Our pup was in good hands. Magda is so nice and you can tell she cares about all the dogs she watches. The fact that she had a fenced front and backyard are a big plus. Cleo slept through the whole night and even when we took her out of her crate she just laid in bed. We will be using her services again!

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I currently have two boys of my own: Basil, a French Bulldog, and Cashew, a Morkie. I also regularly care for a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua, and several other breeds, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to seniors, I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. Your pup will be loved, watched closely, and treated like one of my own. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule that fits pet care naturally into my day. I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and for boarding or sitting on weekends. I also have availability during school breaks and holidays, so I’m a reliable option when you need coverage during those busy times. The safety of every pet in my care is my top priority. At my home, I have a dedicated fenced-off area just for dogs, so they have a secure space to move around freely. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do a full walkthrough to make sure all doors, gates, and exits are secured before letting any pup roam. I stay hyper-aware and attentive at all times — your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely looked after.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was a child myself! From Pomeranians, to terriers, to huskies, I enjoy caring for them all. Your dogs will love hanging with me and going for walks. I have a very quiet, stress-free home (just me and my husband) which will especially be great for dogs that are sensitive to loud noises. I will do all I can to make sure they are treated like family and feel comfortable with me. I’m currently off work for the Summer as I am employed in a school district. I don’t go back until late August so I have pretty open availability aside from some events here and there over the Summer. Whether you need overnight care or just a couple hours of day sitting, I’d be happy to help. I have a one bedroom apartment with pretty open space. It’s just me and my husband (who works until 5pm). We’re in a neighborhood where I can safely take your dog for walks or outside to use the restroom. We do not have a fenced yard… but there is a grassy area for your pets to use the restroom right outside my place as well as many other grassy areas when we go for walks.

About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats, and have dedicated 17 years to caring for them. My experience includes working at various pet hotels, where I provided loving, attentive care. Animals bring me joy, and I’m passionate about ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for every day. My pup that I had for 16 years passed in March 2024 and I can’t find the heart to get another pet of my own, but I would love to help others take care of theirs. I work from home and I’m very flexible. I also have reliable transportation, it is also a large vehicle so I am able to transport large dogs/pet equipment I have a very large property that is fully enclosed and double gated… The front gate facing the street is an iron 6 foot gate.

I’m a newer puppy parent and it can be a bit stressful to leave your little ones with a sitter. HOWEVER, Jennell is more than a sitter, she loves and cares for my boy as if he were hers and I am super grateful for that. I feel totally comfortable and secure that while my boy is with her and her family, he is happy and safe! Love, love, love Jennell’s heart for our fur babies!

About: Animals have always been family in my home. I had a Terrier who I cared for throughout every stage of life into their elderly years, which gave me experience with senior dog care, patience, and understanding changing needs as dogs age. I’ve also spent a lot of time around other family dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs. I understand that every dog has their own temperament and comfort level, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like part of the family. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or shy and anxious, I’m patient, attentive, and focused on creating a calm environment where they can feel comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, so I am almost always home with the dogs. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy giving them attention and affection. My home is very family-oriented, and pets are treated like part of the family. I will be the primary caregiver at all times but there will be tons of love from my family as well. I have a fully enclosed fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, run around, and get fresh air. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks around Uptown or to local parks for exercise, stimulation, and fun. Since I spend most of my time at home, I am able to provide consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family and have a safe, comfortable environment with access to our fully enclosed fenced backyard for exercise and outdoor time. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for based on their individual personality and needs. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, dog sitting, and boarding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra patience, I focus on creating a calm, caring experience and keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind.

About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 7 years old. I had a husky mix growing up, a very active dog all black with a curly tail I'd walk regularly and keep active. I now have two small breed dogs. A chihuahua mix named Brownie that's just 8 lbs, rescued in 2015 and I have a Rat Terrier named Taco and he was rescued in March 2020, he's about 15 lbs. All their shots are up to date and they are neutered. I am an active runner/walker and I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks regularly/daily. I take them out for about 1 mile or more if we're going out on trails or more adventures. I've traveled with my dogs by plane and by car. I'm very comfortable with dogs! Love spending time with them. I've walked my dogs and others dogs now for years. I have a two active pups to play with should they wish but otherwise they're welcome to play and have fun how they wish. I love to let them have fun.

