About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I treat them like my own, taking time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m great with all ages—from playful puppies who need guidance and fun, to senior pets who need a slower, gentle, and caring touch. I always adjust to their needs and personality. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry baby is safe, loved, and in good hands. Taking care of pets fits easily into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I love going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, giving cuddles, sticking to their feeding routine, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I also love sending photos and little updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.
“Jeffery was fantastic. Our puppy is very skittish and doesn’t take to new people easily. By the end of doggy daycare, she was letting him pet her and feed her treats. This speaks volumes! It is clear from all interactions with Jeffery that he’s a very caring individual that puts your pet first and foremost. Would definitely recommend. Also his dog Barney was the cherry on top! Both dogs loved to play together.”
“Amaru had a great time. Cynthia sent pictures, videos, and kept us updated throughout the day. She brought Amaru to his favorite place, Fort Funston! Amaru met new friends and had a great time! Thank you, again, Cynthia & family!”
“I was a bit anxious on leaving King and Scruffy, especially Scruffy because he was rescued from a very abusive home, but after the pictures that were sent and how happy Scruffy and King looked when I picked them up, I couldn't be happier!! Thank you for the pictures!! Looking forward to the next time; in 2 weeks ;)”
“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”
“Jessica was great with her communication and follow up before, during and after I stay. It was obvious she enjoys caring for dogs! She sent lots of pictures during the day. Great job!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. My two recents are Cow and Calf. Cow is a Saint Bernard/german shepherd mix and Calf her son we bred with a Mastiff. I have them trained and capable for any situation. I spent arduous hours training them to be farm hands and hunters. We have a loving home and now reside in Pacifica, CA. I have careers that allow me to be present at home with them and I want to extend that loving, caring and supportive home environment to your dog(s). They won’t have a single day without fun or socialization if they’re with this pack. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I walk my two dogs about 2-4 hours every day hiking through the Pacifica hills near Mori Point or taking the dogs to the beach. My dogs and I are best friends. We are almost always together and when I’m out handling client calls they are with me. I give them hours of play outside at the beach and mountains daily. These spoiled pups eat an organic whole food diet and have a vast collection of toys they are very happy to share with a play mate. Dogs are welcome in our home and I would gladly take heed of any and all requests from a client in my home or theirs! We would treat a client’s home like our friend and Family’s to ensure it’s as good or better than when I arrived.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old, and have had cats and dogs for my entire adult life. I have helped friends and family take care of their pets for just as long. I love animals, and their well-being is my utmost priority. I have extensive experience and knowledge on what pets need from experience with my own pets and taking care of pets for others. When I am traveling or need to be away from home for any reason, my main concern is always whether my cats and dogs are happy and getting everything they need. My mission is to do everything I can to give you the worry-free experience I would want myself. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible around what you and your pet(s) need. I am available at most times of the day and on weekends/holidays. I understand that every pet’s need can differ based on the situation. I will care for your pet according to his/her individual need.
About: Natural dog whisperer. Meet my dogs and you'll see. They were both rescues with issues but are now great. Every dog I've dog sat or walked has now become a repeat customer or booked another stay this summer! We go to the dog park everyday and at least 1 super long walk. I'm a former research engineer and now just spend my days with my dogs. Figure we could use some company going to the dog park and dog beach I have an apartment with patio. I take my dogs out very often because I prefer being outdoors and exploring nature and all the trails
“Irene loves dogs so much and is so attentive to dogs’ needs! She is so patient with dogs like mine that can be a little needy or a bit troublesome at times. She’s a great choice for watching all kinds of dogs but especially ones that need just a little bit more attention.”
“Genuine people in this world are truly rare treasure! We rescued Rocco from the SPCA and quickly realized he could not be left at home alone while we went to work. I found out about this app a few days later and downloaded it. We were SO nervous leaving Rocco with new people after we just got him, but at the meet and greet Rocco warmed up to Gordon and Allison quickly. My partner are I felt so reassured that Rocco would be safe and cared about. Gordon and Allison are truly the most kind human beings my partner and I have met in a really long time. We were so grateful to find them. They will absolutely take the care of your dog. They took the BEST pictures of Rocco during the day too! My work schedule changed and we no longer need their services. Give them a try, we absolutely loved them and you and your pup will too! 🐾❤️”
“Shao Er always takes such good care of our pup, so much so that she is excited to be dropped off and sad to be picked up! We're repeat customers and are glad to continue to be repeats.”
About: Hi there! I’m Rosanne, a lifelong dog lover and former pet parent to a sweet senior corgi who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. Caring for her through her golden years — from managing her special diet to giving medications and lots of love — taught me how to be patient, attentive, and deeply in tune with a dog’s needs. Whether your pup is an energetic youngster or a gentle senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home four days a week with a flexible schedule, which allows me to take your pup on regular walks and let them out as often as they need. On days I’m caring for your dog, I’ll adjust my schedule to stay home so they’re never left alone. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re at my home or in yours. In your home, I follow your routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. At my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, walks, and exercise to match their energy level. Communication is key, so I always send updates, photos, and notes to keep you connected while you’re away.
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
“Cristina helped me out with my 4 month old puppy for two days while I had to attend a remote workshop. She was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, gave great updates and pictures, and Maple had a great time! It's not easy looking after a puppy - thank you so much, Cristina!”
“Tony and Alicia are very responsive. They answered my questions really quickly and sent pictures throughout the day. Snowy is shy with strangers. So it was really great to see her relax at their place.”
About: I have been around dogs the past 20 years of my life. 5 years ago we introduced a new furboy into our home to make our family complete. Now I’ll like to open my doors again to help care for your beloved furbaby! We would like them to feel like it’s a home away from home. I am a stay at home mom looking to help love on your furbaby while you’re away. Opening my home filled with love and nurture while in our care. Our home has a fenced backyard where your furbaby can play & exercise, & use the bathroom. Neighborhood is really quiet and friendly where my children and I go out to take them for walks.

Henrianna was very accommodating and was very responsive for a last minute booking we made! Henrianna made sure we had enough time to ask questions prior to our doggy daycare reservation booking. Updates and photos/videos of our beagle pup Lemmie were received frequently throughout the day. Lemmie had a great time! He misses his new doggy/kitty friends!
It was my first time using doggy day care for my 8 month golden retriever Sunflower and everything went smooth with Felix! Since it was my first time, I had a couple phone calls with Felix before the actual day and he answered all my questions. I dropped Sunflower off in the morning on my way to the office and picked her up after work. Thank you Felix!
We had such a wonderful experience with Tara! She was friendly from the start, and our dog instantly felt comfortable around her. She was flexible with our schedule, which made everything so much easier, and her communication was excellent—I felt at ease knowing our pup was in good hands. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pacifica
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pacifica on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of June 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 Pacifica 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 4,249 sitters in Pacifica, 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.
