“We had a wonderful experience with Ty and Annie. They are incredibly friendly, clearly care about what they do, and communicated with us every step of the way. They were especially understanding of our dog’s anxiety and went out of their way to help him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Marina and Kathryn are such wonderful people! They are welcoming, extremely knowledgeable with pups, and have a great doggy daycare set up. My dogs were definitely well loved and slept like babies when they got home (which made mommy very happy!). I’d highly recommend their daycare and boarding services! A wonderful plus is Marina is a dog trainer and can help train your pups while watching over them! I look forward to future training daycare sessions with her!”
About: Lived with dogs most of my life and have experience working with new born puppies to senior dogs. Most of my boarding experience is with larger breeds. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of flexibility and time. I am available regularly from 8 AM to 1 PM Monday-Friday. I am also available after 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also have availability in the evenings after 5 PM and both Saturdays and Sundays. I have a large fenced in backyard with two very friendly dogs of my own. We also have a cat in my home that gets along very well with the dogs. We also have a chinchilla, but he stays in his cage. I have multiple sizes crates available for use.
“Corinne and Christopher took great care of our Lola! They helped us out last minute and were super flexible with our pick up time due to the fact that we were moving. They are super nice and loved having her. We are super happy we found them and will definitely have them watch Lola for us anytime they want to!”
“Lisa took great care of our pup and shared pics with us along the way. Our pup looked eager to get into her house every morning, so Lisa and her dog's company must have been a joy. Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Our puppy is very shy with new people, but Jenny and Lucky had no problem making her feel comfortable. I felt relaxed because I knew my girl was truly cared for and safe. We found our perfect pet sitter. No need to look further! Thank you so much, Jenny!”
About: Hi there! I grew up with rabbits (Netherland dwarfs) and have been a personal cat owner (five cats!) for 12 years. I have nursed my cats back from surgery and just honestly adore every kind of animal. I’m great with the more nervous and anxious ones, using patience and care to gain trust. I would love to walk, play with, and care for your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for many hours. If you have shift work or a non-traditional schedule, or need me for when you travel, I would love to work with you and your animals! Whatever your home situation is, I will pay undivided attention to them and ensure their best physical and mental health while you are away! I also believe in frequent communication so that you know your fur baby is happy and healthy.
“Michelle and Steve are amazing! They are incredibly patient with my sometimes rambunctious 9 month old sherpard terrier mix. Michelle provides really thorough daily updates with some highlights and works to ensure that the behaviors that the owner is working on with their pup are followed during the stay. The icing on the cake is their pup Daisy. She is incredibly sweet and calm, and my pup Iris loves spending the day playing with her. 10/10 would recommend, and would not hesitate to book for sitting or boarding services!”
About: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Lisa came through last minute to look after Chief and Rux. Despite them being a little nervous on the first Rover visit, they loved Lisa and her ability to connect with them and spend their afternoon getting lots of love and attention. Thank you so much Lisa!”
“Gris is an exceptional dog sitter! Her sweet nature and excellent communication made our experience worry-free. Despite our slight delay in returning, she was incredibly understanding. Gris treated our furry family member with the utmost care and affection, as if our pup was her own. Her attentiveness and dedication have earned our trust completely. We're thrilled to have found such a reliable and loving sitter in Gris, and we look forward to having her as our go-to dog care provider for all future needs. Highly recommended!”

“He is literally a life saver I needed a last minute sitter and he came to the rescue for my Tito. Walked him took to park and Michael is very understanding would definitely recommend!!!”
“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”
About: My husband and I are true dog lovers, and our rescue pup, Myka, is a cherished member of our family. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. We offer a safe, loving home with a large backyard, plenty of attention, and daily walks in the canyon nearby. Myka is friendly and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when they want to play, but is also happy to give them space if that's what they prefer. Whether your dog loves adventures, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a cozy spot, we'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay. ❤️ I work from home and only work a few hours each day, which means I have plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day! We have a very cozy, dog-friendly home with plenty of toys, comfortable dog beds, and lots of space to relax and feel at home. Our goal is to make every dog feel loved, comfortable, and part of the family during their stay. I always supervise dogs carefully, both indoors and outdoors, and follow any instructions provided by their owners to ensure they remain happy, healthy, and secure. We share our home with our rescue dog, Myka, who is sweet, friendly, and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when other dogs are interested, but is also happy to give them space.
“Ebenezer and family is excellent with taking care of pets. I had to leave my dog for a day and they accommodated my last minute request. Sarge was super happy and I will definitely reach out to them again when I’m in the area.”

Jeanine really helped out me and my family on my surgery day! She was very flexible with our crazy schedule, continued to be super kind and caring to our Dylan boy, and gave me one less thing to worry about while I was in the hospital. Jeanine, you’re the best! Thank you. Thank you. 😊
Sam was so amazing with my dog!! He absolutely loved her and even ran straight into her house to play. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible. A very kind, caring and compassionate person. I cannot recommend her more highly. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I think she’s our favorite dog sitter yet!
Hi, It was my first time using Rover, and Angela's name popped up so as soon as I sent the message she turned a message stating that she is available. My dog loved it there. She played with his son chased him around the house just like he loves. Charger saying while her son played the piano. Got the cutest little video. Needless to say he was exhausted from playing so well with her kids. I would highly recommend Angela
Hanna is great. My dog Zeus stayed with her several times now and each time he was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He tends to be skeptical of strangers and stressed out by daycare, but not with Hanna. He gets to play with her dog Bigsby, plays with toys, solves puzzles, goes for walks and eventually snuggles on the sofa when he is tired. Hanna deeply cares about a dog's needs.
I appreciate the care provided for my dog at daycare by Tanya and Josh. They followed the requested schedule for walks and meals and kept me informed with photo and video updates. My dog also seemed to enjoy the time spent playing with the their dogs. Thank you for the reliable service.
Wen and Lan were wonderful! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and you can tell they clearly love dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog Chad was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. When I picked Chad up from daycare I came back to a relaxed, content pup, which says everything! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care!!
Yangyan and her dad took wonderful care of Shio! They asked about his needs ahead of time, followed his food and walk routine, and sent consistent photo updates. She was also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. Overall, we felt confident leaving Shio in her care, and he seemed to really love her as well. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Poway on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of September 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 Poway 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 3,690 sitters in Poway, 85% 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.
