“Taylor has watched our pup twice so far and both times she has been fantastic!!!! She happily continued our efforts on basic training commands and potty training too !!! We can definitely recommend Taylor to anyone who wants the best for their fur baby !!!”
“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”
“Maribel was an exceptional dog sitter and dog trainer! Our Autumn was well taken care of and was even taught some good habits. Maribel was consistently keeping us updated with pictures and videos of Autumn. She trained her to lose some of her bad habits like leash pulling and reactivity. Once we picked Autumn up, she was calmly waiting for us to approach her. Definitely recommend having your dogs trained by Maribel!”
“Maggie came home happy and tired from playing all evening. Kathy was quite understanding when we had a bit of an emergency that caused us to return later than expected.”

“Chelsea was amazing! I will absolutely be contacting her again for her services. Trustworthy and sent me updates! My boy even got to play with other dogs with her. Thank you Chelsea!!!! :)”
“Moriah was able to take Marlow with short notice during our family crisis. She sent pictures and a video of Marlow having a great time, one less thing for me to worry about. Marlow had a great time running around the yard or resting inside out of he heat. Moriah was very flexible with my husband dropping her off and me picking her up. I would definately book with her again.”
“It’s hard to leave my pet with a new person, but we struck gold with Air! I really appreciated how attentive she was to our dog and kept his safety and well-being a priority. We will definitely book again!”
“Joshua was an excellent host and his dogs did excellent with our dog Duke! He came home tuckered out after a long day of playing! He sent pictures and kept us in the loop which was perfect since we rarely leave Duke alone. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Our dog had a great week with Shane and Daz! He was spoiled with runs in the backyard, walks, and trips to the dog park. Pictures and videos each day. He felt right at home and we felt super comfortable leaving him there. So grateful to have a future great daycare and boarding option - could not have asked for a better setup! We’ll bring him again hands down! Him and Daz are now besties :)”
“Melissa is such a sweetheart, adaptable, and a great communicator. Her three dogs are so well behaved and socialized well! Her dogs helped my introverted dog warm up to them. My dog ate so well which means our dog felt very comfortable and she loved being outside in their fenced in front and backyard. When we come back to the area, I would definitely book again.”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Running Springs on Rover is $42.8 per day (as of August 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 Running Springs 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 899 sitters in Running Springs, 89% 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.
