About: I have experience caring for dogs 🐶 of all personalities, including feeding 🍽️, walking 🚶♀️, playtime 🎾, cuddles 🐾, and companionship ❤️. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs 🐕🐕🦺, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅ to keep routines consistent. I love making every dog feel happy, safe, and loved ✨🐾. I’m a stay-at-home mom 🏡, so I’m home most of the day to give dogs 🐶 walks, playtime, and in-home care. I’m available weekdays and weekends 📅, and I keep my schedule flexible to fit your dog’s routine ✨. Your dog’s safety is my top priority! All walks are done in my safe, familiar neighborhood 🚶♀️, and my large backyard is fully fenced 🏡 for secure outdoor play. Dogs are never left unsupervised, and I always follow the owner’s instructions ✅.
“If you’re in need of someone to care for your dog, Alice is the person I trust the most! She is my go-to sitter whenever I’m out for a day or an entire vacation. In August, she took him in for 3 weeks while I was in the Philippines and as much as I missed him, I knew he was in wonderful hands! She’s caring and attentive. I really appreciated the updates she would send. In his most recent stay, she babysat for a day and I never had to worry! Again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust, it’s Alice!”
“This was my first time with Wendy’s service, and she was awesome! Very reliable and sweet! I dropped off my puppy & Wendy conveniently dropped her back off at my house! Her has a nice size from yard with grass for your fur babies to play & lives in a fairly quiet neighborhood. Will definitely be booking with Wendy again!”
“Natalie was awesome with Mac....he didnt actually want to go. Also appreciated that on a short notice how professional she was with finding out about Mac's needs. Definitely will be calling on her again!!!!”
About: Our family loves dogs! We have taken care of dogs from friends and family, and thought it would be great to do more. Our sweet doggie Payton passed away so we don’t have any pets in our home right now. We have two young daughters (4 and 3) who grew up with our beloved Payton (a shitzu) and adore dogs. I work from home and Mark’s schedule is flexible. We are often home all day, so we can accommodate puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and attention. We don’t have a yard, but happy to take your pup out as frequently as needed- grass is close by! We would love the chance to get to know your loved one and will treat him/her like family :) Mark and I are both home nearly all day except when one of us goes to run an errand. We can accommodate walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. And lots of play time :) We live in a secured 2-story townhome. We have a balcony but no yard, but can take your pup outside for walks or potty breaks as often as needed. Our neighborhood is very safe.
“Absolutely amazing. She was so good with my husky girl. Nala was exhausted when I picked her up. Which is rare for a husky haha. Will be booking again weekly if possible”
About: I have helped animals in nearby shelters mostly cats. I have a deep love for animals and I feel most happy whenever I am around them and get to care for them. I’m currently available to provide pet care to pets on most days.If my schedule ever changes I will be sure to let pet owners know. I always make sure to put away any cable or cover outlets and use toys and play with pets so they don't hurt themselves. I always keep an eye out on what they are doing as well for their safety.
“This baby sitter always comes through for me. Traveling for an extended trip. Dog being a baby and doesn’t WANT to stay home alone for 10 hours. Surgery. And my puppy, now a teenager in human years(?), is always very happy to GO BACK to stay with them again. Her being healthy and happy (plus photos of her day) is the REAL TEST!!!”
“Kyle was quick to reply to a last minute dog sitting request, and I’m so grateful he was able to help. He was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. This was my first time putting my puppy in daycare, but he reassured me and made me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. He clearly has experience with puppies and even puppy socialization. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren, and I’m a mom to one human and one fur baby. I’ve been a foster parent in the past for cats and dogs, caring for them until they found their forever homes. I’m experienced with all temperaments, all sizes, neonatal and even medical needs. I’ve been pet sitting consistently on Rover. I keep things clean including scooping the litter box daily and I work from home running my consulting business, Asset Babe, which empowers women to achieve financial freedom. I’m also a full time student, so I am home and completely flexible for your pet's needs. Since I live in an apartment, I only board smaller dogs and cats, but for drop-in visits I can definitely handle larger dogs (I have plenty of experience with them!). I bring my son with me to my jobs if he isn’t at school, and he loves animals too. At home, we don’t mind cats and puppies in the bed; we want them to feel completely at home during their stay. I’m not strict about pets on the furniture, but I will always respect your specific boundaries and routines. The character trait I value most is integrity. I treat people and animals the way I want to be treated, and whenever I step into someone's home, I make sure to respect that space as well. I’m always open to communication, so please message me if you have any questions! I’m super friendly, but being neurodivergent, I sometimes navigate social contexts a bit differently. Just know I am always here to help. I’ll be sure to communicate immediately if any issues arise and send as many pictures and updates as you’d like! I take my son to school 2x a day and I go to school full time. I’m home and very flexible to your pets needs. If I’m going to a pets home I’ll follow directions. If they are in my home they will just blend in with our schedule unless they have specific needs. If they need to be taken out more I can do so. When I run errands I will separate all animals. I’ll be sure they are comfortable and cared for.
“Matthew is awesome! So friendly and communicates well! He has so much space for the furbabies to run around and enjoy themselves. I would highly recommend Matthew and will be booking with him again! Thank you Matthew!!!”
“Cindy is the best! Kept my pups active and showed them all of the love ☺️ She's very thorough and gives great updates and photos throughout the day that makes me feel the upmost comfort while the pups are in her care!”
About: I am a definite cat and dog lover. I've grown up to take care of dogs of different breeds and sizes. I love them all and treat each of them as if they are my own. I am currently available during weekdays and weekends. I work from home full time and flexible to different times of the day. Feel free to message me with any questions! The way I care for pets in my home is pay attention to their wants and needs. I love being active, energetic and playful with pets to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
We had such a great experience with our pet sitter! She took care of our dogs for 4 days of daycare and was absolutely wonderful with them. She was very accommodating, reliable, and communicated with us really well throughout the day. Our dogs seemed very happy and comfortable with her, and we really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. She made everything easy and was always responsive when we checked in. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐶🐾❤️
We had such a great first daycare experience with Miyabi! I was really nervous since it was Romi's first time at daycare, but she made the whole experience so much easier with frequent updates/photos/videos. Really appreciate how communicative and honest she was throughout the day. It was clear that Romi was well cared for and having a great time. Thanks, Miyabi!
Luther had such an absolute amazing time. We could tell from the photo and video updates (he had zoomies and rolled all over Annie’s rug showing how much he was loving being there). On top of that Luther looked like he got along with Kina and they understood each other. What a perfect match for our fur baby. We will definitely be reaching out for another play date soon.
Emily was great! We did a meet and greet with her dog ahead of the first stay to make sure they could get along. She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day and most importantly, our dog seems like he had a great time hanging out with her dog and cat!
Shy was amazing with our fur baby! I stayed with Rocket until he was comfortable and all settled in. You could tell she was caring, understanding and met all of his needs. He had a blast with her two dogs. She had lots of toys that he loved playing with and was allowed access to their home. I’m so lucky to have found her. Thank you Shy for taking such good care of Rocket. We cannot wait to come back.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Gardena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Gardena is $37 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,383 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gardena. 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 Gardena 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.
As of October 2026, there are 8,383 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
