“Hyo is the best , super professional and very good with dogs. We contacted her last minute and she still managed to take care of Porcini . Thank you Hyo I highly recommend her.”
“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
“Victoria was great! She helped us last minute when I was in a bind and sent me pics of my happy dog throughout the day. She was also very dependable and communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah has been wonderful at taking care of Harry! She asked lots of questions and was super sweet and loving! I am very protective of him and don’t leave him with any one if I can help it! But as I had a grand baby on the way - I needed help and Deborah was amazing! We will see her again!”
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home dog mom to my 2.5-year-old golden retriever, Goose, who loves meeting new friends. I can offer your pet constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I’ve raised Goose since he was 12 weeks old, have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience, and grew up with cats. I can administer medications, follow detailed care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—I already spend my days walking, playing with, and caring for Goose. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, mid-day walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a quick cuddle, a mental-stimulating game, or an extra walk to burn energy, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. Dogs have access to a secure balcony for fresh air and are allowed on the bed for snuggles, but not on other furniture. We follow a no human-food policy to keep pets safe. I stick closely to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and confident in their surroundings. Goose is extremely friendly with other dogs and fascinated (but gentle) with cats; if needed, I can separate spaces to keep everyone relaxed.
About: I am new to Rover but began pet sitting for neighbors at 16 years old. I have experience with both small and large dogs, including my own 90 lb lab who I trained from an 8 week old puppy into adulthood. You can feel at complete ease knowing your dog will be well cared for in a very loving, comfortable, and clean home while you are away. We have a big, fully fenced-in back yard, as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. I am home all day and am able to accommodate anything your dog needs. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate both daytime care as well as multi-night overnight boarding with full availability with advanced notice. We have a fully-fenced in back yard as well as a clean home for your dog to feel comfortable while you are away. We also have a very friendly 2.5 year old male English Lab to be a playmate and keep your dog company.
About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!
“Roxy responded quickly to my request to book and was accommodating in her home she was great with Precious took her walks and tried to feed her she’s a finicky eater though. When in town I will definitely call Roxy to book. Thank you Roxy 🐾”
“I had a wonderful experience! She took such great care of Rayder and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent me lots of updates, photos, and messages throughout his stay, which I really appreciated because it gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. Rayder came home happy, well cared for, and I could tell he had a great time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“I have 2 fur kids- and was seeking a trustworthy kind sitter, specifically for some special needs for my almost 18yr old terrier poodle mix. It truly takes a special person to understand the gentleness and extra care needed for seniors specifically- I came across Lisa‘s profile and SHE IS AMAZING!! I booked her and utilized her services immediately. I plan to have many more visits with her in the future! My cuties LOVE HER. ?? She is very attentive, sends Photos and updates etc. Trust me, as a neurotic dog mom it takes a lot to impress me- and I am BEYOND impressed!! THANK YOU LISA!??”
About: I have grown up with dogs as my best friends. There is nothing I love more than cuddling and playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have had a golden doodle for 12 years, taught her to be a therapy dog, and compete in dog shows. I typically pet sit dogs at least once a month for my friends because they know how much I love them! I also frequently volunteer to foster dogs to help them get ready to be adopted. My boyfriend and I both work from home so we will be with your dogs all day. We have one 20 pound male neutered poodle. I am a runner and very active so if your dogs would like to run I am always looking for running buddies! Pets are my best friends and your best friend would be in amazing hands with me! Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any questions. Use link for 20 off first service https://www.rover.com/sit/katied51602
“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have a history of aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet and greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.

Deborah was so great! We did a meet and greet with my dog Bentley prior to daycare - her house is lovely and she made sure Bentley was very comfortable! She gave us many updates while he was there. I highly recommend using Deborah and have already booked her out for our summer travels!
Kat and her pup have such a calm and kind energy. She has an adorable house with a great yard. I’m particular when it comes to my senior dog but I had peace of mind with her. My mom’s puppy joined as well and we got updates and pictures all night. Very grateful to have found her and I’ll certainly be booking again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Newport Coast
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,380 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Newport Coast. 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 Newport Coast 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 3,380 sitters in Newport Coast, 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.
