“We had such a great first experience with Sara! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable leaving Fifi in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, as well as how attentive she was to Fifi and her individual needs. It was wonderful to hear that she had fun with Sara’s family, including her sweet dog Shadow, and was getting lots of attention and love throughout the day. Fifi was happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which means everything to me. I would absolutely feel good about leaving her with Sara again and I look forward to Fifi’s future stays with her!”
“Monica is wonderful! I recently used her services to look after my dog and I couldn't be happier. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!”
“Justine is nothing short of amazing! We were looking for someone who could handle the puppy energy of our sweet, 8 month-old Shih Tzu, and Justine and Bodi fit the bill. After a couple initial visits at their house, we brought Ollie over for a full day, and he absolutely LOVED it. Justine is fantastic. She’s professional, super responsive, and is just generally warm and kind. She understood our anxieties around the touchy nature of socializing a puppy, and she handled it all with grace and ease. We feel so lucky to have Justine as an invaluable resource not just for us, but for Ollie, too. Thanks so much!”
“Stefanie took amazing care of my sweet dog during a bout of IBS. She kept me up to date with lots of check ins and was super flexible when I needed to change dates. I cannot recommend Stefanie enough!”
“Sant and his lovely peaceful Family has become a part of My Family after ONLY one and a half days' time at there magnificent place. I highly advise extreme caution for any future visitors (the ones blessed to receive a "booking confirmation" from Sant&Family)... Heightened awareness of: Motor vehicle rushings Senseless speediness Distracted driving Children hauling gear Overpopulated areas Robot activities ....& a few more. Thank you for being aware and respective of my familial families home. Please conduct business with awareness and respect. BE SAFE 🦋”
“Jenna was a lifesaver! We were visiting the area and literally needed someone to sit with Scrappy at the last minute. I could tell Scrappy was comfortable with her immediately. She sent updates and pictures regularly. She is an angel! ❤”
“Baoying was great with Louie! She provided playtime and exercise for my very playful pet. I also like the way her pet matches Louie’s energy, Louie is a lot calmer when i picked him up.”
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.
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for pets for the past 17 years with a focus on puppy training and development including potty training and behavioral training to socialize pups. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I am available to provide the love, care, and attention for your pup on a daily basis. I have a fenced porch yard with a doggie door for dogs to choose where they want to spend their time. I also have a dachshund-mix (Winnie) to keep your fur baby company. Additionally, I have many crates and beds available for dogs that prefer indoors.
“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.”
“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!”
“Shadow loved his daycare visits with Neela & family. Neela was able to take us very last-minute for three days of day visits. Neela's house was clean and safe, and we were able to work together on drop-off and pick-up times. Thank you for taking such great care of Shadow!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Chardonnay! Chardonnay is currently recovering from back surgery, so we were especially nervous about leaving her with someone new. Rachel handled her with so much care, attention, and love, and immediately put us at ease. She was a great communicator and sent us tons of updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Rachel is a true dog lover and genuinely cared about Chardonnay’s comfort and well being. She asked all the right questions about how to safely handle and care for her during her post op recovery, which we really appreciated. We could tell Chardonnay was in great hands because she looked so content and completely at ease with Rachel. We would absolutely trust Rachel with Chardonnay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter!”

Sara was very helpful from start to finish. I had a last-minute booking and she accepted. She was very accommodating of my schedule for the day, which gave me flexibility in my travel plans.I received sweet photos of my dog Teddy throughout the day. He clearly had a good time and was very relaxed when I picked him up . I would definitely work with Sara again. I appreciated her timely and consistent communication and felt that Teddy was very well cared for.
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!

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.

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.
