“We had a wonderful experience! Rachel took great care of our pet, made sure she got plenty of walks, and sent us daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Rachel again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, relatives and clients for years. Our house is their pets’ second home when they travel or need us. I can do the same for you, too. During the weekend I am mostly home. Weekdays, I partially work from office and home. There is plenty of time to spend time with your pet or walk them frequently. My husband works from home full time, so there is always one or two adults at home. We live in a single house with a fenced backyard, and there is a big greenbelt right outside our backyard ( see images). Therefore it’s very convenient for frequent walks or play time for your pet. They can also meet other dogs as well. As a family, we are comfortable with being around furry friends. We volunteer with my daughters at a local farm cleaning, caring, patting…. Love it! Our own cat-Zeytin is very calm and friendly. We love to play, walk, cuddle, spend some quiet time with our pet and guest pets and will do the same with yours, too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Nevin
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Simba received again . From the first day, it was clear how loving and attentive Rikiya is. Communication was excellent, and Simba felt comfortable and happy. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.”
About: I’m basically the kind of person who will stop mid-conversation to say hi to a dog 😄 I genuinely love spending time with animals, and dogs tend to warm up to me pretty quickly—whether they’re playful, shy, or a little bit dramatic. What sets me apart is the energy I bring. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I hang out with them, play with them, and make sure they’re having a good time while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just being a cozy couch buddy, I adapt to your dog’s personality and routine. I’m also super detail-oriented, so I’ll follow your instructions closely (meals, meds, quirks—you name it). And you’ll definitely get lots of updates and cute photos, because I know being away from your pet can be hard. I’m great with both high-energy pups who want to play all day and older dogs who just want a calm, gentle presence. Either way, your dog will be safe, happy, and probably a little spoiled 😊 I work from home, so I’m around pretty much all day to give your pet consistent attention and care. They won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily stick to their routine—whether that’s regular walks, playtime breaks, or just being there for company. Having that flexibility means I can give pets lots of supervision, cuddles, and quick responses to their needs throughout the day. It’s perfect for dogs who need extra attention, are a little anxious, or just love having someone around. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine so they feel relaxed and at home. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with a fully fenced backyard, daily secured leashed walks, and occasional park visits for extra fun and exercise. Since I work from home, they get constant supervision, attention, and plenty of cuddles. I’m always mindful about safety and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“Mimi is a great sitter!she accommodate my hyper Cockapoo at last min and sit him for the holiday weekend. Really appreciate it! And I would love to book her again in the future.”
“Lyan is an extremely kind and understanding person. Kuma had a great time staying in her care! We were provided pictures during his stay, and she took extra precaution to check portions of his food.”
“Romeo enjoyed his day with Melissa, Vaughan and Beanie! Melissa was easygoing and caring, she even went above and beyond with extra long walks and potty breaks for him. She sent updates throughout the day, which was appreciated. Beanie’s house was very pet friendly, and Beanie was cute and well-trained as well :) Thank you!”
“I want to give a huge thank you to Bruno and his fiancée for taking such amazing care of my husky, Nova, especially on such short notice! From the moment I reached out, Bruno’s communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. He asked about Nova’s allergies, schedule, and any personal preferences to make sure she’d feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Within the first hour, I received pictures and a video of Nova walking and playing happily with their sweet pup, Jojo. Throughout the day, Bruno continued to send updates, pictures, and videos, in total, I received 15 photos and 4 videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Nova was not only being watched, but truly cared for. They even gave her snacks and a fun new topping on her food to make her feel extra special. On top of that, Bruno made sure to update Nova’s Rover report with a detailed summary: two long walks, potty breaks, food and water intake, every detail was covered. To top it all off, at the end of the visit, Nova went home with a goody bag and so much love. It genuinely felt like she had a mini vacation of her own. 💛 If you’re looking for responsible, loving, and attentive care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Bruno and his fiancé enough. They treat your pup like family and make the whole experience stress-free and joyful. I will absolutely bring Nova back again, this is the kind of care every fur friend deserves!”
“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request too.”
“Our dog Lulu is so happy and well taken care of by David’s family. Todd is my main contact who is David’s dad. We love the video and pictures he sent us. Lulu took a walk in the park and played with their dog Lucky. Thank you for taking good care of Lulu.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs and developing a deep, natural connection with them. I cared for and trained my own dog for 15 years, and after his passing, I adopted a close friend’s dog, who I now love and care for as my own. My experience includes working with dogs of all ages and needs from energetic pups to senior dogs requiring extra patience and support. I’m comfortable administering medication, preparing specialized meals based on dietary needs, and ensuring each dog gets the right level of exercise, structure, and attention. I treat every dog as if they’re part of my family because I know that’s exactly what they are to you. I work from home therefore, your pup will have all my attention! Walks are done every three to four hours in a day. Food is given based on your scheduled requirements. Since I have a dog of my own your pup will have a partner to play with! There's a dog park near by for them to run and play in as well.
About: I’ve always been the one who stops to pet every dog and volunteers to dog-sit whenever someone needs help. I grew up around dogs, from couch potatoes to high-energy pups, and I genuinely love spending time with all of them. Whether your dog wants to play fetch for hours or just cuddle on the couch, I’m here for it! I also regularly visit animal shelters to walk and comfort dogs, —it’s taught me how to be patient, attentive, and in tune with each dog’s unique needs. I'm always happy to provide love, care, and companionship to every pup I meet. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, your dog will be treated like family with me! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home. That means your pet will have my full attention, constant companionship, and plenty of love all day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have a secure patio if your dog enjoys sunbathing with a nice breeze, and I always make sure they’re comfortable, well-cared for, and never left alone for long. Their happiness and safety are my top priorities!
About: I've cared for dogs at every life stage, energetic puppies, senior dogs needing extra gentleness, and dogs with special needs or medications. That range means I can adapt quickly to whatever your dog needs I'm currently between jobs and actively job hunting, which gives me a lot of flexibility. My schedule is open on weekdays, and on weekends I'm available in the mornings, so there's always a window that works for walks and playtime. I live in an apartment close to green outdoor space, so dogs get plenty of walks and fresh air. I focus on keeping a calm, attentive environment with consistent routines for feeding, walks, and rest.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Mountain Home
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,891 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mountain Home. 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 Mountain Home 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 1,891 sitters in Mountain Home, 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.
