“Ailen was kind, reliable, and incredibly helpful throughout my dog's entire stay. She took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable dog lover offering a safe, loving home for your pup while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard for playtime, plenty of attention, and a calm home environment. Your dog will be treated like family, with love, supervision, walks, and lots of care.  I can provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your furry family members whenever needed. Majority of my weekends are open and I'm available during holidays. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard. Inside my home there are lots of chairs to cuddle up on for a snooze or some pets.
About: My golden retriever was my best friend growing up. I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I work from home and control my schedule so can take your pets for a walk pretty much whenever. My schedule is very flexible. I’m very active so usually run once a day already. I have a cozy and safe apartment and crate your dog if you needed. I can feed your pets at your house or mine and can accommodate to your schedule and needs.
“I left my 4 month old mini doxie pup with Claudia for doggie daycare! It was his first time being dropped off with a stranger for the day so I was a little nervous for her sake and his! Upon arriving I was greeted by Claudia and her incredibly calm and sweet dog! I immediately felt at ease seeing her energy around him (again calm, friendly) and knew he’d okay! Claudia was great at communicating updates about our pup throughout the day and I could tell he was having a great time. I was delighted to bring him back home and have him sleep right away haha, she clearly gave him a full, fun day of attention and activities. Very glad to have found a reliable dog sitter like Claudia and couldn't recommend her more!”
“Highly recommend Lindy! She welcomed our close to 100lb 11mo old Dobermann toddler with a very last minute notice. Our pup really enjoyed spending time with her. She kept in touch with texts and photos. We were so glad to find her!! Definitely using her servive again!”
“Katie was AMAZING. She is so sweet and my boy had so much fun with her. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day. She was very responsive. I would def come back to her and recommend her to anyone! ?”
“Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I’m equally happy to adjust my routine for a senior dog or a pet who prefers a quieter day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and now share my home with a sweet, calm Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. She enjoys cozy naps, gentle play, and relaxed companionship with other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have attentive company throughout the day. They can enjoy supervised time in my secure fenced backyard, along with potty breaks, affection, gentle play, and plenty of restful downtime indoors. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and send photo updates so you can see they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their day. My home is best suited to calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy a quieter pace. I want every pup, including my own, to feel relaxed and comfortable, so I’m a particularly good fit for dogs who like gentle play, cozy naps, and a peaceful day with caring company. I work from home full time, so your dog will have attentive company throughout the day. My calm Golden Retriever, Gigi, enjoys gentle play, cozy naps, and spending time with other easygoing dogs. Your dog will stay in a calm, comfortable home with access to a secure fenced backyard with artificial turf. I keep the home cool and will be home throughout their stay to supervise, provide care, and make sure they feel settled. I host only one visiting dog at a time, in addition to Gigi, so each guest gets individual attention. This is a great fit for calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy gentle companionship.
About: Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog. Flexible. I live in a wonderful dog friendly community with lots of green space, and enjoy taking dogs for walks in nearby parks. I have plenty of time to play with you dog. Please Note: Doggy Day Care in my home is for 8 hours. Every dog has its own unique personality and needs. I am sensitive and flexible to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. By knowing their specific needs, I can tailor our outings to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for both of us.
“Left my dog this morning at 9:30 and retrieved him at 5:30. He seems to be perfectly content. Amy sent me photos and videos during the day at my request and was responsive and prompt!”
About: I have worked as a vet assistant for 3 years with 15+ years of animal care experience. Experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. Comfortable administering medications, injections, and providing specialized care.

Because I spend most of my time at home, I can accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of playtime, companionship, and supervision. As a veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection to help pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Jaime was great with Sage. Sage can be nervous first meeting people and Jaime was confident Sage would be taken care of and warm up. She sent several update photos and Sage had a great time. I will definitely hire Jaime again ◡̈”
“Alisa and her family were great! Clean house and lots of love for my boy Sherlock. Flexible with drop off + pickup for daycare. If I am ever in town again I would use her for sitting.”
About: I've always had dogs and love taking them on hikes and walks. I currently have an Australian Sheapard and she loves friends and lots of walks. Mornings are best but flexible. Easy drop off and pick up from Oso Grande park or dog park in Ladera Ranch. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I have a fenced yard but mostly will be out walking and going to the dog park. I love the trails in Ladera, they are great for dogs.
“Ashley is a caring and kind sitter who did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Henry. She made sure he was loved and comfortable while at her home. She's responsive and sends photos of your dog so you can feel at ease while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Galivan
We had SUCH a great experience with Saeedeh (Lili) ! This was the first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous. We were so thrilled with how caring and attentive she was and were immediately put at ease! She sent photos all thru out the day, and took such good care of our dog. Will definitely be using her again!
Another fantastic day spent with Chris! Ozzy loves it here and Chris always takes the best care of him. He sends us fun videos that he takes time to edit and Ozzy has gone home with gifts twice! Last time Chris gifted Ozzy a very cool puzzle bowl! Thanks again, Chris!
Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.
Twix had such a great time with Claudia and her sweet dog, Wally! She took them to the park where twix had lots of fun, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to know Twix was having fun and being well cared for. We really appreciate all the attention she gave him. Highly recommended.
Taro stayed with Ailen, and I could tell she had such a great time! She was always so happy in the pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. 🥰 Ailen also took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Taro and how she should care for her, which was really reassuring. I think Taro even made some new friends! As she’s gotten a little older, she’s not quite as friendly with other dogs as she used to be, so it was really nice to see her enjoying their company and having fun. Ailen is wonderful if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Jonathan was awesome! Our boy Murph is reactive, gets overaroused easily, steals anything he can get his hands on, and generally not super great with strangers (aka REALLY challenging). Jonathan followed our exact directions when first meeting him and Murph ended up loving him. You can definitely tell he has a lot of experience and patience. When we picked Murph up from daycare he seemed happy and calm, not stressed like he normally is at bigger daycares. He got two long walks and made two friends along the way. We look forward to booking with him again!

Alina is awesome! She took such good care of my sweet girl Honey when I needed last minute help while working away from home. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and notes about how Honey was doing. She took her on multiple walks, and Honey acclimated to her very quickly. I would absolutely book her again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Galivan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Galivan on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 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 Galivan 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 3,016 sitters in Galivan, 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.
