“Awesome awesome awesome! I felt safe to leave my babies with her she is an amazing person and loves dogs! Her dogs were so playful with ours and our babies had so much fun! She kept us updated with photos and how they were! I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been around dogs most of my life. I have a 9 year old Vizsla and have fostered for a Vizsla rescue and watched dogs for deployed military for the past few years. I have also watched several dogs for neighbors and friends over the years and really enjoy it. I love dogs and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and city. I work from home, so I am able to give dogs a lot of attention and activity. I especially welcome active dogs like mine that enjoy walks, park playtime, dog beach, hikes and more. When I have looked for sitters for my dog over the years, I have looked for people who have experience with the breed and are ready for the velcroness, silliness and shenanigans that come from a pointer. While I am happy to host any friendly, well-behaved dogs, I also want the Vizsla, GSP, Weimy community to know…I get you and I’m ready 😬 Schedule similar to my dog’s. Usually outside every 4 hours or so for walks/playtime. Plenty of outside play time. I also have a doggy door to the back patio if your dog likes to bask in the sun like mine during the day I’m at home and don’t leave the dogs for long on their own. I interact with the dogs throughout the day and esp at our community park where they can play and run with other well-behaved dogs in the neighborhood. Dogs that stay with me have roaming privileges throughout the house. I have dogs beds throughout, but they are also welcome on the beds, sofa, etc.
About: For the first time in 23 years I am living without a dog. I have had anywhere from my last solo pup to a pack of 4. I have gone through training with previous dogs so have experience with commands and reactive walkers. I have done dog sitting in other people’s homes, in my own, as well as drop ins and walks. Most of all I love dogs and am not quite ready to adopt again, but would love to help you with yours! I work for myself from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available most days and times depending on what you need. I have a spacious apartment that your pet will have free range of. There is no fenced yard, but I am in a very walkable neighborhood with parks nearby. And if your dog likes the beach I am just a short distance to Huntington Dog Beach.
“Lola came back to me in one whole piece and happy :) thank you Kristin for taking care of my child (yes, I refer to my doggy as my child)! I will definitely book with you again when in need :)”
“Catherine was Ahmaaazing! My babies are pretty picky with where they stay and who they like, so when I picked them up everyday and they seemed super happy after spending the day with her, I was super relieved! She kept me updated throughout the day and even sent me pictures. She took my babies on walks and even did some training with them. I wish she was free next week! lol. I give her a 10 out of 10!”
“Highly recommend! A wonderful person all around, will definitely be booking her again! She has great communication and a very comfortable energy, coop was excited to come back each day!”
“Kaiwen was very polite and helpful. Asked good questions to learn more about my dog and his temperment, behavior to fit with other dogs for his first time stay. Had space for him to play and nap and even fed him when I forgot food. Dog returned happy and tired. Thank you!”
“I can't say enough good things about Tracy! From the moment I met them, I knew my furry friend was in capable and caring hands. She took time to understand my dogs unique needs and personality, making sure they felt safe and comfortable! Hands down the BEST sitter! While I was away, I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. 10/10 will use again!”
“Daniella and her husband were so great! We had a last-minute trip to the beach for our son’s birthday, but our puppy hasn’t been socialized enough for the dog beach yet so we needed someone to watch him. We found Daniella on the app and they were able to take Maddox in within an hour. They were so kind to us and patient with our puppy and made sure to send pictures and keep us updated for the afternoon.”
“My goldendoodle had the best time with Sandra and her family! My baby is a very shy guy and he thrived in the care of Sandra. He had so much fun and it was really comforting being updated throughout the day with pictures and videos! Will definitely be booking with Sandra again :)”
About: We've had many dogs in our lives and love to give them attention. Your baby will be as loved as our baby. Our home is small but very pet friendly. I work from home so I will always be around to give them the care they need. They will get plenty of walks, hugs, pets and treats if allowed. Our home is very safe. We have a runner in our home so we make sure they stay in the house at all times. We also will give walks as needed.
