“Florence and Wen did an AMAZING job watching our dog while we were at work. They were so kind, caring, and considerate and gave great updates. Most importantly, our dog loved them! We’d recommend them to everyone and can’t wait for our dog to stay with them again!”
“Kenny, was very kind. He ensured Poppy was taken care of. I really appreciate the communication videos and photos throughout the day. She seemed happy and wanted to come back everyday, which was a great sign that you enjoyed staying there! Thank you!”
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
“Jennifer is very professional and responsive. Our dog really enjoyed staying at her home. They can play inside or out. She even brushed his fur out so he was super soft. I would leave him there again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I moved back to the bay in 2020. I work from home, and my I recently moved in with my sister who also helps take care of the pups (she is a former mini Aussie owner). I can generally take out the pups very 2-4 hours and treat them as my own. I was going to foster but life got in the way (I recently had surgery in my mouth, so you will see my speech has been slightly affected) Hello there - primarily open for house sitting in SF proper for minimum of 1 week for March and April. - if it’s 2+ weeks, we can negotiate on price depending on circumstance. Just FYI so you are not surprised, I recently had a surgery in my mouth so I have a slight speech impediment. ____________________________________________
“Andrew was fantastic. We were a little nervous about taking her to a sitter since she is pretty nervous but Andrew did a great job taking care of her. We also appreciated all of the pictures he sent us through the day. We look forward to returning again soon!”
About: I volunteer with Furry Friends Rescue, so I’m used to all kinds of dogs. Real hands-on rescue experience means I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. I pay attention to behavior, stick to routines, and adjust to each dog so they feel secure and understood. I treat every animal like they’re my own and focus on keeping them calm, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.😇 Pet care fits in great! I can do drop-in visits, walks, or playtime on weekdays after 2pm, and I’m totally flexible for weekend boarding or overnight stays if you need it. I love spending real time with the animals, not just rushing in and out. I have a fenced backyard, so your pets can run around safely at my place. I make sure they’re comfortable, get plenty of exercise and attention, and I’ll crate them if that’s what they’re used to or if I need to step out. At your home, I follow your exact routine: feeding, walks, any special rules and I’ll send updates and pics so you know everything’s good!!
“Ethan took wonderful care for my puppy. He was great at communicating and gave lots of updates through out the day. My puppy had a blast with Astro :) Will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family that has always cared deeply about animals. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve helped take care of our family dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Even now, I often help friends and family with their dogs whenever they need an extra hand, whether that means watching them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to be patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter❤️🐶 I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, so I’m usually able to accommodate most times and days without any issues. I can adjust easily depending on what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed. My goal is to be reliable and easy to work with, so you can feel confident that your dog will be taken care of even on short notice or changing schedules. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I live on the first floor, which makes it very easy and safe for dogs to go in and out, and I also have direct access to a backyard and nearby parks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. The home is spacious and pet-friendly, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and move around comfortably. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and stress-free so every dog feels at home. There’s always space to rest, play, and feel secure, and I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for at all times.🙋🏻♀️✨
“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
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.
“Steven and Pei Shan are a very friendly couple. Their Shiba, Mika is super fluffy and cute! My dog Jojo is a very anxious and jumpy dog but they made her feel very comfortable in their home. They gave updates and beautiful photos of Jojo while in their care. Jojos first stay with them went very well and I’ll be continuing to use their care for my dog. Recommend to all!!”
“Jennifer was very nice and took good care of Pixie. She was gentle and loving with our dog. Our dog is selective in nature, it was helpful that she had only two dogs at a time. She was very flexible with the pickup time. We had a meet and greet before so that we can get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit with her and the other dog she was sitting. Pixie seemed happy in the photos she shared and came back happy after. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

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!

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.
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!
Fiona watches my dog Kaia daily, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. It is such a relief knowing Kaia is in such loving and capable hands. As a dog owner, it means everything to have someone you trust completely with your pup, and Fiona gives me that peace of mind every single day. She treats Kaia like one of her own and always keeps me updated which lets me know Kaia is happy, safe, and well cared for. Finding someone this reliable, kind, and genuinely caring is rare. If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog and treat them with love and attention, look no further than Fiona. I’m so grateful we found her!
Both Jason and his dog, Remi, were great. My dog was obviously contented when he got home in the evening. Jason has a great set up: a nice well maintained home with a fenced in yard along with plenty of adaptations to make dogs happy and comfortable. Jason was also very accommodating regarding last-minute quirks in my schedule. Overall a great experience. IMHO you can’t go wrong with Jason. I’ll definitely be using him again.
Cristina was super kind and responsive! She sent me updates and photos throughout the day and let me know if any issues arose. She was patient with my anxious senior dog and did a great job taking care of him. I definitely recommend her and Ernesto and would love to book them again!
I needed someone to watch my babygirl for the day and Annie was super accommodating, even though I had sent a request at 10pm the night before. When I brought Meeka over, she was communicative and heard my concerns. She stayed engaged with me throughout the day, sent multiple photos and updates and I could tell that Meeka was doing fine. I’d definitely recommend Annie for your pets as she’s a very attentive pet owner.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Loyola
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Loyola on Rover is $66.6 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,466 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Loyola. 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 Loyola 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 3,466 sitters in Loyola, 89% 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.
