“Magdalena is an exceptional doggie dare care provider. I reached out to her because my office is requiring that I now come in after 4 years of work from home. I was nervous that my 10-year-old corgi with various health issues would not be enthused about the change, but he LOVES going to Magdalena's house where he is showered with affection all day long. Magdalena sends pictures and videos and updates throughout the day, and my little guy looks ecstatically happy. She is truly the best. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Kimberly is AMAZING! She takes care of my Goofy so well, and he always look like he is having so much fun in the pictures. She updates me constantly and it makes me feel so secure. I already booked her again for next week to take of my Goofy.”
“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.”
About: I love all dogs big and small.I treat every pet like my own family.I give lots of belly rubs and playtime.Your home and dog stay safe with me. Also go with training dogs as well!! As of now, I’m available full-time Monday through Sunday starting November 2 to take care of your furry baby!! So please feel free to contact me anytime!!

About: What sets me apart is how deeply I tune into each pet. I'm an empathetic and thoughtful caregiver — I read the subtle cues and anticipate what a dog needs before they have to ask. I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience with: • Puppies (patience, potty training, basic commands) • Senior pets (gentle handling, mobility support, medication routines) • Basic training reinforcement After decades of pet sitting on the side and loving every minute, I've learned that the little things — a calm voice, a predictable routine, noticing when something feels off — make all the difference. Pet care is my full-time focus. My daily routine revolves entirely around the pets I'm caring for. A typical day starts early — morning walks, feeding, and medication if needed. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and rest according to each pet's rhythm. Evenings are for settling everyone in, sending updates to owners, and prepping for the next day. Because this is my only job, I'm fully present; No juggling meetings or rushing off to a desk. Your pet gets my complete attention. I care for pets in my own home. I've created a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Here's what that looks like: • My home is clean, secure, and set up with pets in mind (no hazards, plenty of cozy spots) • I follow your pet's regular schedule — feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and rest • I only take a small number of pets at a time, so each one gets individual attention • I send daily photos and updates so you can see exactly how they're doing For safety, I'm careful about introductions between pets, keep the environment calm, and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Your pet's well-being is my full-time focus.
About: Dedicated to caring for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. By maintaining their familiar routines, prioritizing their safety, and providing plenty of play and affection, I help them feel comfortable and secure. Regular updates give you peace of mind while you're away. Sticking to routines and instructions as provided. Morning walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles. Spending time and learning your pets personality and catering to that. Ensuring they are safe, protecting them from anything harmful, and maximizing your pets health. I like to give your pet plenty of space to get comfortable and check me out before we start interacting—that way, trust can grow naturally. I always follow your instructions and will reach out if I have any questions. I also take care to keep your home clean and free of anything that could be unsafe, so your pet feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I follow your routine, keeping your pet comfortable and maintaining consistency with walks, meals, and snuggles.
“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 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: Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here! I am retired and my calendar is wide open to the loving care of your four legged friend(s). I am currently working to help save money to send my daughter to college . Our home has a fence with a metal security barrier to prevent little pups from getting out and we have a yard. Our pets are safe and well loved. I will treat your furry friends the same as if they were my own- with respect and care.
“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”
“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 work from home so I have plenty of time to take care of any animal! I can also help with training while I watch them if needed. My schedule is flexible. 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.
“Erika was great with my pup! She was so accommodating to last minute plans & sent me soooo many photo updates during the stay. Her place was perfect for my big dog. She was great & I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Hi Chelsea! Thank you sooo much for watching our baby dog and taking such excellent care of him 💖 we look forward to him staying with you again later this week. Thank you for not only being available on such short notice but also being flexible to the timing as we navigated a lot of scheduling needs. We appreciate you so much and tramp came home super happy and content (we can tell he had a good time) ❤️🫶”
“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!”
“Roots loves Therese and immediately tries to rush me during the drop-off. Therese communicates well and sends photos throughout the day. Roots is exhausted by the time we get home, so I am glad he is socializing and plays well with Jesse :)”
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.

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.

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.

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.
