“Zoë had such a great time with Sabrina. The communication and pictures during the day helped me to know that my puppy was well-cared for. I would definitely use Sabrina for doggie daycare again!”
“We are always anxious about leaving Waffles with someone so we picked Katherine due to her excellent reviews. She is very responsive, she was available to meet us ahead of time and she is very communicative and detailed. She sent us updates and photos and I can see Waffles had a great time with her. We not only recommend her but will definitely book her more often. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while away from our baby!”
About: I am an experienced dog walker and cat/bird drop-in care. Specialized in emotionally challenged dogs. Very large dogs that pull can be difficult for me to manage. I have availability between 8am and 9pm most days, seven days a week. My availability is uploaded a month in advance. Please book early to guarantee availability. Pet safety is my priority. I am aware of surroundings during walks, particularly for coyotes, and carry pepper spray for extra protection. I also gauge walks based on a dog’s need and capacity.
“Katie is amazing! I sent her a last minute booking request the day of and she was the only sitter to respond to me and I reached out to several! Not only did she respond, she responded right away after I sent the request as well as throughout the entire experience. She has a great home and space for the dogs and she is just so good with them. I felt very comfortable leaving Major with her and she was so great with sending updates. I HIGHLY recommend Katie if you're looking for someone who truly knows how to handle dogs and gives them lots of care and attention. Thank you, Katie!”
“This is Yoshi's first time with Akiko and definitely it won't be the last. Akiko has made it so welcoming and comfortable for Yoshi. We received many updates and videos through out the day and we could clearly see that Yoshi was having fun with the other dogs. Her dog Hunter is so sweet, he seems to be watching the fur babies under his care. Thank you Akiko for taking good care of our Yoshi.”
“Wendy was my dog's first Rover sitter. The experience could not have been any better! He sent updates and photos throughout the day, and took amazing care of my fur baby. I will definitely be asking him again!”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.
“We have a shy puppy named Serena that we are always very confident in leaving with Lisa. She always has lots of friends to play with and it is so nice that Lisa sends us periodic little videos throughout Serena’s stay. Wouldn’t use anyone else.”
About: Hello there! My husband, two kids, and I live in East Long Beach. Feel free to send me a message to see what we can schedule! Thank you for your time! I currently work part-time from home. My kids (ages 6 & 11) love animals too and they help me out with routine, safety, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. We are great at following each pet's routine closely based on the owner's instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, light exercise, and any medications as directed. We make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for during each visit, clean up after meals or play, and provide photos so owners know their pet is doing well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Alamitos
Hands down Michael and Lara are the best daycare and boarding provider I have ever used. Their communication is excellent - messages are responded to promptly - and their care and concern for your pet is evident in the experience they provide. My senior Boxer mix loves playing with their Black Lab, Teddy, and any other pup friends that might be there as well. If you're looking for a safe, stress free experience for daycare or boarding, look no further. They are the real deal and your pup will be in very good hands and will have a great experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
We had a wonderful experience with Lindsay. My puppy is pretty shy and was a bit nervous with her dogs at our first meet and greet. She suggested a half day of doggy care for her to see how it would go, and it was such a good idea. I appreciated the suggestion and the opportunity for my puppy to settle in and feel comfortable before scheduling a longer period of time. Lindsay gave me frequent updates with pictures so I could see how she was doing. It went well, and my puppy was very well cared for. It was a positive experience, and I definitely plan to book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Los Alamitos on Rover is $44.4 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 Los Alamitos 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 8,258 sitters in Los Alamitos, 87% 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.
