“Melinda and her family took the best care of our girl. Riley came back happy and full of love. Melinda was a great communicator and made it a very easy and enjoyable experience. We are already looking forward to the next play date!”
“Danielle and Austin took Rocco in last minute and saved my day. He had the best time: they took him on a walk, played fetch, and spoiled him as if he were their own. If it wasnt because of them, i wouldnt have been able to succesfully complete a project i had due that day. Cheers to the McKeevers!”
“Shelly was amazing and sent lots of pictures and videos of what a good time Wally had with her pups and at her home. She made him feel welcome and he was happy all day! Thanks Shelly !”
“Sarah is an amazing sitter. She’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I thought my dog was going to be too energetic and difficult for her, but I was totally wrong. Definitely will be bringing my dog back again soon!”
“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
“Alexandra exceeded our expectations! Our pups were overly stressed from our vacation and immediately became acclimated to Alexandra and her home. She sent us pictures throughout the day which was great! Thank you so much!”
“Carmine had a great time at Lauren’s playing with Josie! We had been unsure how he’d interact with her cats so after a meet and great everyone seemed comfortable and worked out great! Excited to have a new friend for Carmine.”
“Michael and Cassandra have been so awesome with our pup! They welcome her in like she’s their own and she always comes back happy, tired, and content! We are so so so grateful 😊”
About: I have experience caring for any kind of dogs and cats. I foster shelter dogs, raised and trained my Labrador Ace from a puppy and owned a senior rescue dog. I know how to care for puppies, teenager and elderly dogs, as well as kittens and cats. I'm particularly good with shy cats and getting them out of their shell, but enjoy an active, playful cat like mine just as much. Our home has a front and back yard, both fenced and a living area plus an attached sunroom. I can separate pets if needed. I have a cat room, only cats can get in, dogs have to stay outside. My cat usually roams the whole house. Can separate if needed. I also have the ability to take active dogs on walks or runs as I am an active person and runner. I am currently staying at home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, making it easy to accommodate any pets needs . When a new pet arrives at my house, they will always get some time away from any other pets already here to get used to everything and decompress. After that they can meet under supervision and if everything goes well, they'll be together in the whole house. If they don't get along I accommodate and fence out different areas, inside and outside. I have a front and back yard, which can also be separated in two different areas. I also have a large sunroom attached to our living area. One of the bedrooms is a no dog zone for cats.
“Loree was wonderful with our two dogs and knew she was solid from our first meet and greet. She and her husband were very friendly, caring, and attentive to our dogs and provided us with tons of photos documenting their fun activities during their first stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“He did a great job keeping my brand new rescue company and making him feel comfortable his first day without me! I also got picture updates which made me feel better! Well defiantly be back (:”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a young child. My life wouldn’t be complete without them. I’ve owned, fostered, and now sit for all kinds of pets. We have a room set aside for acclimating them, and a large fenced backyard for them to wander around. I care for your pets as though they were my own. While being a stay at home with my two littles, I have lots of time to play, watch, walk, and more. We are always happy to share our home or let your family run around the fenced in backyard. We have a small kitten that is half in and half outside so we can always accommodate. There is a great walking path for us or running around in the backyard.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, and I have experience administering prescription medications to both dogs and cats. I am currently a part-time remote student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! This allows me to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I’m able to provide consistent companionship and care, especially for pets who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’m also available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique schedule. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In Your Home: I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and of course, lots of attention and affection! I also make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar environment. In My Home (if applicable): My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. I keep a clean, safe environment and follow your instructions closely when it comes to food, exercise, crate time, or special needs. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure each one gets plenty of one-on-one time and care. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
“What a great experience! We left our 16 month old, 80 lb, high energy, Golden Retriever named Bailey with David, David's girlfriend Barbara, and his Golden Retriever Auggie. This was our first experience with Rover and Bailey's first time away from home. David was easy to work with and sent pictures and comments during the day. It was obvious Bailey enjoyed her play day. We look forward to working with David and his clan again. We highly recommend that you consider David for your furry family member's next doggy care need!”
About: I love caring for animals and strive to make them as comfortable with me in the home as you are with me being there! I hope to provide exceptional care to both you and your beloved animals. I am cosmetologist working part time, with this schedule I have plenty of free time and can be sure to care for your pet on a regular basis. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible and the only way to do so is making sure all of the house rules are followed.
“Incredibly professional and easy to communicate with. Complete trust in her and her ability to handle the day without questions. My puppy left the car each day excited to be there and came home happy and tired from his exciting day.”

Saki had the best day with Bella and her husband! He came home happy, tired, and honestly seemed a little sad to leave them, which says everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Bella again, and Saki can’t wait to see them both!
Super awesome daycare experience for Frankie. He had so much fun he didn’t want to leave! He had so much play time, he got withdrawals and crashed out once we got home. Most definitely will be returning for boarding since Frankie has made good friendships with Erica and Felipe’s doggies 🐩
Sammi was an amazing dog sitter that we were so lucky to meet! Our two dogs really loved spending time with Sammi and her husband. Sammi was incredibly attentive to our two dogs’ needs and took the time to get to know them, and their individual temperaments, and schedules which made the stay incredibly smooth! Sammi also provided regular updates with photos and videos which made us feel very safe and reassured! She was very professional in all regards and was nothing short of excellent. We will definitely rebook again :) Thank you so much for the outstanding care, Sammi and Sammi’s husband!
Malia was awesome with my dachshund Penny! Penny has a huge personality for such a tiny dog and can be a little dramatic sometimes, but she loved Malia right away which honestly never happens. I could tell Penny was getting lots of attention and love the whole time and Malia kept me updated so I didn’t have to worry at all. When I got back Penny was happy, relaxed, and acting like she had her own little vacation. I would definitely trust Malia to watch Penny again and I know Penny will be excited to see her again!
Carie took really great care of Wee. She has a fenced yard with grass which is really lovely. I like that she has her own little pup and also does doggy day care so Wee can socialize a little more. Carie was really flexible with my pick up schedule (my flight was incredibly delayed) and she made my life easier by being so amenable. Carie is a great sitter and I will certainly be back!
We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Toto had the best day and was so well cared for. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and communicative throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in a home where he was treated like family. Toto got along great with her pup Tony and did wonderfully around the kids — which really speaks to how safe and positive the environment is. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to their individual personalities and needs. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Toto and would absolutely trust her to watch him again anytime. Highly, highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in San Luis Rey on Rover is $37.74 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 Luis Rey 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 2,697 sitters in San Luis Rey, 86% 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.
