“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”
About: I have had pets all my life, caring for pregnant mama cats and dogs, as well as their babies. I own 2 small dogs myself who are very friendly and calm. I am flexible to whatever you need and require. I work part time as a substitute teacher. I choose the days I want to work, so I can be available to you majority of the time with 24 hours notice. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in yard, with space to run around in the back yard. I will likely keep your pet indoors most of the time, and can take them out for walks, the dog park and outside in the backyard to run and play.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and Cats since I was a kid and I love almost every pet I see because all are different and they are very sweet in their own way that's my why I love to work with pets because all have different kind of stories I'm always home so I have time to keep an eye on your pet, play with them, pamper them, and take them out to relieve themselves at My backyard wich is totatly closed I have a large and safe space where your dog can spend quality time with the other pets in my home, always under my supervision.
“Mary was awesome! I felt at ease knowing she helps foster dogs and cats. She responded quickly and promptly and was able to meet all my needs! I would definitely recommend Mary!”
“Always a pleasure to work with Ana! Onyx came back super excited and happy! I can tell he had the best day at daycare! He was playing so much, the came home and went straight to sleep! Lol! Thank you again Ana!”
About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant that’s been working with pets medically/professionally for over 7 years. I live in Modesto, CA but work at a vet clinic in Stockton Thursday night - Monday morning. If I have work I will be taking your pet back and forth with me. I am more than willing to allow you in my house to take a look around as well as sharing temporary locations via Apple or life 360. Feel free to call or text for updates. I work from 9am-6pm (and sometimes over-time) about 5 days a week. Please contact me directly to see if our schedules are a potential match. No exceptions, your pet MUST be okay with dogs and cats. It’s highly recommended that they be on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives but it’s a definite no if fleas or ticks are spotted on your pet. I cannot accept any big dogs at this time due to my apartment regulations. Big breaded puppies are okay but I would not be able to be a long-time pet sitter for your big baby. My pets are very friendly with others so I usually have your pet out and about with mine, under supervision. When it comes time for me to go to work, I usually take my boarder with me so they aren’t alone and unsupervised. It’s also highly recommended that your pet be kennel trained because I usually do try to kennel them over night for the safety of themselves, my pets, and my property. Some pets are okay overnight and a kennel is not needed but it really depends on the pet and how they do 😊
About: I have about 10 years of experience in caring for cats and dogs. Reliable, and passionate pet sitter. Ready to love your furry family member I offer a safe, reliable home away from home where your pet will fit seamlessly into a structured daily routine. While I work full-time, my days are anchored around dedicated "power hours" before and after work for long, brisk walks, secured backyard play, and fresh meals, ensuring dogs are content and relaxed. I provide a calm and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest.
About: I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for your dog like they’re my own. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs.

Your dog will be in a calm, clean, and structured environment with: • A fenced yard for safe play • Daily walks and exercise • Lots of attention, love, and supervision • Experience with potty training and leash training I also have knowledge from veterinary assistant training, so I’m comfortable with medications and special care if needed. I understand how important your pet is to you, so I always keep communication open with updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: To make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently an Esthetician that works from home so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pups. Plus my children and I take walks twice a day in my neighborhood. I have a fence in yard and a min dachshund to play with your furry friend. Can crate dog if needed. Dogs are allowed in my house if they are well behaved.
About: I got my first dog when I was eight , a terror mix named gizzie ever since then I learned the responsibility of taking care of dogs , from potty training her , giving her monthly shots and even helping her deliver puppies I gained a true friend and that was just the first. I’ve had the experience to truly love and be loved by over 20 dogs in my lifetime of all different sizes. I have a flexible schedule so I can work around the one you provide , message me with a time and I will gladly let you know if I am available. I take your pets safety and comfort very seriously. I always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your home and pet are safe during every visit.

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”
“Nelson did such a great job watching my fur baby! I am super protective over my 3 year old Siberian Husky & Nelson provided picture updates of my dog throughout the stay. His home is a very safe space & he allowed my dog to feel comfortable& at home. My dog was so happy AND tired out! He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, he was well loved & cared for and received the exercise he needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone & definitely will be coming back!!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was very young and have been caring for my own four cats for a few years. I also have experience with dogs and have had my own while growing up. While I don’t currently have one, since I knew I would be moving over the next few years, I would love to bring my experience and affection into your home for your furry companions. The dog pictured is my Mom’s. He loves when I visit and is always down for cuddles and a walk I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet making sure they’re loved, fed, and groomed during any absence or as a helping hand. I work sparingly at this time and can devote myself to providing for your routine. I’m responsible and flexible, making sure your pets needs are met during routine visits. I want nothing more than for my clients to know their fur babies are cared for and regularly checked on.
“Estefany was very nice when receiving my very energetic baby. She send us picture and keep us updated on how he was doing and over all a great sitter. I would definitely be booking for future trips.”
About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for pets of all kinds — from playful puppies, energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra love. Animals have always been a big part of our family, and we’ve been surrounded by friends, neighbors, and relatives who trust us to care for their pets while they’re working or traveling. I’m responsible and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved! Currently, I work from home running our family business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pets. Caring for animals fits naturally into our daily routine. My twin daughters love to help shower pets with affection, and there’s always someone around to give walks, cuddles, or playtime. Pets blend seamlessly into our home life. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play safely. Inside, pets can relax in a calm, loving environment alongside our sweet 2 year old cat. She is social and used to being around other pets, but I always supervise and take time to make sure every guest feels secure and at ease. All pets must be up to date on vaccinations. Any dogs that show aggression to people or other dogs will be separated and/or crated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hickman. 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 Hickman 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 193 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 .
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 .
