“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.
About: I have 8+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Robert graciously accepted my same-day request when I needed to come to that part of town to run errands, but didn't want to leave my dog Shelby in the car all day. He was wonderfully communicative during her visit, sending lots of photo updates and video. Shelby must have had a great stay, because she slept the hour drive home in the car. I would recommend Robert's service to anyone and will definitely be returning! Thanks Robert!”
“Amazing was apprehensive leaving a loved one with someone I had never met. Was beyond happy with Rachelle. She sent updates and pics. Wasn’t sure my dog Toby was going to want to come home. He had the time of his life. Thank for treating toby as your own.”
About: Since I was just a kid, I have taken care of all sorts of dogs ranging in size and age. A lot of these have been family pets but I always make sure to respect boundaries when and if given by the animals. I maintain the comfort of the dogs and make that my priority! I'm currently a college student with all of my classes being strictly online, so I do spend a lot of time at home. I have majority of my day holding free time and I can easily fit the care of any pets alongside my schooling! I make sure to always stick by a schedule if provided. I know that animals usually have a specific feeding routine and they will let you know if you steer off of that path; I would hate to make any animals upset. For example, the cats in my home are used to being fed at night so I make sure to respect that as they will also expect food at that time.
“Sunny always has so much fun at Nadia’s! Sunny gets so excited every time we drop her off. She loves playing with her children and is worn out when we pick her up! I love knowing that she is in good hands. I would recommend her if you are looking for a safe and reliable place for your dog to stay where it gets lots of love!”
“Lori was very friendly & had great communication. My pup Jewels had a good time playing with her two sweet dogs & had plenty space for Jewels to play. She sent me photos & videos of her having a good time. Lori was very accommodating to my dog & I would highly recommend! Thanks again Lori for taking good care of my pup. 🙂”
“🐾 Five paws up for Ms. Chong! 🐾 Hi, it’s Lucky 🐶 (with Mom typing). I absolutely love staying with Ms. Chong! She’s kind, patient, and makes me feel right at home. Mom especially appreciates how flexible Ms. Chong is with her ever-changing schedule — that means the world to us. I’m always happy, well cared for, and loved when I’m with her. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough! 💙🐾”
“Sierra was great with my dog. Took her on a last minute booking and was super flexible. My dog can be anxious with new settings and she immediately connected with sierra and settled right in at the little dog haven they have created.”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Luna! The time and attention she took to get to know Luna before she took care of and her, and her responsiveness while communicating before after after I booked- I really appreciate it all!”
About: With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every animal like my own. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following specific feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily life! I offer flexible hours during weekdays and weekends to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I make sure each pet gets quality time and consistency in care, whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow all care instructions closely. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I ensure routines are kept consistent and spaces remain secure. I treat every home with respect and every pet with genuine love and attention.
About: I have had pets my entire life and I adore them! Mostly dogs, but including cats, fish and birds! Currently, I have 2 sweet dogs (one male, one female) and an indoor cat! I train my dogs (obedience and tricks) although I have never had formal training. I bathe and groom my dogs (and my cat) regularly. I do baths, cuts, trims, nails and basic ear cleaning. I have no formal training, just self taught and years of experience. I am happy to have your pets come to my home and play in my clean, safe, and fenced yard area that is totally safe and dog ready ! You're pet will receive cuddles, petting, talking to! Yes, I talk to dogs! I give lots of outside potty breaks and play time! Your dogs will be in great care and have fun! My husband and I are retired and home most days of the year!We have 2 dogs and an indoor cat who mostly lives in a bedroom! Since we are usually home, we can usually do pet sitting at short notice! Recently, we hosted a pet with a 3 hour notice! We have a very large, fenced backyard that is secure for even the smallest dogs! Dogs will play there and also inside our home where most cuddles take place! We do allow dogs on the furniture, and we do have dog beds for them to relax on. Small dogs are definitely held and loved on my lap! We take our dogs out every hour or so for potty and water breaks unless they are napping or we see that they need to go out! I have cared for a blind dog before and am capable of caring for your vision impaired angel. I have experience in caring for senior dogs as well. Both of our dogs are spayed/neutered.
“I needed a VERY last minute daycare for a fishing trip in town. Cesar was very responsive and able to confirm our booking. My fur babies had a great time with Cesar and family. I would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been pet-sitting for my neighbor for more than 18 years and I even have experience raising puppies for Canine Companions for Independence. I was also a dog walker for a brief time as well. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have plenty of time to dog/cat-sit in the afternoons and some late mornings. I’m hoping this will lead to some good opportunities. I have a fenced good-sized backyard with a dog-run and a big hill to run around. I don’t have a crate at the moment, so you will have to provide your own.
“Opie had a great experience on the farm. So many new smells and interactions that a city dog rarely gets the opportunity to enjoy. Highly recommend this if your dog is pretty chill and copes well with new environments.”
“Rachel and her daughter were godsent and so so good with my puppy. They were extremely down to earth and so understanding with our pick up time as well. I really hope we can see them again for another sitting soon! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our dogs love visiting Emily. They get so excited when we pull up! Mom and Dad get lots of photos and peace of mind. She's a great communicator and very responsible. Highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,897 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pala. 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 Pala 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,897 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
