“First day care for Megatron was a success! Thank you Connie for the regular updates with pictures. Left us reassured that she’s having a good time with the other pups. Thanks again!”
“Best dog care experience I have ever had! Blueberry was handled with the utmost professional care and exceeded my expectations. Vanson is so attentive to my dog's personal needs by ensuring she is given her treats I provided and following any instructions given. He has a wonderful backyard with sweet doggos of his own who are very playful and got along great with my dog. He ensures a wonderful experience for both my dog and myself. Took my dog on walks which I could see in the Rover app and sent pics throughout the day of my dog. Such peace of mind! My dog didn't even want to go home with me after having such a good time. Book with Vanson, you will not regret it!”

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Justine could not have been more accommodating in making sure our puppy Theo’s stay was inviting and overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to his next stay with her!”
About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.
About: Hi there! Welcome to my page! I moved to the Bay Area 3 years ago from Sacramento & I currently live in the East Bay. I had a male Persian cat named Blue and a female chihuahua named Cheese who recently passed away. I adopted a doodle 3 years ago named Honey who is such a joy! Growing up I had a German Shepherd, Doberman, Beagle, Mini American Eskimo & cats so I’ve been around a lot of different dogs & cats. I love hiking, traveling & trying new restaurants (especially since everything is so dog friendly here!). I’m mainly interested in Rover for fun because I love animals so much. I can’t wait to meet everyone’s fur babies & explore the Bay Area more! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you ever have questions. Thank you! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’d love to get out and play with your pets! I have a very flexible schedule so whenever you need me, I’ll be there! When visiting someone’s home, I like to follow the fur babies lead. First things first, potty. Then, are they hungry? Do they want to play? What about cuddles? And of coarse, a walk if they’re up for it!
“Neela was friendly and communicative. She read my care instructions and asked questions. My pup Katara can sometimes get stressed in new environments but she seemed at home in the photo updates and she came home relaxed and happy. I already booked Katara's next stay with Neela!”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She was super flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up. Spartacus would perk right up when he saw her - I could see he was in good hands. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
“Hannah was great!! My Kylo had such a fun time playing with the pups (he told me). She even updated us with pictures throughout the day. We will definitely bring Kylo back! Thanks Hannah!!”
“Darren and his family welcomed us with warmth and kindness. We are nervous first time dog owners and were unsure how this new experience would go. Everything was clean and safe. Our pup immediately felt at home with Darren and his family. Darren was thoughtful, diligent, and practical when we talked about our dog's care needs. Our pup enjoyed walks, and got her regular meals and naps. When we picked her up, she was playing and happy. Her mood was great the rest of the night. We look forward to many more doggy daycare days with Darren and his family!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Megatron, she sits on our laps alot at home so it’s great to know she’s comfortable at her day care and was able to do the same. Will rebook soon.”
About: LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I GET "FREE" FRESH WET FOOD, "FREE" TREATS, AND "FREE" PREVENTATIVE CARE ITEMS, ETC FROM CHEWY FOR MY PET. YOU TOO CAN GET THEM FOR "FREE"! I don't have any ratings at this time because I just signed up with Rover on August 22, 2026. Please kindly choose me and help me build the greatest 5 star rated service. Thank you so very much. I am a retired, stay at home, middle aged, single lady with a 12 year old neutered male Jack Russell Terrier angel of my own that I adopted 12 years ago, and I have been taking care of him all along. I have over 12 years experience caring for my own angel, and I have also provided full time care for many days to family and friends' pets in the past. Since childhood, I have been magnetically drawn to animals of all kinds. I have such profoundly deep love for animals that I mostly just live for them, in a manner such that I have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for them, I make sacrifices in my personal life in such a manner such that I can increase my donations to animals, and I get greater joy by sacrificing for animals than by treating myself. With my pet care services, I hope to increase my donations to animals and provide companionship of his own kind to my own angel. In me, your pet will have a person caring for him/her that feels true love for him/her in the bottom of her heart. I own a spacious home with a spacious fenced yard, where I live alone with my angel. My neighborhood is tucked away and is extremely safe. I am eager to meet your angel baby, please give him/her my love, tell him/her that we are BFFs, and that we are going to have the greatest times together. We will celebrate life to the fullest together! I am retired, and I stay at home full time. I am available for pet care 24/7/365. No time or day restriction. Humbly at your, and your pet's service all the time. I own a spacious home with a fenced yard. I will personally escort your pet to the backyard for their personal private activities and to play. I also have a very gentle 20 pound neutered dog, who is extremely well behaved around other dogs. He doesn't bark at other dogs, he just wants to play, and he is never aggressive. Your pet will have company of his/her own kind. In my home, your pet will be free to jump on the couches and the bed. With your approval, he/she may sleep with me in my bed, just like my dog does. If you prefer another arrangement, please specify it, and it will be satisfied. Periodically, I will take pictures and videos and share with you so that you can see how pampered your pet is in my care. I may read bedtime stories before falling asleep, give gentle pampering massages, etc, with your approval off course. If I am pet sitting in your home, your instructions and preferences will be followed and satisfied. I am highly accommodating.
“Lori was very thoughtful and communicated very well with us about how our shy 55lb girl was doing on her first day care visit. Lori's home is very clean and has a great backyard for play or lounging. We definitely will set up a sleepover date soon We are very happy with Lori's care of our girl.”
“Tamiko was great! She took such good care of my French bulldog and was very attentive the whole time. I loved getting frequent updates and photos - it really put me at ease. My little guy was happy and well cared for, and I’d recommend anyone, particularly with a French bulldog, to give her a call!”
About: We have 2 friendly, senior dogs who hang out with me while I WFH. I have plenty of availability for last minute care or for longer term care needs. We have a large, fenced in yard that my dogs enjoy sunbathing in and plenty of time for long walks. I WFH and have a very flexible schedule that allows for last minute requests and long term availability for your travel needs. My family has really enjoyed having additional dogs here to spend time with and we have plenty of hands on deck to meet everyone’s needs. I have a fenced in yard and can keep my eye on your pet throughout the day. Feeding schedules, outside time, walks, etc are all easy for me to accommodate!

Marie-Eve is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Her care for Watson is truly five-star. She provides regular updates with pictures and videos, and it’s clear how happy and comfortable he is in her care. She’s very mindful of his needs and keeps a close eye on him at all times. Every time I pick Watson up, he’s a happy boy. I highly recommend Marie-Eve!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Martinez 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 Martinez 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 4,459 sitters in Martinez, 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.
