“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”

“Sharon and Henry are great dog sitters! I really felt my dog was cared for and they sent frequent updates. Their dog is a sweetie that behaves well around other dogs. My dog came home both days exhausted from playing all day. I would absolutely recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future!”

“Sara helped my dog that I got from the shelter socialize with other dogs. He was timid and scared when I rescued him from the shelter, but being at Sara’s improved his social skills.”


About: Hi there! 💕🐾 I’m Sofia! I’m a stay-at-home mama, lifelong animal lover, and someone who has always had a soft spot for our four-legged friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas and Frenchies to Greyhounds, playful puppies, sweet seniors, and shy little pups who need some extra TLC. **When you're away, your pet deserves a little vacation of their own!** 🐾 Think of my home as Auntie Sofia's house, where your fur baby can enjoy cozy naps, neighborhood walks, couch cuddles, lots of affection, and someone who will absolutely talk to them like they're a tiny human. 😂 I know every animal has their own personality, routines, and funny little quirks. I'm happy to follow their usual schedule, including meals, medications, training cues, and bedtime routines. **Cat lover, too!** 🐱 I offer drop-in visits for nearby kitties, including feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and some good old-fashioned company. I'm also happy to discuss care for other small pets! **A little about our home:** 💗 Our home in El Dorado Hills is cozy, relaxed, and full of love! We have a sweet, curious toddler, so pets staying with us must be comfortable and gentle around young children. Safety is always my priority. I'm experienced in recognizing canine stress signals, managing challenging behaviors, and maintaining safe boundaries. All interactions are supervised, and everyone gets their own space to relax when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether you're away for a weekend or a longer trip, my goal is to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love. **A little vacation for them and peace of mind for you!** ✨ Can't wait to meet you and your little bestie! 💗 I’m a stay at home mama, so I’m home almost all the time unless my daughter has an appointment. 💕 Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, so having a pup with me feels very natural. I like to let my routine flow around the pet I’m caring for - whether they need extra walks, frequent potty breaks, medication, playtime, a quiet nap buddy, or approximately 47 cuddles before noon. 😂🐾 I’m happy to follow whatever schedule helps them feel happiest and most at home. I’m a stay-at-home mama, so I’m home with my furry guests most of the day and able to give them lots of attention, supervision, and reassurance. I’m always happy to follow special diets, medication instructions, training routines, or any other needs your fur baby may have, and I keep a close eye on them while they’re in my care. I also love keeping pet parents in the loop with plenty of photo updates and little check-ins, because nobody wants to wonder what their baby is up to. 😂💗 Whether your pet is staying with me or I'm helping, my goal is simple: keep them safe, secure, happy, loved, no matter what!

About: Hi! Feel free to check out my review and photo section!! My favorite things are audiobooks, long walks, and spending time with dogs and cats so this work feels like a perfect fit. I approach pet care as a way to support others, not just as a service. I’m not here to overcharge—I simply enjoy being someone dependable and trustworthy that neighbors can count on. I’ve been working with a few local families and recently joined Rover 🐾 Check out my photos section!! Local, reliable helping hand for pet sitting, babysitting, caregiving, and event help. I work for a property management company so I have a flexible schedule and love helping neighbors whenever they need an extra hand. My work is mostly from my laptop or phone so what works for you works for me! When caring for clients’ homes and pets, I always make sure everything is how it was left and treat it with care and intention. I respect that someone’s home and pets are very personal to them, so I make sure things stay clean, organized, and comfortable while they’re away. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home that feels just the way you left it. Whether it’s overnight care or a simple walk in the day I’m here to help out!
“We dropped off our dog at Deborah's house for dog sitting. Our dog really likes Deborah. She is kind and patient and you can tell she really likes animals. We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing with messages and pictures. It made us feel like she was in good hands. We will definitely book Deborah for more sitting soon!”

“Joseph, Catherine and the kids were so lovely! They were warm and friendly and we could tell our pup was comfortable with them from the get go which we appreciated so much. We would absolutely have Opal stay with them again!”

“Aguarin is such a nice and sweet guy. I need to find a babysitter very last minute. He replied to my daycare request right away, was super responsive and nice about everything. He also sent me timely updates during the day and my corgi looked very happy and cozy. Definitely recommend!!”

“Dude had an amazing visit with Dongjun and Minkoung and their daughter. I would highly recommend this family to anyone looking for a sitter! Dude will forsure be back for another visit”

“Jodi was an excellent sitter for our pup harley! Sent updates throughout the day, and made sure she got lots of love. Would definitely book again, and recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Leslie. She is the perfect dog sitter. Leslie was so kind and patient with my very sweet but somewhat timid little maltipoo. She has her home set up perfectly for dog care and is very flexible in meeting the needs of the dogs she watches. Her back yard is lovely and very secure. I highly recommend her.”

“Julia took the best care of our dog Gracie. In addition to the great pictures and communication, Julia took the extra time to really get to know our dog and made sure she was well cared for. Highly would recommend Julia!”

Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!

We met Irina for the first time and she watched our pup, Toby, for the day. She was super kind and communicative, and shared photos of him making friends with other dogs, which we really appreciated. Toby had a great time, and we felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,150 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rescue. 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 Rescue 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,150 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,150 sitters in Rescue, 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
