“Harper - thank you so much for hosting Alonzo these last two days! I know when he was so excited to see you on the second day that you took such good care of him and he had a great time! I really appreciate you looking after him so well and all of the pictures and videos you sent me throughout the day. We will for sure come back to you any time we’re in San Jose and I’ll recommend you to anyone here! Thanks again!!! Mikah and Alonzo”
“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”
“Cindy was such a great sitter. Winnie was super excited to meet her and seemed immediately comfortable. They had a day running around town and resting at the house. I’d definitely ask Cindy to watch Winnie again!”
“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”
About: About Us We are a husband-and-wife duo who believe that a house isn't truly a home without the patter of paws. For over 30 years, we have been dedicated dog parents, sharing our lives with various breeds, personalities, and ages. Dogs aren't just pets to us; they are family members who deserve the utmost respect, patience, and affection. Recently, our own beloved furry baby (16yr old miniature schnauzer) crossed the rainbow bridge. While our hearts are healing, we find ourselves with an abundance of love and a quiet home. We’ve decided that the best way to honor our late pup's memory is to spread that love to your pets, providing them with a safe, joyful "home away from home" while you are away. Why Choose Us? 30+ Years of dogs parents: From the high energy of puppyhood to the specialized care required for senior dogs, we’ve seen it all. Constant Supervision: As a couple, one of us is always home, ensuring your pet is never lonely and always monitored. Home Comforts: We offer a dog-friendly environment where "getting on the couch" is Welcome (unless your house rules say otherwise!). Peace of Mind: We understand the anxiety of leaving a pet behind. we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry family members and treat them as if they were our own! With both of us home throughout the day and a nearby office for quick transitions, our household offers constant companionship. We are dedicated to caring for your dogs with the same love and attention we give our own. Nothing is more important to us than your pet's safety. We treat every pup like our own, ensuring a secure, loving environment and the dedicated care they deserve.
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
“Thank you Su! Roxie had such a great time and was happy. Su takes lots of pictures and communicates well with dog owners. Definitely using Su for future dog sitting. Her place was perfect for a dog as well.”
“She is a total sweetie and very accommodating! My dog can get shy and anxious around new people and other dogs and Julia took great care of her adapting to what will work best to ease some of my girls anxiety. Sent lots of pictures and updates as well, we already booked her for more overnights as well as drop ins! She is very flexible with her schedule and meeting her clients needs. Thank you Julia!”
“Natalia is a great care giver to my dog. She walked my dog for a long time which my dog loved and enjoyed accompanying to my dog. I’ll ask her again. I would appreciate more pics if I could ask. Overall, she is great.”
“Gabru had a very nice day with Reyna. She was very responsive to all our requests and sent regular updates. She has a nice house and Gabru enjoyed her backyard. I will definitely have Gabru visit Reyna again soon”
About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of pets since high school. Just in the last two years I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior as my husband and I have adopted two pups of our own. They are both around 2. I love to play and teach them as we are all growing together as a family. I had a dog in high school as well and walked her everyday. I also helped care for our kitties, as we had a few growing up. We also have three kitties now whom we love and play with everyday. Pets are like kids, they all have their own personalities and it’s fun to learn who they are just like people. I’m currently working an odd schedule and it’s been quite slow. Would be nice to make a little extra cash while helping someone else exercise their pup, or take care of them. I like to let pets get to know me and some need more time than others. Depending on the pet they may come to greet me or hide. It’s best to let the pet approach me first when they are ready. I like to use treats for commands, rewards, and/or bribes. Pets love to play and I am good at that! Outside is a little more dangerous as you never know what another person’s dog is like. I usually avoid strange dogs and anything that I see could be harmful. I like a close leash to make sure pets don’t eat strange things on the ground and I can watch them closely to look out for something before they get to it. Pets are quick and you have to see it before they do!
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience looking after my own pets as well as those of family members and friends! Over the years, I have provided a variety of pet care services, including taking pets on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and bathing them. My experience has helped me develop a strong understanding of pet needs and a genuine love for caring for animals! I'm available on weekdays from 10am-5pm and weekends from after 2pm! Feel free to please reach out even if it seems that I'm not available! I am pretty open unless I have another schedule / bookings. Please try to request a few weeks out so we can guarantee a meet & greet! I have a reliable transportation to go to farther places if needed. I have a fenced backyard for your pets to play in! I have a two story home that allows your pets to comfortably roam around. I currently have no personal pets residing in my house so I will be able to take care of your pet more properly one on one!
“The boys completed their first daycare visit; all went well and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Also, appreciated the good communication between Owner and Sitter. We'll be back for another visit soon :)”
About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life caring for many different breeds and personalities. Most recently I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback but have also had Labradors and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the past. I work from home and am only gone for a 1-3 hours during the day. My wife works from home and will be with the dog to keep them company. I have 2 kids aged 2 and 4 who are home after 5:30pm and all day on the weekend I have a fenced in yard with grass and plenty of room for the dog to roam. Dogs are allowed on our couch and bed as well.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time animal lover based in Hayward with hands-on experience caring for multiple pets every day.

They go out in the yard and enjoy the sun and run around. I have decent size house with two yards so plenty of space to run around. I have an extra room if animals need to be seperated.
“Jalen was amazing with our puppy! We needed a last minute baby sitter and Jalen was quick to accommodate! He would consistently send photo updates of the puppy. He also made sure to give our energetic pup enough attention so that he could sleep easy at night. I would definitely recommend jalen if you are looking for services!”

Harper and Leo were amazing! They took care of my dog last minute while my husband and I went to a hockey game, and it gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing our dog was in a safe and caring place made it so much easier for us to enjoy our night. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving place for your pup in San José, this is definitely a great option. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Russell City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Russell City on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,654 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Russell City. 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 Russell City 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 5,654 sitters in Russell City, 87% 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.
