About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I have 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.
“So amazing and followed all the instructions I provided for my 8-week puppy. I was constantly sent updates as well. Definitely recommend and will be booking if I need in the future!”

Before making my hobby a career, I was caring for family friends pups through out high school. It is my favorite thing in the world to create strong bonds with pups as if they are my own. I am all about matching your fur child’s energy. I observe their body language closely to better understand their wants and needs.. if your baby isn’t as affectionate as others, I do not go and invade their space. I wait at a distance until they are ready to start our interaction. Schedule - I book walks & drop ins based around sittings! I sleep in owners homes regularly. I am booked in advance for these services as well. Sitting info! - while you are out of town, your babies are alone while I head out for other walks for no more than 2-4 hours at most. No matter what day of the week it is. All of my time is mainly dedicated to your child(ren) your baby will be walked if you’d like every 3 hours for however long you prefer! I’m happy to take pups to the Coronado Cays for on leash walks (25+ fee) If you go there as well! Additional info about services - I charge a $10 per day fee for overnights over 15 miles out of imperial beach Cancellations - all cancellations must be submitted into Rover I send out dates I am unavailable 3-6 months in advance.

About: My wife and I have had dogs our whole lives. We recently lost both our beautiful pups to old age and still have so much love to give so we decided to make ourselves available to care for your beloved doggies while you're out of town. We both work from home and have a fenced yard for your pup to play and sunbathe in! We can’t wait to meet your furry ray of sunshine! We both work from home and are there all day. Sometimes one of us will go to the gym for an hour or run an errand but usually the other is still at home so rest assured that your pup will have company for the majority of the day. We live in a house with a fenced back yard with ample frolicking and sunbathing space and a quiet neighborhood great for walks and exploring.
About: Hello everyone! Nice to meet you! My name is Briana and I’m originally from San Diego. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for many dogs and have owned three. I currently have one dog, Duke. He is the greatest companion and has so much love to give! He’s super friendly with other dogs and such a silly pup. If given the chance to care for your dog, I would treat them as if they were my own. There is no greater joy than having a dog around to love and play with and I would be honored to care for your dogs whenever needed. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to care for your pup on such short notice but I am more than willing to work with your schedule! I’m currently working full-time but have the ability to work remotely. I’m fully available throughout the week, weekends, and holidays. I’m very open to creating a schedule that you are comfortable with. I live near the silver strand trail and regularly take my dog out for long walks. My pup loves to sleep together and loves to cuddle.
“Stacy always takes amazing care of our French Bulldog, Koa. He always comes home tired but so happy after spending time with her Auntie Stacy! We literally have to drag him out of her backyard because he never wants to leave. He’s always having way too much fun. It’s such a great feeling knowing he’s happy, well cared for, and excited to see her every time. We highly recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“Priscilla was amazing! Ollie had a great time and it was good knowing he was well taken care in their home. Def recommend! They have ample amount of space in their backyard for zoomies!”

“Kenia was awesome! I needed dog sitting for a few hours while out of town. She communicated quickly, which I appreciate. When we showed up, she greeted my dog so warmly that I knew he would be in good hands. We would definitely go back to her if in the area.”

“John is the best dog sitter I've had! He is reliable, and you can tell how much he loves dogs. My puppy, Lincoln, loves spending time with John! Lincoln gets so excited whenever I drop him off at John's before work. I fully trust that Lincoln is taken care of and getting lots of love and exercise during my long work days. I wouldn't want anyone else watching Lincoln!”


About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.
About: I have had my own dogs as a kid and have been the go-to friend in my network for pet care while working remotely. These days I am in between jobs so I have plenty of time during the day to take your pet for walks or to the park. I recently drove my friend's sweet dog from San Diego to Philadelphia and we had quite an adventure stopping at many dog-friendly landmarks along the way! It was a blast! I typically cover pet sitting for pet parents who prefer that I stay in their homes while they are away, but I also have availability for daily or weekly drop-ins, walks, park or beach time, and other excursions. I have some experience driving dogs and cats across the country as well as extensive experience traveling to different states to care for pets for weeks or months at a time. While I live in San Diego, I've traveled to New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Colorado to care for several sweet dogs and cats. I seek to understand what you and your pet needs and do my best to provide a continuity of care and comfort while you are away. Once I know what your pet needs and is accustomed to, I ensure their routines are adhered to as closely as possible until you can return.
About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home part time. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I walk my dog four times per day. Two of these four times per day are longer walks in the neighborhood or to the park. I keep dogs on the leash at all time when we are outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can be outside and lay in the sun, and can’t escape. They also have access to water and food as required by the owner. My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs. I have a cat who is friendly but does not want to do much with other dogs. He mostly stays away.
“Becca took great care of Ollie. She picked him up and dropped him off since we were out of town. It was his first time being away from an unfamiliar place. She assured us he was doing great and gave lots of videos and pictures along the way. Would highly recommend & will definitely be back :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial Beach
Priscilla is a fantastic dog sitter. Our pup loved spending time with her over the weekend and was visibly excited to see her again. She was also very flexible to pet sit in two different locations and stayed later upon last minute unplanned request. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

We love how much Daisy & Rico love and care for our Waffles. Waffles loves it when he gets to spend time with them whenever we need to head somewhere for a day/weekend where we can't take him. We know he's always in good and loving hands when we book with Daisy! Thank you for being such an amazing family to our fur baby!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Imperial Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Imperial Beach on Rover is $54.39 per day (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 3,051 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Imperial Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Imperial 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.

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.
