“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!”
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.
“Sein is a fantastic sitter! She takes great care of my pup Little Bear and you can tell she’s very gentle with him (he has separation anxiety). Always responsive and ensures Little Bear has many walks and is fed as requested. Highly, highly recommend booking with Sein!!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet lover who treats every animal like family. 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.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals through long term dog and cat fostering, as well as frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but pets have stayed a big part of my life the whole time. What sets me apart is attention to detail. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, a walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, and I can do drop in visits or walks 1 to 3 times a day depending on what your pet needs. Once I’ve gotten to know your dog or cat, I’m also happy to offer boarding. I live in an apartment with dog parks, which makes walks and outdoor time easy. For both walking and boarding, I only take care of one pet at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, low stress environment. I’m open to boarding for pets I’ve already met and feel comfortable with.

About: Hi! I’m Zoe. If your dog loves having buddies to play with, they’ll fit right in here! I have two friendly dogs and a secure, fenced-in backyard perfect for leg-stretching and fresh air. I’m in the office three days a week (staying for 4-6 hours), so my home is set up to be a safe, social environment for pups to hang out together. For the two days I don’t go to office (often Tuesdays and Fridays) and weekends, I stay at home all day and give all my attention to the doggies! I treat every guest like one of my own, ensuring they are happy, tucked in, and well-exercised. I’d love to host your fur baby for their next stay! I work from home two days a week, giving the pups my full attention. On the three days I am in the office, my home is fully dog-proofed and secure for my two friendly dogs and your pup to hang out together. This environment is perfect for social dogs who enjoy having furry companions to play and nap with while I'm out. I always ensure everyone is exercised and settled before I head to work! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. My home is fully dog-proofed and features a secure, fenced-in backyard for safe playtime. For added security, I have cameras installed so I can keep an eye on the pups even when I’m in another room or during my office hours. Since I have two friendly dogs of my own, the environment is already tailored for comfort and safety. I ensure all introductions are handled slowly and carefully to make sure every member of the pack feels happy and at home.
“100% amazing experience all around! Jiapeng and Katelyn took wonderful care of our Yuffie girl. We got plenty of updates and pictures from the day, she had a walk and plenty of potty breaks, and had an abundant amount of play time with them and Pika! We are very satisfied with their attention and care of Yuffie and will definitely book with them again!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and proud mom to a 2 year old French Bulldog with IVDD. She is quiet, submissive, and a little timid, so I understand the importance of gentle care and patience. I only take potty-trained, non-reactive dogs who are ready for calm love and attention. Having grown up with dogs all my life, I know how to read their cues and help them feel comfortable and happy. I would love to care for your furry friend and make them feel right at home. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats, and we don’t have experience caring for them, so we are unable to provide cat care. I have a flexible work schedule, and the days I list as available on Rover are frequently updated. On those days, I can give your pup my full attention, including walks, love, playtime, and cozy snuggles. Our apartment is secure and gated and our dog-friendly community even has an on-site dog park for safe walks and playtime. For the comfort and safety of all dogs, I like to do a quick meet-and-greet with my dog to make sure everyone feels happy and relaxed together.
“Save me from a last minute booking. I loved leaving my sweet girl with Sofiya, Nina came out super happy. Definitely will come back and recommend. Thanks so much for loving my pup Sofiya!”
“This was our first time using rover. One of our dogs is very anxious and doesn’t get along with other dogs so we only trusted them being watched by my MIL. However, we decided to just give it a try. Nataliya was amazing. Great communication and most importantly caring and loving with our fur babies. So excited we found her and would definitely recommend.”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Stephanie! I have owned dogs and pets my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of personalized attention, love, and care during their stay. I have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is super friendly and loves making new friends! I work remotely, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for overnight boarding and daycare. I especially love working with recurring families so I can build a relationship with you and your furry friend and help them feel comfortable and at home during every stay. I’m a very outdoorsy person and love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s going to the park, exploring a dog-friendly trail, or enjoying a nice long walk. We also have a yard for plenty of playtime and outdoor fun! I can’t wait to meet you and give your pup a fun, loving, and personalized home-away-from-home! 🐶💕 I work remote and have a flexible schedule over the week so I will be able to spend all day with your best friend and give them all the love and attention they need while you are away! Your pup will be going on walks throughout the day or a trip to the dog park. I would prefer to watch your pet in my own home but am also open to pet sitting and can make arrangements to visit your pet.
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.
“Pablo had a short 6 hour stay with Ana and in the short time, Ana was responsive, sent pictures and even took Pablo out for rainy day walk and dryed him off. She said her dog and Pablo got along well and I can tell he must have gotten a lot of play in because he was soooooo tired when I picked him up which is always great for me! Thanks Ana!”

Anytime I leave Kaia with Diana and her team, I know I’ll get back a satisfied and tired baby. She always gets sad when I leave her off but quickly settles in. I get frequent updates and photo that always makes me smile and puts me at ease. I grateful for this team. 🫶🏼
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!
Melissa was spot-on with communication and empathy. Although her husband seemed to play a major role, I had only communicated through Melissa. Daff seemed well taken care of (plenty of photos), and was there for a VERY last minute booking. If I lived here, I'd be loyal to using them again and again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Jose on Rover is $47.73 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 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 2,717 sitters in San Jose, 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.
