“Magdalena is very good with dogs and has a cozy, comfortable yard and home for them to enjoy themselves in. I really appreciate her communication as well. Thank you!”
About: From exotic to domesticated animals, I have been loving and taking care of them. Always and forever will have space in our hearts and home. I am available most days since I work from home and have time to watch and care for your fur babies. I enjoy walking and play time outside. The yard is fenced and we have a shed at the back that can be a safe space for pets and they are welcome to explore the space.
“Therese is the dig sitters of all dog sitters. I’ve been able to use her for the last 3 years and she has been nothing short of highly accommodating of my hectic schedule with my dog Currie. She communicates well and does a great job of taking care of all her pups. I would highly recommend!”
“Margaret to excellent care of Snowflake. She even taught us some helpful tips for our pup and sent us off with a genius training tool! Honestly, we are so happy we found her!”
“Freddie was so stoked! He got lots of play time with his new bff Henri and was very well taken care of. Will definitely book with Michael again. Truly felt like Freddie was with family.”
“Thanks to Yael's care, I am finally relaxed when I leave my old, anxious dog, Maybelline! She (my dog) always leaves calm and happy. Yael is tuned into her needs and goes above and beyond to make her happy, including giving her little cooked vegetables for Maybe to snuff out around the house. So grateful I found her.”
About: I live with males. I don’t have any pets of my own and will only pet-sit one client at a time! I have been animal sitting privately for 8 years so I recently decided to take this more on a public level. I am able to give your pets and furr babies any type of medication. Just being able to hang out with animals, is fun in general. I do live with males so please let me know if that is an issue. I have a hybrid work schedule, but my partner is home at all times. He has a WFH schedule, so if I’m not able to watch the pup, he will! I can also help with training while I watch them if needed! I have pride on making the environment safe for any animal. I do like to go over any types of protocols that are needed (medicine, allergies, aggression, etc…) with the owner.
“Aries and Inwoo are the best! They’re very communicative, friendly and caring. Our dog Charlie has a lot of fear and anxiety but they took the time to help her feel comfortable and ease her stress. We also have a senior dog that needs medication by syringe and they were able to handle that no problem. You can tell they have a lot of experience with animals and really care for them. We will continue to take our dogs to day care at their home and board them there!”
“My dogs love Yeseniya! She is patient, sweet, and incredibly friendly. I especially appreciate how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs. She listens and talks to them, gets to know their personalities, and pays attention to what each of them needs. Her home is very comfortable and welcoming for dogs, and her yard is perfect whether they want to run around and play or, like one of mine, just lay outside and bask in the sun. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for the day and am so glad to have found someone local for daytime and overnight stays in the future. I would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve always had pets at home, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet with the same care and love I give my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give pets the time and attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable by following their routine, keeping a clean space, and giving them gentle, attentive care with love and respect.
“Miguel and his wife were so kind and helpful. They took Hazey in last minute and were quick to respond, which we really appreciated. They were very accommodating to her needs and made her feel comfortable right away. Their home is spacious, clean, and welcoming, which gave us peace of mind. We’re very grateful for their flexibility and care and would absolutely recommend them.”
“Erika was great with my dog. When we went back the second day he pulled me to her door, because he was excited to go back. Her dog is super sweet, a mellow marshmallow. She was very responsive and flexible. I will definitely use her again.”
“My dog had such a wonderful day with Jana and her family! They were so sweet to her-- Rocky got to run around outdoors for so much of the day and came back happy and tired. Thank you for such wonderful care, excited to book again.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and got a lot of experience with different personalities through fostering and volunteering with rescues such as BFLA. I also have a lot of experience with pets who need regular medication. I work at home with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to take care of your pet whether it's for a few hours, a day, or more! I have a very friendly dog and cat. I have a gated house with an outdoor area but no grass or dirt. If boarding at mine, the pet will need to be friendly with my own pets.
About: I grew up with 5 big dogs, two German Shepards and three Dobermans. I love dogs. I actually love all animals. I just think they deserve all the best love and care we can give them. So that's the goal. Through out my life I have rescued, fostered and adopted many dogs and even had a wolf. Now, I only have one little hopeless romantic of a dog (small and very friendly, kind and respectful), and that there's plenty of room in the house and the backyard. I would like extend an invitation to any lucky dog or dogs that want love, good food and top notch attention and care I'm your guy. I'm home all day, most of the week. My schedule prioritizes the dogs. I don't like to leave animals unattended. That's about it. I have a spacious backyard that's safe and perfect for frolicking, playing or bathroom brakes. They have access to the house and the yard, I don't believe in keeping dogs off the furniture. So they'll pretty much do as much as you'll let me let them. I don't mind messes, but I like to keep it very clean. Water and food is always available, and if they make any request I'm keen on appeasing them.

