“Anna was a great sitter! I found her to be thoughtful and I think my dog Luna had a good time with her. She was very conscientious about the fact that my dog can be a bit skittish with other dogs and she kept that in mind when introducing Luna to her own dog and the dog was sitting. She kept us up to date with pictures, videos and texts. We will see you next time!”
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
About: I have had pets my entire life, and have always been that neighbor who can walk, bathe, play, and take care of dogs, and spend quality cuddle time with cats! I have experience with mostly well-trained dogs, but I am comfortable with puppies as well. I can handle small or large dogs, monitor play sessions to ensure safety, and provide excellent care. I am comfortable working with the following: - Dogs (puppies, adults, seniors) - Cats (kittens, bottle feeding, potty training, bathing, adults, seniors) - Bunnies (handling, feeding, exercise) - Guinea pigs (handling, feeding) I would love to care for your pets! I have full all-day availability during my school breaks over the holidays. I do have a car and license so I can take dogs to parks or hikes, as well as organize playdates. I can do dog walking, dog playdates, outings, and house-sitting. I have been working with animals in a professional capacity for over 6 years now, both through farm work and over 100 fosters. I have been involved with kitten fostering with the Peninsula SPCA for 6 years, taking in orphaned kittens and preparing them for adoption. I have valuable experience working with very under-socialized kittens and cats. I have also been walking and dog sitting with my neighborhood dogs for many years now, almost always working with adult dogs over 60lbs. I create strong and honest relationships with my clients based on giving their pets the best care possible.
“Our dog Pretzel seemed to have a great day with Zheng! She had other dogs to play with and she was happy at the end of the day. We got pictures throughout and I think Pretzel is looking forward to her next visit.”
“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”

I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I enjoy taking breaks for walks, playtime, and companionship. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits, depending on my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities.

“Jeffery was fantastic. Our puppy is very skittish and doesn’t take to new people easily. By the end of doggy daycare, she was letting him pet her and feed her treats. This speaks volumes! It is clear from all interactions with Jeffery that he’s a very caring individual that puts your pet first and foremost. Would definitely recommend. Also his dog Barney was the cherry on top! Both dogs loved to play together.”
“Marcel was well taken care of with Ivana! If you want a tired puppy this is definitely the place. Ivana was consistent with keeping me posted on how Marcel was doing throughout the day. Very accommodating with time frame as well! Definitely leaving a tip for that helped me out so much! Has spent repeated days with her and everytime was exhausted! Her dog was friendly with our puppy as well, helped with socializing him!”
“Marie was so great with Winston! I could tell he immediately felt comfortable and safe with her! She also sent many updates so I knew how he was doing. I definitely will bring him back, thank you again Marie!”
“Koa had a very nice experience with Sophia, her husband and Teddy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter. We look forward to visiting them again in the future”
About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.
About: Hi there! I’m Rosanne, a lifelong dog lover and former pet parent to a sweet senior corgi who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. Caring for her through her golden years — from managing her special diet to giving medications and lots of love — taught me how to be patient, attentive, and deeply in tune with a dog’s needs. Whether your pup is an energetic youngster or a gentle senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home four days a week with a flexible schedule, which allows me to take your pup on regular walks and let them out as often as they need. On days I’m caring for your dog, I’ll adjust my schedule to stay home so they’re never left alone. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re at my home or in yours. In your home, I follow your routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. At my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, walks, and exercise to match their energy level. Communication is key, so I always send updates, photos, and notes to keep you connected while you’re away.
“Kitty is a very kind pet sitter. Kitty is very well versed in carrying for animals. My puppy Miles is a nine weeks old puppy and was cared for very well with Kitty.”

Anna was a great sitter! I found her to be thoughtful and I think my dog Luna had a good time with her. She was very conscientious about the fact that my dog can be a bit skittish with other dogs and she kept that in mind when introducing Luna to her own dog and the dog was sitting. She kept us up to date with pictures, videos and texts. We will see you next time!
Violet had a fabulous day and came home happy and perfectly tired out from a day of new experiences and friends. We appreciated photo updates of her walking and playing. Excellent communications and initial meet and greet helped us feel confident and comfortable with the entire experience.
Casey took such great care of Sopita, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages and gave us so much peace of mind. Casey was also very flexible and accommodating with both drop off and pick up times. It was clear she genuinely cared about Sopita and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Casey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a communicative and caring sitter!
Nicole was so sweet and caring to our dog Chico. You can tell she’s a true animal lover. She sent pictures & updates of him playing in her backyard and at the park by her house. She has two sweet dogs that our dog loved playing with. I’m so happy we found Nicole, we’d love for her to watch Chico again.
We are so happy to have found Camille. She accommodated Luna's stay within a short notice. Luna came back home happy and relaxed. We couldn't ask for more, as Luna can be very shy at times. Communication is great and Camille always send us updates and photos which we enjoy and gives as an extra peace of mind while we are away. Thank you for taking such good care of Luna and we will continue to use Camille's services for sure!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Millbrae is $56 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $83 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,778 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Millbrae. 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 Millbrae 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 November 2026, there are 4,778 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
