“We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.”
“Bianca was so great with Olive! Her communication and care for her was fantastic. She understood olives quirks and put our tips and commands to work. I had a last minute meeting come up and she extended the sit without issue. So happy to have found and met Bianca!”
About: What sets me apart is my 6 years of professional dog care experience, including boarding, energetic walks, and feeding, plus references from satisfied pet owners who trust my attentive service with all breeds and ages, even assisting with puppy training and senior pet comfort. 🐾 I'm pretty flexible! I have pretty much free time, so I'd love to fit in pet care. I can do early morning or late afternoon dog walks, and I'm totally game for boarding or longer visits on weekends. Whatever works best for you! My home is a cozy getaway, spaces to snooze, a big fenced yard to play, and all the love in the world. Each pet gets personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles tailored to their vibe. Think of it as a furry sleepover with lots of TLC!
“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”

“My family and I came from out of town to visit Santa Cruz for the day. We had some activities planned that weren’t dog-friendly so we left our pup, Littles, with Hannah. It was a WONDERFUL decision! We got to enjoy Santa Cruz and my pup got to enjoy a restful and loving Saturday with her. He napped, lounged, and got lots of love. You can tell he was super happy at pick up. Thank you so much, Hannah!”
“Kimberley was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our pup! We felt so comfortable leaving Hazel with her for the afternoon. She had a little set up for Hazel as soon as we arrived and took her to the park. We would trust her to care for Hazel anytime!”
“Arrow had a great time with Anna and her pup! She took the time to meet with him at a dog park she thought would be a good space for them and when they went there during their play date, they had a great time. Our dog needs some extra care sometimes, as he can be very high energy and over excited with other dogs and in new situations, and we appreciate Anna's calm demeanor and flexible attitude with him! I fully recommend her <3”

Marina was a pleasure to meet! On short notice she was able to watch our dog Sweet Pea for the afternoon while our family was out at the Boardwalk. She checked in with photos and stories of their walks in her neighborhood too. On top of that She was very graceful with us being a little outside our scheduled time for pickup. Thank you so much Marina, looking forward to having you hang out with Sweet Pea again next time we're down in Santa Cruz.
She’s amazing! Great communication! Truly cares about animals! Totally would recommend watching your animals! Was Super caring towards my dog! My dog has bad anxiety and she was great with my dog! Worked with my dogs comfortability! Just out standing over all would have her as a sitter again!
Nancy is the best! I have used her quite a few times. This last time I was going to have outpatient surgery and ended up spending the night in the hospital. Nancy was kind enough to plan ahead for having them the extra night and day. Nancy and her family give me the utmost peace of mind for leaving my 2 Bichons in her home.
Karen was a tremendous help with my need for a day sitter. She is a compassionate human and my Callie warmed right up to her. She let me know her day with a couple updates and activity log which I appreciate. Will contact her again for more day sits! Thanks Karen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Paradise Park on Rover is $40.52 per day (as of August 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 Paradise Park 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 1,975 sitters in Paradise Park, 89% 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.