“Django is delighted to have made 3 new friends, Sandra, Alfonso and their cute and rambunctious dog, Baxter. He was welcomed into their home like an old friend. They provided him everything a dog needs for contentment: attention, affection, stimulation, and snacks! He was his usual apprehensive self when he arrived but within 20 minutes he was chilled out on the sofa. We're both looking forward to his next visit. One more thing: thanks for sharing, Baxter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Charlie was great with my rescue foster dog Flash!!! From the meet and greet, to the the drop off and pick up Charlie was one of the most kindest, caring human being I ever met, and I knew my dog Flash would love her. He loves going on walks with her, playing in her yard, or just cuddling with her. My dog can have separation anxiety and can be challenging to care for since he is a rescue but Charlie was consistently professional caring and put my dog first. I know he’s well taken care of in Charlie’s hands, and I’m so glad I found her on here!!!
My dogs love Yeseniya! She is patient, sweet, and incredibly friendly. I especially appreciate how much she genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs. She listens and talks to them, gets to know their personalities, and pays attention to what each of them needs.

Apollo had such a great time with Margaret! He opened up to her right away, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. It was especially hot today, so I really appreciated that she has an amazing shaded backyard where Apollo could relax and enjoy time with the other pups. You can tell Margaret has a lot of experience with dogs, and she was wonderful about communicating and keeping me updated. I felt completely at ease knowing Apollo was in such good hands. We would definitely have him stay with her again!

Great experience. She was easy to communicate with, sent updates throughout the day, and took great care of Winston. He came home happy, clean, and tired from a fun day. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
Madison was a life safer after my sweet Hazel’s spay surgery. I was required to go to work on short notice the day after her surgery so not only was my pup not feeling great but she had never been left with anyone else or spent her day at an unfamiliar place. I was anxious about leaving her because she can be a pretty shy and nervous girl to begin with and she had already had a pretty traumatic day so as a dog mom, I was pretty worried how all that stress may show up in someone else’s home. Madison was very patient at drop off and aloud Hazel the time and space needed to be shy but curious and approached her gently. She sent immediate communication after I left to let me know how she was settling in and continued to provide pictures and updates throughout the day which was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I felt confident Hazel was safe and being cared for just as well as she would be at home. Definitely keeping Madison in mind for any dog or cat sitting needs going forward.
Erika and her niece/mom were so great and so communicative with Kuzco! he def had so much fun and came back so happy and tired running around with all his new friends all day + going on walks and different places. thank u again - will def be bringing him back here again :)
Inwoo and Aries took such great care of my dog, Kuzco! they were super communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, took him on plenty of walks, and def seemed like they spent a lot of time playing with and caring for him with their sweet golden doodle Abby too! i can def be a little nervous leaving my dog with others, but they made me feel completely comfortable and at ease the whole time. Kuzco came home soonhappy and tired, and will definitely book with them again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highland Park on Rover is $47.73 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Highland Park 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 8,421 sitters in Highland Park, 87% 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.
