“Tracey has been great my little Penny is always comfortable staying with her whether it is overnight or a few hours. She has been very easy to work with and you can tell she cares about the fur babies. The last time I had her watch my dog 🐶 I asked her to watch Penny for an extra couple of hours she was nice enough to allow us even though it was late. Really appreciate that I feel comfortable leaving my little girl with her.”

“Luna had a great time with Huy. He took her on walks, let her play with another dog after introducing them, and took her to the dog park across the street from his house. We would definitely use Huy again.”

“Lady is a small needy sweet dog and she gets sad when left alone. Jen and her family are absolutely the best, and Lady feels right at home. I get great updates from Jen throughout the day and I know she is well taken care of and she has fun. I'm so glad I found Jen, thanks to her care I can work without worrying about Lady being home alone.”

About: I have my own space with an easy to clean floor. I am very chill and and I'm located very near 101 and the Gilroy Outlets. I work as a in-home Care Service and I enjoy my work I worked hard enough to find time to take care of my kitten and the rest of world. Cat powers, woof! I usually let them free roam but if they have to be in the crate either you or I can use a crate for your services the usual clean floor and dog mats or dog trainer pads and kitty litter will be available respectively.
About: 👋🏼 Why did I join Rover as a sitter? Because I know how tough it is to find a trustworthy caregiver to watch over your dog, especially if they’re timid/reserved. My goal is provide a safe space for your four-legged baby to thrive while you are away and allow you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am passionate about the well-being of all pets whether they be through fostering or boarding, otherwise I wouldn’t open up my home to do this. 🗓️ I work from home full time and can give your dog plenty of attention, exercise opportunities outdoors, and cuddles at home. On the weekends, I’m either cozied up at home or taking my dogs out on excursions around the Bay Area. 🏡 I have a large fenced yard with grass and concrete. I can keep your dogs in crates, pens, in a separate room, or let them roam free inside my home if they are house trained and comfortable with that. 🙇🏻♀️ I am detail-oriented and diligent when it comes to pet care. My late dog Zooey had glaucoma and took several medications 2x a day, so I understand the importance of following a strict schedule. I’ve also had to work through my own dog’s reactivity with training so I’m very conscious of creating safe spaces for dogs and advocating for their needs, especially for the dogs who don’t want to engage in play with other dogs. 📸 I will send you a lot of adorable photos and videos throughout the day so you can see just how much they are livin' their best life. 🦴 Feel free to bring a bed, crate, favorite toy, etc - whatever items will help your pup feel comfortable!

“I had a wonderful experience booking Dante’s first ever doggie day care with Lori and Ken. Because of my schedule I didn’t get a chance to do a meet and greet but I went with my gut feeling and I wasn’t wrong!! They have a great energy and a vibe that eased my nervous about leaving my HIGH energy golden retriever for the first time. There was plenty of room in and out of the home for him to get that energy out of his system. Will definitely be booking again :)”

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.
“Mimi is a great sitter!she accommodate my hyper Cockapoo at last min and sit him for the holiday weekend. Really appreciate it! And I would love to book her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the past 25 years I’ve especially enjoyed fostering and having a multi-dog household. I’m an RN, so I’m very comfortable providing whatever care or assistance your dog may need during their stay, including medications or other special care instructions. I currently have three dogs of my own, all spayed/neutered, and they genuinely enjoy having other dogs around. I have one male who is about 45 pounds and two females who are about 25 and 45 pounds. They are an important part of our family and are very accustomed to welcoming new dogs into the house. My home is set up with dogs in mind, with plenty of space and comfortable places for them to relax, play, and have their own quiet time. I’ve learned over the years that every dog is different, and my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and peaceful environment where everyone can feel at home. I work 20–30 hours a week, primarily from mid-afternoon into the evening, so I have most of my mornings and early afternoons free to spend with the dogs in my care. I have three dogs of my own who play well together and with other dogs, but also enjoy being lounge potatoes. 🐾 When I’m at work, I leave the door to the backyard open so the dogs can go outside whenever they need to relieve themselves, get some sunshine, or simply enjoy being outdoors. Before I leave for work, we have plenty of time for exercise and fun. Depending on the weather, we might head to the beach, go for a hike, or visit the dog park. If it’s too hot or the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll take a quick neighborhood walk and then spend time playing inside or relaxing and cuddling on the couch. Over the years, besides always having a multi-dog household, I’ve fostered more than 65 dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, backgrounds, and needs. That experience has taught me how different every dog can be and how important it is to let them settle in at their own pace. I’m very comfortable helping dogs through the initial awkwardness of being away from their people and home, and I’m happy to give them the patience, reassurance, attention, and affection they need to feel comfortable. I also keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and am very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that might indicate they aren’t feeling quite themselves. My goal is for every dog staying with me to feel safe, loved, included, and like they’re having their own little vacation while their family is away. My house is definitely a dog-friendly home! My dogs are welcome on the couches and beds, and I have plenty of cozy dog beds and pillows scattered throughout the house for everyone to find their favorite spot. If your dog enjoys being around other dogs and can be trusted to have some time alone in the house, they’ll fit right in and have a fantastic time here. When I’m not at work, I spend the majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs staying with me. They are welcome to hang out wherever we are, whether that means playing together, lounging in the backyard, or snuggling up on the couch. My backyard is fully fenced with a 6-foot picket fence, and both gates have deadbolts for extra security. I also have cameras around the house so I can check in on the dogs while I’m away. Honestly, that’s mostly how I catch them stretched out on the grass with their bellies in the sun, enjoying a good afternoon siesta! ☀️🐶 I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs. I don’t mind giving medications, following special instructions, or providing extra attention and care when a dog needs it. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
“Lyan is an extremely kind and understanding person. Kuma had a great time staying in her care! We were provided pictures during his stay, and she took extra precaution to check portions of his food.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, relatives and clients for years. Our house is their pets’ second home when they travel or need us. I can do the same for you, too. During the weekend I am mostly home. Weekdays, I partially work from office and home. There is plenty of time to spend time with your pet or walk them frequently. My husband works from home full time, so there is always one or two adults at home. We live in a single house with a fenced backyard, and there is a big greenbelt right outside our backyard ( see images). Therefore it’s very convenient for frequent walks or play time for your pet. They can also meet other dogs as well. As a family, we are comfortable with being around furry friends. We volunteer with my daughters at a local farm cleaning, caring, patting…. Love it! Our own cat-Zeytin is very calm and friendly. We love to play, walk, cuddle, spend some quiet time with our pet and guest pets and will do the same with yours, too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Nevin
“Our dog Lulu is so happy and well taken care of by David’s family. Todd is my main contact who is David’s dad. We love the video and pictures he sent us. Lulu took a walk in the park and played with their dog Lucky. Thank you for taking good care of Lulu.”

My first time leaving Brewski with someone that wasn’t family so I was a bit nervous but Petra helped ease my worries. Brewski settled right in and got to relax and play with her family. She kept us updated the whole time as well! Will definitely be booking again

Jennifer was wonderful with our young dog Teddy, 16 months old Maltese mix. He spent the day playing and Jennifer send photo updates throughout the day. She cheerfully accommodated my last minute request for an extra day. Always prompt with her replies, she really helped make our trip to the Gilroy area a more relaxing stay. I would highly recommend Jennifer’s services and would definitely choose to book Teddy with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Rucker is $50 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $61 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Rucker 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.

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 .
