Jacqueline set up a meet and greet right away to make sure Mack was a good fit before taking him in, which was a great sign that she is experienced. Rating of 5 stars due to her taking him in last minute when we really needed a sitter to help till he's fully vaccinated. Also, our first day for pick up we were 10 minutes late due to unforeseen traffic issue coming from Ranch Cordova and she was totally understanding. Puppies are a heavy lift, requiring a lot of personalized care. Jacqueline's kindness and flexibility were greatly appreciated!

I was really nervous about leaving my baby for the day with someone I didn’t know while I attended a conference. Nicole made everything so easy and she greeted us when we arrived, and my baby took an instant liking to her., what a relief. While we were gone, she sent me some pictures, which I really appreciate. Thank you so much, Nicole- I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my baby with you again

Kelsey is amazing as always! I had a last minute request due to my husband being in the hospital and she accommodated the situation so quickly. She takes great care of Lilly and always sends great photos of my girl which makes my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone in the area looking for someone to watch your fur baby!

About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom, lifelong animal lover, and proud pet mom to 2 dogs of my own. 🐶🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for 20+ years, helping family and friends with their furry family members. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they’re family! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I absolutely adore animals so our home is full of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! ❤️ We’re an animal-loving family and would be thrilled to welcome your pets into our lives. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their routine and personality. I’m also comfortable giving your pet the patience and space they need if they’re shy or take a little time to warm up. Why choose me? 🐾 20+ years of pet-care experience 🐾 Proud owner of 2 dogs 🐾 Stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule 🐾 Loving, attentive, and dependable 🐾 Your pet gets lots of attention and companionship 🐾 A family that genuinely loves animals I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐾❤️ Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I am home throughout the majority of the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Our family loves having animals around, and pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine.

I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they receive personalized care while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own home. During a visit, I can provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box care, and lots of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of our family and want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. ❤️🐾

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind whether you’re away on vacation, at work, or simply need an extra helping hand during the day. I currently have two dogs of my own and have cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, and lizards. Growing up with animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized attention and care. In addition to being a mom, I’m also a Licensed Nurse so providing compassionate, attentive care comes naturally to me. My schedule allows me flexibility for drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My home features a fenced yard, and my own children and fur babies help create a fun and welcoming environment for visiting pets. If needed, I can crate your pet to ensure they feel safe and secure. Our dog Rickey loves to play, while Izzy enjoys relaxing and keeping everyone company. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and treating them like part of the family! I am currently a stay at home mom who can stop by for visits or walks throughout the day as needed and let your request. I have a fenced yard and my own kids and fur babies to keep yours company. I can crate you pets if needed. Our Rickey loves to play and Frank loves to chill.

Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Nicolaus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,216 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Nicolaus. 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 Nicolaus 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 1,216 sitters in Nicolaus, 88% 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.
