“Lillie was great and I would highly recommend her. She watch my two puppies (3 months and 4 months old) and they had a blast! She worked on potty training and was great with them. She also was available on short noticed and was super easy to coordinate and communicate with. I am grateful to have found her!”

“Steven hosted my dog over for doggy day care when I received a last minute cancellation from another sitter. All worked out great. Steven had prompt communication, understood dog behavior and needs, followed through on my requests on how to care for my dog. Perfect experience, highly recommend! My dog will be back!”
About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly. I know several local dog parks and dog-friendly trails since I’ve been a dog owner myself for years (I no longer have a dog as of early 2025). I have a fenced front and backyard. I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).
“Ivy is so kind and great with my 2 dogs. I was able to have a great time exploring SF while knowing my dogs were in good hands. I got lots of photo updates on how they were doing. And Ivy was very easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule. I strongly recommend her, extra bonus, she has an easy spot to pull the car over to drop the dogs off. Would 100% book with her again if we come back to SF.”
“Halee was very welcoming and kind towards Teddy. He had a couple of long walks during his visit with her, which he loves to do. He was well-cared for and we appreciated her support”
“Lei is great!!!! Her and her family are extremely friendly, warm, and accommodating. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with her. The location is lovely; a perfect place for dog walks. Can't wait to use her again!!!”
“We entrusted our 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Daisy, to Susannah’s care, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Daisy has special needs, but Susannah’s calm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put her at ease. Daisy was well cared for and seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Being able to leave her in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our day out without any worries. We highly recommend Susannah for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Kellie and Nate are so welcoming and have a beautiful dog-friendly home and awesome backyard. Their relaxed energy made me feel so comfortable to have them care for our 6-month old extra large breed Great Pyrenees/Siberian Husky puppy that we adopted just 3 weeks ago for a day while I had a job interview. I highly recommend Kellie and Nate!”
“Just visiting the area and super grateful to have found Jestina so I could attend an event. She loved my energetic boxer mix as if she were her own. I appreciated the updates, pix and video, and also the warm interest she took in my own life too! (Sometimes the dogs get all the attention!) Highly recommend and will use again when in town! Thank you, Jestina!”
“Another great day with Dustin! Love to see the photos of our dog having the best time playing with other pups in Dustin's yard. Really appreciate the extra care Dustin puts in to make sure every pup who visits him has a fun, safe, and happy time!”
“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”
“We found ourselves in a predicament upon arriving to San Francisco for a wedding. We thought we had a place for our dog throughout the weekend festivities but due to an illness at that location, we could not take our dog there. I found Sam on Rover.com and she was FANTASTIC. She was very accommodating, and easy to work with. I wasn’t sure exactly what our schedule was going to be but she had no problem helping me cover our dogs needs. Our dog is also blind and she was incredible caring for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam for any pet needs.”
“Mikele did a great job with my senior dog Sandy. She was kind, communicative, and took lots of pictures. This was my dog’s first time doing doggy daycare. Mikele provided wonderful care and answered all of my questions.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,348 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lagunitas-Forest Knolls. 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 Lagunitas-Forest Knolls 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 3,348 sitters in Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, 86% 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.
