“My regular sitter was sick and couldn't watch my dog. Trying to find a sitter last minute is stressful, but I hopped on Rover and got a confirmation right away from Austin! Everything went smoothly and Jojo was happy to have a friend in their sweet little dog, Hank. Would definitely use them again.”
“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 !”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Tristin enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my little dachshund while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Throughout the stay, Tristin kept me updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated her like part of her own family. She paid attention to every detail, made sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. When I picked her up, my dog looked happy, relaxed, and honestly seemed like she didn't want to leave! She even spent time looking for Tristin after coming home, which says a lot about the bond they built during her stay. As a pet parent, it's not easy trusting someone else with your furry family member, but Tristin exceeded every expectation. I can honestly say she cared for my dog as well as — and maybe even better than — I do. Her communication, kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and incredibly caring to watch your pet, don't hesitate to book with Tristin. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Tristin, for taking such wonderful care of my little girl! 🐾❤️”
About: I have two senior small dogs, and specialize in assisting older clientele with their needs. I also often dog sit two adult German Shepherds (+60 lbs each) - I love all pets and look forward to watching your pets. I’ve always had a knack with pets loving me too! I have an extremely flexible and can prioritize your needs in my schedule. I enjoy having the pups close, in my office during work and train them to be ready for "breaks," i.e. walks, and treats. I also like to give the dogs a job to do to make them feel special. I have a fenced yard which is small, but just right for dogs. I have several raised dog beds and umbrellas, so pets can sun bathe or enjoy the shade.
“Thank goodness for Loree and Jim. Whenever I mention to Ollie "Want to go to Loree's? He jets to the door and can't wait. And even better he comes home tired and happy. What else could I want?”
“A huge thank you to Sarah for watching over our pup Lucas! In addition to being very sweet and easy to work with, Sarah is observant and tuned into dog body language and cues. She gave Lucas a lot of time to settle in before introducing him to her dogs, and gave Lucas breaks when she felt like he was getting overstimulated. Overall we felt super comfortable leaving Lucas in Sarah’s very capable hands, and he came back home happy and tired!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently now we have a wonderful 50 lb Labradoodle. She is extremely sweet and caring and over the year. We’ve been welcoming more dogs into our home during the day. Thus, we’re creating a profile to keep up this positive momentum. We have a 20 foot partially shaded patio. As well as the inside of our home available for dogs to plan. Right now we’re only doing daytime appointments and we are careful to select dogs with the right temperament. We look forward to meeting you and your pup soon! We generally accept the dogs after our toddler goes to daycare. Which is around 9 AM. We then watch the dogs until around 5 PM. We currently do not offer a weekend or late nights, but may do so in the future, depending on how business goes. Currently my wife has a relaxed online job and is with the dogs all day. I myself often work from home and play with the dogs from 9 AM to 5 PM. We have plenty of toys and dogs can easily access inside and outside of the house to play outside when they want. We have fans and air-conditioning to keep them cool in the hot summer days.
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm so excited to get to know your pet. I work from home full time and have a fully fenced-in backyard. I have experience with senior dogs (including my own 16 year old puggle!), administering meds, and puppies I work fully remote Monday - Friday, so I'm able to spend plenty of time with your pet based on your needs. Whether your pup loves long adventurous walks or snacks snuggles at home, I'm ready for it. I have a fenced in back yard and a walking trail right outside my house. My senior puggle gets along with any dog, cat, and human she's ever met!
About: **BASE ACCESS** and ranked Star Sitter ⭐️ Proud dog mom of two-- Elsie (boxer/husky, a tripod!, 13), Carlie (Golden/German, 8). I recently moved back to Oceanside, but have walked/petsat all of the furry/feathered friends full-time on Rover for a year in Colorado! You can find more client testimonials or cute pictures on IG under my business name: LittleChaosPetCo 😺 You can expect that your pet will come back from any visit with me safe, happy, and probably....very spoiled. So here's to the next chaotic adventure! 🤙🏼🌊 I do Rover full-time! I am available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks; please feel free to reach out, even if it's same-day. AND -- now offering boarding + day care! I have a big yard with a separate pen, so everyone's safe and happy at all times :) PLEASE NOTE: If you'd like to do a meet and greet and you're selecting "drop-in"'s, please select an additional drop-in for the meet and greet. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out and we can work something out :) So here's the thing. That older tripod boxer I have? She taught me every. single. lesson. a person needs to know to keep their dog safe. I am constantly scanning for other dogs, prey, physical obstacles etc. during walks and play time. I practice safe introductions whether or not your animal is familiar with the other animal we may encounter (neighbor, etc) because I'm also aware that their behavior might change from how they behave with their parent vs me! I think it's important your animal sees no change in their environment as far as trust/safety--their routine should stay exactly the same, if not with the addition of some more adventures!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
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!
Anna was absolutely AMAZING with our pup Taco! Excellent communication and you could tell he had a blast while hanging out with Anna and her family! He put himself to bed early that night :) Definitely reach out to Anna if you need someone to take phenomenal care of your pup!
Dara was great! Perfect cozy house and backyard for hazelnut to play. Got all her energy released and got to play with sweet midnight. Her kids and family were great with hazelnut! Sent lots of pictures and I could tell she was made right at home. Would highly recommend her, will book again for sure!
Lisa is fantastic with my two small dogs. One of them is nervous but felt right at home with Lisa and her dog. They became a pack instantly. Lisa sends pictures during the day so you can rest assured your furry family members are safe and sound. I will be relying on Lisa to care for my girls often. Thanks so much for keeping them safe and happy!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - San Luis Rey
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 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 2,716 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across San Luis Rey. 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 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 2,716 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.
