“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.”
“Today was the first time my 10 month old pup went to a sitter. Margaret was very sweet and helpful getting Maverick acclimated and warmed up to the other pups she was watching. I will definitely bring him back soon! Thank you for caring for Maverick today!”
“Kimberly's was a safe and reassuring place for my senior Maltipoo while I was away for the day. I am thankful to Kimberly for taking good care of my lil oldy doggy. She was gentle with him and allowed him to be his quirky self at her place. She provided regular updates and photos on his day. Kimberly herself was so kind and professional. I very very much recommend her for daycare or boarding.”
“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: 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: My top priority is making sure each pet feels not just safe, fed, and hydrated—but loved. I understand that time feels different for animals than it does for humans. When their owner is away for days or weeks, it can feel like forever to them. I provide comfort, companionship, and affection to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for until their family returns. 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.
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.
About: Hi! We’re a work-from-home family—along with our sweet fun goldendoodle co-pilot. Over the years, I’ve cared for and raised rabbits, cats, dogs, and even a teenager. I also use Rover for our own dog, so I understand what you’re looking for in a sitter: someone who communicates clearly, sends photos, and treats your dog like family. That’s exactly how I care for every pup in our home. Our dog gets 10,000 steps a day. I also know how to avoid mean dogs behind fences, and I carry a taser for emergencies. I am new to Rover, but not new to dog-sitting. I regularly care for dogs for our neighbors and family. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Morning dog walks and afternoon dog walks happen everyday and we aim for 10,000 steps or more. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I am best suited for well-socialized dogs who are comfortable in a home environment and get along with other dogs. I treat our dog guests the way I treat my own: like a member of our family.
About: Growing up I have had a total of 9 dogs and all of them stole a piece of my heart. I would love to the opportunity to spend time with your dog because they sincerely make me happy. I work from home and have a 1 bedroom apartment in Highland park with an enclosed grassy area and a few nearby parks. A day with me would probably involve working from home, going to the park, running errands around town, hanging out at home or all of the above. I will care for your fur baby like I would my own, with lots of love. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pet care is integrated seamlessly into my day, allowing me to give dogs the attention and care they need. I can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and bathroom breaks throughout the day, making sure their routine stays consistent. Being home all day means I’m always nearby to offer companionship, comfort, and attention, so they’ll never feel alone. This flexibility also lets me closely monitor their behavior and adjust care as needed, whether they’re feeling energetic and ready for play or need some downtime to rest. Plus, since I'm always around, I can respond quickly to any needs or changes that arise, ensuring they feel safe and cared for at all times. I live in a one-bedroom cozy apartment with my small dog Scruff. We have a fenced in grass area for potty breaks. :) I can crate your dog if needed as well.
“Natalie was wonderful! She accommodated our last-minute request with such kindness and flexibility, which we really appreciated. She was very friendly and took great care of our dog!”
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.
About: I grew up in a home with a dog, a cat, birds, fish, and rabbits. Throughout my life, I’ve opened my heart to many a pooch, including a beautiful epileptic Dalmation, a feisty pocket Shih Tzu (that one of my students brought to school in a backpack), an adorably lazy Bijon-Maltese mix who came to stay for a weekend and stayed 10 years -- and most recently a spirited 13 year old Terrier mix that we brought home after his person died unexpectedly. All were loved and doted upon until they crossed the rainbow bridge. The smaller ones vacationed by car, truck, and plane and were with us 24/7. I’ve often cared for my friends' dogs and am known for giving good doggy massages. I’ve also shared my space with an African Sulcata tortoise for the last 17 years. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I own a small business that allows me to come and go easily, allowing for long walks and/or lounging around. I have a fenced yard, leashes, bowls, a medium sized dog crate if necessary, lots of healthy snacks and lots of time for walks and doggie massages. In your home, I will care for your special friend as instructed. If your pooch loves toys, we will play, if snoozing is their favorite thing, I will happily sit nearby and chill too.
“Amazing sitters! I was in LA for work and they took care of my new dog Molly wonderfully. I felt comfortable being fully present at work and trusting she was in good hands. These are dog people!”
“Very communicative and always excited to see our Luna! Luna basically runs inside now and I've never seen her so happy outside our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“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!”

Em and Taylor are such pros!! They kept my Siberian husky entertained and stimulated while I was gone for the evening. She was very happy to be there! I received lovely photos.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Highland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highland Park on Rover is $45.6 per day (as of July 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 8,476 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.
