“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Thiago! As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them since childhood. My family has always had dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m proud to turn that lifelong passion into a career, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🐾 We’re a family home where everyone is passionate about dogs! I’m home full time so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. We treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay 🥰 I have a big fenced yard, turfed and lotta space for your puppy, I have a friendly dog so is a good company to have fun!! Our home is located only 4–5 minutes from the SFO airport which makes drop-off and pick-up super convenient for travelers. We also know that life can be unpredictable, whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic, or last-minute changes, we’re flexible and always do our best to adjust accordingly. My sister has been a professional dog sitter for years, but she’ll be taking a few months off for an upcoming foot surgery and recovery. I recently moved in to help her, and caring for dogs is now my full-time job. If you’re here from her profile, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and continue providing the same loving, safe and home away from home experience! ❤️
“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!”
About: I adopted my first rescue puppy over 19 years ago. Our most recent adoption turned out to be quite the handful. She's extremely reactive and is very anxious around strangers. I've learned so much from caring for her that I know I can care for any dog no matter their personality. I work from home so I'm available everyday and on the weekends too. I'm also self-employed so I set my own schedule and can take walk breaks whenever I like. Our house has a fully fenced in backyard. We also have an extra room that's separate from the rest of the house if your dog needs their own space.
“I’m a first time Rover mom and found Jade L to be a gem! She was super understanding and accommodating of my changes due to family emergency. Then, talk about LOVE she provided my fur babies…Jade L is hands down awesome and has a big and soft heart for ! She took care of Alex and Sky as if they were her own. She sent photos and text to keep me informed of unusual behavior (ie, whimpering) and she also provided a report out at end of day/pick up time. I appreciate you, Jade! Thank you so much!”
“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 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.
“We're ongoing clients of Gordon & Allison with multiple day sittings. We appreciate Gordon's patience with our senior dog and his sincere interest in wanting her to have a good experience in their home. He was kind in ensuring perishable food was kept chilled when our dog didn't finish her meal. We're so glad we found such trusted sitters.”
“Amazing sitter. She communicated often which was great and sent lots of pictures. I trust her 100% with my fur baby. I was completely relieved knowing Simba was in such good hands. Thanks again we will be back again soon!”
“Marie was so great with Winston! I could tell he immediately felt comfortable and safe with her! She also sent many updates so I knew how he was doing. I definitely will bring him back, thank you again Marie!”
About: I love any kind of pets, they are like the best thing in the world. I have them a lot of patience and I’ll follow any instructions that you give me. I have some regular pets booking already, I’m at home most of the time but like to fix my day to do multiple walks in the day. I like to follow instructions and be as respectful as I can, I have fenced yard and I can give them two walks a day.
“We had a nice meet and greet, and Shao asked good questions about our dogs and their habits. Pick up and drop off were very easy and we got lots of pictures of our dogs enjoying their stay!”
“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”
About: I adopted my cat Juju from the SF SPCA and he was labeled as unfriendly. He also required medication. Now he has blossomed into the sweetest loving cat and loves to be cuddled and petted. He's super playful and does not require medication anymore. I always cat sit for my friends when they’re traveling or out of town. My cat Juju is very friendly with other cats and loves to play. I‘m a remote employee and work from home everyday so I love having pets at home. The more cats the better :) please let me know if you have any special requirements for your cat or if they require any medication. My home is perfect for pets. There is plenty of space for cats to run around. My cat always has fresh water in his water fountain. He eats well and gets lots of treats. We have an automatic litterbot which makes things easy to clean and I have an air purifiers in every room.

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!

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 4,277 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.
