“Our 3.5 month old Doberman had a great first experience with Saedeeh. She is a very loving person with lots of experience and energy to play with our dog. We have booked another sitting.”

“Claudia was very kind and responsible with our Golden girl. We are always nervous about leaving her for the first time, but Claudia was very loving and sent photos showing how happy and relaxed she was. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend.”

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.
“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!”

“Thanks so much, Sondra, for taking such good care of Sumo and Gromit! They slept great last night and they're looking forward to seeing you over the Christmas break!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.
“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. She has two sweetest girls that are amazing with your dog and Henry loved all the attention he received from them.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Nick gave my puppy thr best day! He communicated with me regularly, knowing I was nervous about 1st day drop off, and was so pleasant and kind. Cooper had the day of his puppy life!”


About: I study Environmental Studies with an emphasis in Animal Behavior and Psychology! Because of this, I feel as though I am a great fit for understanding animals and their needs and being able to handle their needs with care. I myself have a disabled dog, so I am very capable of empathizing with an animal and want to provide your pet with the best quality of care possible! I have a very sociable personality and I would love to play with your pet, take it on walks and outside, or even just have a chill day at home with the animal! I am available to work regularly and as needed, as I have a more flexible schedule. I love to be outside and go on walks, as well as chilling at home so I am very capable of handling various personalities, needs, and ages. I have an enclosed and gated house and a backyard with a pool, and decent space in the interior, and I am willing to do what it takes to make your pet feel at home. As for me caring for your pet in your home, that will largely be determined by your home and your dogs needs and wants!
About: I have raised my dog from 2 months to 4 years. i take him on long walks and absolutely spoil him. i love animals and i cant wait to meet you’re furry friends ! I also trained my puppy from two months to 1 year and a half. I will have unlimited time to care and play with pets as my freetime is dedicated to my pets and my son. I love meeting new animals so I I like to confirm many requests I get. I will keep a very close eye on you’re furry friend and make sure to make your dog as comfortable in stressful situations that may occur.
“thank you so much, Richard! Remi absolutely had the best time with you and I really enjoyed you sending me so many pictures and updates as he definitely is my baby boy! thank you for being so thorough and caring!”

“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.”

“My dog had such a wonderful time at Jamie’s! Jamie was incredibly communicative and flexible with drop off/pick up and sent awesome pics throughout the stay. Rocky got to do so many activities and played great with Jamie’s dog. We’ll be back!”

“Chris is great! Not only was he flexible about our last minute booking, he took the time to better understand our pet and our needs before we arrived. He’s been very tolerant and helpful, offering tips and suggestions about correcting our dog’s “puppy” behavior. We will definitely book with him again!”


About: Hi! I'm Jon, I'm in my early 40s, and I live with my partner in a condo in Aliso Viejo, CA. (I would be the sole service provider) Until recently, my #1 hobby was spending time with my dog, Mae. I loved taking her out on nature trails and all kinds of adventures (in 2024, I even took Mae on a family road trip all the way up to Seattle and back!). After having her for 9 years in our home, I sadly lost my sweet girl in September 2025; she was about 13 years old and unfortunately had developed several unforeseen medical issues. There were a lot of long days and nights of administering medications and emergency vet visits until I made the hard decision to have her pass in comfort at home. I'm still healing from the loss: since I worked from home, Mae was my shadow all day, every day. I have used Rover for many years, but I'm easing into the other side of being a service provider. I'm not ready to get a new dog just yet, but I have a lot of love to give and I'm ready to care for your fur baby on a part-time basis. I'm currently job hunting, so my availability is close to 100% at the moment: I can sit in your home, do drop-in visits, or have your dog(s) stay with me. My condo is completely safe for dogs, my neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are some great walking routes as well as a dog park nearby. I look forward to hearing from you! I'm currently job hunting, but have been working remotely for the past 13 years. Whatever new job I land will either be Remote or Hybrid. Weekdays are best, though I can occasionally care for your dog(s) on weekends as well. With my own dog Mae, I was feeding her twice a day, taking her on 5-6 small walks a day, and making sure her brain was stimulated throughout my work day. In my home: I live in a two-story condo with a loft. Most of the square footage is on the second floor, with a 13-step staircase from the ground floor. For older dogs or those with any hip or joint issues, I have no problem carrying them up or down the stairs. The majority of the main floor has either carpet or large, thick area rugs; the rest of the flooring is wood laminate. I have no problem letting dogs up on furniture or the bed as long as they're fairly clean (especially paws). Your dog will have full access to fresh, cold, filtered water as well as fans/air conditioning, toys and brain enrichment puzzles. I will follow your instructions on what, if any, treats they are allowed to have (and how many). In your home: you make the rules and I will follow them to the letter! I will treat your home and personal property with respect. If I have a question (and I will probably think of lots of them), I will ask you instead of assuming what the answer is. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I have my own car, and I'd love nothing more than to stay home with your dog(s) all day.
“I would definitely recommend Tara! She was available for a very last minute booking, had excellent communication, sent me pictures and updates about my doggie 🐶 Thank you Tara💗”

About: I love dogs . Since I was a child I have grown up with pets... I have a nice home with an outside area and would love to care for your dog .. However, . I prefer dogs who are potty trained, neutered, and for male dogs that don’t urinate or “mark” in my home, but will work with your dogs and care for them as my own. Also please NO DROP OFFS before 7:00 am and NO PICKUPS after 9pm, otherwise, that would require another day's booking. No regular doggy daycare business operates 24/7. If you have an early morning flight or late flight, please accommodate accordingly between my hours of operation : 7:00 am to 9 pm. Please be respectful of peoples times and schedules. I do not run a 24/7 doggy daycare. What you will get from me you won’t get at a commercial doggy daycare is that I don’t watch a ton of dogs! Usually 1-2 dogs max at a time. That way your pup is getting personalized attention. I only do this because this is not my main business and enjoy watching a few pets at a time because I like having dogs around me since my lovely Jack Russell died a few years back of old age and I miss having a pet around. I work from home most days so can watch your dog and give the necessary supervision your pet needs! Thanks and look forward to your reply! I look forward to watching your fur baby! Work remote from home most time during weekdays so can accommodate watching your pet during the day and evenings . Will be around your pet often. Fenced area secured gate- dogs can’t escape plus I keep dogs inside my home and near me so they will be very safe with me.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,094 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Galivan. 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 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 3,094 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.
