“We just moved to the area and are thrilled to meet Halee! We did a quick meet and greet and then sent our dog for the day. I was particularly appreciative that when our timing changed, Halee went above and beyond to be flexible with us. She took our dog on really long walks, and he came home so happy! She even gave me some helpful tips, when asked, of how to train and support our dog. We liked her so much. We are already doing an overnight with her later this week. She loves dogs and was willing to price her services competitively which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with three golden retrievers, so I’m very used to zoomies, big personalities, and a little bit of chaos (in the best way). I loved every second of it. I’ve handled everything from long walks and endless games of fetch to feeding, baths, vet visits, and teaching basic commands. These days, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my friends whenever they travel. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that). You can expect a happy pup and plenty of updates while you’re away! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. On weekends, I spend most of my time in the city, enjoying parks, walking around, and hanging out with friends. Am happy to fit any needs into my schedule! I tailor my approach based on the individual needs of each pet. Regular walks, playtime, and exercise are essential components of my care routine, ensuring the pets stay happy and active.
“Megan was SO GREAT!! I booked very last minute and had an unpredictable schedule. She was flexible and communicative. Best of all, she and her family gave our pup so much love and sent us updates. I felt confident leaving Lui in Megan’s care. Thanks so much Megan & fam!!”
“Irene was good with Mamba. It was Mambas first time and he was very anxious. Irene was very mindful and made sure to want she can to make sure Mamba was less anxious. She took him on a walk and gave him lots of attention.”
“Ivy is a stellar pet sitter. From moment one, she was very attentive and caring, and she sent lots of photos. And she let Louise bring a toy back home with her.”
“Bruce was very communicative and went above and beyond to accommodate Ziggy’s quirks. He has a big yard which is great for all dogs to play. Also, Ziggy never eats on day one at a new place but he ate his meal on day 1 with Bruce.”
“Poppy ran happily to Sophie when I dropped her off after only meeting her once during the meet and greet. That says a lot since Poppy is an anxious little girl. She looked very happy when I picked her up as well. Sophie sent updates and photos and was very sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“Emily is wonderful. She took such good care of my puppy and took the time to send me videos, photos and updates. They went for walks and my puppy had so much fun playing with her dog. I am very happy and grateful to have found someone I can trust with my little guy and I know he can’t wait to visit again.”
“Jennifer is so sweet and did a great job with my dog. She was attentive and considerate toward his needs and was able to build a trusting relationship with him. She is reliable and communicative as well!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with someone through Rover and we’re so glad it was with Peter! He is super responsive and sent pictures throughout the day. We would recommend him to everyone!”
“Amanda and Steve met for a doggy park meeting beforehand and I knew they could be trusted from there. Amanda took great care of Missy and was very communicative the entire time. I revived many pictures where Missy looked very happy. Missy got along great with Amanda’s pup too! I will definitely book with them again!”
“Caroline is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable about dogs! She’s also very responsive and warm. My pup looked so happy and relaxed when I picked him up and I look forward to having him back with her in the future.”
“Lucia sent lots of pictures, and Poppy looked very happy and comfortable. I am super picky about who we leave our sweet girl with, so I am thrilled to have found Lucia and look forward to using her again!”
“Thank you Nicole! Mochi had a wonderful day with you and you took amazing care of her today 🤗. I loved her pictures and it gives me peace at work knowing she is so happy!”
“Mikele was fantastic with Archie! She was flexible when we were running way late for drop off. She sent lots of photos and made us feel so at ease while we were out. We hope Archie gets to see Mikele again soon!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Stinson Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 3,611 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Stinson Beach. 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 Stinson Beach 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 3,611 sitters in Stinson Beach, 87% 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.
