“Very kind and gentle with our fur baby! They were also flexible on the drop off and pick up time. They live right by the beach and whale watching tour pier. We will hire them again when we come back to Santa Barbara!”
“I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have met Marty and Lynn. They were so accommodating and even flexible with some last-minute changes. My boy, Todd, was in absolute paradise in their lush backyard. They are so generous to open it up for daycare. I love seeing photos throughout the day of Todd’s relaxing day in their special care. We booked 2 dog sitting days, back to back and the second day when I dropped Todd off he was PULLING so excited to be back! I wish I lived closer and could have Todd see them all the time! They are fabulous dog people and I can’t wait for the next time we are in Santa Barbara.”
“Jake is a wonderful dogsitter and Jett is a great buddy for my dog, Gaia. Gaia can be unpredictable with new dogs, and Jake was very accommodating as we got the two dogs acquainted. Now Gaia loves going to play with Jett. And Jake makes it easy - he’s conscientious, super responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Honey looked after our poodle Henni for the afternoon through evening and took great care of her. She was very professional, taking time to really learn about Henni and her habits, schedule, and temperament before we left. We really appreciate her help!”
“Stacey was able to accommodate a last-minute booking with my two pups for daycare. One of my dogs takes a bit more time to warm up and Stacey was sweet and patient about it. My other little guy made a friend during his visit. Excellent communication, sending updates with pictures/video. I'm looking forward to booking more visits with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and often care for friends and families dogs and cats, in our house and theirs. Our family loves pets and would love to treat yours, like ours, while you’re gone. I can only offer my services to pets that will get along with my two young kids, both under ten. My older daughter loves animals! We have a large fenced in back yard so your dog can be in or out all day long. Very dog-friendly backyard. We love going for walks around the neighborhood and the beach. We’re open to puppies and older dogs as well. We feel comfortable with feeding, and offering medication if needed. Need to know: Any quirks your dog has, potty trained, feeding schedule, safe off leash, veterinarian and your dog's schedule.

We love going to walks and playing in the backyard between work meetings! On the weekends we love to be active as a family and happy to include pets! I have a fenced in yard that’s very dog friendly. We keep at least one door open so dogs can go in and out as needed.
“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”
“Tory was great! She was super flexible with a last minute ask, and Cooper liked her immediately. Tory sent updates during his stay, and he was obviously relaxed and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Tory, and will look to her next time we need dog care.”
“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”
“Sholeh is very calm, attentive, and knows about dogs. My 10 month old golden retriever is timid at new places and still gets overstimulated on walks sometimes. Sholeh handled him patiently and positively. She also asked before offering the treats she prepared. She offered meet and greet before the sitting and really tried to know my dog. She read my dog’s profile and care instructions beforehand and remembered it. She always responded within a few minutes. She communicated well, she noticed any smallest discomfort in my dog, communicated with me and took great care of my dog. Overall, highly recommended.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!
“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”
“Wendy is so kind and my puppy Bear seemed to have an amazing day at her house during doggy day care. I felt like he was in safe hands from the first moment I met her and he was so content when I picked him up!”
“A picture is worth a thousand words. Bowie doesn’t smile with strangers. That’s how we know he was in good hands. He even sat for a full on picture something he doesn’t like. Hilary and Bowie are friends.”
“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”
“Nancy was fantastic. She loves dogs and her place is safe and secure. She kept me updated with pictures and I was very comfortable leaving my precious Bucky with her. I highly recommend Nancy 😁”
“Ryan was very flexible and great with Zoey. Zoey went on many outings and was well cared for. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Zoey had a blast and was sad to leave. Ryan is very friendly and easy to work with.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hope Ranch
My baby had such a good time at Wendy’s lovely house. She was a little anxious at first. Wendy is so patient and gave her so much love. She was happy and calm when we pick her up and became so close to Wendy. It’s a short day care but Wendy shared a lot of pictures, videos, and notes so we are not worry about her at all when attending our friend’s wedding. Will definitely come back!
Absolutely wonderful experience with Rebecca! I could tell right away that she would take great care of my pup—her enthusiasm and genuine love for dogs really shines through. She was incredibly communicative throughout the day and sent great photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I can’t recommend Rebecca enough and will absolutely book with her again!
Megan was AMAZING! Very attentive and accommodating. Our concert was late to start and she was ok with keeping our puppy later than we had originally expected. We really appreciated her willingness to keep our fur baby safe and happy! Definitely recommend! Wonderful family! Thanks Megan!
Max and Alicia were amazing with my dog, Naya! She can be a little nervous at first, but they were so patient and caring with her. I really appreciated the updates throughout the day, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend them!

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 Hope Ranch 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 260 sitters in Hope Ranch, 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.
