“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!!”

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!”

About: My attentiveness with dogs who need a little extra care. I've looked after a senior dog, learning to adjust to a slower pace and keep a close eye on her comfort and needs. I've also cared for a reactive dog, so I'm comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I'm home throughout the day to give your pup steady attention, and I treat every dog like one of my own. My mornings start around 8am with a 20 minute walk, followed by treats when we get home. I serve breakfast around 11am and offer treats a couple more times during the day. I usually let the dogs out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes once or twice between the morning and evening walks. In the late afternoon, around 4–5pm, I take the dogs to the dog park, or if it's too hot, we wait until 6–7pm for a 20–25 minute walk instead. Before bed, I let them out in my backyard one last time. Your pup will get steady attention, exercise, and lots of love all day long. My backyard is fully fenced and secure, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I have two friendly dogs of my own who make great company for visiting pups. At mealtimes I separate the dogs into different corners so each one can focus on their own food without stress. During the day I let them out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes at a time, and before bed I always go outside with them to supervise and make sure everyone is safe and settled. Your fur baby will be in a calm, secure, and attentive environment.

“I found the perfect family-style petsitter for my repeat visits to Cameron Park. Irina is a loving mom to her family of 2 and 4-legged kiddos as well as the pets that come for a short stay in her home. She was a wonderful communicator before and during my dog's stay. The photos she sent showed my Corgi was truly happy at Irina's place. I enjoyed talking to Irina about her positive experiences using Rover as a provider and I shared my success with finding a Rover pet sitter near my home in Aizona and now a sitter for a frequent destination in California. I highly recommend Irina and Rover.”

About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.

“Five stars, no hesitation. Luz came out to the curb to meet us at drop-off, which was such a thoughtful touch. There’s always that awkward moment as a first-time visitor where you’re not sure whether to knock or ring the doorbell, and she just took that off the table entirely. She followed all my care instructions carefully and, most impressively, rolled with a last-minute curveball: our younger dog ended up needing his neuter surgery earlier than expected, so she had to take on a whole set of post-op instructions with very little notice. She handled it without missing a beat. Her own dog was an absolute gem, calm, gentle, not a barker. That matters more than it might sound. I always worry about my dogs picking up bad habits from an anxious or reactive dog, and that was just never a concern here. Both of my dogs are Chihuahua mix puppies, which is exactly as much energy as it sounds like. She had nothing but kind things to say about them at pick-up, which honestly I appreciated, because I can barely say that about them on a high-energy day. Most telling: they were asleep within 60 seconds of getting in the car. That’s always my gold standard for a good stay. She was also wonderfully communicative throughout, sending pictures and videos regularly. I don’t always need that from a sitter, but with someone new, it means everything to know they’re being attentive. Luz absolutely was. I’ve used a number of sitters in the Roseville and Rocklin area over the years and honestly never walked away from a drop-off feeling truly at ease. This was the first time. I felt confident the whole time that my dogs were in the best possible hands. Highly recommend, especially if you have puppies or dogs with special needs.”

She gave Sophie plenty of attention and Sophie was relaxed and happy when we returned. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

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..

“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.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smithflat

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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 681 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Smithflat. 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 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 681 sitters in Smithflat, 89% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
