“Laura was very communicative, sent pics throughout the day and was very accommodating of our schedule. Bumi was tired out from playing with the other dogs and was definitely in good hands! We’ll definitely be coming back.”
“My experience with Thea was absolutely fantastic! She resides on a sprawling multi acre property, which provided the perfect playground for my high-energy dog. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that she has a deep understanding and passion for dogs. Her comforting demeanor instantly put my dog at ease, making him feel right at home! I highly recommend Thea to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog sitter. Her spacious property, combined with her expertise and loving approach, made for an exceptional experience for my dog. We will definitely be returning for future stays!”
“Melissa P. helped me out in a pinch after moving to the area, and it was great. Lots of updates and photos plus one happy puppy who was ready for a nap when he was picked up. Will absolutely be using again.”
About: I would love to take care of your dog or cat for you. I work from home so I'm able to spend lots of time with them. I had 2 dogs and 2 cats in the past, one of my dogs I had for 14 years. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Excited to meet your little buddy! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can spend lots of time with your pet. Available all week including weekends and overnight stays. I let the animals roam the house, offer lots of petting and cuddles and can take dogs for several walks a day. Feel free to provide any special care instructions.
“Brian has been great. He makes it easy to drop off & pick up. He keeps us updated during each of Brinley’s stays, by sending pictures, videos, and texts on how our fur puppy dog is doing.”
“I would 100% recommend Areli to care for your fur baby! It was my first time leaving my boy and she went above and beyond to update me with photos and keep me informed. I will for certain be rebooking with Areli !!”
“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”
About: Experienced sitter providing loving care, senior support, medication administration, and puppy training basics. I treat every pet like my own with patience, attention and love. Pet care fits around my college class schedule. I’m a student during the week, with most availability on Fridays through Sundays for consistent, reliable care. Open to discussing my weekday availability if needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines closely in the client’s home to keep them comfortable and stress free. I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure while the owner is away. I prioritize patience, safety, and treating every pet like my own.
“Kyle did great with our puppy Joss. Super responsive and sent lots of photos during his visit. Joss was also happy to go back to Kyles house and came home tired like he had an active time with Kyle. Will definitely use again in the future”
“Susana was very welcoming and accommodating with our schedule. We were kept up to date with our pups activities with photos and massages. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her visit. We are happy to have found Susana and hope our pup can visit with her in the future. Thank you Susana!”
“Maria and Michael were fantastic with our Cho-Cho. They made sure she felt as welcomed and comfortable as she could be, and that we were constantly updated with pictures and videos of her activities throughout her stay. Even their two fur babies, Luna and Abby, were also welcoming of Cho. Thank you so much!”
“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved is always a priority. Making sure they can’t get into anything harmful. I make sure they’re leashed every walk and that nothing harms the pet whatsoever. They’re in good hands.
“This was our first experience with home boarding. Our dog Kisses stayed for they day just to see how everything would work. Nicole sent a photo of her and let us know she was doing well. We were happy with her communication. We would use Nicole again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs. The past 10+ years I have cared for other peoples dogs. I understand how uneasy people feel about leaving their pooch in a Kennel, simply because their dog is their world and they would rather have their dog have home comforts whilst you are apart. Married but we have no children so am able to offer a calm environment for those dogs that are mature or nervous of bangs and loud noises. Likewise I have the time and energy for those dogs that need a little more play time. I have a neutered schnoodle that is mature enough to chill but also enjoys a play. I work part time from home. So I am able to offer your pooch a lot of time and love, be it walks or just company. I have an enclosed, secure garden, mainly walled with gated access which is locked. It is completely private. It is not a large garden, but it certainly offers a dog enough space to stretch their legs, chase a ball or just chill on the patio.
About: We have had our cat for over 6 years and she is the most important thing in our lives. We know what it is like to travel and have the peace of mind that someone is caring your pet just like you would! Happy to keep you updated with photos and updates as well so you know your pet is happy and safe! We currently work at home Monday thru Friday from 9am to 6pm. Your pet will be looked after constantly and given lots of attention daily. Your pet will have her/his own room which is a nice quiet and safe space. Making your pet feels safe and comfortable will be our priority.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for 33 years. Including but not limited to walking, feeding, hygiene care and administrating multiple medicines. Familiar with seizures as well. I have pets of my own so tending to animals is a routine to me and my children for a daily routine. We have cats and a small dog. Our cats and dog are mainly inside animals. With my dog going outside to the gated backyard whenever she wants. We also have a gated pool so the animals will remain safe.
“My baby Makana had a great time at JJ’s house.. Though we didn’t see the host’s interior of the house where the pets are, the pictures she had sent looked clean and safe.. It’s Makana’s first time to socialize with 2 dogs since she turned 2 yrs old due to some health issues when she’s a pup. We thought it’s time for her to explore and find out if she is well adjusted now that she’s an adult.She is as expected to be a little shy but was able to adapt and became comfortable. She is tired and pretty happy bec she had a play date with Zuri ( the host’s furbaby) and another furbaby. I’m glad that JJ has been sending pic and videos of our baby’s socialization activities and so nice of their son to play with the FBabies.. Thank you and will definitely recommend her services.”
“Tina is an absolute gem. I left my little Ruby in Tina's care for a few hours to ensure Millie and Ruby got along well enough for a much longer stay coming up soon. It could not have gone better! I am so glad I chose Tina, she met and exceeded all of my expectations.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Hughes on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Lake Hughes 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.

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.
