“Ariana is very friendly and takes great care of my dog. I can tell that she is a "dog" person and that she knows what she is doing and really cares. It is a bonus that she does not over-charge for her services and offers the convenient pick up and drop off services. She takes several pictures and keeps me updated, which I appreciate.”
“Julia took the best care of our dog Gracie. In addition to the great pictures and communication, Julia took the extra time to really get to know our dog and made sure she was well cared for. Highly would recommend Julia!”
“Olesia was wonderful. We dropped off our dog for around 6 hours and she was very communicative. She sent lots of photos and our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would definitely use Olesia again!”
“Wonderful experience! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Tamiko. I really appreciated the two walks and the photos you sent to keep me updated. It was clear Tamiko received lots of tender loving care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Highly recommend!”
“Derek and Leslie clearly love dogs and were patient with Ruby, who was a bit overwhelmed and grouchy when the other dogs approached her. Derek stayed in the backyard with Ruby and played on the pool with her, which is her favorite. Would definitely recommend for your more social dogs.”
“Victoria was so great! She immediately took our last minute request to watch our Banjo boy for the day! Banjo is a rescue with a history of nervous energy and she reassured us that he would be handle a compassion and care. She was frequent with descriptive updates and photos. Her patience with our sensitive pup was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking doggy-sitter services with her in the future!”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“Today was the hardest day of my life. I dropped off Chef because my mother was sent home on hospice. While Chef was there, my mother passed. Travis was so supportive, sent lots of pictures, and loved him for the day! Chef had a great time!”
“So grateful for Lucy taking on my pups so last minute. She asked lots for great questions before committing and we were able to set everything up very smoothly. The dogs did great under her care and communication was flawless throughoutthe day while they were with her. Will definitely book with Lucy again in the future and happy to find someone close by who is a safe and reliable choice for my babies.”
“Stephanie was great, she gave regular updates with pictures! Stephanie home is very inviting and her family were amazing. My puppy really enjoyed her first day. We have found our second home for our puppy when we are out of town.”
“Lucas has just been amazing. He truly cares for out big boy, his communication is spot on. Love having someone we can trust. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. JUST WONDERFUL”
About: I have always loved being around dogs, showing them love and care, and then sending them back safely to their forever homes. I grew up dog sitting for family and friends, and even taking in strays until we could find their home again. I have fostered puppies and mommies and have cared for older and special needs dogs. My partner and I have our two small terrier mixes that get along with everyone and love love. Personally, I love the "Lucky Dog" philosophy and CaliK9 approach to caring for and teaching all dogs. Pet care is usually an evening or weekend activity for me, but I will be flexible for the right fur family. Communication and prioritizing needs will always be valued. Currently not offering boarding services due to change of address and major location. When I am more familiar with our current living environment this section will be updated.
“This was my poodles 3rd stay with these two wonderful pet sitters. I want them to be available to watch my dog every time I’m in town, so I don’t want to say to many good things or everyone will want to book them and then They will not be able to watch my dog when I need them. 😃”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Orangevale
We recently had Georgi stay with Julia, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. Georgi had such a great time participating in all of the interactive activities and enrichment setups Julia provides for the dogs — you can truly tell how much thought and care goes into creating a fun environment for them. One thing I especially appreciated was the constant communication and the abundance of photos throughout the day. Seeing Georgi happy, engaged, and comfortable gave me so much reassurance knowing she was in such great hands. It’s obvious Julia genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and fun pet sitter!
I absolutely recommend Derek and Leslie!! They are genuinely caring for the pets they watch! My 12 week old puppy, Maggie, felt right at home in their house. She was closely attended to, was safe and had lots of fun playing in their wonderful backyard. Several times through Maggie’s stay, they texted photos of Maggie running, playing, napping. Derek and Leslie are outstanding dog-sitters!
Joanna is so sweet! My dog Pepper was immediately comfortable around her even though she is sometimes nervous with new people. She sent tons of pictures and videos and I could tell Pepper was very well taken care of. I’m certain I will be booking with Joanna again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Orangevale on Rover is $34 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 Orangevale 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 1,385 sitters in Orangevale, 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.
