“Blaze is absolutely THE BEST! I needed someone last minute and she was available and took amazing care of my dog. He helped her do all the fam chores this morning, met a bunch of new animals and loved her kids. Would recommend 1000%”
“Rekha is very caring and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. He is usually timid; however, he took an immediate liking to her. She took him for a walk and gave him lots of attention. I will definitely rebook her again!”
About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends. Anything from Lhasa apso to cocker spaniel to labradoodle to pit bull and to Doberman, you name it, I’ve cared for them! I’ve spent many years administering, vet-approved, health/quality of life medications (anxiety, infections, fleas, etc.), bathing/brushing/drying, and exercising dogs. I love seniors and puppies all the same, all are welcome! It is my mission to provide ease and comfort for you, and your beloved fur-family, until you're back home with them again; all while doing something that I love :) My current schedule is open 7 days a week, from early morning, up until 8pm at night. Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)
“Briana was amazing with Willow! She updated and sent pictures frequently and I was assured that my dog was in good hands while I toured Sacramento! My dog also had so much fun and was tired when she got home. I highly recommend :)”
“I had another booking that unfortunately had to cancel last minute the day before. I luckily was able to quickly connect with Jamie and Alan the very next day to confirm another booking. Quick communication, graciously showed us their beautiful yard where Nori had a blast and sent us plenty of pics/ update.”
“Carla is the best dog sitter! She cared and loved on my puppy. She provided updates on olives activity. Very professional and sweet. I recommend her! We’re coming back!! Pleased w her services”
“Wendy and AJ provided excellent care for my little buddy Chihuahua mix Mylo. They even went out of their way to bring him home. I was concerned about drinking and driving. So they volunteered to bring Mylo home. That was very sweet of them and I hope to continue having them as Mylo’s future care provider.”
“Our experience with Ceudi was great. She took great care of our dog for the day. He is on regular meds and she gave it on time and kept us posted as well. He seemed happy and comfortable with her and her family. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Amanda is fantastic! My boy, Dickson, absolutely loves going to her house for daycare. He has so much fun and is always pooped when he gets home. Amanda takes great care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout his stays. I will definitely keep using Amanda for my dog sitting and boarding needs.”
“Domynique was amazing with my puppy Ollie. She sent updates and would provide walks along with just great quality time. She was super accommodating to my commute that she volunteered to meet me half way. Ollie always came home ready for a nap after a great day with Domynique, will definitely be booking again and would recommend 🥰”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I have been a go-to sitter for family and friends for many years and look forward to having your furry friend join my dog Trixie and me for the day. I am a notary who works from home. My notary work takes only a few hours a week, so I have lots of time to be present and care for your pet. Trixie and I would enjoy taking your dog on walks in the neighborhood; we have a park around the corner. I have a fenced backyard with room for your pet to run around or stretch out in the sun and relax. My 13-pound dog Trixie is calm and friendly and loves having other dogs come to stay.
About: I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Animals quickly feel calm around me, and their safety and well-being are always my top priority. Pet care is my main activity and fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure pets get regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention every day. I also keep their space clean and spend time giving them affection. Weekly, I plan extra outdoor activities, visits to the nearby dog park (if allowed), and interactive play to keep them happy, healthy, and engaged. 🐾 I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals.

“Kenia was excellent at taking care of my girl. She helped her settle in quickly and kept her occupied for the day sit. Kenia even gave us a little souvenir polaroid of her stay. It was a sweet touch.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all types of dogs. From Rottweilers to currently owning a Rat Terrier. I love dogs and have been known to be able to teach them some minor tricks. Most importantly, I love to let them be themselves and have fun. I walk every day for exercise, so walking your dog would not be an issue for me. The more I walk the more weight I’ll lose. I have a one bedroom apartment. But it’s big enough to take care of multiple pets. My dog has three beds herself. I have a playpen area where they can play many dog toys, and treats.
About: I enjoy the company of animals and catering to them while their owners are unable to due to work, personal obligations, or vacation. I care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they are comfortable, well fed, and exercise them as needed. It's truly rewarding to be able to provide a services to alleviate stress and enjoy the company of a four legged buddy where they are made to feel at home.
“I found Marcie on Rover and she responded quickly on such short notice. I contacted her on a Friday and she was able to accommodate our pit bull Jada the next day. Marcie was courteous enough to provide photos of Jada while at the dog park. Jada looked like she enjoyed her time with Marcie. We look forward to using Marcie again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,368 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Herald. 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 Herald 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
