“I have never used Rover before and had a last-minute emergency for my shy little rescue, Maya. She was so happy when I picked her up! Sarah and Matt were kind, communicative, and made me feel like my beloved Maya was in the best of hands. Will definitely go back to this happy, dog-friendly home!”
“Heather & Calob are caring dog owners and obviously take this role seriously. My service dog needed a little respite from me on a Sunday afternoon. They are a terrific choice. Thanks guys! We’ll see you again!”
“Our Dog lucked out by getting to hang with Robin and her family for a few hours during the holiday week. Robins dog Zuko is adorable and welcomed Maggie to share her couch - the ultimate compliment . Robin responds to messages quickly and sent great photos during Maggie’s visit. I highly recommend Robin !”

About: With decades of experience in pet sitting, I’ve developed a deep passion for caring for dogs and cats. Whether it’s a playful pup in need of extra exercise or a shy cat who needs gentle attention, I approach each pet with patience and understanding, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away; as their parent you can trust they’re in good hands. In addition to regular visits and overnight stays, I offer safe and entertaining playdates with my one-year-old mini Goldendoodle puppy. I have experience caring for post - surgical pets; and am well versed in giving medications if needed. Your pets will not only receive personalized care, but they’ll also have the chance to socialize and play during my visits; at your preference. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable care that keeps them happy and healthy; entertained and comforted while their people are away. I HAVE LOTS OF HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY!!! I am working part time in my main career; but my passion is working and caring for animals and being a source of comfort for their owners knowing that their fur baby has companionship and supervision during needed times. I will not be traveling during the holidays this year, so I have lots of availability to help Pet parents take care of their animals this holiday season! At my home, we have 1.5 acres of property, with a fenced in front yard and separate fenced in side yard. I have a 1 year old mini golden doodle & a 3 year old Shit-Poo 😍. So, lots of socializing is available. I also have crates and different spaces available to give your furr baby rest and recharging time and separate eating spaces. When I am in my client’s home; I will do my very best to accommodate their needs, their normal routines etc. I offer multiple times/day visits, dog walking, pet socializing, and housesitting/overnight pet sitting. I’m very flexible and have great communication skills; I will always do my very best to make sure my Furr Clients and their parents are extremely satisfied and confident in me and my services.
About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and possess a special way of relating to dogs. For the last decade, I have been the neighborhood go-to for dog sitting and boarding, while also taking care of my own three dogs. With the large back yard, sunning deck, and kiddie pool, I ensure a fun and relaxing experience for your pups stay. I am skilled in grooming (basic grooming), dog massage, feeding, medication administration, communication (basic-training, recall, etc.), walks, dog park outings, etc. and most importantly, lots of lovin'! I am a musician, property manager, (former massage therapist) who works from home and keeps a daily schedule of caring (feedings, exercise/play/socializing/outings, naps, etc.) for my own and my clients dogs, while keeping up with my creative practices and administrative duties. Dog care is well-integrated into my daily life. After morning feedings, we usually load up into the car and head to the dog park for 1-1.5 hours. Once we return home, the pups generally take a nap for at least 1.5-2.5 hours (allowing me to get some work done and/or to run errands). Once awake, we typically do some playing in the yard and/or training (sometimes involving Charlies Chips Treat - no/low calorie treats). After about an hour or so of play, I shift to preparing dinner for myself and also the dogs, if there are special wet food protocol requests from the owners. After feedings, we spend another hour or so outside before quieting down for the night. I usually play some soft music to settle my own energies down and the dogs seems to really appreciate that too as they tend to fall asleep to it and sleep comfortably throughout the night. I also do a late night potty break at around 10pm, just to avoid accidents throughout the night. Safety is priority to me. My home is set up specifically for their safety and my own. Cleanliness is also an important part of safety and I tend to do that throughout the day (sweep/vacuum, spot-mop, wash bedding, etc.). I have a large fenced in back yard, kiddie pool, lots of toys, and sunning deck for the dogs. The second bedroom has a day bed that the dogs sleep on, as well as multiple dog beds and the couch, if they prefer. I have water bowls in multiple locations throughout the house and backyard. I utilize room dividers at feedings, if necessary, or if I sense a dogs need for space away from the pack.
“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!”
“Wonderful care for our pups! Very accommodating couple. They were helpful with directions and logistics. I’m very grateful we found them last minute so we could attend an event in the area. Would be delighted to use them again!!”
About: Every dog is different and that’s how I approach care. Whether working with a high energy puppy who needs structure and consistency or a senior dog who needs patience, gentle handling and extra attention, I tailor my approach to fit their personality and needs. I provide the highest level of attention and communication. I treat every dog like they’re my own by paying attention to their behavior and comfort, and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I work fully remote at home with the flexibility to take breaks as needed, go for walks and attend to your dogs needs at any given time. I have a fenced yard for outside activity while my home provides a comfortable space for your dog. I live right next to a big park that’s ideal for dogs.
“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!”
“Allyse is incredible! She takes amazing care of our Frenchie, Franklin, and we couldn't be happier. Frenchies can have their quirks and specific needs, but Allyse handles Franklin with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. She sends great updates, pictures, is super reliable, and it's incredibly clear how much she truly cares about dogs. Franklin absolutely adores her. If you want peace of mind knowing your pup is in the best hands, hire Allyse! Highly recommend.”
About: Spa Le Chien is specially tailored to your dog's needs while you are away from OR visiting California's Wine Country. I strive to make the experience unforgettable for your precious family member. I have been pampering pooches in my well-appointed modular house, located in a bucolic 55+ senior park in the charming village of Sonoma, for almost fifteen years. As a rule I only care for a single K9 at a time, so I can give it my full, undivided attention. There may occasionally be overlap between clients but rarely more than a single day or night. Safety is my first priority. Cleanliness, exercise, feeding and entertainment are our focus. I tend to work with small, older dogs and have helped elderly and infirm ones, too. But I am open to all types. I consult thoroughly with owners about their requirements before embarking on any regimen. I have never had a dissatisfied client...dogs love it here!
About: I have had dogs and cats and parakeets since before I could walk, and now that I am retired, I will care for your fur babies such that you are able to relax knowing they are in the best of care. I am retired from the court system and available most any time. I can work with your schedule intertwined with any commitments I might have. I can accommodate whatever needs you have, be it walking, pet sitting, dropping in in order to check on your babies and also staying the night.
“Kari and her dog Bella were great. Louie was very comfortable in their home and I felt like he was well taken care of during his 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.
