About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and know how to keep them happy. I dog sit my friends and family’s pets at my home whenever I get the chance. I am free on the weekends and look forward to go on walks and play with Daisy and our guest puppy. On Friday I’m free starting at 3 PM . My 13 and 9 year old daughter and son love to play with dogs. I have a large, fenced, grassy backyard and a doggy door so your dog can play in my yard whenever they want. There are no objects or anything for your dog to step on or eat in my house or backyard - it’s perfectly safe and puppy proofed here!
“My Siberian Husky came back very happy and tired from a fun full day! I really appreciated that he got a long walk first thing and had company and play time all day in a safe, clean house. Really gave me peace of mind and helped me out with my after-work evening errands to have a calm tired dog.”
“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
“Sammy had a great time with Ash! He has separation anxiety so it can be hard for us to feel comfortable leaving him, but Ash took the time to answer all our questions and let us look around at the meet and greet. Sammy was so happy to see her for his first daycare and came back happy and relaxed! We look forward to more visits 💕”
“I was very happy with how Yu-Shu took care of Guduchi. She was flexible with my hours and kept me updated throughout the day. Her kids also loved my puppy and that was great. We already have another booking with Yu-Shu and I would trust her with my puppy”
“Susan was wonderful with Charlie! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Susan immediately put us at ease. She is such a sweet and caring person, and Charlie warmed up to her quickly. Susan sent updates and adorable photos throughout the day, took Charlie on walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was safe and comfortable in her home. She was very responsive, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions about Charlie’s routine and preferences. Her calm, loving energy truly stood out❤️ Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and I absolutely trust Susan to watch him again. She is reliable, kind, patient, and cares for pets like family. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter who will give their dog the love and care they deserve.”
“Pawparents dropped off for a playdate while attending a wedding. Rocky enjoyed his stay with Maya and other pup friends. Maya sent plenty of updates/pictures. She was very communicative and friendly. Highly recommended!”
About: I’m a reliable, patient, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, medication, exercise, and maintaining consistent routines. I work remotely, so I’m home and available every day, which lets me easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and check-ins without scheduling conflicts or time limitations. I primarily offer boarding in my home, where pets have a safe, large fenced yard to play and relax. I follow each owner’s instructions closely for feeding, routines, exercise, and comfort. Pets get supervised outdoor time, regular attention, and a calm, clean environment so they feel at home while you’re away.
“Yoshi had another great stay overnight with Benjamin and Qiyun! Really appreciate all the updates throughout the day and how very attentive they are with Yoshi! Amazing care and communication, thank you!”
“Clara was wonderful and very communicative throughout the whole day with Tofu. You can tell she really truly cares not just for her dog, but every dog. She is very sweet and kindhearted and Tofu had a blast staying with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day as well which I really appreciated and spent lots of time with him. We will be in touch soon again, thank you!!”
“Puja took care of Maple during one of our busy Sunday's. She also picked and dropped Maple as we we completely swamped. She made sure to keep a meet a greet ahead of time and opened her door to show us around and introduced us to her lovely furry baby Duchess. She took note of things related to Maple's health and routine. That gave us great comfort while leaving Maple to her for the the first time. Maple had a great time at her place. She came back home happy and tired after all day play. Puja shared lots of pictures of Maple's stay which shows how much fun she had. Would surely be going back to her if we ever need help with Maple.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and a few cats!) for about 10 years now. I always treat the pets I watch as if they were my own! I’m on the UCSC track and cross country team which means I’m pretty active, so if your pet loves long walks or runs, I’m all about it!! I’ll be available in Livermore this Summer from June 28-August 2nd **Boarding & Day Care: I have 2 cats at home so only cat-friendly dogs please! I’ll be available in Santa Cruz starting August 17th! I’m a college student, so during the school year (August-June), outside of going to class, I’m home most of the time! That means I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I just recently adopted 2 kittens and have been loving getting to learn the adorable quirks of cats, so I’d absolutely love to look after your cats as well ☺️ When I visit your pet in your home, I ensure all instructions are followed, everything is all cleaned up, and your pet is happy & loved!
