“Hanah and Dabin are the best daycare provider I have met so far. They are friendly, responsible, and punctual. They took our Peanut for walks multiple times a day and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I truly appreciate the care and attention they gave him. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy daycare provider.”
“David and his family are amazing with pets. But most of all my puppy Rome loves them. They take him to the park throughout the day and feed him on time. My puppy was well taken care of and I will be using them again.”
“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”
“Heather is super caring and dog friendly. My dog Sokka knows when we pull up to her house because gets super excited and whiny. He fairly launches out of the car to get to her door.”
“Our 3-year-old golden retriever, Bella, has been staying with Rebecca occasionally throughout the years and gets so excited and happy every time we arrive to Rebecca’s home! Bella gets a full day of play with other pups with all the love and care from Rebecca and Tom. Rebecca always provides update photos throughout the stay, which we always appreciate. She provides so much care to detail - from describing the dynamics between Bella and the pups, the activities she’s engaged in throughout the day, and so many photos - which we love! Always a great stay here, and we appreciate Rebecca and Tom so much.”
“Sunny was so kind and welcoming with us and mowgli! She was quick to reply and easy to work with. We took our little boy to Disneyland for the whole day and she watched our dog early in the morning until late at night. She sent pictures and texts throughout the day, and took him on walks by the beach. It was so nice knowing mowgli was safe and well taken care of so we could have a peace of mind. We really wanted to bring our dog with us on this trip and we are so glad we found rover.com and sunny to keep him safe and happy for the day! Thank you!!! ”

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. With busy working parents, I was often the one doing most of the animal care. I grew up with 2 large German Shepherds and 2 cats, so I am familiar with handling large breeds and taking care of multiple animals at once. I am a huge animal lover and have always been a natural pet caregiver. The well-being of animals is my top priority. I am currently working remotely and so I will be home and available to take care of your pets. I am also completely available on the weekends. I love to be outside and walking! I can’t wait to take lovely long walks with pets. Additionally, my favorite pastime is cuddling with furry friends on the couch!
About: I have grown up with dogs as my best friends. There is nothing I love more than cuddling and playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I have had a golden doodle for 12 years, taught her to be a therapy dog, and compete in dog shows. I typically pet sit dogs at least once a month for my friends because they know how much I love them! I also frequently volunteer to foster dogs to help them get ready to be adopted. My boyfriend and I both work from home so we will be with your dogs all day. We have one 20 pound male neutered poodle. I am a runner and very active so if your dogs would like to run I am always looking for running buddies! Pets are my best friends and your best friend would be in amazing hands with me!

Ning was awesome, it was a last minute trip and in a holiday weekend and she said yes right away after reaching her, during the whole day, we received pictures and videos about our pup and updates every hour! It was amazing seeing how she was doing all day! Whenever we are back in LA we will connect with Ning again! Will recommend to everyone! Thanks for everything! ☺️
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!
There is something very special about people who love dogs, and hand Marisela met our dog Zoe with a treat in hand. When we had forgotten that we had booked her overnight, she reminded us and it helped us with our TinyFest event so much as we were main coordinators. She sent us pictures and video of our dog in her happy state, even though she has a lot of separation anxiety, and Marisela was perfect at giving her a wonderful safe place to be. We would book her again anytime can’t wait till next year.

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.

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.
