“We had a great experience with Stefanie! She was extremely professional, responsive, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Arashi, can be a challenging breed, but she handled him with ease and confidence, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her home is very well set up for dog care, whether for daytime stays or overnight boarding. Everything felt safe, organized, and thoughtful. We really appreciated her communication throughout and would absolutely trust her with Arashi again. Highly recommend!”

“Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and capabilities. I pay close attention to detail when it comes to medication, dietary restrictions, and feeding/walking times. I grew up with cousins who had many cats and dogs over the years, so I love spending time with animals! I work remotely, so I have lots of flexibility during the day to play, walk, and care for any needs your pet may have. For walks, my calendar availability reflects the dates and times I'm available. In their home, I care for clients' pets as they've instructed me to. I feed, walk, and administer medications at the times directed and text clients if anything comes up or if I have questions. I will spend lots of time playing with them as well!

“Lisa and Cameron were absolutely wonderful with Poe! We needed someone to watch him for a few hours over three consecutive days while we had construction happening at our house and my husband and I had unusual work schedules, and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the whole thing. Poe clearly had the best time staying with them: playing in their backyard, going on walks, and spending time with their family and kids. We have a baby on the way, so it was especially nice knowing he was getting some positive time around younger kids, and Lisa and Cameron said he did great with them. They also sent us adorable photos and videos every day, which we loved. Poe came home happy, tired, and ready for a very good sleep after getting so much attention and exercise! This was our first time having Lisa and Cameron watch Poe, but we would absolutely book with them again. They are such warm, friendly people and clearly great with dogs. We felt completely comfortable leaving Poe with them and highly recommend them!”

About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.

About: I raised my own dog from the time he was just 2 months old for about seven years, so I have firsthand experience caring for a dog through puppyhood and adulthood. When I moved to the U.S., I had to say goodbye to him, but my love for dogs has always stayed with me. Through those years, I became very familiar with the daily responsibilities of dog care, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty routines, bathing, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and comfort zone. I’m patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions and keeping their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll keep you updated and send photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available Monday through Friday, generally from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and my schedule is fairly flexible. Saturday availability may also be possible depending on the week. I have a school pickup around 3:00 PM, and my 6-year-old is home with me afterward. For boarding and daycare, I’m therefore best suited for dogs who are comfortable and gentle around children. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and adjust walks, meals, potty breaks, and playtime as needed. I take safety and consistency seriously and always follow each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. In my home, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given a routine that feels familiar to them. I’m careful with doors, entrances, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect their safety. Since I have a 6-year-old child at home, I only accept dogs for boarding or daycare who are comfortable and safe around children. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow the pet’s established routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications if needed, and any house-specific instructions. I also make sure doors and entry points are secure before I leave.

About: I have a wide range of experience with pets, ranging from the basic dogs and cats to hedgehogs, turtles and hamsters. I love them all and will care for them as if they were my own. I’m a stay at home mom who enjoys helping folks in my community care for their pets while they are away. I understand how comforting it is to have someone you can trust to take diligent care of your pet while you are gone. I will take the time to make it ‘life as normal’ for your pet while you are away. Not just rushing to get through the home check in, but giving them quality time, attention and care.

“Great first dog sitting day for Zoe (pittie) at Michael’s. I was worried about Zoe and Michael’s dog (Delilah) getting along (Zoe is a follower who always wants to play and Delilah is an older dog), but Michael was able to allay my concerns and it appeared that D and Z did well together. Will update the review after my next dog sitting day at Michael’s this week!”

About: Hello! My name is Andrielle I’m a very experienced dog walker that you may see around Anywhere from Lafayette/Walnut Creek to Alameda out and about with one of my furry friends! I know the fundamentals of taking care of dogs and walking them professionally, while my philosophy is based on trust and respect (to dogs and their owners!) I currently have openings in my schedule to add more dogs into my day and am happy to work with you to find the right times that fit your needs! I have a car so I can come to you wherever you and your fur live! What I do normally is walk the dogs in your neighborhood, but if trail hiking is something you’re interested in for your buddy than that is also a possibility! I work with dogs young and old, so if your dog has energy we run, if your dog needs to take their time we go slow and enjoy the scenery. Anyways I like to think...dogs are born to run...and I’m ready to walk them! Thanks! I am able to give your fur baby my full attention because I am a full time dog walker. Other than being a dog walker I'm working on my real estate career in the side. Most importantly I am mother of two little ones that grew up loving dogs as much as their mama. I'm a passionate animal lover and am caring and know how important it is to take care of those you love so I will always be there when you and your fur baby need me. I no longer have pets in our home that's why I love taking care of your pets because I love animals! I follow instructions carefully to make sure that your little fur loves get everything they need!

About: I’ve been working with animals since my teenage years, including 2 years at a pet store and assisting at multiple dog expos starting at age 16. I’ve owned and raised dogs throughout my life—one lived to 17 years old, and I currently have a 3-year-old friendly miniature poodle. I personally house-trained both of my dogs and have strong hands-on experience with daily care routines, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming (for cooperative dogs), and light grooming such as basic haircuts. I’m comfortable managing a structured, calm environment and have experience caring for multiple pets at home, including my two outdoor cats. Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. We are a family of six, and I am home 24/7, so dogs will never be left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule that allows for regular walks, supervised outdoor time, and attention throughout the day. My large gated property makes it easy to provide safe exercise, and we structure the day to keep dogs calm, engaged, and well cared for. Dogs in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, structured environment with 24/7 supervision, so your pet is never left alone for long periods. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time on our large, fully gated property, as well as long walks in our safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. Safety is our priority—we introduce dogs carefully, feed separately when needed, and adjust supervision and leash use based on each dog’s personality. Our friendly miniature poodle helps create a welcoming environment.

Patrick and Journey had the BEST time at Barbara’s. They got to roam all over their house and yard and were spoiled with cuddles and naps. Barbara and her family are clearly dog lovers, and even sent a ton of updates to let me know what they were up to. I highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Bella had a great time at Dante’s house! She got to spend the day both outdoors and indoors with the very friendly and playful Posey. They spent the day watching squirrels, playing with toys, engaged in chase, and snoozing after all of that. Thank you!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lafayette

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lafayette on Rover is $39.96 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 5,069 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lafayette. 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 Lafayette 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 5,069 sitters in Lafayette, 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.
