“Davisha watched our dog, along with a couple others on the same day. I'm glad my dog had some furry friends to play with.. he was definitely tired after! There was plenty of space on their home and yard. Davisha was great with him and seemed to know what she was doing. Got some videos and pictures throughout the day, which was nice!”
“Definitely recommend. My dogs were very happy and relaxed at Audra's. I felt comfortable leaving them and everything went perfectly. We have been to doggy daycare with Audra three times and would return without hesitation.”
“Great communication and felt that my pug Odin was taking well care of. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. It was so nice having a tired dog after work. Will definitely book again and highly recommend.”
About: (Provided details for breeds of pets I cannot watch at the bottom) (Note for new families: I am able to do on base and off base services) I love furry, feathery, and scaly friends to the moon and back! I have an open schedule, and I try to be as accommodating as possible. I grew up with what I feel is almost every type of animal imaginable, so nothing gets past me. I have also grown up around many litters of puppies, so I have experience bottle-feeding and attending to needs. I also have dealt with animals diagnosed with dementia and other health problems they just need a little extra love and time is all! I also have handled disabled pets including missing appendages and paralysis. I love being able to give pets the attention and time they need and deserve while the owners can be worry-free. Dog breeds I cannot watch in my home are pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, chow chows, and wolf hybrids. This is just part of the navy’s housing policies. Pet care is my priority! I currently don’t have a job since I just moved to this area a couple of months ago so I am completely available to give furry friends the attention they need. Since I am not in a position to take pets into my own home I try to be my absolute best wherever I am! I am a big advocate for respect not only to others but their property as well so when working with clients and their homes I hold myself to a standard of leaving everything as it was unless specifically told otherwise. Doing this can also help me build trust with the pet simply as an acknowledgment that I understand that it is their territory and I am in their space.
“We did a same day drop off and our Misha was accommodated and taken good care of (while we went to Sequoia's trails )..Guadalupe was great ! Sent pictures and was always communicating with us ! We loved the experience..”
“Heather is great! She is very flexible with my work schedule. Vidar loves his days over there and she is very welcoming providing great care and many pictures of your pets day. I’m very worry free when he is with heather.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. Been around many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I have done pets sits up to two weeks in the owners home with multiple dogs at once as well as homes with both cats and dogs. Currently a Stay at home Wife with open availability. Just looking for a little extra Income and any excuse to meet new four legged friends. I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. One male Newfoundland and one female Pomeranian. Both are fixed and very sociable and friendly with other animals. In my home dogs get let out first thing in the morning and roughly every 2-3 hours during the day until bedtime around 10-11 pm. When caring for pets in others homes I follow whatever schedule and needs are specified by the owners. I have lots of availability and am flexible to whatever the pet needs.
About: 🌟 What Sets Me Apart: Attentive, Heat-Conscious Care & Pug-Approved HospitalityMy pet care experience is rooted deeply in the daily love and specialized care I provide for my own beloved pug, Benito, who is turning four this October! Raising a flat-faced breed in Fresno has given me critical, hands-on experience in keeping dogs safe, happy, and healthy. Flat-Faced & Heat-Sensitive Care: I am highly experienced in monitoring breathing, energy levels, and heat exhaustion. Bilingual & Smart Communication: Benito is fully bilingual, understanding commands in both English and Spanish! Food-Motivated Positive Reinforcement: Benito is highly food-motivated and loves his tricks. I excel at using pet-safe treats, positive praise, and structured rewards to keep guest dogs feeling confident, comfortable, and motivated in my home. A Built-In Best Friend: Benito is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He provides a calm, low-stress environment for guest dogs who need a gentle companion to lounge with while I study. 📅 How Pet Care Fits Into My RoutineBecause I study from home full-time, my schedule is incredibly stable, flexible, and entirely open for pet care! Your furry friend will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant companionship throughout the day. My routine revolves around my own pug, Benito, and keeping him safe from the intense Fresno summer heat. Your pet will seamlessly join our daily routine: Morning Exercise: We wake up early to catch the coolest part of the day, heading out for morning walks before the pavement heats up. Daytime Study Buddies: During the scorching mid-day hours, your dog will relax inside a fully air-conditioned home with Benito and me. They can lounge on the cool floors right next to my desk while I study. Evening Wind-Down: Once the sun goes down and temperatures dip, we head out for final evening walks and backyard potty breaks before settling in for a quiet night. As a dedicated pet caregiver, your dog's safety and emotional well-being are my absolute top priorities. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind, which is why I focus on structured care, constant communication, and a secure environment.
“Veronica was very responsive, took my fur-baby on short notice, I received a picture of him shortly after drop, upon pick up he was happy and all ready to go! From start to finish Veronica made all transitions smooth. 🐾”
“This is our second time scheduling daycare with Kara and we can tell the pups love it! She’s very flexible which we truly appreciate and is very kind and patient with our energetic Corgis. Our go-to for boarding and daycare needs. Thank you, Kara and family! 🐾”
“This is our second time with MJ and my dog is suuuper excited to see him. I have a high energy dog and she has so much fun with MJ each time. She doesn't even want to leave him haha Highly recommended!”
About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
“Krystle was great since the beginning! She took us the same hour we searched for her on a Sunday. Krystle updated us with pictures and nice comments about our dog. We saw that she has a LOT of experience with dogs. Our 10yr old Golden Retriever came back happy! We would come back and recommend her to any of our friends.”
“Derek is an amazing find. Very easy going and confident with animals of all sizes. We were delighted that our dog had such a good experience. Derek just genuinely cared for our dog the way we would care for him at home—attentive to his food, his water, his energy level, his comfort with the environment. 5-star experience across the board in every category. Thank you, Derek!”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate and attentive pet caregiver with 5+ years of personal experience and 1 year of professional dog-sitting under my belt. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from high-energy pups who love a good run, to mellow seniors who just want a snuggle buddy. One of my own dogs experiences focal seizures, so I’m very familiar with providing calm, capable care in medical situations. I’m also experienced with administering medications (pills, drops, etc.) and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable during the process. My dog Mr. Peanutbutter has had bad experiences with larger dogs so I understand pups who need a little extra care with anxiety. I’ve worked with a variety of animals, including ducks, and I’d be happy to check in on other pets (like cats, birds, or small animals) or care for your plants while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, an energetic walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, responsibility, and plenty of love to every visit. I treat every animal like they’re my own—and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is my passion and my full time focus while saving up for higher education. Pet care is what I'm focused on when not studying. I only have late night class for 2 hours 1 night a week and at home studying so I have much time to focus on specific needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Riverdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 302 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Riverdale. 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 Riverdale 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 302 sitters in Riverdale, 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.
