“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”

I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, basic training, and giving lots of love and attention. My husband and my son also love pets and always help me to take care of them. We live in a townhouse with small front yard and also i have a beautiful small park just around the corner. I’m patient, attentive to each pet’s needs, and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Will be glad to take care of your pet! I am stay at home mom of 6 years old boy. I have plenty of time to give love and care for your pet. I had a cat for 15 years and occasionally, took care of our friends dogs. I live in a townhouse and I had a small fenced front yard and a park nearby. I am very patient and attentive with feeding and walking times.
“Atchariya and her warm family took such great care of our 10 month old doodle!! They lovingly fed him regularly, played with him and took him for regular walks in the parks and lawns near their home! Our puppy was so happy to interact with their sweet and mellow mini poodle and we know that our puppy really enjoyed that day!! Atchariya sent us regular updates via texts, pictures and even videos and we were constantly at peace that our puppy was well taken care of during his stay with her wonderful, caring family!”
About: Growing up we’ve always had different kinds of pets. I LOVE THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! I have a dog and will love yours as much as I love mine 🥲Animals are my therapy, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. We laugh together, eat together, sleep together. We’re all one. As an avid pet lover & owner, I’ve seamlessly integrated pets into my daily routine. It involves several key elements. This typically includes feeding your pet, ensuring they have fresh water, engaging in regular exercise or playtime, grooming if necessary, and most importantly providing companionship. Additionally, it's important to consider any specific needs your pet may have, such as medication, training, or socialization. By integrating these tasks, you can ensure your pet's well-being while hanging out with me and my dog! While you’re away. Im also, VERY UNDERSTANDING AND FLEXIBLE. Thank you. 🫶🏻 I approach pet care with the utmost responsibility. Each morning begins with feeding your furry baby & mine, followed by a refreshing walk or some playtime to keep them stimulated and happy. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring they have a comfortable healthy environment throughout the day. Whether it's a quick cuddle during a break or a peaceful evening walk, any pet's needs are always at the forefront of my day, as we’re each other’s companion. Creating a harmonious balance between their specific care and my daily activities. While maintaining open transparent communication.
“I chose Mikayla based on the positive reviews and she didn’t disappoint. She is very sweet, attentive and is flexible about drop off and pick up time. Great communication throughout and sent plenty of updates and pictures. She also asked questions to make sure that she is providing what the fur baby needs. Great experience and my fur baby would love to see her again!”

“I am so happy I was able to find someone like Ezra. It’s hard to find pet sitters that understand how to work with Shibas, are knowledgeable about managing/training dogs with separation anxiety, and has a space to care for high energy dogs. Yami had a blast and was happy to play with other dogs. Ezra provided consistent updates and gave me a peace of mind knowing Yami was well cared for.”
“The absolute best! Sarah is a miracle worker. 🌟 I cannot recommend Sarah enough! My dog, Hotpot, a Shiba Inu, is definitely not the easiest pup to handle. He has historically struggled with resource guarding and gets highly agitated around food. I was naturally nervous about leaving him, but Sarah managed him with so much patience, care, and expertise. Under her care, Hotpot has made incredible progress: • Better Manners: He is now way more patient, especially around meal times. • Socialization: He actually learned how to play and peacefully coexist with other dogs! Seeing him thrive and grow under her care was the best feeling. If you want a sitter who genuinely cares and knows how to handle complex dog behaviors, Sarah is the one!”
About: I've had my own dog ever since I can remember a family dog was always there and I was never without one. I enjoy a dog's company and I'm sure undermine, your dog will feel right at home. I do work full time however my schedule is flexible to come home to give breaks and once I'm home from work they have my full attention with walks until bedtime. The weekend, I am home providing walks and care. Plenty of play time with my dog as well. I live in an apartment which across the street we have a small dog fenced area and as well as a convenient walking area in the surround premises.
“Sophie took such great care of our Oni girl. She sent photos, video and updates throughout the day. We loved seeing how much fun she was having with Sophie. Thank you for taking such great care of her! We will definitely book Sophie again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a super friendly but needy beagle, so I know what it takes. I treat our dog like a child. My home is setup with a lot of dog beds and lounge areas. I live in a very walkable area with a small secluded dog park nearby. I work from home so I’m flexible during the day on weekdays. On average I am available every other weekend. Hoping to find dog owners who can also care for my dog down the line when needed. I don’t have a yard but I have a good amount of space inside. I go on 3 walks a day! I have a 35 lb beagle who is very friendly. I prefer to care for small/medium dogs since I live in a townhome.
“I immediately felt comfortable dropping Theo off with Melissa and Hyun Dong. They are both very kind and considerate people, took great care of my sick dog, and provided me with updates regarding how he was doing. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Teresa is wonderful! She's kind, thoughtful, and very patient with our high energy part cattle dog puppy, Pluto. We have no doubt he's being looked after well whenever he's with Teresa.”
“Trishalee was amazing. She saved me in a last minute pinch when I needed someone to watch my senior, deaf, and blind baby. She sent photos and was super kind and flexible. My baby came back happy, calm, tail wagging, relaxed—which says it all. I would absolutely trust her again. Thank you Trishalee!! From me & Mazel :)”
“Stephanie was great with Mochi. He is a bit shy and takes a while to warm up. She was very patient with him and taking him on multiple small walks. Capri is also so sweet. I would not hesitate to book Stephanie again in the future. Thanks so much!”

“Ghelina took care of our baby girl last minute. Our family was traveling through San Jose and there were a few attractions we wanted to go to that did not accept pets. Ghelina was a life saver and took such good care of Moka. Communication was excellent with many updates and great pics and video as well. Our girl was super happy when we picked her up. We will definitely use Ghelina's services again next time we are in the area.”

Even though it was a short-notice booking with Mikayla, everything went very smoothly. She was friendly, communicative, and punctual. Oxy seemed to have enjoyed time spending the day with her and her sweet dog, Strawberry. Highly recommend Mikayla's services!
My dog stayed with Raquel for the day, and we had a great experience. He looked very comfortable and happy with Raquel and her family, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Raquel provided timely updates throughout the day, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. I felt completely safe leaving my dog with her and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Jose on Rover is $47.73 per day (as of September 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 .

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 Jose 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 2,753 sitters in San Jose, 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.
