“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”
“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!”
“Ezra was amazing! She sent pictures throughout the day. Our dog was having stomach issues so she fed her chicken and rice to calm her stomach down. She even clipped her nails and gave her a bath! She is excellent with dogs and our dog usually takes a few days to warm up to people and she warmed up to her so fast. She had a great time and came home tired every night from playing with the other dogs! Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs daily through raising and training my own two dogs, Oreo and Caramel. I’ve personally handled crate training, potty training, feeding schedules, leash walking, socialization, and creating consistent routines in a calm home environment. Caring for my dogs has helped me become very attentive to dog behavior, comfort, safety, and individual needs. I understand the importance of patience, supervision, communication, and making pets feel safe and at home while their owners are away. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every dog like part of the family. Pet care is becoming my full-time focus, so I’m available Monday through Friday and able to provide dogs with consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to build my daily routine around the dogs in my care, including walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, rest time, and individualized attention based on each dog’s needs. I’m home for most of the day and strive to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as crates available for downtime, rest, or maintaining your dog’s normal routine if needed. I also have a dog play area to help dogs stay active, engaged, and entertained throughout the day with supervised play and enrichment activities.
“HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I come to San Jose for business at least once a week and I always leave my dogs with Yifei! She’s very responsive, ALWAYS takes them on walks, and great with sending pics all day! Ps : she has the sweetest golden retriever!”
“Heather was amazing with Luna. She was great with communication and photo updates and made sure Luna had a walk and playtime. Luna can be a bit anxious but Heather made her feel comfortable and right at home.”
About: I’ve always had dogs around, and we adopted Annie, our latest furry friend, four years ago. I treat my dogs like my babies, and spend a lot of time playing with them and making sure they are looking pretty at all times! I work from home, so I’m free to care for your dogs during the week. Weekend availability might be a bit spotty. I only leave the dogs alone when I’m heading to the gym (about an hour), but otherwise I always bring them along, even to restaurants! Please provide food, treats, a food bowl, and a dog carrier (it’s super important!). I have plenty of toys :) I live in a townhouse, I don’t have a yard but I take the dogs out for pee breaks every 3-4 hours and 2 20min walks (morning and evening). I have puppy gates in the house to confine them to the 1st floor if we step out, and a crate (if needed). I also have a camera on that floor to monitor the dogs!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through friends, family, and my community. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to follow your instructions closely so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy being around animals. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a flexible schedule and am available during weekdays and weekends. I’m especially available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, as well as evenings for check-ins. I’m reliable and consistent, and I do my best to work around your pet’s routine to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they are in a safe and clean environment. I’m respectful of your home and will treat it with care. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, secure, and happy.

I am a really nice and responsive person to take good care of them My apt have a large dog park and paw bath area too. Its the nicest and cleanest apt in this area. Feel free to book me.
“I'm so grateful to Sofiya and her family we're taking care of Teddy today. I needed a sitter very last minute and I'm so grateful she was available and responded quickly and was flexible when I needed to change the time as well. Teddy seemed to have a great day playing and he is home now already taking a good nap. A perfect day for a puppy. Thank you so much.”
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: I personally had 5 Chihuahuas that were beloved by my whole family that all lived to be 20+ years. I currently have 3 Chihuahuas that live in my mother's room and they are my babies. I have dog boarded and dog walked my neighbor's husky for over 3 years with zero complaints. I can't wait to see your fur baby. It's the only thing I think about , I am available 24/7. Whether it's day or night, I am there for your dogs needs . Your dog will have a joyful and playful experience at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard as well as a fenced-in front yard for your dog to play. I have balls and toys for them to play all day as well as water to keep them replenished. Your dogs well-being is my main priority.
“Ahiram took very good care of my dog & sent updates & photos. I was nervous at first because this is my first time leaving him with someone else but the updates kept me at peace. He was in very good spirits when I picked him up. Left my dog in great paws. 🐾”
“Flora took such great care of Benji! It was a daycare stay, and I could tell how much Benji loves her. Benji will definitely be staying with Flora again this summer!”
“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“Megha and Avi are the absolute best! Barfi is icing on the cake 🙂 This was Luna’s first day care visit ever. I was anxious about how she would do without me, but Megha and Avi made her feel right at home. They kept me updated about her with pics and videos. Gave me a report when I went to pick her up which was insightful. She had such a great time, and even came home with a bandanna! I would definitely go back with them and recommend them to other pet parents”
“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.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in San Jose is $53
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Jose
Wendy (Yifei) was great - I was visiting from out of town and she was flexible with my not-so-precise schedule during the 3 days of daycare. Daisy got plenty of backyard sunbathing, and Wendy also fed a mix of wet/dry food (a little extra effort, I’m sure Daisy was happy to have that luxury).
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 :)
Diana and John take such good care of my Italian Greyhound, Benny. They are very communicative and send lots of great pictures. They take extra care in ensuring that a dog is a good fit for their group during the meet and greet before booking, and they have an ideal set up for the dogs at their home. Benny is always visibly excited when we come to daycare, and has even tried to go back in at pick up! Overall, I’ve had such a wonderful experience with them. Highly recommend
Loved loved loved the way my babies were taken care of. I was really surprised how fast my little one adjusted. Both my dogs seemed to be very happy. Will definitely be reaching out to Alexa again. I am very grateful for her approving my last min appointment and taking such good care of my babies. Knowing they can be a little too energetic they were ready to go to sleep when getting home.
Ezra is very kind and considerate. Bobbi had a wonderful time at her place. The yard is beautifully maintained and perfect for dogs. She also sent us updates from time to time, letting us know how happy Bobbi was during her stay. We truly appreciate her care!
If I could give Ghelina 100 stars, I would!! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever had. I’ve used Rover before, but after just moving from GA, I was so nervous about finding a new sitter out here. I’m beyond grateful I found Ghelina because she is everything. I would trust her with my Sevyn 1,000 times over. She was absolutely amazing with her and sent so many videos, photos, and updates throughout my stay, which truly put me at ease. She kept Sevyn active all day..she went to sleep almost immediately after every stay. Ghelina and her partner took such great care of my baby for 3 days. Thank you!!!! 🩷🩷

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - San Jose
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Jose on Rover is $47.73 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,692 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across San Jose. 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 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 2,692 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.
