“Thank you so much, Ru, for taking such great care of Mochi! She had an amazing time and it’s clear she received so much love and attention while staying with you. I truly appreciate it—you made me feel completely at ease leaving Mochi in your care. I would absolutely trust you with her again in the future!”
“Our pup spent several days going to daycare and he had a wonderful time. They have a spacious backyard where the dogs can play and have ample exercise and fresh air. Iggy was exhausted each time he went. They took great care in making sure Iggy and all the dogs are safe and can play well together. I will be sure to book more day care for Iggy and perhaps even boarding services in the future. She also sends updates and pictures and videos before you even have time to ask and many of the pics of Iggy had big smile on his face. Thank you!”
“Cooper came home happy! I know he’s comfortable with Dawn and she always keeps in touch with photos and lets me know how he is doing. She’s a dog lover for sure and I’m so happy to know she’s there for us:)”
“Loving, Attentive, Trustworthy, and Caring Princess had a great time with Ghazal and her husband! I could tell when I picked her up that not only was it a good fit but they both enjoyed their time together which meant so much to me. My girl only smiles like that when it’s real so it made my heart beam with joy knowing how much you liked each other. Thank you for the meet and greet the day before, accommodating a last minute request, excellent communication, the photos, being so flexible and patient. You are a dream sitter. We would definitely hire you again if you will have us.”
“I dropped off my puppy with Soyoung in May for doggy daycare. I can tell Soyoung is wonderful with dogs. Nico, my puppy, went to her with no hesitation. Soyoung kept me updated on his day and sent me photos. I felt very relieved that Nico was enjoying his time with her. He seemed very happy when I picked him up. I had left a few of Nico's items at Soyoung's home, so she offered to deliver them to my home. Nico was super excited to see her when she arrived. After she left, he whimpered at my front door. :) I will definitely book Soyoung again to care for Nico.”
“Ahiram and her husband are amazing daycare sitters. They were very attentive and incredible with updates and responsiveness. Love the patience with our two kraken monsters (our dogs lol)”
“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
“Melissa and Tommy took wonderful care of my pups. They made me feel at ease with updates and photos throughout the day. Appreciate them for taking such good care of my dogs and accommodating my schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Florence and Wen are caring, competent and professional. We are totally confident leaving Fiona in their care. Actually, Fiona took to Wen right after our initial meet and greet!! We loved getting updates and pics from Florence. So glad we found them!!!”
“Our energetic pup loved staying with Fari. She sent us videos to show how our doggo was acclimating with the other fur babies. We were so surprised to see our pup playing with the other dogs. He doesn’t seem to really play when we board him other places with a lot of big dogs. We will definitely be coming to Fari for more love and care for our pup in the future.”
“Freddy was anxious when I dropped off Freddy in a new environment. Lu was patient and walked Freddy around to get used to new surroundings. Freddy was comfortable and was eventually chilling on the sofa. Thanks for the videos and timely updates Lu. Also, thanks for the polaroid photo of Freddy's stay! :) It was great meeting you and looking forward to seeing you again!”
“Cristina provided a wonderful daycare environment for Cooper. He’s very old and appreciates a calm place and lots of water available and a couple walks… He loves people more than other dogs and seemed very content when I picked him up. I will look forward to hiring Cristina again soon!”
“My 12-year-old dog was in great hands! Amy was patient, caring, and kept me updated while I was at work, which gave me peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves dogs and cares for their well being, I highly recommend Amy!”

Even though it wasn’t a good match with Gunner, Emily was a FANTASTIC person to work with: multiple videos, pictures, and texts through the day, she worked tirelessly to help Gunner try and overcome his separation anxiety. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
We had such a wonderful experience with Nasibeh! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and cared for our dogs, Robin and Lulu as if they were her own. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were having an amazing time especially playing with her adorable dog, Cody! They came home tired and happy, and they had a fantastic stay. We also really appreciated how understanding and flexible she was with our pickup time, which made everything so much less stressful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
This was our first time ever leaving our puppy with a sitter/daycare, so we were definitely anxious going in. She made the entire experience incredibly easy and completely put our minds at ease. From the start, she was communicative, transparent, and sent so many photo and video updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. The best sign of all was that our puppy immediately gravitated toward her and looked completely comfortable and happy in her care. It was clear he was getting lots of attention and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again and are hoping to make her our regular sitter/daycare moving forward. Highly recommend!
Anytime I leave Kaia with Diana and her team, I know I’ll get back a satisfied and tired baby. She always gets sad when I leave her off but quickly settles in. I get frequent updates and photo that always makes me smile and puts me at ease. I grateful for this team. 🫶🏼
Gary was an absolute godsend for my dog Jack, who has separation anxiety! This was the first time I left Jack with anyone since he developed separation anxiety after a move. Jack climbed into Gary's lap during the meet and greet, which I knew was a good sign. (He's also not a small dog.) When Gary came for housesitting with Jack, Jack was super excited to see him. I left for almost eight hours and felt confident that Jack was in good hands. When I returned home, I could see that Jack had a good day with Gary. Gary came back for two hours the next day, and I didn't worry at all. Gary had the perfect combination of calming and playful energy that Jack needed. Will definitely hire him again! Thank you, Gary!
This is probably my nth booking with Ru, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Ru’s reliable, caring, and clearly love the dogs she watches. Mochi gets so excited every time she visits and always comes home happy. Sometimes she seems like she’d rather stay a little longer! I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her. See you next time! 😊🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Santa Clara on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Clara 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 2,831 sitters in Santa Clara, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
