“Deborah has been wonderful at taking care of Harry! She asked lots of questions and was super sweet and loving! I am very protective of him and don’t leave him with any one if I can help it! But as I had a grand baby on the way - I needed help and Deborah was amazing! We will see her again!”
About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home dog mom to my 2.5-year-old golden retriever, Goose, who loves meeting new friends. I can offer your pet constant companionship, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I’ve raised Goose since he was 12 weeks old, have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience, and grew up with cats. I can administer medications, follow detailed care instructions, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family from the moment they arrive. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—I already spend my days walking, playing with, and caring for Goose. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, mid-day walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a quick cuddle, a mental-stimulating game, or an extra walk to burn energy, I can easily adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. Dogs have access to a secure balcony for fresh air and are allowed on the bed for snuggles, but not on other furniture. We follow a no human-food policy to keep pets safe. I stick closely to your feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and confident in their surroundings. Goose is extremely friendly with other dogs and fascinated (but gentle) with cats; if needed, I can separate spaces to keep everyone relaxed.
“Ryan, Marianna, and Remy (their cute Labradoodle) did a fantastic job taking care of our Bernadoodle Lani, and agreed to do so on very short notice. We know Lani had a fun time with them because they sent multiple pictures and videos, which we greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Lots of play time and 2 walks, and Lani was a happy dog! We will certainly use them again the next time we need daycare for her.”
About: I have cared for animals all my life. Growing up my family had a sweet shelter dog and many cats. We cared for very young pets to senior pets. Now, I have my own little dog whom I rescued from the shelter. I appreciate that all animals have their own unique personalities and quirks. I work remotely and can give your pet child all the attention they need. I am happy to prep their food and accommodate them while you are away. I have a pet stroller and pet carriers to use as needed. For boarding your dog child, I take my dog on walks throughout the day and once before bedtime, and I will take your dog as well. They are allowed on the sofa and I have multiple dog beds throughout the home. I currently work remotely so I will can give your dog child all the attention it needs while they adjust. I will treat your dog child like I do my own. Typically, I walk my dog throughout the day and once before bedtime to make sure they don’t feel any discomfort. I tailor my care for your pup, so if your pup loves to sleep I will happily give them the time and space to. If your dog loves walking then I make sure to take them on walks. I have pet carriers, a pet stroller, and dog car seats in my car to use as needed. I will send you photos throughout the day or as often as you request. I take their safety very seriously. If I sense any discomfort, I immediately try to address it in the most appropriate way, whether it be cuddles or space to decompress. I will never take your dog to the dog park and I will closely monitor any interactions with dogs during walks (if you have any concerns please let me know). I always leave water out for them and make sure they are fed according to their food schedule. I will attach an Apple ID tag to them for GPS. For dog boarding, since I have a small 12 lb chihuahua poodle mix, I kindly request meeting in a nearby park first so we can check that the pups will get along before taking them to my home. This is for everyone’s safety.
About: I have been pet sitting for family and friends for years. I will always treat your pets as if they were my own fur babies. I know how scary it can be for them to have their owner away. As a pet owner myself, I know what it feels like to miss them when I’m away, so i would be happy to provide as many photos as possible, to help ease your time apart. I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. Available to do drops in and overnight stays as needed. By giving them the love and attention they require while their owner is away. Will be able to administer any medications or special foods they may need.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from small breeds like Pomeranians to large dogs like German Shepherds. I’m especially comfortable working with active and high-energy dogs, making sure they get enough exercise, structured walks, and engaging playtime to keep them happy and balanced. I also have experience with anxious or sensitive dogs. Two years ago, I adopted a rescue dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to build trust while helping a dog feel safe in a new environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and am available to spend time with your pet at a time that works well for both of us. I live in an apartment complex near a park, and there’s also a dog park on-site. My dog is very friendly and gets along well with others.

“My two dogs had a wonderful time staying at Hanah and Dabin’s beautiful apartment. They were very accommodating and kind, especially since one of my dogs recently had surgery. Also, both of my dogs are needy and suffer from separation anxiety, so they can be a lot to handle. Hanah and Dabin were very communicative and kept me updated with photos, which put me at ease while I was away. I felt safe leaving my dogs with them. Thank you, Hanah and Dabin! I look forward to the next time.”

“Michelle took very good care of our dog. She took our dog on lots of walks and took the time to learn our dog's personality. She is patient and great with dogs. She also gave us regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog loves Michelle and is excited to stay with her each time!”

“Kristina was so responsive and took great care of my pup Sawyer. He had a fun day running around and playing with his toys in Kristina’s care. Kristina sent several pictures and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Sawyer can’t wait to see Kristina again!”
“Rose was very shy at first but im so happy she warmed up to you! Thank you for your patience with her. She was very tired (which means happy to me lol) and wanted to run back when i picked her up! Thank you again!”
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - San Joaquin Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Joaquin Hills on Rover is $61.05 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,533 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across San Joaquin Hills. 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 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.

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.
