About: Our family has had a black lab/boxer for over 8 years, and I grew up with dogs in the household. I am active and we love to take our pup on walks, to the park, and play around the family. Would love to extend my care to your dog, as a home away from home or puppy playdate treat. I'm currently a stay at home mom and freelance artist, so available for flexible doggy day care and overnight boarding. Please reach out for initial meet and greet or to schedule. We have a fenced in yard, active middle aged dog who gets along great with all size pups, and a loving home with 3 girls who also love animals.
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. We plan to take one dog every 2-3 months and to shower them with love and attention. If you're interested in our family, chances are best if you coordinate with us well in advance :) I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. On the weekends, after school, on holidays, and during summer break, my daughters will shower your pup with love and attention. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have a well-trained, friendly companion dog and a large backyard for plenty of outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I enjoy long walks and trips to the dog park, and I’m happy to provide patient, attentive care, including basic training reinforcement and extra playtime. Reliable, caring, and committed to keeping your pup safe and happy. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I will be able to focus on your pup during their visit! I will be available daily from 9am - 6pm and can offer after hours or overnight if needed. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own for company. My daughter is also an animal lover and loves to give belly rubs!
“My energetic puppy had a great time with their two little dogs. When we chatted at pick up time, I could tell a lot of care and consideration went into watching over my little pup. They followed my "puppy handbook" to a T!”
“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!!”
“We had a wonderful experience. They took such good care of my dog—very attentive, patient, and loving. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Otto looked happy, well-exercised, and completely comfortable when I picked him up. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We have used Renz several different times and he’s always been great! Pepper loves he and his partner and their sweeeeet dog, Whiskey. Renz is very easy to coordinate with, follows all my instructions, troubleshoots intelligently, is skilled in obedience training, and seems to really enjoy learning Pepper’s needs. He has access to a variety of dog parks and trails, including agility structures, so I know Pepper is always going to have fun and be stimulated. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Courtney took such great care of Otto! She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day and even gave him a bath for me! He came come squeaky clean, happy, and tired.”
“Our dogs took to Anna right away and she was great with them! She took them on plenty of walks and sent us photo updates so we could see what they were up to. We’ll definitely be booking with Anna again soon.”
About: Hello everyone! I’m Jasmine and I have been around animals my whole life - I grew up in a very animal loving family and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life I have always been surrounded by animals like cats dogs birds fish and even turtles which helped me understand different animal personalities from an early age Over the years I personally raised and cared for 6 cats and 2 dogs in my own home - making sure they were always safe well fed and loved every day - I also regularly helped my neighbors by taking care of their dogs when they were away and sometimes hosted them in my home so they felt safe and comfortable Along with all of this I also raised two children while living this life surrounded by animals which helped me develop a very patient calm and responsible nature in everyday life I have also supported my family with their pets whenever needed and taken responsibility for their care which gave me many years of real hands on experience I am calm patient and responsible and I truly enjoy spending time with animals - I always treat every pet with care attention and love as if they were my own family❤️ I am currently on a break and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can adjust my time based on pet care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment for every pet staying with me. I currently have a 3.5 year old Maltipoo who is very friendly, playful, and well socialized with other animals. He helps create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in the home. I always make sure every pet feels safe and stress-free in my home. Pets are supervised and cared for at all times, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent. There is also a dog park just a 2-minute walk from my home, which is a great nearby space for walks and exercise when appropriate. My goal is to make every pet feel like they are in a second home where they are safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Karen, Will and Cookie were the best daycare hosts my puppy Sadie and I could have asked for during a visit to SF. They were so sweet and welcoming and took incredible care of Sadie. It was such a relief to find them on short notice - I had full trust in them and knew Sadie was enjoying her time there. I highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for loving care of their dog and I will definitely use them again on our next visit. Thank you!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who had just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Altos Hills
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.
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!!
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!
Teilyn and her wife are absolutely wonderful sweet people and I was so happy to find them on Rover. They have such a lovely backyard area for pups and were great with my 5 month old husky puppy, Yermo. And their two little Chinese Cresteds are awesome! Yermo came home absolutely wiped out (a godsend) and I got check-ins and photos of him helping with gardening and also out at his first protest (so proud). Really thankful for the new experiences and socialization for my puppy and to find great pup sitters.
Anna was great. She responded to my request for daycare right away and was always texting back promptly. My puppy is 6 months old, he is chewing on everything. Anna played with him and gave him lots of toys. She also took him on a nice walk and played fetch with him. Anna has a great house with a fenced yard. Anna also made a lot of nice pictures of my puppy with the toys and the ball. I highly recommend Anna for puppy care. Thank you Anna!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Los Altos Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Los Altos Hills on Rover is $59.94 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,200 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Los Altos Hills. 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 Los Altos Hills 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 4,200 sitters in Los Altos Hills, 88% 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.
