“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Savannah! She took great care of my Yorkie and treated him like he was her own. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Janeece is amazing. She took great care of Pringle and kept me updated with regular pictures, which I appreciated. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, making sure Pringle was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. Knowing Pringle was in such great hands gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Janeece to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

About: About Me: Animals are my life’s work. My background is unique: I spent 20 years as a commercial airline pilot, a career built on extreme reliability, safety protocols, and being dependable under pressure. I bring that same disciplined "cool head" to pet sitting. Whether I’m managing a pack on a mountain trail, caring for a senior dog, or tending to a barn, your animals’ safety and your peace of mind are my priorities.R Rehab, Healing & Holistic Expertise: For over 15 years, I have specialized in rehabbing dogs with behavioral challenges. My approach is a blend of structured positive reinforcement and intuitive energy work: Behavioral Rehab: I have extensive experience with "difficult" cases, rescues, and high-needs temperaments. Energy Work & Reiki: I am trained in Animal Reiki and Emotion Code. This allows me to help animals release trapped emotions and settle into a calm, balanced state—perfect for anxious travelers or rescues with a traumatic past. All Species, All Breeds – No Discrimination I welcome all animals regardless of breed, size, or status. I am comfortable with "power breeds," giant breeds, and intact dogs, provided they are social and well-mannered and trained. The "Adventure" Standard: For my canine guests, we go on at least one long hike or intensive walk daily, often including outings to the lake and local trails. Farm & Livestock Care: Having run a farm animal rescue, I am experienced with horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry. I am happy to provide farm-sitting services for those who need a caregiver who truly understands livestock. Why My Experience Matters From the cockpit to the farm, I’ve spent my life being the person people count on. Whether your animal needs a high-energy mountain guide, a calm healing presence, or a knowledgeable farm hand, I have the experience and the heart to provide it. Feel free to ask me for a multi-animal discount! I am home full time dedicating my life to my animals. We typically head out for our long walk or hike in the morning after which everyone is having their meal. The exercise in the morning ensures a calm and happy pack for the rest of the day. My property is fully fenced in and dividable into three sections: Front yard, porch and backyard. The animals are my priority and are typically never left alone.
About: My home has a backyard and a designated dog run, giving dogs a safe space to get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m very outdoorsy, so if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d love to take them along! Depending on their needs and your preferences, I can offer neighborhood walks, lake walks, hikes, and other outdoor activities. Of course, I’m just as happy caring for a pup who prefers relaxing at home and getting lots of attention. I currently work part-time, and am happy to help provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I can ensure your beloved pet will have lots of interaction throughout the day and plenty of opportunities to enjoy our backyard and dog run. I want every pet staying with me to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a fully fenced yard and a designated dog run, giving your dog plenty of secure outdoor space to play, exercise, and relax. There are no other dogs or animals using these areas during your pet’s stay. We do have a bearded dragon who is safely kept in his own enclosure and separate from visiting pets. I also have a sweet 5-year-old boy who loves animals and would be thrilled to give your dog some extra playtime and attention, when appropriate and only with dogs who are comfortable around children. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs will always come first.
“I’m so glad we found Caesar and we would definitely use his services again. We took a trip to Big Bear with our kids and wanted to bring our 6 month old puppy along. Caesar watched him for us while we all skied. Drop off/pick up was easy. He’s located close to skiing and sledding. Caesar sent pics of our dog playing. It was positive all around.”
“Taylor has watched our pup twice so far and both times she has been fantastic!!!! She happily continued our efforts on basic training commands and potty training too !!! We can definitely recommend Taylor to anyone who wants the best for their fur baby !!!”
About: Hi! My name is Persia. I have been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for pets. I currently have one small dog at home- as well as two cats. I make sure all pets’ needs are met through daily feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and affection. I am patient, gentle, and dedicated to making small dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Hi! I am a college student back home in California for the summer. I am an animal lover in need of something to keep me busy over the summer, so this is what i chose to do! Spend time with animals and care, as i am very experienced and have grown up having pet animals. I am very experienced with pets, knowing the risks they take (running off, eating random twigs on the floor), so I will be a very attentive sitter. Your pet will not be lonely or left unattended by me! He/she can walk safely with me and be safe in my home. My yard is the largest in the city, and i have a dog play pen. They can run around in the dog pen! My house is also a free range for your pet.
“Moriah provides outstanding doggy daycare! Her property is expansive, allowing dogs to be able to run and play in the safety of a well fenced yard. My fur babies got to play with several other dogs in a large yard in safety. She and her family supervise all the dog play both inside her home and out. We look forward to having Moriah provise doggy daycare again. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for several years and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sugarloaf
she is the sweetest sitter ever. Our pug Lauren is one of the hardest dog to take care of but she still manages to make Lauren relaxed and have fun with other dogs. Savanna is attentive and loving with the dogs, she tries to make sure she can understand each dog behavior and habits. At the end of the day, she even gave us a probiotic pills as a gift for Lauren. Savanna said those pills work for her own dog so she wanted to give us to help with Lauren’s allergies problems. That’s the warmest gesture we’ve ever received.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sugarloaf
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 332 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sugarloaf. 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 Sugarloaf 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 332 sitters in Sugarloaf, 86% 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.
