I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Jesslyn & Noah are extremely patient and knowledgeable about dogs, and I can’t wait for them to help us with further training. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of dog support. 🐾✨

Very accommodating! I could tell my pup felt so happy, comfy and spoiled at their house! They were also able to keep Dante separate from their own pup. Went above and beyond in small ways. Great photos and took him out for potty again right before it was time for pickup.

Words cannot express my gratitude. Lucas isn't a pet or a companion dog. He is really an extension of me and Albane took great care of him. She even cleaned his eyes and his fur. One way to get to my heart is by caring for Lucas like I would myself and she did just that. Thank you so much!!!

My dog spent a daycare afternoon with Gigi and Steven. Prior to the visit they were very easy to communicate with and happily answered all of my questions. Their yard was secure and Steven took the time to let Mookie warm up to him and their dog. When I picked him up, Mookie was in good spirits and seemed to have a great time! I will definitely book with Gigi and Steven again.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies, respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine, and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and lots of one-on-one attention. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also provide photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I keep a clean, calm environment, closely supervise playtime, and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every stay or visit.

Stephanie is great. She keeps our girl safe and happy. We just did a daycare stay and she was so attentive to our (senior) dog’s needs, helping her through some separation anxiety and the likes. We got two updates and pics of our girl. We’ll be back!

About: I offer dedicated, private boarding in Pasadena with a strict one-family-at-a-time policy. Your dog will receive personalized, high-attention care in a calm home environment, without ever having to compete with pets from multiple unfamiliar households. I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 6 years old. I also spent three years volunteering with the Walk Me Home Rescue group(as a volunteer and foster parent)—walking, socializing, and supporting rescue dogs across a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. What You & Your Pup Can Expect: Attentive Supervision & 1-on-1 Focus: With my flexible schedule, your dog will never be left alone for long and will enjoy continuous attention, companionship, and customized routines. Friendly Playmate or Private Retreat: My sweet 5-year-old Border Collie loves having friends over to play. If your pup prefers quiet solo time, I can easily provide a separate, comfortable resting area alongside private walks and yard time. Secure Backyard Play: Supervised outdoor playtime, fresh air, and safe exercise in our secure yard. Daily Peace of Mind: High-quality daily photo and video updates showing meals, walks, and playtime so you always stay connected. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a social butterfly, or a senior who loves a peaceful routine, I treat every furry guest like my own. Feel free to message me with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pup at a Meet & Greet! I work part-time and am home for the vast majority of the day, giving me plenty of flexible time to give your pet constant attention and supervision. Our household has a fun, active routine: we let the dogs out into our yard every 2 to 3 hours for playtime, fetch, and frisbee. In addition to yard play, I take them on 1 to 2 dedicated neighborhood walks every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your pup will be welcomed into a warm, pet-loving home where they are treated like family. Alongside my own friendly dog, I have a 14-year-old brother, who is passionate about animals and loves keeping pets company with calm companionship and playtime. We prioritize safety and comfort above all. Our home has a secure yard for safe outdoor fun, and pets are never left unattended during activities. Whether your dog thrives on interactive play or prefers a cozy, quiet spot to relax, we tailor our routine to their unique personality and keep you updated with regular photos and message.

About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs. I feel time together and attention is what bonds both humans and dogs, and seeing them go from anxious and confused to a happy member of "the pack" is one of the more rewarding parts of taking care of them, so I prefer stays long or frequent enough for your pup to feel at home with me and in my home, but I'm also always willing to cover a tight spot or step in for a day of daycare. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for the entire day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take only up to three dogs at a time, and mostly for medium to long term boarding, so it's a calm environment without a ton of new dogs coming and going. I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, walks, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. My space is easily partitioned to allow dogs to eat, nap, or hang out alone in peace if that's what they prefer. I have a doggy door for dogs who like to let themselves in/out at their leisure. (it's about 50/50 whether they figure it out and make use of it lol) I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I don't generally use kennels or crates, but if your dog prefers or is used to using one, by all means bring it along. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture. I have found even "reactive" and "solitary" dogs very quickly acclimate to a more social environment (it usually only takes 3-4 hours) and I never leave them together unsupervised until they're demonstrating clear friendliness to each other. Many dog parents bring their pups over just for this kind of socialization, and it's great to watch a dog that "hates all other dogs" running and playing in the yard with the group after snarling at everyone just a few hours before.

Jing was truly amazing with my dogs! From the very first meeting, they were instantly calm around her, which never happens with new people. She has such a gentle, grounding presence, and you can tell she genuinely understands animals. Before the actual sitting, she even took them for a walk at the park to help them get comfortable with her, which I appreciated so much. Throughout the day, Jing kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive to every detail. My dogs absolutely adored her, and I could see how well cared for and relaxed they were when I got home. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful sitter!

Alysha was kind and flexible enough to accommodate my Penelope girl with only a few hours notice. Best of all, Penelope had a fun day. The home was clean and spacious and pet friendly. Alysha is obviously an animal person and I didn’t feel like I had to be checking in all the time because I knew off the bat that Penelope was in good hands. I will definitely use her again for doggy daycare!

Daily field trips that include shaded pack walks, visits to multiple local parks including the Rose Bowl, Jefferson, Lacy, Villa, etc., and pack trail hikes, when weather permits. Dogs are taken out every 2-4 hours for potty breaks, fresh air and to relax in the sunlight. Additionally, dogs have multiple sectioned areas within my house to roam and play. All areas provide dozens of plush toys & interactive toys for their mental stimulation & enjoyment. I train and care for dogs full time which allows me to work from home.

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Angelica was wonderful with my newly adopted dog, Foster. I had her babysit him just two days after I brought him home, and she treated him with so much patience and care. Foster is an emotional support dog for other dogs, and Angelica clearly understood how to make him feel safe and comfortable right away. She gave me detailed, glowing updates the whole time and it was obvious she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Beyond the excellent care, Angelica showed real compassion. I was still grieving the loss of my dog Brownie, and I ended up sharing more of that with her than I expected to. She listened with so much warmth and understanding, and it meant more to me than she probably realizes. Foster was happy and relaxed the whole time, which tells me everything I need to know. Angelica has earned our trust completely, and she's the only sitter I'll be booking for Foster from now on. Highly, highly recommend her.

Kailin was so amazing with my dog Georgia. Georgia is a rescue GSD and she can be very shy and fearful of new scenarios so it can be hard for us to find people she’s comfortable with. The minute we met Kailin, she knew exactly how to handle Georgia as she has a playful dog that helped Georgia feel comfortable. Kailin also made sure to send me texts/videos/photos throughout the day to make me feel more at ease throughout the day. It made me feel so much better leaving Georgia with her because I saw how happy she was playing with her dog Boniu!

Albane was really sweet and understanding to my senior dog as she has one herself nearly the same age and size. Neighborhood is perfect for dog walks and her home is very lovely and welcoming for anyone who want to leave their pet there in good hands. Unfortunately my dog has severe separation anxiety and she just wasn’t appreciating it and I do feel bad Albane and her husband had to go through with her barking for so long. They were however kind and took turns in having her on their lap or sitting outside. Only then did she start to relax. I would definitely have her stay again if her anxiety didn’t make it difficult for those watching. I still recommend to anyone considering.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kinneloa Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kinneloa Mesa on Rover is $37.74 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 8,471 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kinneloa Mesa. 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 Kinneloa Mesa 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 8,471 sitters in Kinneloa Mesa, 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.
