“Yajaira is amazing, communicative and wonderful. She would give us updates with messages and pictures. She made it feel very safe to have our dog in her care. Would highly recommend.”
“Susie immediately responded to my inquiry for dog sitting with less than two days notice and she quickly scheduled a Meet & Greet. She was VERY attentive to our Aussie throughout his time with her (about 6 hours) and took him out on a number of walks during the day. She shared great photo updates and was a very good communicator during the Meet & Greet and when sharing information about his day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Emma is the best! She took great care of Wally - he had so much fun being outdoors, going on hikes and staying active with his new buddy! He came back very happy and clearly had a wonderful day. He was sad to say goodbye at the end of the day.”
“Natasha was very welcoming for my 3 dogs and for me and my daughter. We spent some time together and we had chance to see how our dogs started to interact with other dogs. When we left, our dogs didn’t even noticed we were gone since they already got busy sniffing others and getting to know the dogs team :) During the stay Natasha sent me pictures of my dogs and reported how are they doing. I highly recommend Natasha for your pets care needs.”
“Loving, Attentive, Trustworthy, and Caring Princess had a great time with Ghazal and her husband! I could tell when I picked her up that not only was it a good fit but they both enjoyed their time together which meant so much to me. My girl only smiles like that when it’s real so it made my heart beam with joy knowing how much you liked each other. Thank you for the meet and greet the day before, accommodating a last minute request, excellent communication, the photos, being so flexible and patient. You are a dream sitter. We would definitely hire you again if you will have us.”
About: Hi! I’m Angelika, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’ve loved animals my whole life. Growing up, our family home was full of pets, from rodents like mice, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to rabbits, cats, turtles, parrots, and a dog I adored who passed away three years ago. I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats since childhood, including helping my grandmother and neighbors with their pets, walking them and spending time with them whenever needed. Right now I don’t have a pet of my own because I’m traveling a lot, but I’d love to help care for other people’s furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and I love spending time with animals. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them lots of love while you’re away! I am currently looking for a full-time job and I'm pretty flexible. In the meantime I have plenty of free time so I’m available to take care of your pets anytime! 😊 I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions, give plenty of attention, play, and walks, and keep everything clean and secure 🫶🏼
“I’m so happy that Dawn has the patience for my senior dog. Stan has now visited Dawn three times and he is getting more comfortable every time. Dawn has gone above and beyond to ensure Stan’s is welcome in her home.”
“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.”
“Save me from a last minute booking. I loved leaving my sweet girl with Sofiya, Nina came out super happy. Definitely will come back and recommend. Thanks so much for loving my pup Sofiya!”
“Nadia was reliable and I felt very safe leaving my puppy in her hands. She picked him up every morning at 9am, brought him to her home and returned him at 5pm. He had fun and got to play with other dogs and Nadia gave me peace of mind sending pictures and updates throughout the day. Thank you Nadia for an excellent job!!”
“Mary and her daughter are an amazing care team. Our Dane was happy and well exercised when we we picked him up. He gets lots of people time, and especially enjoyed Mary's cooling mat for dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Kate is the absolute best! We are happy with her watching our pup, Teddy. She takes great care of him and she treats him like he is her own. She is great at communicating and she keeps us updated on how he is doing while he stays with her. I cannot rave about her enough. I highly recommend having her watch your fur baby.”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Parker this afternoon. It was great to see her socializing with other dogs. We appreciated you sending pictures and videos during her stay.”
“So glad we found Shannon and Chris!! They are clearly dog people and made our pup feel right at home. He can have his quirks so we’re grateful that they were so understanding and easygoing. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Natalia is reliable, responsive and a great host. She is extremely flexible, loving and kind. My pup Sam had a wonderful time. She made him feel right at home and took great care of him. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Natalia and Chester!”
“Kai was awesome. He was sitting another dog and made the trip out to me to introduce our dogs to ensure they got along. He is very quick with replies and has a great environment with yard for the dogs. Will not hesitate to Use Kai in the future”

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!
Mazi is new to doggy daycare. We had a meet & greet in advance, so Mazi could become familiar with a new place. Natalia took her for a long walk shortly after drop off and provided reassurance when anxious. She also kept us updated throughout her stay, including pictures. Mazi had a good time, and was tired from the new adventures & stimulation. We will definitely book 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.
Julia was very prompt when I contacted her on the day I urgently needed help for my dog. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and truly took great care of my furbaby as if it were her own. She was attentive, gentle, and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals really showed, and it gave me so much peace of mind. I’m happy to know that I have someone I can truly rely on whenever we are in town. I am truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pasatiempo on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,983 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pasatiempo. 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 Pasatiempo 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 1,983 sitters in Pasatiempo, 88% 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.
