pictures and came home in such a happy mood! Communication & Scheduling:100% responsive and clear. Thank you Megha, Avi and family - and of course to Barfi too!
Samie loved staying with Krystal! Krystal was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. Samie usually takes a while to warm up to people, but by the second day, she was wagging her tail and barking as we pulled up! We will be working with Krystal again soon. :)
Nabil was absolutely amazing with Margoh! Very attentive and caring, and I loved all the updates and pictures that were sent throughout her stay. Communication was great, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely love to have Margoh stay with them again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!
Gary was an absolute godsend for my dog Jack, who has separation anxiety! This was the first time I left Jack with anyone since he developed separation anxiety after a move. Jack climbed into Gary's lap during the meet and greet, which I knew was a good sign. (He's also not a small dog.) When Gary came for housesitting with Jack, Jack was super excited to see him. I left for almost eight hours and felt confident that Jack was in good hands. When I returned home, I could see that Jack had a good day with Gary. Gary came back for two hours the next day, and I didn't worry at all. Gary had the perfect combination of calming and playful energy that Jack needed. Will definitely hire him again! Thank you, Gary!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fruitdale on Rover is $47.73 per day (as of August 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 .

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 Fruitdale 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 2,717 sitters in Fruitdale, 89% 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.
