“A big thanks for another fun day! My husband and I really appreciate Semran’s attention to detail and TLC for Manny. And we wanted to add an extra star for last week’s care!⭐️ Thank you!”
“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”
“Love the updates throughout the day and especially the pictures of our pups having so much fun! We have peace of mind our dogs are safe while we’re at work all day. Thank you!”
“Vanessa was able to do a meet and greet with my pup before the daycare visit, which I appreciated! She was quick with communicating with me leading up to drop off. My pup came home tired which is exactly what I needed!”
“Our dog Ziggy loves going to Josh's! Josh has a perfect outdoor and indoor set up and gives Zig lots of attention and love while he's there. Ziggy always comes back super happy.”
“Kaitlin and Verle are great, they’re very nice and communicative. My puppy enjoyed his day there and you can tell they care about giving your dog the best day possible with them. I’d recommend them!”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
About: Hi, I’m Nathalia! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud dog mom to two wonderful dogs of my own, I know how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I aim to adore and care for your pet as much as you do! Caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently have a wide open schedule and available Monday through Sundays for boarding for daycare. I have a home that is fully pet proof (secure cabinets, secure trash can, and fenced yard). I can crate your dog if needed as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Not only did I grown up with pets, I also have a lot of pet sitting experience, both in my own residence and others. I’m currently working from home, that leaves me with a lot of time to play with your furry campion. In addition to having a flexible schedule, it would be nice to have something to get me away from my desk. I live in a very walkable neighborhood.My condo has an open floor plan and I have a grassed patio. I’d also be able to crate if necessary.
“Jacob was very accommodating and quick to answer any of my questions. Very easy Going and has a nice house to accommodate my golden retriever. Highly recommended services. He is kind, professional and flexible.”
“Adrian was amazing! She was super flexible with my changing plans. I love that she gave a full update at the end of the stay so I knew he was in good hands! Totally recommend:)”
About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
“Courtney was fantastic! We needed a last minute sitter to watch our Apollo for a few hours. She was super communicative and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our Apollo. He had so much fun with her and Poppy and instantly fell asleep when he got home. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Stacy was great! She was able to take care of Emmett on a pretty short notice. She was extremely accommodating and took so many pictures of him. I think that this has been our first overall positive experience with a rover sitter. Emmett came back happy, healthy, and well fed. He had a lot of fun and was able to get a lot of fresh air.”

I had a last minute need for someone to watch and board my dog-reactive German Shepherd for a few hours while I had cleaners coming to clean my house this sitter was great, extremely communicative, arrived on time and took good care of my animal and I would definitely use their services again.
Cannot say enough good things about Adrian and my pup's day over there! So very kind and friendly (as were their dogs!!), which put this first-time client instantly at ease when leaving my baby. In the evening I got back a thoroughly happy, worn-out boy, who fell asleep 10 minutes into the drive home, with a completely contented look on his face. If I were local I'd come back many times over. I would recommend Adrian to anyone who needs a petsitter!
Cristina was amazing!! She was very kind, welcoming and detailed in caring for our three girls and making sure they were comfortable and safe in her home/property. She provided updates throughout the stay and made us feel peace of mind they were in good care. Will definitely use Cristina again for future daycare needs.
We have boarded our Snoopy with Emily before and this time it was for a daycare. Emily kept us up to date with Snoopys day. She's very easy to work with and is very flexible with dropoff and pickup time, which we greatly appreciate. We can enjoy our time knowing Snoopy is in good hands.
Kyra was absolutely amazing while watching my dog for a full week. From start to finish, her communication was top-tier—she kept me consistently updated and always made me feel at ease while I was away. She sent frequent pictures and detailed updates, which really reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. We joked and laughed at Banroll goofiness which made my experience with her even better. You can tell Kyra genuinely cares about the animals she watches. My dog looked relaxed, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed being with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet for that long, but Kyra made the entire experience stress-free. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring. She truly goes above and beyond!
Couldn’t have asked for a better place to leave my dogs for the day. Neither of them had been to “daycare” before and it made all the difference to have such a well maintained, open space to explore and relax in. They were immediately excited to explore and didn’t even notice that I left. Dawn is so clearly calm and competent, I didn’t worry at all while I was gone. One of my dogs wanted to be in the house and spent a lot of time sleeping on her bed, and Dawn was kind enough to let her hang out there. The best sign they were happy and comfortable: one dog has separation anxiety, and when I came to pick them up, she was excited to greet me, but then immediately turned around and went back into the yard, explored more, then asked to be let into the house. I don’t live in the area but will definitely book again if I’m back.
Thea was super friendly and very welcoming to us but with Kyro and that made me extremely happy and i felt more at ease. We just recently moved to SD and using Rover as well. She made the experience wonderful. Kyro had a blast with the other dogs and i’m pretty sure he was super satisfied as well ☺️
Letitia was great to work with! She has a nice setup for watching pets both durning rain and without rain. One of the reasons we chose to have Letitia watch the dogs was because she was the only one that suggested a meet and greet before committing to watch our dogs. Very professional and nice arrangement for the dogs!

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 Lemon Grove 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.

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.