“Need to rant and rave about May and Zac. OMG so glad we selected their services. From the moment we communicated, we felt confidant with them. They expressed a level of care and attention a pet owner could only ask for. They went above and beyond. We dropped off our pup and we felt assured during the greeting. May followed up with updates during pups stay. What can we say, from start to finish, the experience was above and beyond our expectation. Looking forward to future visits!”
“Layla was very accommadting to our time and Maddie's specific needs as a young partially vaccinated puppy. Maddie got to play with Layla's older lab Jack and came home tired from a long day of play! Would definitely trust Layla with my baby again, I felt better leaving her while I was at work because I got pictures and videos throughout the day of Maddie my pup.”
“Lea was very professional and constantly sending me pics throughout the day of what my dog was doing. She is an amazing option for doggy day care and has a loving dog herself that played with my dog the whole day. I will 100% be sending My dog back to stay with her in the future again.”
About: I bring over 35 years of hands-on pet care experience, having grown up with and cared for cats, dogs, and a wide range of animals throughout my life. I’ve raised and trained dogs, including puppies, and have extensive experience caring for cats both personally and for friends and neighbors. My daughter Coral, who is almost 14, lives with me. She has grown up around animals as well and has learned how to safely bathe, walk, and care for dogs through helping with her friends’ pets and our shared love for animals. We live in a safe, beautiful, dog-friendly coastal neighborhood just steps from the ocean and beach park, offering an ideal environment for walks, exercise, and calm outdoor time. Pets in our care receive consistent attention, affection, and a peaceful environment. Cats are also welcome in our care and can enjoy a calm, secure home environment with safe outdoor exposure if appropriate. Above all, we treat every animal like part of the family and focus on creating a stable, loving, and attentive experience where pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily rhythm and is something I can consistently and reliably integrate throughout the week. Mornings are ideal for early walks and I’m available for overnights any day of the week. I work for myself from home and see clients throughout the day, which allows me to be present and attentive while still maintaining a flexible schedule. While I may step out for appointments, I’m generally home and able to check in regularly. Weekends offer even more flexibility and availability for extended stays, outings, and focused attention. This structure allows me to provide consistent, dependable care and companionship for pets. In our home, pets are treated like family and given a calm, structured, and loving environment with consistent attention, comfort, and supervision. We maintain a clean, safe space with routines that support each animal’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, rest, and affection tailored to their personality. Because we live in a peaceful, walkable coastal neighborhood near the beach and parks, dogs receive enriching outdoor time and exercise in a safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their established routines to minimize stress and maintain stability. I follow all instructions closely, ensuring feeding, walking, medication, and comfort needs are met exactly as directed. I also provide calm companionship and regular updates so owners feel fully confident and connected while away. My focus is always on emotional safety, physical well-being, and creating a sense of trust and consistency for every animal in my care.

Sung was amazing. He was kind enough to work with my schedule for daycare and when there, my pups seemed to settle in enough to eat on the first day (a very rare occurrence and an indication of feeling safe). I’m so grateful and hope to treat him / his family as the go to solution while my husband and I are in HB.
Goose absolutely loved his time with Janice! She was so friendly and professional. She helped us out so much caring for Goose while we were at Channel Islands NP. It was such a relief knowing that Goose was well cared for! We will definitely pick Janice again when we are in the area again.
Abbey was very kind and sweet. She asked all the necessary questions to understand his personality and had all the essentials to make him comfortable. I felt great leaving my pup with her. She kept me updated and even sent me videos. I will definitely rebook with her and would recommend her.
My goldendoodle had the best time with Sandra and her family! My baby is a very shy guy and he thrived in the care of Sandra. He had so much fun and it was really comforting being updated throughout the day with pictures and videos! Will definitely be booking with Sandra again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Huntington Beach on Rover is $42.18 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 Huntington Beach 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 4,525 sitters in Huntington Beach, 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.
