“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”
“Hui-Min is an excellent sitter! She was very kind and thoughtful. My dog immediately felt at ease with her and settled in quickly. She sent some nice updates and it was clear that he had a great day with her. I’d definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Wenxin took wonderful care of Moscow! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear that Moscow received lots of attention and outdoor time. If we ever need a sitter again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her!”
About: I’m a responsible, dedicated animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a former dog owner, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats—giving me a well-rounded understanding of their different needs and personalities. My partner, Heber, is also experienced in caring for pets and is included on my profile. We work together to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and at home. We’re attentive to details, follow care instructions closely, and have experience with basic training, administering medication and always prioritizing your pet’s happiness, health, and routine. We love staying active with pets through walks, park visits, and playtime, making sure they stay happy and well cared for. I believe in taking care of pets as if they were a part of my family because they are yours! I am looking forward to being able to help out you and your pet and meeting a new friend! I currently work full-time but have the flexibility to work remotely on certain days. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to wake up early to feed, walk, and care for your fur baby, making sure they stay on their routine and feel well taken care of. I’m happy to care for your fur baby based on their specific routine and needs. I have experience administering medication, providing walks as needed, and crate care when required. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their usual routine and giving them the care and love they’re used to.
“Michael is such an amazing dog care provider. He really tunes in to the needs of your dog and is very pleasant to work with. He was kind, accommodating and friendly with me and our dog. He sent great photos, and was very communicative about how the visit was going and afterwards. We will enjoy a visit w Michael and his cute dog soon! You can feel confident that Michael will take very good care of your doggy! Liza”
About: Your pet is in good hands. I'm an owner of a rambunctious two year old Bernedoodle named Sunny. I helped take care of my disabled neighbors dog for 2-3 years as a teen before before becoming a dog owner of my own. I can offer walks tailored to your dogs energy whether that be a brisk neighborhood stroll & playtime or a calm sniff & relaxed walk. I can help with training puppies and administer medication. You'll receive reliable, safe and fun care with regular photo updates! I'm available everyday 8 am to 10 pm. If I am doing overnight then I'm available for around the clock care. I'm flexible as I committing to animal care full time. I have a large backyard with grass that is fenced in. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood with not a lot of traffic. I have all the items your dogs needs (toys, a crate and even food if needed). Our dog Sunny is friendly and playful with other dogs.
“Eileen and Rolando are amazing! We did a meet and greet with my pup and Toro before our weekly dog day care, very friendly invited us right in. Toro is a sweetheart and I'm glad my pup has a cheerful bud to hang with during the day. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and they take them out a couple of times, so plenty of attention and entertainment. Thank you both!”
“Max always has a good time when staying with Gail. He's always in a good mood when he comes back home. Gail does not fail to update us with photos throughout the day. She's also very flexible especially with same day booking. She is now our go-to person for our cockapoo Max. Till next time!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.
“Jacqueline is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about her. She has watched Palmer multiple times and he absolutely loves her. I honestly think he likes her more than me. She is communicative, flexible, so kind and caring and treats Palmer as if he were her own. I feel so comfortable any time Palmer is with her and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Christiano is great with our dog. He is such a nice guy and you can tell he really cares about animals. We feel comfortable leaving our boy with him and know he's in good hands. It's really nice to have someone we can rely on when we need a dog sitter. He even was able to take our dog last minute/day of when we needed someone. Our dog also has some specific needs and Christiano is always accommodating. Definitely recommend him and his team!”
“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”
“Very Grateful! We were commuting to watch our son’s game, and our pet sitter canceled on us last minute. I contacted Leslie in the early morning and she promptly accepted. I can tell Rex had a great time with Leslie and family. They were very caring, professional and friendly.”
About: I grew up in Chile with three dogs — a Husky, a Chow Chow, and one mixed breed. I’m a retired news photographer and lifelong dog lover. Active, reliable, and weatherproof — from fast hikes to relaxed walks, I make sure your dog gets their perfect walk. Based in Point Richmond. Pet care is my full-time job, so your dog’s walk is my priority. Fast, slow, or somewhere in between — I handle it all. Give me a call, and we’ll get your pup on the schedule. Rain or shine, no excuses. I let dogs sniff and explore but never eat anything off the ground. I watch their behavior, adjust pace if needed, and allow safe interaction — no fighting. Small treats and water are always available. No poop is left behind. I can also babysit up to two small dogs at my place per client.
About: My wife and I have a chihuahua/mini-pincher mix. We also work with a local adoption agency and have fostered 6 dogs. We love spending time walking, training and nurturing dogs. We are also a go-to family for our close friends that need dog sitting care. What sets me apart is my commitment to personalized, high-quality care that prioritizes your dog’s emotional and physical well-being above all else. Whether you have a high-energy puppy requiring consistent house training and socialization or a senior dog needing gentle mobility assistance and medication administration, I have the specialized skills to meet their unique needs. Beyond the basics of walking and feeding, I provide daily photo updates and structured mental stimulation to ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and engaged until you return home. I work part time, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your dogs. If I'm not available, my wife Andrea will fulfill all the necessary requirements that will keep your dog feeling loved, nurtured and safe. We have several crates if your dog is in need of one. We have a fenced in yard with a plenty of room for exercise. We also have a chihuahua/mini-pincher mix that is dog friendly and will provide company to your dog if needed.
“Such a sweet, attentive, and accommodating couple. My pup absolutely loved being under their care and didn’t want to go home! Highly recommended and will be our go to in the future. Thank you Radha!!”

Claudia is wonderful! Olive is anxious and has some separation anxiety. Claudia took time out of her own day to meet Olive ahead of her doggy day care and it made all the difference. Olive had a great time and I received plenty of updates/photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Richmond on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Richmond 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 4,326 sitters in North Richmond, 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.
