“Nicole and Rose did a great job caring for Keeko! They took such good care of him and he was so happy hanging out with them. Would definitely recommend them to care for your pups!”
“Stephanie was amazing! Very attentive to our two dogs and was great at keeping us up to date on how they were doing! Our pups always seemed happy in the photos and we will definitely ask her to watch them again! We were running later than we’d expected for their pick up and she was very gracious and patient with us, which we appreciated. Highly recommend her!!”
“Laree and Keith are fantastic. I have an older dog who is more sedate and a younger dog who is full of energy. They care for both so well and they obviously enjoy working with my fur babies.”
“I’ve been leaving my fur baby with Alex for 2 years. I totally trust her with my Bella. She’s so great at communicating and sending pictures through out the day. She has the best personality and always does everything to make Bella comfortable. I wouldn’t trust Bella to any one else.”
“Thank you for watching tallulah and for helping with the crazy morning I was having when she locked herself in the car with the keys. I will definitely have her come when I have some out of town work and need a sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Jesse! I live in The Islands community in Gilbert, and I recently said goodbye to my sweet 12-year-old bulldog. I truly miss having a dog around, and I’d love to share my home and care with yours. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I work from home, which means I can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I will also appreciate the company of having your dog hang out with me. My home has a spacious backyard on the lake with real grass, perfect for playtime and potty breaks. More importantly, I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own.
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets for decades, and as a dog mom myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Taylor, came to us at just 8 weeks old with Parvo. Caring for her around the clock until she fully recovered taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to notice the little things that tell you how a pet is feeling. She's now a healthy, happy five yr old who loves other animals. I work remotely from the main living area of the home, so pets are rarely alone. My workspace allows me to keep an eye on them throughout the day and easily step outside for potty breaks, playtime, or simply some fresh air and companionship between meetings. They also can freely use the doggy doors to the yard. Whether I'm caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, or those who simply miss their family, I follow their routines closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pets and your home are in caring, dependable hands. I work remotely Monday through Friday, so pets in my care enjoy companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone while I'm at work. My desk is set up in the main living area, which means I'm naturally where pets like to spend their time. Whether your dog wants to nap nearby, play in the yard, or simply have someone close for reassurance, I'm there. I typically only leave briefly for my daughter's school drop-off and pickup, so your pets can enjoy a consistent routine with plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I provide a calm, attentive home environment and closely follow each dog’s feeding, medication, exercise and sleeping routines. Our yard is fenced and provides plenty of supervised space for safe potty breaks and play. I have two friendly dogs, and I introduce all dogs carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also separate or crate dogs when requested, including during meals, rest periods or when I briefly leave the house. I provide regular updates so you know your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for. Please note that I do have a pool, so I will need to know whether your dog can swim or has any safety concerns around water.

“We used Lauren’s services for day care and she was amazing! Our dogs were very well taken care of and she even took them for a walk. The pups are very happy and so are we! Would definitely recommend Lauren!”
About: I’ve been rescuing stray dogs and cats for the past 6 years - I foster , feed , medicate and find forever homes for these babies. It all started with one stray cat I found under my car - Ginger , and now my life’s purpose is to build a world where every animal is loved and respected - to build a safe sanctuary where they only know love. Till date, I’ve rescued over 50 animals. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals, puppies , kittens and keeping up with routines and special instructions. Dogs, cats, fishes, birds, bunnies, turtles - I love and respect all beings 💛 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care depending on your needs. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm reliable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medications, and keeping pets comfortable while their humans are away. This isn’t just a side gig for me- it’s passion turned into purpose! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for. I'm attentive, patient, and calm in new situations, especially with shy or anxious animals. In your home, l'll respect your space and follow all instructions carefully while keeping your pet's environment clean, peaceful, and consistent. I know how hard it is to be away from your best friend that’s why communication is one of my priorities. I’ll make sure to send 20-30 photo and video updates everyday (I know your storage might go full but you’ll have peace of mind) 🥰🐾
About: I've been taking care of my dogs since 2014. I also helped others to look after their dogs as well. All my family members love pets. I’m working from home so the dogs will not stay in the crate during the day. We have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out and play. I’m WFH every day. I can walk the dogs in the morning, noon or evening. I can take them out every 2-4 hours if needed. I have a fenced backyard so the dogs can go out often. I have a super friendly small dog (11 yr) and a 2.5 yr old border collie. They'll be happy to meet new friends. I do not put dogs/cats in the crate during the day unless requested by owners, instead I use a fence if needed.

Sydney and her family are some of Coopers FAVORITE people and fur-friends to go see!! He gets so excited and runs in to go see them as soon as he gets there. We are so grateful to Sydney for being so great with our goofy boy and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for some help with their babies. Thank you so much again Sydney! Coop can’t wait to see you guys again soon!
Nicole watched Pepperjac as a puppy for some time and then we needed a sitter again a specific week months later. Pepperjac recognized the neighborhood and got so excited to be back with Nicole. We know she is taken care of, happy and safe during her stay. Great communication and updates as well. We appreciate you Nicole.
Jerron took great care of our two dogs while we were visiting Mesa and was very quick in responding to my last minute request. I think my boys were couch potatoes the whole day, but that tells me they were comfortable there and were able to get some respite from our travels. We will book with Jarron again next time we need a sitter in Mesa!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Charlie B 🐾 Hi, it’s me, Charlie. I don’t usually write reviews because I’m very busy being adorable and monitoring squirrels, but this felt important. First of all, my mom abandoned me (rude) to go to “work” (whatever that is), but THEN… plot twist… I met Capone. Capone = 12/10 good boy. We played. We zoomed. We possibly solved several world problems. He let me be the boss sometimes (as he should), and I allowed him the honor of chasing me around like a maniac. It was a very balanced, professional friendship. At one point, I almost forgot I had been tragically left behind. Almost. To my mom: I will forgive you… eventually. To Capone: I love you, you chaotic legend. Please schedule more playdates immediately. Overall experience: Would get “abandoned” again if Capone is involved. – Charlie 🐶 (professional good girl, part-time drama queen)
Danielle was super responsive to my inquiry about her availability to take care of Maverick, my 6-month old Maltipoo pup. The two clicked immediately on the 1st meet and great. Mav loved her two furry babies, who put up with his puppy energy. Danielle sent frequent updates during Mav's stay. Her home is beautifully kept, as is her backyard play area. Already rebooked the next stay! Thanks Danielle.
Geneva is great with my puppy. Every time we get to their house Lady can’t wait to go in and play with her dog Apollo. She’s great at communicating with me sending lots of pictures to me throughout the day. Lady always comes back very happy and a little tired from all the fun she’s having.
Richard was the perfect sitter for my little boy. The backyard setup is perfect for playtime, and his dogs are lovely. I’ve never put Kai in daycare before, but Richard was an amazing host. We felt at ease from the start, and he sent me pictures throughout the day to show how much fun and well looked after Kai was. I couldn’t have asked for a better first sit. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Carlos on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 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 San Carlos 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 AZ 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 2,425 sitters in San Carlos, 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.
