“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! She was so kind, understanding and accommodating. She provided plenty of photo and video updates throughout the day and I loved seeing how happy my baby was while I was away. Our puppy Stella had an absolute blast playing with Nicole’s doggo Sunshine each day during her stay! She finally made a new friend who can rival her energy. Each morning she was so excited for drop-off with her new friends and each evening she came home happy and thoroughly worn out, which is really saying something for our little furry ball of energy! Stella already can’t wait for her next visit with Nicole and Sunshine. Nicole is a quality, caring sitter who I cannot recommend enough!”
“Thank you so much for watching my dog on short notice. Robert sent update photos throughout the day, was quick to respond, and gave me ease that my pup was in good hands. Thank you to you and chief!”
“Our Bear was in the very best hands! We received messages, pictures and videos throughout the day which we loved! It was comforting to know he was having a blast with the other pups and felt comfortable in their home. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Thank you Malissa for taking care of our 5 month old puppy! I can tell that Daisy had a good time with you. She seemed so comfortable and happy around you when we picked her up! We’ll definitely be back!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover who understands that pets are cherished members of the family. As a responsible homeowner and mom, I know the importance of trust and reliability. You can count on me to provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of affection, exercise, and individualized care. I am happy to follow your routines, administer medications if needed, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages-from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and specialized care. Having cared for our own senior dog through multiple prescriptions and health needs, I know every dog has unique needs at each stage. I am happy to adapt to their individual routine and comfort level. As a dependable, stay-at-home mom, I am home often and can provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether your furry friend needs fun walks, a cozy place to stay, or loving care while you're away, I will treat them like one of my own. Our home has a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for supervised outdoor play and exercise.
“Morgan and Jack came through in a pinch with just a few minutes notice. I am beyond happy with their service. Lex loves going and Lex hardly barks, but when he sees this family he is so excited he can't stop barking/talking and wagging his tail. I love that I found this family. Lex loves this family.”
“Anna was great! She was super accommodating to our change in schedule. Scrappy had a great time at her house and was definitely well taken care of. We'll definitely book again with her when we're back in Idyllwild!”
“Alisha and her family took such great care of Jedi! Her dogs made Jedi feel right at home! Alisha is great at communication and understanding the needs of dogs and their owners! She is very easy to get along with and we felt great knowing that Jedi was in excellent hands! Thank you!!”
“We were very pleased with care provided. Frank, Saleha and their children were very welcoming and both Maya and Chiquita seem happy to be there. In particular, Chiquita, our 15 yr old did not show any anxiety or stress, on the contrary and Maya seem to enjoy the company. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving the girls and recommend for others. Thank you!”
About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
“Tashia was such a great caretaker for our beagle! Our beagle had such a fun time playing with the other dogs - Tashia sent photos and video! You can tell Tashia loves animals and cares about your pet…..we will book her again.”
“Melissa was a life saver in a pinch and was able to sit Roscoe on short notice. She was professional and a clear communicator. She has experience and clear practices for keeping dogs safe and cared for in her home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sage. 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 Sage 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 791 sitters in Sage, 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 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.
