“Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!”
“First and best experience with doggy day care! Sara is amazing - so amazing Sugar acted as if I was a stranger. Sugar had so much fun she was tired and napping away when I picked her up. She was definitely showing me some attitude when leaving Sara’s; I’m sure Sugar wanted me to continue working for another 8+ hours. Sugar and I both highly recommend!”
“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”
“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”
“We were visiting Folsom for a birthday party and left our Pomeranian with Shannon for about 4 hours so we wouldn't have to worry about Belle getting fed by the kids and all. It was so nice to be able to relax while Belle hung out with Shannon and some other dogs! All went well and we got a few videos of Belle! Shannon was very good at communicating with us.”
About: Hi there! 💕🐾 I’m Sofia! I’m a stay-at-home mama, lifelong animal lover, and someone who has always had a soft spot for our four-legged friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas and Frenchies to Greyhounds, playful puppies, sweet seniors, and shy little pups who need some extra TLC. **When you're away, your pet deserves a little vacation of their own!** 🐾 Think of my home as Auntie Sofia's house, where your fur baby can enjoy cozy naps, neighborhood walks, couch cuddles, lots of affection, and someone who will absolutely talk to them like they're a tiny human. 😂 I know every animal has their own personality, routines, and funny little quirks. I'm happy to follow their usual schedule, including meals, medications, training cues, and bedtime routines. **Cat lover, too!** 🐱 I offer drop-in visits for nearby kitties, including feeding, fresh water, litter care, playtime, and some good old-fashioned company. I'm also happy to discuss care for other small pets! **A little about our home:** 💗 Our home in El Dorado Hills is cozy, relaxed, and full of love! We have a sweet, curious toddler, so pets staying with us must be comfortable and gentle around young children. Safety is always my priority. I'm experienced in recognizing canine stress signals, managing challenging behaviors, and maintaining safe boundaries. All interactions are supervised, and everyone gets their own space to relax when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether you're away for a weekend or a longer trip, my goal is to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love. **A little vacation for them and peace of mind for you!** ✨ Can't wait to meet you and your little bestie! 💗 I’m a stay at home mama, so I’m home almost all the time unless my daughter has an appointment. 💕 Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, so having a pup with me feels very natural. I like to let my routine flow around the pet I’m caring for - whether they need extra walks, frequent potty breaks, medication, playtime, a quiet nap buddy, or approximately 47 cuddles before noon. 😂🐾 I’m happy to follow whatever schedule helps them feel happiest and most at home. I’m a stay-at-home mama, so I’m home with my furry guests most of the day and able to give them lots of attention, supervision, and reassurance. I’m always happy to follow special diets, medication instructions, training routines, or any other needs your fur baby may have, and I keep a close eye on them while they’re in my care. I also love keeping pet parents in the loop with plenty of photo updates and little check-ins, because nobody wants to wonder what their baby is up to. 😂💗 Whether your pet is staying with me or I'm helping, my goal is simple: keep them safe, secure, happy, loved, no matter what!
About: I love cats and dogs and will make sure they get lots of attention and that their area is kept clean and tidy so you come home to a nice place! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so very familiar with what to do. Happy to take care of yours or take your pups on a nice walk😊 I work from my phone so can essentially do anything or be anywhere as needed. Works out perfectly for me to go and take care of pets! I will make sure your pets have attention and that their area and the house or apartment is well taken care of and kept clean
“Amanda was great. She sent me pictures throughout his day. He obviously had a great day because he fell asleep before we got to the end of her street and he ate dinner and snored and slept all night. I'll definitely use her for my sitting needs.”
“Highly recommend. I have a small dog that suffers from separation anxiety. Rachel made sure that our dog felt safe and provided her plenty of company. Rachel was very responsive, professional and friendly. She has a beautiful home and a safe back yard, and lives in a great neighborhood with good places for dog walks. We look forward to more stays with Rachel in the future.”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”
“Oreo had such a wonderful time with Barbara! 🐶❤️ She took great care of him and made sure he had a great walk and plenty of playtime. Her dog was super friendly, and Oreo had so much fun playing with her. It was so nice knowing he was in such a caring and loving environment. I really appreciate how well she took care of Oreo and would definitely recommend Barbara. We’d be happy to have Oreo stay with her again”
About: Hello, my name is Renee and I'm a dog mom for over 8 years now and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have a 55 pound spaniel rescue and grew up with Rottweilers so pretty familiar with different kinds of dogs and their needs. I truly love spending time with dogs, I love seeing the joy on their faces during play time, outdoor adventures, and during cuddle time. I'd love to help take care of your fur baby in the way that they need! I work remotely so I can devote plenty of time to your fur baby, which means plenty of walks, play time, so your pet will never feel alone When doing drop-in visits or sitting in your home I will always make sure your pet and your space are taken care of with the most utmost respect. Looking after your pet and space is a privilege and happy to help where I can.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Animals seem to gravitate to me. I can also help with training issues, as I've been around animals my whole life. I have my own dog, who loves everyone, the dog park, swimming and playing ball. I am available anytime during the day from 9-6, although very flexible and could start and end according to the needs. I am very responsible and reliable. safety of course is number one priority. I can house sit and play or just hang out if needed. My dog is rarely left home alone. He loves the car so I take him with me when I can..
About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.

“I can’t say enough good things about Leslie. She is the perfect dog sitter. Leslie was so kind and patient with my very sweet but somewhat timid little maltipoo. She has her home set up perfectly for dog care and is very flexible in meeting the needs of the dogs she watches. Her back yard is lovely and very secure. I highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Smithflat is $31 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Smithflat 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.
As of November 2026, there are 681 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
