“Thomas and his wife are absolutely amazing with our puppy, Star! We will definitely be using them again! They know how to manage big breeds, which is a huge relief as a pet owner!!”
“Karlee was great with Douglas! She was willing to take him for the day with just hours notice! Karlee sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how Douglas was doing. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future.”
About: My love for animals goes well back to when I was 4 or 5 and I was in charge of letting our neighbors dog out while they were on vk. (my mom was really there ;)) I always loved the 2 cats we had I'm sure but my love started growing for all animals when I took on that letting the neighbors pets out. Through highschool I volunteered when I could at the animal shelter a couple cities over and dreamed about owning my own training and boarding facility when I graduated. Well life pushed me into college and a career and 10 plus years later here I am with a degree I don't want a career in.... I'm going back to my dreams and would love for your dogs to be a part of the start of it! I have 3 fur babies of my own a cat and two dogs! All three rescues and loving life! Any questions feel free to reach out! Cant wait to meet everyone! I currently work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 as an intake coordinator for a hospital from home. My love is animals so all my spare time goes to fostering and volunteering for ruffstart along with taking care of others furbabies. All pets deserve lots of love but discipline when needed. I believe in positive reinforcement but some pups need a little more guidance and a shorter leash than others.. I plan on following owners directions and requests but offer guidance if wanted or needed. If all you want me to do is let your fur babies out and spoil them rotten I would absolutely love doing that! For boarding and doggy daycare I have an older resident dog so we can only take laid back submissive dogs for now. We do habe the capability to separate if she needs a break. We have a big Shepard mix that loves to play with everyone at only 3 years old!
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.
“not sure what to say....we are so confident and comfortable with Sara, not to mention how comfortable Shiloh is!! We know Shiloh gets along well with her pups and he so enjoys playing. We get pictures which we love and just knowing he is so well cared for is a wonderful feeling......Sara is FABULOUS!!”
“Christina helped with a same day request! She was prompt to respond and flexible with drop off and pick up times. As a first time puppy dog owner she put my mind to ease by sending lots of photos! Will definitely be using her again! Thank you!”
“Amy and her family were absolutely amazing and Marley loved going for Doggie Daycare! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby and for being so flexible as well!! We will definitely use you again for Marley care❤️”
“I can’t express how pleased I am with Kevin’s stay with Sydney. I was incredibly nervous to leave my dog for the first time but I was quickly relieved by how responsive, trustworthy, and kind Sydney is! My dog had a wonderful time playing all day:)!”
About: As a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. With a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of each pet’s unique needs, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where your furry family member can thrive. I currently have availability on occasional weekdays and weekends, depending on the day. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your schedule when possible! When walking dogs, I prioritize safety, exercise, and enjoyment. I tailor each walk to your pup’s energy level, age, and temperament—whether it’s a brisk stroll, a leisurely sniff-filled adventure, or some playful time outside. I always ensure your dog stays hydrated, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every walk as a chance to build trust and connection with your pet.
“Kristi is probably the BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She is genuine and from the first time I met her I knew she had a love for dogs. She plays games with our guy, they go outside and play, they go on walks, he plays with another dog that she does doggie daycare for. He is always tired when he comes home. Kristie will also send you photos and updates during your animals stay. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
“I have to say I'm really happy I found Crystal! My dog has really bad separation anxiety and she was able to keep him calm for the entire day she had him. She sent me pictures and her communication is great! I will definitely utilize her services again. I would also recommend her to someone too.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
About: As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.
“Jessica and her boys took great care of my little guy, Wilson. I came to pick him up and he didn’t want to leave! He’s been napping since we got home, great job wearing him out. We will use Jessica again ❤️”
About: I have grown up with dogs and many other pets since birth. We used to raise dogs, now we have two medium sized dogs. I love animals and I hope to have a career where I can continue that passion. Just graduated from high school May 2025, and I have a schedule allowing me to be able to continue caring for animals and to continue this passion of mine! I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.
About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Santiago
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Santiago. 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 Santiago 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 MN 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 175 sitters in Santiago, 85% 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.
