“Canela had lots of fun at Dominique’s house! I really appreciated the fast replies and Canela being taken to the park to let out some energy. Canela came home and took a long nap so I know she had lots of fun, thanks again to Dominique!”
“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!”
About: Thanks to Rover, I will be hitting my 4 year mark this August 💝 Luckily I can say that I grew up around dogs.. getting to understand their personalities, and their needs. I have always had a soft spot for our furry friends and will do everything in my power to ensure their safe and happy. Please read all info before booking, Thank you. If I have not yet worked with your pet, please request a meet and greet! AROUND MON-SUN 7am-9:30pm! About Me! I have happily been caring for pups full time for 3 & a half years! 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. I am available to book for weekly re-occurring walks everyday of the week! I am always paying attention to body language, wether they want their space or are ready for playtime, always making sure they are hydrated and happy.
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.
“Stacy saved my trip! I came to San Diego to bring my nephew to Legoland, and at the last minute my dog sitter had to cancel. My dog is not especially difficult to care for, per se, but he is old and has a lot of needs or else he gets anxious. Stacy not only stepped in to help on very short notice, but was incredibly kind and gracious about it. She treated my baby like he was her own. I feel very grateful and lucky to have found her and will definitely reach out if I need dog sitting in San Diego again. Thank you Stacy (and Ronnie)! My nephew and I are both very grateful that we got to go enjoy our day without having to worry.”
“Priscilla took very good care of Bella. She kept me constantly updated on how she was doing, was very kind to both of us, and Bella looked very happy in the photos and videos she sent me. I would definitely leave Bella in her care again whenever I need to.”

About: Been a lover of all animals since I was young. My mom had a full zoo growing up. From snakes I let hang out in my lap all day to sugar gliders, guinea pigs, rats, birds and of course DOGS ❤️ I have a 6 month terrir daschund and my last dog was a crazy, yet very lovable 3 year old rescue husky. So I've got your lil love bug if they're a cozy little lap dog to lots of experience with the big hyper high energy guys. Would love to take your fur baby out for a sunshine walk or a fluffy sleepover with me and my Cowboy 🤠 Doesn't hurt that I'm great at doggo photos!!! I currently have an open schedule and reliable transportation! Plenty of time to meet your pets needs. Perfect for those of you leaving out of town or 8+ hour shift workers! Cowboy and I have a small fenced in yard. Take roughly two walks a day. A short one around the neighborhood and a long walk on Imperial Beach. Can accommodate for your little one by bringing them along for the fun or taking them out for their own schedule!
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
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 caring for my own animals as soon as I was big and responsible enough too. I'd say 15-20+yrs. I love meeting new furry friends cause they always remind me about my good soul or spirit. It makes me happy. Cats and dogs gravitate twords all the time. I'd say I do well with teaching how to walk on a leash. I currently take care of my dog and I have 4hens and 1rooster. So it fits right in very well. I'm not working as we speak but I'm looking. I have a rather large front and back yard that raps all the way around the house. I have a small dog her name is Mary Jane. I have two dog kennels if u perfered to keep your dog in a crate.
“Rebecca was so wonderful. She took care of Barkley like he was hers and gave him lots of love and exercise. My family was here on vacation and it was such a relief to know he was being so well taken care of on the days we went to the zoo or Legoland. Thanks a million!!!”
“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.”
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.

“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Imperial Beach on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of September 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 .

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,053 sitters in Imperial Beach, 84% 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.