About: I've been a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I currently care for my own friendly Maltipoo and have regularly watched dogs for friends and family over the years. My experience includes caring for dogs with separation anxiety, maintaining feeding and walking routines, and administering medications when they can be given through treats or pill pockets. Because every dog has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing with company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I work remotely and spend most weekdays at home, allowing me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I'm also available most weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Because I work from home, I'm able to check on pets frequently and provide regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and attention. This setup works especially well for dogs that enjoy companionship or may experience mild separation anxiety when left alone for extended periods. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, providing a secure environment for supervised outdoor time and play. Before each booking, I like to learn about your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide individualized care. I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications through treats or pill pockets when appropriate, and following detailed care instructions. I know how reassuring updates can be while you're away, so I provide regular communication and photos throughout each stay. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family members, and I strive to care for every dog as if they were my own.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. From my own pets to those of friends, family, neighbors, and clients, I’ve always been someone people trust with the animals they love most. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I’ve raised cats, cared for a litter of kittens from birth until they found their forever homes, and have also had the privilege of being there for several dogs during their final chapter of life. It was an honor to provide comfort, companionship, and a peaceful presence during such a meaningful transition. I believe every pet is unique, with their own personality, routines, and ways of feeling safe and happy. I take the time to understand what each animal needs, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, medication reminders, or extra cuddles. My daughter, the only other person in our home, works in veterinary medicine, so animals are truly a part of our everyday life. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me flexibility and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday care depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection so your pet feels happy and secure. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets receive individual attention and care. I have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and special care. My daughter, who is the only other person who lives in my home, works in the veterinary field, so our household has an added level of knowledge and awareness when it comes to animal health and wellbeing. I will treat your pet like part of my own family and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hello, new friends!!!! I don’t just watch pets I genuinely care for them like they’re my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m patient and attentive with puppies, helping reinforce basic training, potty routines, leash manners, and positive behaviors. I understand how important consistency is at that stage, and I’m happy to follow (or support) your training preferences. I also have a gentle, calm approach with senior pets, including those who need slower walks, extra reassurance, medication administration, or special care. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility and keep owners fully updated. Communication is a big priority for me you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Above all, I aim to create a low-stress, loving environment where your pet feels secure, respected, and cared for every step of the way. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to keep a close eye on feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Because of this flexibility, weekend boarding is my specialty. I love having pets stay with me over the weekend where they can enjoy a calm, comfortable environment, plenty of companionship, and a routine that feels like home. Whether it’s extra playtime, relaxed lounging, or sticking closely to your pet’s usual schedule, I’m able to adjust my days around their needs. Being home allows me to provide a more hands-on, reliable experience so pets feel safe, cared for, and never rushed. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment where they can truly feel at home. I have a large, fully fenced yard, which allows for frequent outdoor time and safe play. Pets receive potty breaks about every hour, along with regular exercise and supervised yard time to keep them happy and active. Inside my home, pets are free to roam and settle wherever they feel most comfortable whether that’s lounging, playing, or relaxing nearby. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any special instructions, to help reduce stress. My goal is to give pets plenty of attention, movement, and care throughout the day while making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and treated like part of the family. 🐾

This was my first time using Rover and I was immediately drawn to Cristina because of her great reviews. I had contacted Cristina through the app to see if she was available in June to watch my dog Lexi. Cristina was super helpful in walking me through the process and answered all of my questions. In preparation for Lexi’s longer stay, I brought her to daycare with Cristina. Lexi is super sweet but has grown more attached to me since I have been working from home for the past year. Cristina took the time to make Lexi feel comfortable and gave her love and attention to get her more comfortable being away from me. She sent me a few videos of Lexi throughout the day which was awesome! Even though Lexi was having a hard time with me leaving, seeing the great care and expertise Cristina gave her while I was away made me feel so comfortable leaving Lexi with her! She is truly great!

Having grown up with dogs, I have constantly been around them and have grown to be comfortable with them. I am also willing to learn and adapt to take care of and meet the needs of your animal as best as possible. Every time I go to walk, play, or take care of your dogs, I will commit to showing them all the love while you are away! I have a dog of my own- a while Terrier Mix that is always full of energy! I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a ton of availability and am able to accommodate lots of walks, drop-ins, and house sittings as needed. I am also able to accept last-minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to take your doggy on walks or to the park. Anything that you already do to make your dog feel comfortable!

My experience with Eric was great!! It was my first time leaving my dogs with somebody that isn’t family so I was really nervous. Both my dogs are French bulldogs and it was reassuring to know that he has French bulldogs himself. So I know he’s experienced with these types of dogs. He was communicating with me throughout the whole day and also sent me multiple pictures of my dogs. I appreciated that!! I look forward to booking him again in the future! I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!

We were traveling from out of town and needed a Dogsitter for our little baby Diego and were grateful to find Crisabel and Steve. Diego immediately felt right at home and it was a huge relief for us. We only wish Crisabel lived in our town because theirs would be Diego’s second home. He also loved Billie Jean, their Boston Terrier. Definitely made it more fun for him.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - South Whittier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Whittier on Rover is $27.75 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 8,897 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across South Whittier. 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 South Whittier 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 8,897 sitters in South Whittier, 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.
