“Ulunma and her husband are fantastic, so nice flexible and my Beauregard loves coming for visits. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them. Beauregard loves visiting, and is super happy every time I drop him off!!”

“Monica went above and beyond to give Angel a wonderful stay. She has a lovely home and she sent me videos to reassure me of Angel's well being. Angel returned home in a relaxed and happy state.”

“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!”

About: Hi everyone! 🐾 We’re Saori and Nyle, a dog-loving couple excited to welcome your little one into our home! We’ve had our Rover profile since our college days, when we used to Rover much more frequently. Now that we’ve moved into a house with a fully fenced backyard and Nyle works from home full-time, we’re excited to get back into Rover and open our home to some new furry friends! Meet our little family 🐶 We’re proud parents to Shiro, our sweet 11-year-old, and Noni, our playful 5-year-old. Both are extremely friendly and love meeting and spending time with other small dogs! Having dogs of our own for years has taught us just how important it is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved. A safe, dog-friendly home 🏡 Our home is dog-proofed and designed with our four-legged family members in mind. We have a fully fenced backyard with two additional gates to restrict access to the side yard, giving us extra flexibility when keeping everyone safe. Our yard features turf and outdoor dog toys, including agility-style toys, so pups can enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and room to explore. Whether your pup wants to run around outside, play with a new friend, or curl up for a cozy afternoon nap, we want them to feel right at home! Lots of company and attention ❤️ One of the best parts about staying with us is that your pup won’t be spending the day alone! Nyle works from home full-time and is around throughout the day to provide company, supervision, and plenty of attention. I typically get home around 3–4 PM, work from home one or two days a week, and am home full-time on Saturdays and Sundays. Between the two of us, we can offer a home environment with lots of companionship, playtime, and affection throughout your pup’s stay. Our boarding and sitting preferences 🐾 At this time, we’re focusing exclusively on dog sitting and boarding for small dogs weighing 0–25 pounds. Since we have two resident dogs of our own, we want to make sure every guest is a comfortable fit for our home and that everyone gets along well. We know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. We’ll do our best to make their stay feel like a little vacation, filled with love, attention, and cozy moments. We can’t wait to meet you and your pup and welcome them into our home! Best wishes, Saori & Nyle 🐾 Pet care is already a natural part of our everyday lives, so welcoming your pup into our routine feels like a natural fit! Nyle works from home full-time, and I work from home one or two days a week and am home all day on Saturdays and Sundays. On the days I commute, I’m typically home around 3–4 PM. Between the two of us, someone is always home, so your pup will have consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. As dog parents to Shiro and Noni, we understand that your dog is family, and leaving them in someone else’s care takes trust. We have years of hands-on experience caring for our own dogs, as well as fostering dogs during our college days. Those experiences have taught us the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for dogs is truly second nature to us. We’re used to building our days around their needs, from playtime and outdoor breaks to cuddles and quiet time. Our goal is to give your pup a loving, home-like environment where they feel comfortable, get plenty of attention, and are cared for as if they were one of our own. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities! Our home is dog-proofed and designed to be a comfortable, welcoming space for our own dogs and our furry guests. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and we make sure every pup gets plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, especially our senior dog, Shiro, who reminds us how important it is to be attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Inside, our home has plenty of carpet and rugs for comfortable footing, minimal sharp-edged furniture, and pet stairs to help little legs get up and down more easily. We want every dog to feel comfortable moving around our home, whether they’re playing, exploring, or settling in for a nap. And when it’s time to relax, pets are always welcome on the furniture! We want your pup to feel at home, receive lots of love and attention, and enjoy a safe, cozy environment while you’re away.
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 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.
“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!”


“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.”


“Yen was a fantastic dog day care sitter for our pup, Noodles. She was super responsive, shared lots of updates (both photos and videos), and overall our pup had a fantastic time.”

“Our pup had another great visit with Darren and his family! She is happy and comfortable during drop off and pick up. She loves to play with their dog and they take her on walks. We are grateful for Darren M and his family doggie daycare.”

“Michele was great! My dog stayed with her for daycare. He was comfortable and happy. She sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I appreciated. Michele and her husband are long time pet parents so they have a high level of knowledge and experience. Their home is dog safe and their yard is secured. 5 stars.”

“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”

“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”

“I had a great experience with Korin! I left Maru with her for a few hours while we went out for a late dinner. Our dinner ran a little longer than expected, but she was so understanding and patient. We really appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Would definitely book with them again! ❤️”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for friends’ and family’s dogs since I was in high school! I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and matching their energy to give them the best care possible! I’m currently a post grad looking for a part time job! Therefore my schedule is open for now, which gives me plenty of time to look after your dogs for longer periods of time, if needed! I’m overly cautious! When it comes to someone else’s fur babies I want to make sure that they’re properly taken care of and also having fun at the same time! I’m someone who likes to send photos and or update to the owners (if they wanted of course) to follow up with how they’re doing!
“Alison was so incredible in all aspects of our trip! A quick response from her allowed us to make plans on a whim and we were able to drop Blue off while exploring the area. Her house and yard is the perfect setup for all animals, especially dogs. I really appreciated the sweet videos and texts I got from her during Blue's stay. I could tell Blue had a great time, and we will definitely reach out to Alison again the next time we want to go to wine country!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Lafayette is $40 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $67 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,018 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,018 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
