“Anna was great! She was super accommodating to our change in schedule. Scrappy had a great time at her house and was definitely well taken care of. We'll definitely book again with her when we're back in Idyllwild!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. I have two dogs, Ezio and Dante, and years of experience caring for the dogs of family and friends. Im comfortable and familiar with needs like ear/wrinkle cleaning, baths, and administering medicine. I bought my house specifically for its big yard for my dogs and I would love to share the space with others. I work from home full time M-F with a super flexible schedule so i’m available on short notice and at all times during the week. I have a large fenced yard and two extremely friendly and playful dogs who would love to play with any pet im sitting for or boarding. They don’t mind doing their own thing either so i’m able to crate them or keep them in separate areas as necessary.
“We booked with Stephen & Mike somewhat last minute but we feel so blessed. I was impressed with their bio and it felt like they aligned with how we respect and treat dogs (which is like true family members). When we finally got to Palm Springs and went to drop them off the first day, it was just so pleasant. The yard is clean, the pool is accessible to the dogs, and they wholeheartedly welcome them into their home. We chatted with Mike for about 20 minutes before my husband and I left for Joshua Tree NP. They are such lovely people! Mike sent us so many pictures it was clear our pup-kids were more than happy. By the second day, they ran into the house at full speed. We are ever so grateful for their services and are disappointed that we dont live in the area to use them again. We will always recommend though.”
“I've never left my new rescue dog with anyone and I didn't think he'd do well with a lot of dogs at a normal day care because he can get overwhelmed and defensive. Judith is a dog person. She understands them and was a great sitter. Once Goedy and her dog got to know each other they played and wrestled all day! I felt very comfortable knowing he was in a safe place and also having fun. Would 1000% leave my pup with Judith again.”
“Alice and her daughter were so great and really took great care of my dog Lucia! I love that someone is always home with the dogs they care for since my pup gets nervous sometimes. Thank you for the wonderful experience”
About: For as long as I can remember we had dogs and cats in our household. I've had my own German Shepherd and pitbull now for quite some time, and I can say that truly are apart of the family As of now I have plenty of time to dedicate to this duty. I am full time student but currently in between semesters, and my reserve military requirements only takes up a bit of my schedule. Maintain a proper safe fence structure. Also a steel framed kennel that is 8x24 feet so my two dogs have plenty of space to roam about. I also allow my dogs inside at night time for a nice slumber.
“Katie took great care of our Golden Retriever Marvin She came highly recommended from friends that have used her several times. What a blessing to have found her. Our boy was completely worn out from doggy play yesterday. I thank you again Katie. Our minds were completely and ease knowing you were taking care of our special boy.”
“Andranise was communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and Getty came back each time tired but happy which is all we could ask for. Andranise was a great solution for us coming in from out of town without time to onboard to a traditional daycare and I’d definitely book again.”
“Tony took care of my sweet girl during our stair at Palmer Springs it was so good to find him as Tala sitter as he treated with care and love towards my pup. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you, Tony!”
“Jon with Doggie Zen Resort was fantastic with my dog, Jade. He truly understands dog behavior and keeps all his doggie boarders safe and manages their needs based on their personalities. His home is best suited for trained, well-balanced dogs.”
“We are happy to find Geraldine. She has a dog friendly home with secure outdoor space. Bliss was worn out by lots of running and playing with little Reese. We will be back!”
“This was my first time to ever leave my pup in a daycare. I hesitated to do so but Dennis made me feel comfortable in trying it out. He’s great! I was updated about my pup all the time.”
“My dog must have felt really comfortable because she caught a few bad habits I need to address that I hadn’t known of before the dog sitting and am very grateful she cared so much about him to motive and keep me informed. Fun house and cute cuddle and couch time”
“Our Benito had a blast with Eric! We loved all the updates, and based on how tired he’s been since he got home you can tell he got lots of attention & activity! Highly recommend!!”
“Kevin was so great with our Frankie! He watched him for two days while we were in Palm Springs and he had a great time. Kevin was also super communicative before and during the stay which we appreciated. Frankie looks forward to coming back to see Kevin again”
“We will be a repeat client for sure. They were great with my playful dog and awesome with communicating about updates with pictures, so we really appreciate that. Thank you 👍🏼”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Pine Wood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 652 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pine Wood. 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 Pine Wood 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 652 sitters in Pine Wood, 91% 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.
