“Marien was a blessing to our fur baby Guapo. She was so kind and patient and really took care of him. He looked so happy and really enjoyed himself! We are super thankful for her and think she’s amazing. I haven’t let anyone watch him yet alone it’s my first time leaving him and she made it so seamless. Neither of us were anxious about the experience. 😭 I highly recommend Marien.”

“Barsha was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover for my 11 month old Havanese-Shih Tzu-Poodle mix (Puka) and Barsha made it so easy. Her communication was insanely quick when I sent a last minute day care request and she explained how it all worked. The day of day care was amazing, I got tons of pictures and videos and when I picked Puka up she was so happy! Barsha felt like family immediately and I will be using her again for Puka's care!”

“Sarah is amazing! We just completed our first doggy day care ever with our 4 year old frenchie and it could not have gone more perfect. Sarah has been super responsive and flexible from the get-go. We started out with a meet and greet, and doggy day care session before we do boarding just to acclimate our pup for staying with someone new. I was a little anxious about leaving my boy, but Sarah calmed my nerves by providing updates and pictures throughout the day. He had a blast with her and slept all the way home! I can confidently say I 100% trust her to watch our boy again (and I’m very picky about who we leave him with.) Very grateful to have found her!”

“Jennifer was very responsive and accommodating. I accidentally booked the wrong date, but in our text conversation, I had discussed the correct dates with her. On the correct day of the date I needed her to watch my dog, I called her frantically thinking that she wouldn’t be available since I booked a different date, but she was accommodating and changed the date to the correct one. She’s located near Dodge Ridge, so we dropped my dog off early in the morning and went snowboarding then picked him up on the way home. Very convenient. I have an old dog that requires special care like medicine, special food, diapers, anxiety, and etc and she followed my detailed instructions very well. My pup also seemed to enjoy being under her care despite his anxiety. Will be happy to bring him back!”

About: I grew up with two dogs—a Chow Chow and a German Shepherd/Collie mix—and caring for them helped shape my lifelong love of dogs. As a kid, I also helped my mom with her dog walking business, which gave me early hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In my 20s, I regularly cared for friends’ and roommates’ dogs while they were traveling, and over the past 10 years I’ve continued dog sitting as a trusted side business. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities and routines, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. About a year ago, I adopted my dog from the Oakland SPCA, and through their training classes I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior, communication, and care. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and science-backed training methods that help dogs feel confident, safe, and understood. When caring for a dog, my priority is building trust and creating a calm, secure environment where they can feel comfortable. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort zone, so I try to meet them where they are with patience, consistency, and kindness. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more shy and cautious, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and respected. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks before work, during lunch breaks, and in the evenings, and I’m able to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. If I’m boarding a dog, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time and will get plenty of love, supervision, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so making them feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the routine comes naturally to me. I have a cozy, dog-friendly apartment and a very friendly, playful Labrador Retriever mix who enjoys the company of other dogs. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where dogs can settle in and feel at home. There’s a small dog park in my building that’s great for quick potty breaks and late-night outings when needed. On a typical day, my dog and I go on an hour-long walk during my lunch break, followed by a longer outing to the park after work. When caring for other dogs, I adjust routines based on their needs to make sure they’re getting the right amount of activity, attention, and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications if needed, and any specific instructions, and I always make sure to communicate with the owner as often as they want.

About: I am a responsible and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I have helped care for pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I am patient, reliable, and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home or running local errands, so I can easily fit pet visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine. My partner also has a flexible schedule and is happy to help when needed, allowing us to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I will provide patient, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress-free experience.

“Darren and his family welcomed us with warmth and kindness. We are nervous first time dog owners and were unsure how this new experience would go. Everything was clean and safe. Our pup immediately felt at home with Darren and his family. Darren was thoughtful, diligent, and practical when we talked about our dog's care needs. Our pup enjoyed walks, and got her regular meals and naps. When we picked her up, she was playing and happy. Her mood was great the rest of the night. We look forward to many more doggy daycare days with Darren and his family!”

We had the absolute best experience with Anastasiia doing day care for our 2 year old Cavapoo. From the very beginning, she were kind, communicative, thoughtful, and clearly so loving with dogs. Our pup was cared for like family, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We received great updates, our dog was happy and relaxed when we returned, and it was obvious Anastasiia had been given so much attention, affection, and care. It is such a gift to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and we could not recommend her more highly. We would absolutely book again in a heartbeat!

Sarah is fantastic. She's extremely responsive and personable on top of being an experienced and knowledgeable dog caretaker. She noticed and updated me on nuances of my dog's behavior throughout the day in terms of how she got along with the others and seemed to be settling in. Knowing my dog, I can tell Sarah was really paying attention and was spot on in her observations. My dog came home relaxed with a wagging tail and was excited to go back for the second day!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saranap

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saranap on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 5,161 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Saranap. 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 Saranap 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 5,161 sitters in Saranap, 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.
