“Morgan did a great job watching Sparky. Sparky really enjoyed playing with her dogs. Morgan was very nice and friendly and she was able to take Sparky very early in the morning. We will definitely leave Sparky with her again.”
About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.

My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week and weekends! I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll handle feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks and of course lots of love and attention!
About: Wah Gwaan! My Name is Ronley and I just moved to California from Jamaica! I am a dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs. In Jamaica, I helped run a kennel with more than 35 dogs at a time and regularly worked on basic training and behavior. I was never formally certified because certification was not required there, but I gained years of real-world experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Since moving to the U.S., I’m excited to get back into the dog world. I love everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I bring lots of energy, patience, and love to every dog I care for. I currently work part-time and am available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with additional availability depending on the day as I work Nights. During my off-season, from November 2026 through March 2027, I’ll have full-time availability for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime! Safety is always a priority for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision, and make sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I also respect every client’s home and treat their pets like family.

“Laurel was very kind, warm, and caring! Our dog came back happy, relaxed, and it was clear he had been very well looked after. While he was staying with Laurel, we were able to fully enjoy visiting Sequoia National Park, including the areas where dogs aren’t allowed, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you, Laurel, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby and giving us complete peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

“Elyssa and her lovely fam were incredible. I was visiting family in the area and left Mac with her for the day while we went boating. Mac clearly had an amazing time hanging out with his new family for the day. Her kids were so sweet with Mac (they even discovered his high fiving trick!) and Mac loved hanging with them. I felt very secure knowing that Elyssa would care for Mac and knew he was safe with her and her family. She understood that we don’t leave Mac alone and assured us someone would be with him all day. She also understood his medical condition and was attentive and ensured he was happy and not anxious. I will definitely leave Mac with Elyssa in the future when I’m in town. I am so grateful knowing there is a reliable, caring dog sitter near my family in Clovis as it will make visiting and doing non-dog friendly activities much easier without having to leave Mac behind.”
“My rescued dog Jojo is very timid and slow to allow people into her trust. ReShan quickly won her heart and her trust, and mine as well. She is always so happy to see him, I know he treats her well. I have that peace of mind that she is well loved and cared for while I can't be with her. ReShan makes sure Jojo gets lots of walks and exercise, which she loves , and he brushes her coat so it shines. ReShan has also helped Jojo to make progress with her fear of dogs. She recently, at age 4 years, play-bowed to another dog, a first for her! ReShan also commands her respect and obedience, something I am still working at. Jojo and I are very thankful to have ReShan's help in our lives.”
“As always, Audra was a fabulous sitter for my furry babies. She always loves on them and they LOVE to go to her house. She communicates great, provides excellent care, and her home environment is perfect for the dogs to enjoy indoor and outdoor space as well as play with their doggy friends😊 She is my one and only sitter because she is the BEST!!”
“Kara was phenomenal. I needed an urgent sitter for my puppy and Kara reached back out to me within 10 minutes of my request (which was rather late in the evening, I might add.) Communication was smooth, and Kara went above and beyond in communicating with me throughout the day. I will absolutely be returning! 11/10”
“Diane was such a help when our other booking cancelled last minute. Ninny Muggins had an amazing day with Penny and Gracie including a trip to the park and lots of play time. She came home a very tired pup which means she had a full day of fun. She kept in touch throughout the day and sent pics. We will definitely book again when we’re in the area.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life — all 40+ years of it. Reading a dog's mood, sticking to their routine, and knowing when something's off is second nature to me, not something I just picked up. And at my age, I'm past the flaky stage: I'm reliable, I show up, I communicate, and I treat your dog the way I treat my own. I'm Kristi, 43, from Sanger, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Right now my days revolve around my two dogs — Mina, a 2-year-old pit bull and shepherd mix who's all energy and very food-motivated, and Skai, a husky, shepherd, and lab mix who is 3-years-old and the mellow one. Between the two of them, I'm used to every kind of dog day: high-energy play, slow couch time, and everything in between. I work remotely for work so it makes it easy to be home with them all the time. Your dog joins our normal daily routine — feeding on their own schedule, walks and playtime, plenty of downtime, and a calm place to sleep at night. I have a yard with room for more dogs, and I can keep your dog separate from mine if that's a better fit — whether they need their own space or just do better one-on-one. I stick to whatever routine you give me, send you updates and photos, and if anything seems off, I call you right away and get them to a vet if needed.

Monday,Tuesday Wednesday,Thursday and Sunday are my days I’m off I work 6:30 to 12 I have a roommate she works from home so someone will always be home watching your pet.

“Everly and I were immediately impressed with meeting Megan. We both felt so comfortable right away. I love getting the pictures of the day they had together. Megan is very nice and such a blessing..I could tell right away that everly had a great time. Thank you so much!”
“Kendra was fantastic! She sent me fun pictures and videos that made me so comfortable with my pup being there. She was easy to communicate with and provided the best experience. My pup even put herself to bed early last night after having so much fun at Kendra’s.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 294 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lucerne. 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 Lucerne 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 294 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
