“Great service from Michael! Potter had a good time with Chloe and some other pet friends! Michael took well take care of him today and took him for a walk. Michael made sure he had a good time and that he had some fun with his friends. I will definitely use his services again ☺️😉😁”
“Ru did a wonderful job watching Augie! Ru was communicative, asked appropriate questions, and sent plenty of fun photos of Augie. Augie had so much fun with her new friend Kero, too! Would definitely book Ru again for daycare!”
“Fariba is super responsive, flexible, and such a sweet heart! I can tell she has deep understanding and love for dogs. She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet before booking; my pup instantly liked her. When I picked up my pup, I could tell she had a day filled with lots of fun and love(she was tired which is great!). I love how engaged she is with every dog and will definitely be booking my pup with her in the future!”
“Jennifer was great at communicating and our dog, Meeko, seemed to have a great time spending the day with her. Meeko has separation distress and is generally anxious especially in new environments. Jessica took him for walks, several potty breaks, to the local park and even to a restaurant! He seemed calm and not stressed when we picked him up. We liked that he was exposed to new environments at his pace and that we received updates throughout the day.”
“Recently moved, and our dog unexpectedly showed severe separation anxiety. The first person we worked with was unable to keep Gunner calm, but Rodrigo was a dog whisperer, helping him calm and acclimate to the area. Which helped calm and let me acclimate. Absolutely would recommend, absolutely will use again.”
“We were so nervous about leaving our dog at doggie day care with someone we hadn't met. However, Tillana really took the time to know our dog and took a deep interest in her unique needs and personality! She keep us updated with many pictures, and our dog had the best time! Tillana was very flexible with pick up and drop off too (although if you need an early morning time this seems to be harder). We will definitely be back!”
“Chiristina was very kind, accommodating and caring! Zoey doesn’t stay at daycare usually, but Christina was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable very quickly. She also shared some amazing photos thought out the day and even managed to make her get lot of cute poses :D Highly recommend!!”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”

Sabrina has been a wonderful sitter for our dog Willow and we would recommend her to anyone. She is punctual for drop off and pickup but flexible when needed. She is willing to go on long walks and is able to feed Willow which always results in very happy dog. She is perceptive and allows the day to go at Willow’s pace. Sabrina is also such a friendly and thoughtful person and we know Willow is in great hands with her every day!
Michael was wonderful with Zoey. He was easy to communicate and coordinate with from the start, and he took the time during our meet and greet to answer all of our questions, show us where the dogs spend their day, and walk us through his routine. Since Zoey is 7 and has had the same regular sitters for years, we were a little nervous about leaving her with someone new, but Michael quickly made us feel comfortable and confident that she would be in great hands. Throughout her daycare stays, Michael sent photos and updates during the day, and Zoey always came home happy and pleasantly tired. The best endorsement was Zoey herself—on a later walk, she was actually pulling us toward Michael’s house! We also had a technical issue with Rover fees, and Michael was very responsive, even over the weekend, and helped get it resolved promptly. We’re very happy we found him and look forward to having Zoey stay with Michael again in the future.
I knew my dog would have a good day from the moment I dropped her off. This was also the first time she came back not over weight. I appreciate that Yun & Lina were able to entertain her without using all her treats. And I got a mid-day update that helps me know that my pup was having a good day.
From the moment we had our meet and greet, we knew John would be amazing with our dogs! He is one of the sweetest people we have met and took amazing care of Rusty and Ruby throughout the day! John communicates really fast and well l, and sends lots of photos throughout their stay :D we know Rusty and Ruby will be looking forward to their next stay with John!!
Christina is a gem! And comes off immediately as intelligent, warm, kind, and fun. We are so happy to have found her on Rover. We booked last minute and she was flexible around her own plans, and came over to get instructions on how to get into our building and pick up our 9mo old husky, Yermo. She brought her pup to meet him, and then took them both to the beach! Christina was easygoing yet very communicative and gave us updates the whole time. She left a photo of Yermo once she dropped him off, even though she knew I was at a work event and wouldn't be able to respond. We're excited to have her in our network!
We were very fortunate to have found Jingjing while spending time in the Bay Area from Oregon. We had a family function and needed daycare for the event and the day prior. Jingjing and her family took great care of Curry including at least one walk a day and ball throwing. Curry wasn’t anxious or stressed when we picked him up or dropped him off on the second day. We won’t hesitate to book with Jingjing if we’re visiting the area and need day care!
Five stars for Raina! This 10 year old has a remarkable gift for animal care. She and her father Mel provided excellent care for our dog Rani over the weekend. What stood out most was Raina’s genuine passion for dogs and her sensitive, attentive approach. Rani returned home calm and happy, and was eager to see Raina and Mel the very next weekend. That level of comfort and trust is best environment we would have asked for. Raina’s caring nature and natural ability with animals make her an outstanding dog sitter. We feel confident leaving our dog with her and the family!
Super sweet family! Our dog was raised with a toddler so it was nice to have kids for her to be with since we don't have any of our own. Normally our dog is nervous about new places. She ran into the house like it was her own. Angela was patient with me being this was our very 1st Rover experience. I had a lot of issues with the website. Kangwoong took care of JuJu as soon as she rushed through the door to play with their daughter. The updates were timely as if Angela could tell when I was missing our little pup. And the whole family came to say goodbye when it was time to leave. Small gestures that mean a lot! She must have had a good day as she slept on the ride home & passed out a little before her usual bedtime in a deep sleep. This morning she woke up on her back stretched out basically saying, "I am living a good life!" She seemed very happy with her stay & she was the right amount of tired. Thank you so much to the entire family for making our first experience an awesome one!
We had a late-night, last minute need for a sitter for our 9-week old puppy. Crystal immediately and enthusiastically responded and the whole experience could not have been smoother. It was obvious our puppy received excellent care and lots of affection. Thank you Crystal!
We have left Bingo with Irina several times after a meet & greet, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. She is a caring, attentive, and highly responsive sitter who truly goes the extra mile. We always received regular photos and videos of our little one, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We are very happy with her service and feel completely confident leaving Bingo in her care. We will definitely continue to use her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
Murphy really enjoyed his stay with Jen, when I picked him up, he looked back longingly wanting to go back with her hahaha. Jen sent many photos and updates on how Murphy was settling in during his daycare stay. She is very responsive and friendly. I would definitely have her watch Murphy again!
We are so grateful to have found Kenny. We tried leaving our dog at a hotel/boarding facility. We paid extra for a nice room. But he was mostly in that room alone, standing and clawing at the glass, begging for attention. And when we would drop him off, he would try to get away. When we picked him up, he was panicked and breathing hard. He couldn’t mingle with the dogs due to being intact. It was isolating and he has separation anxiety. I’m sharing this for contrast. When I drop him off at Kenny’s he runs to him, jumps and licks him, and walks away without ever looking back at me, lol. We get photo and video updates showing how much fun he has: playing in the yard with another dog, pooping! Going for a walk, eating, napping, etc. Kenny watches over them and keeps them safe, ex: big vs small, neutered/spayed vs not. My dog loves going there now, and I can focus on work without worry. So thankful to have found this priceless attention and care.

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 Altos 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 4,028 sitters in Los Altos, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
