“I have 2 fur kids- and was seeking a trustworthy kind sitter, specifically for some special needs for my almost 18yr old terrier poodle mix. It truly takes a special person to understand the gentleness and extra care needed for seniors specifically- I came across Lisa‘s profile and SHE IS AMAZING!! I booked her and utilized her services immediately. I plan to have many more visits with her in the future! My cuties LOVE HER. ?? She is very attentive, sends Photos and updates etc. Trust me, as a neurotic dog mom it takes a lot to impress me- and I am BEYOND impressed!! THANK YOU LISA!??”
“Kaela totally exceeded my expectations! This was my rescue’s first time being dog sat in someone else’s home, and Kaela made sure to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. She’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior and had great communication. Totally put me and my dog at ease! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Kiki had an absolute blast with Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters during her stay! It was so nice seeing the photos of Kiki having a blast with the family throughout the day—whether it was playing at the beach or curling up on the couch for some snuggles. Thanks to Nathan and Paula’s care and attention, I was able to fully enjoy my time at Disneyland. I will definitely be trusting them with Kiki next time I’m in the area!”

About: I have a wide range of experience helping with pet sitting needs. I started helping out local neighbors while they were out of town and have been responsible for walks, feeding and staying overnight at times. I’ve owned dogs all my life and have experience taking care of my own as well :) I’m currently working part time so looking to help with your pup needs to fill a second job! Weekdays and weekends are typically flexible, especially in the evenings. I like to stay active so I plan to do the same when I take care of your pup! I love going on walks and hikes nearby.
“Katrina is a lifesaver. We needed a sitter for Max last minute while on vacation. It was our first time using Rover and having Katrina as our sitter eased our anxiety, especially with Max being an anxious & slightly reactive dog with new people. She was really easy to talk to, updated us throughout the day, knows how to handle dogs, and Max warmed up to her quickly. Thank you again Katrina!”
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I had a golden retriever as a kid, and for the past 3 years I’ve been caring for my own large dog — so I’m very comfortable with big breeds, high energy pups, and all the love (and slobber!) that comes with them. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home, I can be very flexible — available for walks, feedings, or drop-ins throughout the day. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra snuggles, I’ll be there. escription: When pets stay with me, they’re treated just like family. I have a spacious home with a large fenced-in yard, perfect for playtime, exercise, and safe potty breaks. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer them to have their own cozy space. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to give them plenty of love, attention, and care — whether it’s walks, feeding, play, or cuddle time.
“Michael and Karen were very accommodating and they took the time to really take care of our puppy, Sammie. They were super nice and when we got Sammie, all he wanted to do was stay with them hahaha. Very nice family and would definitely book Sammie's stay with them again! You can trust that they will take care of your pet. They are such a beautiful family!”
“Nichole was amazing! It was our pup’s first time with her, and she sent pics and videos throughout the stay. Trooper loved her and is looking forward to his next stay. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
About: My career started at my church when my pastor had to go out of town and needed someone trust-worthy! I love all animals and treat them as they were mine. I give a lot more time then most and charge much less. I have 12 years of experience, with excellent references. I m available for a walk while you work, 3 walks a day or overnight; at your home. My service is much better then boarding and your fur baby feels much safer! I devote about 75% of my life to pet care. The other 25% is devoted to church and volunteer activities. I love my job and am fulfilled by caring for pets. I DO NOT normally host pets in my home. I have a cat, 4 turtles and a beta fish. If the pet is small and can be crated I would consider that. I can drive small pets to vet or other activities

As a pet owner myself, I know what it feels like to miss them when I’m away, so i would be happy to provide as many photos as possible, to help ease your time apart. I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. Available to do drops in and overnight stays as needed. By giving them the love and attention they require while their owner is away. Will be able to administer any medications or special foods they may need.
“Kermit loves Jeff, Keersi and their doodle Scuba! Best sitter of all time. They have taken such good care of my dog and I feel at ease knowing that he is in such good hands. If Kermit could have it his way, he would hangout with them everyday! Couldn’t be happier and truly am so thankful for them”

Ning was fantastic! We booked last minute and she was so responsive and kind. I loved getting the photos and videos throughout the day. Penny was cared for and safe, and had access to the yard. We will definitely be returning! Thank you Ning for watching my baby!
Vi was amazing! She watched our dog for us when we were in a pinch with travel plans and visiting from out of state. She made us feel at ease with leaving our dog with her for the day - knowing that he was going to be well taken care of. She gave us lots of photos and updates throughout the day that reassured us that our dog was being cared for. When we picked him up, he was as happy as can be after a fun day of playing and getting lots of love! We would definitely book Vi again when we are back in town!
Krystal absolutely goes above and beyond!!! I’ve used her multiple times when in Orange County and my baby and I love her!!! She’s the first person I trusted to take my little boy in the car. He just loves her! Do not hesitate to use her!! She’s amazing! ❤️
Dan was excellent in every way. Great with Charlie and took extra care with her since it was her first time with him. He was outstanding in communicating with me and very responsive to every message I sent. I highly recommend him and I hope to use his services again very soon.
Kaela totally exceeded my expectations! This was my rescue’s first time being dog sat in someone else’s home, and Kaela made sure to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. She’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior and had great communication. Totally put me and my dog at ease! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
We chose Monica because it was clear from the start how much she cares about the dogs she watches. She took the time to learn about Tony’s personality and needs so she could make sure he’d be comfortable in her home and around other dogs. Tony had a great stay and came home happy and tired. We especially appreciated the positive socialization opportunities he had while he was there. We’d definitely book with Monica again!
Jessica was great with our 6 month old puppy Wilbur! Even with his frequent bathroom breaks she gave him lots of attention and love. We really appreciated the pictures updates and communication throughout. We would be lucky to have Jessica take care of Wilbur again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Santa Ana Heights on Rover is $44.4 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 Santa Ana Heights 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.
