“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”
“Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had a previous boarding experience that did not go so well because the dogs in the home barked at mine the entire time he was there (days). With that information, Nicole introduced her dogs to mine one at a time. My dog spent several hours at her home and got along so well with her fur babies. It was like a great play date! I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.”

About: I have had and loved animals since I was a kid, and even more so as a responsible adult. We have a loud, rambunctious 3 year old hound/border collie mix in our home who loves other dogs and loves to play. (Hounds tend to be the most mouthy breed, and Cooper doesnt disappoint). Hes quite submissive, so he pairs well with most pups. We frequent the dog park, so we have many puppy friend. Consistency is so important for the behavior and health of your dog, so I will happily accommodate your pooches needs to their benefit. I've learned with the way our guests tend to happily (and safely) play with Cooper, that while in my care sometimes there isn't enough energy left for our routine walks. If walks are part of a training regime, please let me know so I can ensure the walks still take place. I do require a meet and greet prior to every booking. This ensures there is a good fit in personalities of pups and myself as your pup's caregiver. I apologize, but because I work from home, I cannot take in habitual barkers, or dogs who are not crate trained. If you have read this far and you use Instagram, please find me watchmywags.sacramento. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so no worries about separation anxiety, and rest assured your furry friend will stay plenty active freely roaming our home and property. I also have 3 lovely children who enjoy the company of animals. I'm happy to help out with evening walks. Let me know if there's a specific route you're using for training purposes. I will follow your lead. If theyre coming to my home to play, I have a large fenced yard with room to run. A designated crate area for sleep. I accompany doggos while they run about outside whether for pee, poop or play. I work from home, so your pup is welcome to hang with me and Coop while I work. Cooper is happy to keep your guy entertained under my supervision. Constant video monitoring in community areas as well, so safety is utmost importance. If we are visiting your home, please leave clear written instructions. I will respect your wishes as your pet companion.

About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, but as an adult I've personally adopted 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I have cared for pets at every stage of their life. I'm a freelance digital artist so my availability is open. I don't do artwork outside of my home, however. If I'm working for you that has my full attention. In my home I have a pool.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Daily walks are offered during the cooler parts of the day, typically in the early morning and again in the late afternoon or evening. Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.

About: I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals with the same love and attention we give to family. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs—from puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring special attention. I have also rescued and rehabilitated dogs and cats, ensuring they received the care, grooming, and affection needed to thrive before finding their forever homes. I’m currently available throughout the week and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet’s needs. Beginning August 22, I’ll be attending college, so there will be certain days and times when I have classes. Outside of my class schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable care and will communicate my availability clearly to ensure we find a schedule that works well for you and your pet. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or weekend services, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, loving, and family-oriented environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My home includes my 3-year-old daughter, 7-month-old son, one friendly small dog, and three cats, so I ask that any pets staying with us are comfortable around children and other animals. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.
“Ruby loved Micheal and his home. He was very friendly and a good communicator! Ruby ran up to his front door her second day there, which is always a great sign. She was well taken care of and had lots of play. We got pictures and updates during the day.”

“Leah is great and super nice. My pomeranian loves going. He has no issues there and his anxiety has become a night and day difference since going to day care with her for almost 2 months now. She's been awesome at taking care of him. And also has watched him in a pinch for me too. Couldn't imagine a better person/ family to watch him 💜”

About: Hello! I'm Kristen, a young professional with a work-from-home career and a full-time job caring for my 3 year old Golden Retriever. I have had several dogs ranging in sizes my entire life, as well as cats, birds, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. I trained my Retriever myself, and adopted him from a puppy mill rescue when he was 8 weeks old. I have been a reliable petsitter for friends and family for many years, have experience caring for rescued dogs/reactive dogs, and am excited to make more new pet friends! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I walk my own dog on my lunch break and after work, and would be able to check on/walk yours on a similar timeline! I have a fenced front yard and back yard, as well as exterior security cameras. My dog is very friendly and has been socialized since he was vaccinated and able to be introduced to other dogs.
“This was my first time using rover and I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know. Kendra made me feel comfortable immediately. She obviously loves dogs and gave my Gracie all the love and attention that she requires. The walks during the day were definitely appreciated as well. I will absolutely be booking with Kendra in the future.”

Julane was awesome throughout the whole process. Her family, including the dog Mary, was also super sweet and I immediately felt welcomed during our meet and greet, perfect for my dogs. So grateful they were available during the holiday. I will definitely book Julane again in the future.

Destiny was lovely! We needed a last-minute daycare (and I mean truly last-minute -- within hours of reaching out) and she was incredibly flexible and eager to fill the need. She reached out with updates at just the right frequency, sent amazing photos, and made sure to follow all of our guidance on Chancho's needs. She is very experienced when it comes to dogs with various needs, including our severe separation anxiety boy, and despite some truly traumatic experiences on Rover, I trusted her immediately. It was obvious Chancho was going to get the same level of care that we provide at home, and I couldn't have asked for more!!!

Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns.

I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.

Nick has done a great job dog-sitting my senior labrador retriever. He goes the extra mile by sending me pictures and updates throughout the day, and taking her on a walk around the neighborhood. Thank you for taking such good care of Dakota. Would definitely recommend Nick to others.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - North Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Highlands on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,366 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across North Highlands. 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 North Highlands 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.
