“Hyo Yi is such a wonderful pet sitter!!! She is so professional, responds quickly, shows up early for pickup and was able to care for our two aussies so well! She was very attentive and affectionate with them, gave them plenty of walks and took lots of photos of them enjoying their time at her home. I would absolutely have her pet sit our dogs again and I would reccomend her to anyone!”

About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!

Deborah was so great! We did a meet and greet with my dog Bentley prior to daycare - her house is lovely and she made sure Bentley was very comfortable! She gave us many updates while he was there. I highly recommend using Deborah and have already booked her out for our summer travels!
Kat and her pup have such a calm and kind energy. She has an adorable house with a great yard. I’m particular when it comes to my senior dog but I had peace of mind with her. My mom’s puppy joined as well and we got updates and pictures all night. Very grateful to have found her and I’ll certainly be booking again!
Sofia is a wonderful dog-sitter... she took amazing care of our pup! 'Cesca was made to feel at home right away, and Sofia's dog Bo quickly became her new friend. We knew she'd be well taken care of from the time we first corresponded with Sofia to set up the play date. She was super timely and communicative, and when we met it was obvious she would be very responsible and take precautions so our active puppy wouldn't get into trouble :) We received pictures and updates during her stay that clearly showed 'Cesca was having a great time. No doubt there will be future play dates with Bo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Joaquin Hills on Rover is $55.5 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 San Joaquin Hills 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.

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.
