“Amazing service for our dog. We had an unexpected trip and we booked Nicole and her family at the last minute. She was very welcoming and accommodating. The best part of all was knowing our pup enjoyed being there. We know he was in great hands. Will definitely book with Nicole and he family in the future. Thank you, Nicole.”
“Areli is FAB! Wow. Lily was cozy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Absolutely wonderful experience having Areli care for my sweet baby. Will def book again! ✨✨✨♥️”
“Christina was great. I had to book at the last minute and she responded quickly to my request and was able to pick up my little guy. I could not have asked for a better person to watch my dog. She even sent me a photo of my dog enjoying having his belly rubbed”
“My baby Makana had a great time at JJ’s house.. Though we didn’t see the host’s interior of the house where the pets are, the pictures she had sent looked clean and safe.. It’s Makana’s first time to socialize with 2 dogs since she turned 2 yrs old due to some health issues when she’s a pup. We thought it’s time for her to explore and find out if she is well adjusted now that she’s an adult.She is as expected to be a little shy but was able to adapt and became comfortable. She is tired and pretty happy bec she had a play date with Zuri ( the host’s furbaby) and another furbaby. I’m glad that JJ has been sending pic and videos of our baby’s socialization activities and so nice of their son to play with the FBabies.. Thank you and will definitely recommend her services.”
“Melisa was amazing, offered to even meet prior to the arrangement and took wonderful care of our pup. We will be using her in the future, glad we found her. Very responsive and flexible.”
“Fiona took such great care of my dog Teddy! She made sure to update us by sending lots of photos and videos which I really appreciate. I could tell Teddy felt very comfortable at her place. Thank you again! I highly recommend Fiona to take care of your fur babies!”
“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”

I really strive to provide a safe and comfortable experience for each pet in my care. I do this by following any special care instructions given carefully and doing my best to keep each pet as close to their normal schedule. I will treat your baby as if she was part of my family.

About: I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence. My home is warm, relaxed, and animal-friendly with a fenced yard. We did hospice for a number of dogs and cats from 2014 to 2025, so we installed Life Proof floors and have furniture to accommodate the older ones. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe, are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed.
“Ernestina and Julio have been a great help to me since I've returned to work. I feel very confident in the care that Rocky is getting while I'm away at work. Their home is nice, clean and quiet. Rocky is happy when he gets dropped off there for the day and enjoys his daily walks too.”
“Franco and his family took such good care of our two boys! 🐾 They updated us throughout the day with texts and pictures, to let us know how our boys were doing. I'm so happy I found Franco profile. We look forward to having Franco and his family watch our boys next time!”
About: I provide compassionate drop-in visits , boarding and walking services tailored to your pet's specific needs. With 26 years of experience in animal care and a current role in a Veterinary Hospital, I offer a level of medical expertise that goes beyond standard pet sitting. Whether your pet requires oral medication, insulin injections, or subcutaneous fluids, you can rest assured they are in capable hands. I come from a long lineage of British Veterinarians and have a keen eye for recognizing medical emergencies. I pride myself on being organized, clean, and highly communicative, providing detailed updates after every visit. I am available 7 days a week and am happy to follow your specific routines to keep your pets comfortable. (Note: There is an additional fee of $5.00 per additional cat.) Whether you need daily drop-in visits or overnight boarding, I have you covered 7 days a week. I have spent 27 years caring for animals and recently moved my boarding services to a large home in Stevenson Ranch. To ensure every guest feels safe, we provide a thoughtful layout: cats have their very own dedicated bedroom upstairs, while dogs stay in their own area downstairs. Your pets will also love our spacious, securely fenced backyard. Since I work part-time in West LA, I am available every day for feline drop-in visits in that area. To provide total peace of mind, I work as a team with my daughter, who works from home, allowing us to provide consistent, around-the-clock care for all our boarding and weekend daycare guests. We are also happy to provide pick-up and drop-off services to make the process even easier. Your pet’s routine and safety are my top priorities. I am a diligent communicator who follows your care instructions to the letter. Because I am trained to notice subtle changes in health, I can quickly identify if your pet needs extra attention or professional care. I specialize in accurate medication administration and aim to mirror the care you provide at home. If you have a specific way of doing things, please feel free to share a video or show me in person so I can replicate that routine perfectly.

Michelle was truly amazing. Missy takes time to warm up to people and she hit it off with Michelle very quickly. Michelle gave Missy plenty of attention, and kept her happy and entertained for day care. (The photos were so appreciated!) Missy was in great spirits (and tired!) when I picked her up. I will absolutely bring Missy back to Michelle again.
Sean is way beyond 5 stars. We took "Mr. Magoo" our shy Bichon, for an initial meet-n-greet. By the end of the afternoon he was already exploring his surroundings & jumping up on Sean's lap! When we arrived, he was happy and relaxed...you can tell he was well cared for. Thank you Sean!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Santa Clarita on Rover is $36.38 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 Clarita 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 5,842 sitters in Santa Clarita, 88% 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.
