“Yina is the best! We feel really comfortable leaving our pup, Midori, with her. Midori runs right in each time and seems to love spending the day with Yina.”
About: I have taking of dogs for about to years of all kind. I love them. Neighbors have relied on me to take of there dogs. Hi, I work part time and I go to school over the weekdays.so, I’m free to take care of your dogs over the weekend, and during school breaks. I I live by myself in my apartment of a bedroom and a living room and there is a patio that I could walk with your dog or take him for a walk or just play with him. I really love dogs and I really want to have one, but I can’t at the moment because I don’t make that much money to have one.
“Dennis was extremely flexible with a list minute day sitting appointment. Our dog is timid and fairly shy so Dennis was very conscientious about introducing her to the pack slowly. When I picked her up, it was clear she had become fond of Dennis. And when we got home, she passed right out. Thanks so much for taking care of Piki!”
“Charlie has been going to daycare with Monica for a couple weeks now and it’s been going great! She is very easy to communicate with and flexible with schedule. Charlie seems to be happy to spend time with Monica and Bodie.”
“Adriana was amazing with my French bulldog, Kevin. It was clear right away that she genuinely loves dogs. She sent adorable updates and photos, and Kevin looked way too happy to be missing me. Frenchies come with big personalities, and Adriana handled Kevin like a pro. I really appreciated that she only takes on a couple dogs at a time, so each pup gets plenty of individual attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and very well loved dog. I would absolutely book Adriana again and highly recommend her. Kevin definitely got the doting on that he is used to at our home. Trust me, he would tell me if he didn’t. Thank you so much for taking good care of my little Kevi!”
“Absolutely amazing! Communicative, sent a bunch of pics, flexible, and kept our boy happy and cool on an extremely hot day! Not to mention snuck in several small walks to accommodate the heat. Our boy came home happy as can be which is the best way to know he was in wonderful hands :)”
“Megan was SO GREAT!! I booked very last minute and had an unpredictable schedule. She was flexible and communicative. Best of all, she and her family gave our pup so much love and sent us updates. I felt confident leaving Lui in Megan’s care. Thanks so much Megan & fam!!”
“Ashley was great and Toby seemed very happy to be with her. The area around her apartment had nice paths to walk around and I think Tony had a very nice time with his visit to her. He will be back!”
“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”
“Halee was amazing. My dog was happy and tired and well taken care of. Also Halee accommodated my change of plans which was very helpful. I’ll definitely will book again. Thank you, Halee”
“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”
“Kevin was amazing! Not only did he save me in a pinch…but he took great care of Dezi and even sent me pictures and videos! Dezi can’t wait to go back and play with Milo again!”
About: As a Marin County Native, I’m no stranger to the outdoors. Growing up I loved taking my dogs on long hikes, exploring the vast landscape of the Northbay. Professionally, I’ve been pet & house sitting for almost a decade. Primarily catering to a very private & discreet clientele, I am adept at managing long term or short term sittings under strict guidelines & conditions. When caring for dogs, I take them on two, 20 - 30 minute walks, one in the morning & one at night, as well an hour long dog park visit. Each dog is different & requires a specific routine, many of my clients have special requests, that are happily accommodated upon request. When sitting a clients residence, I provide quality care to all pets. Additionally, my policy is to leave the space better than I found it.
“Emily was so accommodating! I had a last minute cancellation in my daily walker and I reached out to her the evening before to see if she could watch my baby and she worked with my schedule! I will absolutely be contacting her every time I need day care or boarding in the future. Thanks so much Emily!”
“Ariane was amazing with my dog, Porkchop! She was super friendly, kept me updated, and made sure he got lots of love and attention. I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Ariane!”
About: Warm dog mom to a 13-year-old dachshund! I provide a structured, fun, and cozy environment with potty breaks every two hours and plenty of walks I'm home full time as I transition to my next job in the Bay Area. I can help with overnight stays, walks and general dog care! In my home, I provide a structured, cozy, and safe environment for pets. I have a small patio with no escape route, ensuring a secure outdoor space. When walking dogs, I’m highly aware of my surroundings to keep them protected at all times. I do not crate my own dog, but I’m happy to do so if that’s your preference. Every pup in my care receives the same love and attention my dog gets, regular potty breaks, and plenty of blankets to make them feel at home!

Megan was fantastic. Great communicator and clearly fantastic with pets because our VELCRO dog was chill on drop off and pick up as well. My schedule can be unpredictable when we need doggie day care so I really appreciate a pet sitter with a little flexibility and a lot of confidence and warmth.
Ashley was great! She was super responsive when I needed a last-minute dog sitter, and I felt confident leaving my puppy with her and her partner. I got lots of updates throughout the day and Greta got 2 walks with her sweet Dachshunds. Will absolutely work with Ashley again - thank you!
Amber was great! She took the trouble to come over for a "meet and greet" with Leo and Bailey the day before her job, which not only established a relationship in advance but gave us a chance to discuss the drill with them in unrushed fashion, ahead of time. Amber has a great chill way with dogs and is a reliable and cheerful person to work with. Would definitely use again.
Krystle was not only great with Leo and Bailey, bonding with them instantly and taking them on a wonderful Sunday afternoon walk, but endlessly patient and flexible with their owner, who kept screwing up, and changing, the requested date and service times. Krystle was lovely to deal with and we would happily engage her again--and again.

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.

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.

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 .
