About: I have 8+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”
“Sierra was great with my dog. Took her on a last minute booking and was super flexible. My dog can be anxious with new settings and she immediately connected with sierra and settled right in at the little dog haven they have created.”
“Kayla took wonderful care of our golden retriever, Willow, for the day. Willow immediately became part of the family, enjoying playtime with Kayla’s golden retriever and her kids. When we picked her up, she looked like she had spent the day at a spa—happy, relaxed, and beautifully cared for. It was obvious she felt completely at home and honestly seemed like she didn’t want to leave! We had total peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kayla and her family are amazing Rover hosts, and we highly recommend them.”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“Jason and Rachel took amazing care of my young pup, Miles! He seemed to enjoy playing with their dog Marshall a lot! They sent updates with how he was doing and made sure he was getting enough exercise and attention. He always came back home tired and was so excited to go back the next day. Highly recommend them for doggy day care!”
About: I currently have been watching one dog for over a year for walks and cuddling. Very open to taking your dog for a walk or visiting your home several times a day if you’re more comfortable with that. I’m currently retired and love taking dogs for walks or just going over to your home and cuddling and feeding your dog. Will be happy to walk your dog play with your dog or pick up or deliver your dog back to your home. My home is a two-story home with a gated backyard. The dogs are allowed inside the home and outside the home will walk your dog feed your dog water, your dog, and whatever their needs are.
“Holly was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She gave them individual attention all day long with several updates and photos throughout the day. Our dogs didn’t even care when we dropped them off, which is unusual since they are clingy to us. The vibes were great! Thank you Holly!!”
“Thank you, Claudia! Claudia was great with our last minute request to help care for our puppy and adult dog. She was fast to respond and kept us informed. We would enjoy having her watch our dogs again!”
“Rachel has been fantastic with my Lily! I always worry about her, but I know she's in great hands with Rachel. I particularly appreciate the photos and videos I get while away! It makes a big difference. Thank you Rachel!”
About: I have had pets for most of my life. My family and I currently have one very playful dog, two cats and a bearded dragon. I, along with my family, have cared for family, friends and neighbors pets for several years now. I work from home, usually only leaving during the day for a few minutes in the afternoon for school pickups (most days I take my dog with me) or the occasional quick errand. I take breaks throughout the day for indoor and outdoor pet play time and daily walks. While I am usually home, if I need to be away for a time there is almost always at least one family member home. When working, my office door is always open. I have a fenced yard for outdoor play time and potty breaks and plenty of sidewalks, trails and parks near my home for daily walks and places to explore.
“Erica and Felipe did an amazing job taking care of my pup for the day! They updated me throughout the day and sent pictures. Riley had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave when I picked him up! Thanks so much for taking care of my “cuddle monster” he had a blast!!”
“Renae takes great care of our puppy and she has a great time with her friends while she is there. Came home and napped, mission accomplished! Renae is super accommodating and very responsive to any communications. Lola has a home away from home when needed.”
“Linda exceeded our expectations and took pictures of Sailer through out the day— thoroughly appreciated! I had never left Sailer with anyone outside our family. I would recommend and use again the next time I am in the area. Thank you for a great experience and for being available on Rover!”
“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”
“Tiffany is the best! My two rescues had such a great time with her on the first day of doggy day care, and each time we return, they're excited as soon as I drive up. Tiffany has a very gentle calm way with the dogs, which I appreciate because both of my dogs have been abused and startle easily. Tiffany is absolutely the best!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Lilac is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $32 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 2,898 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lilac. 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 Lilac 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 2,898 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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