“Grace took very good care of Willow and posted frequent updates with pictures. She took her out for multiple walks. Willow looks happy and playful after coming back, so she definitely had a great time with her and her family. Thanks, Grace!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for them. When I was younger, I attended an SPCA summer camp where I learned about animal care and responsibility, which helped grow my passion for pets. I grew up around dogs and had my family dog for 16 years, helping with his daily care and giving him lots of love and attention. He was my best friend and I loved him more then anything. I have also worked as a nanny and often cared for the families' dogs when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with dogs. I am patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own. I truly love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a very flexible schedule and do school online so I am open all the time to help you with your any of your animal needs! I have a house where I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I have a spacious house and a huge backyard where dogs can play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I make sure they have constant supervision, fresh water, regular feeding schedules, and lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I prioritize their comfort by providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.
“Sunayana was amazing! Newton had so much fun around her and the kids. She did work with him on leash pull and suggested few things that was really helpful!! Would love to board him again.”
About: I have two babies boys myself: a corgi and a mini goldendoodle, and have been sitting dogs for friends and others. I know how to take care of dogs, not just feeding and walking them, but also genuinely caring for them, taking them out for fun, playing with them and mental development. On my wfh days I take dogs out for a walk around lunchtime, and park playtime before dinner, and play with them throughout the day during my breaks from work! I have a spacious house with fenced backyard, two dogs to keep your baby company. I have experience taking care of up to 4 dogs at the same time, managing conflicts, supervising play and treats. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our house - couch, bed, office, backyard, chairs, bench, wherever they’re comfortable!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 2 years, including dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I make sure each fur baby feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving lots of cuddles! I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated every step of the way I’m working part-time, which means I have plenty of quality time to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays after 2pm, and fully open on weekends for boarding and longer stays. Whether your pup loves playtime or just needs cozy company, I’m here to fit your schedule and keep them happy. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of affection and attention to their needs. I closely follow any routines, feeding instructions, or training cues you rely on at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasanton
April is super kind and accommodating. Luma came back home very happy and I'm very happy to have found her. She provided ample of pictures of her interaction with Luma which definitely gave me great peace of mind as Luma is a 9-month puppy experiencing his very first daycare session. I will definitely be requesting her again!

Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mindy. She has been watching my golden retriever, Rosie, for the past few months, and today was her last day before Rosie’s surgery tomorrow and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through this time without her. From day one, Mindy treated Rosie like her own. She is kind, patient, incredibly reliable, and so attentive to Rosie’s needs. I always felt completely at ease knowing Rosie was in such loving and capable hands. Mindy kept me updated, made sure Rosie was comfortable and happy, and genuinely cared about her well-being. Having someone you trust during such an important and emotional time is priceless, and Mindy has been that person for us. I am beyond grateful for everything she has done for Rosie and for our family. Any pet would be so lucky to be cared for by her. I recommend Mindy wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
Pooja was great with Mochi! She was understanding about Mochi’s quirks and handled her well and made her feel comfortable by letting her sniff and hang around freely in her house. She also got to meet Duchess and other doggo friends. She updated us regularly with pictures and at the end of the day gave us a detailed update about how the boarding went! Mochi is definitely looking forward to her next staycation with Pooja and Duchess!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Oreo received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. The updates and photos throughout the day gave me so much peace of mind, and Oreo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Thank you for treating him like family — we’ll definitely book again!
Krish and Bhuvana were absolutely wonderful sitters for my dog, Chewy! They’re incredibly loving people and made Chewy feel right at home. They followed all my instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond, sending me regular pictures and videos, many of which featured their daughter giving Chewy endless snuggles and pets (he loved it!). They were so attentive that when they noticed Chewy itching a little, they proactively asked me about his ear medicine and took care of it right away. On top of that, they patiently tried different ways to get him to eat his boring prescription food, played fetch with him, took him out on daily walks (even though I hadn’t asked for that), and made sure he was always happy and cared for. The sweetest moment was when we came to pick him up. Chewy clearly didn’t want to say goodbye and went back to Bhuvana for one last pet before getting in the car. That said it all! I could tell he’s really going to miss them. I can’t recommend Krish and Bhuvana enough. They treated Chewy like family, and I’d happily book with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pleasanton on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of July 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 Pleasanton 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 5,579 sitters in Pleasanton, 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.
