“Sarah and her husband Matt we’re awesome doggy daycare for Libra! They sent pictures and gave me updates throughout the day. They’re very welcoming and I felt my dog was safe and happy while she was there. I would use her again and highly recommend you do too!”
“Heather and Calob are so awesome! I’m so glad to have found them to watch our two pups. They are so flexible, responsive and easy to coordinate with. They were great about sending photos too. And our pups sure loved them. Looking forward many more stays in the future!”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”
“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”
“Kellie & Nate were so great to work with! They welcomed our dog in right away like he was part of the family. He got along super well with their dogs and really enjoyed their fenced yard. We really appreciated their caring attention to detail -- our dog can get an upset stomach easily, so it meant a lot that they made sure he didn't get any outside food etc. When we picked him up he was a very happy dog, which was such a good sign since he can get very anxious at times. So glad we got to meet Kellie & Nate, and hope we get to book dog-sitting with them again!”
“Robin's doggy daycare was perfect for our 2-year-old Golden Doodle. She provides a safe home environment and supervised play for the dogs. He had not been to a doggy daycare before this, so I was unsure if he would be anxious. But he settled in right away. We will definitely leave him with Robin again.”
“Susannah and Richard were warm, communicative and wonderful! I can tell that Birdie really enjoyed her afternoon with them and I will be rebooking soon. I love that they are so close to Open space for walks and can also walk Birdie downtown. Highly Recommend!”
“William is great with Louie! He treated Louie just the way he cares for his own fur babies. He was available on short notice, and sent me pictures of Louie while I was at work. That really put me at ease knowing that Louie is having a great tome.:)”
“Evan is fantastic we couldn’t be happier my dog was in love with him running to the front door and jumping on him . I was getting updates and videos and photos every 1-2 hours . Definitely will be using him again thank you so much Evan !!!”
“Murphy has her second visit with Shayla and Jacob today and we are so grateful for their good care. I feel like she’s in great hands there. My big baby even got to meet a cat for the first time today! Thank you so much, she’s exhausted but seems very content.”
“Kylie was great to communicate with and she took really good care of my dog Mochi! She cares for her dog really well. It was relieved to know my dog has someone like this watching him when I’m away!”
About: Currently being a stay at home mother, my hours are very flexible! Growing up with cats and dogs, my kiddos and I are currently lacking the fun presence of furry friends! Although my apartment is not the biggest, allowing only one dog at a time allows all of my attention to be focused. If pets are to stay overnight you can expect daily walks, trips to dog parks and most likely a bath if we get too ambitious. I am an adventurous person that believes dogs have individual personalities and unique characteristics that should be embraced and loved. Allowing pets to cuddle up on the couch MAY be negotiated because I am a sucker for puppy eyes. I am currently a stay at home with my three kiddos. I home school, so including a dog in the mix is so much fun for us! We often go on walks and trips to the park. I have a fenced yard, doggie door for easy outside access and loving, gentle kids to keep your animals company with lots of love and play.
“Mackenzie was super flexible, communicative and professional. My pup had a great time under her watchful eye. She followed all of my directions to a tee and then some. She went above and beyond to make sure my girl was happy as well as keep me updated on her stay. If you’re looking for someone seasoned to take care of your pets, Mackenzie is your gal!”
“Lauren and her husband took great care of our girl while we were out for the day. Communication was great as were the photos! She came home happy and tired which is exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Nadine is a fantastic dog sitter. My little one lets me know if she wants to return to a sitter or not, and she definitely enjoys her time with Nadine! Nadine provides a lot of toys, and her own dogs play with mine, so my little one comes back home fully satisfied and ready to rest. No question we’ll be calling Nadine for more dog sitting days in the near future.”
“150% recommend Brian for your pup! I was so nervous about last minute needing to find a daycare option for my senior beagle who is very much a homebody and can be nervous in new situations, but Brian took so much extra care and attention to make sure Mason was more than comfortable in the new environment and I knew within minutes I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Thank you Brian for the extra love you gave our to our very important family member and communicating every step of the way. You really put our minds at ease dropping Mason off there. I’ll be calling you soon for the next stay!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Glen Ellen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Glen Ellen. 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 Glen Ellen 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 872 sitters in Glen Ellen, 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.
