“Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“I was very hesitant in leaving my pup due to me never wanting to leave him with anyone , but today I had to leave town for the day.. I felt comfortable leaving macho with her. She sent me pictures and we talked through out the day! My pup never potty outside before , and today he did!! He must of had fun because he’s been sleeping since I got him back lol.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child all the way from administration of medicine to birthing animals on a farm to just feeding and walking and loving on animals. I have had experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I have also helped train animals on and off. I would love to have the chance to be your fur babies next best friend. I am free almost always as I work from home. I work from home and I am free almost always and always can make time for animals. I am free mornings all the way to evenings. I live on a farm in a fenced in yard. My sheep are separated from the other animals but do well around the sheep but I would keep clients animals away. One dog is an outside dog but comes in and one is a full time inside dog. She sleeps with me and loves to go on car rides and both are friendly animals. I have cats who live on the farm but they do there on thing and get along well with other animals. I can follow instructions well if you have a certain way you would like things done.
About: Hi, my name is Megan. I own a house in Sutter with a big backyard. I grew up on a ranch, so animals have been a big part of my life. I have volunteered at my friend's animal boarding facility. I love being around animals and I recently lost my dog due to old age. I will take care of your animal with as much love as I have taken care of mine. I work remote and can provide full time care. I take them on multiple walks a day, and have a secure back yard to run around in. I have a fenced yard and have had dogs all my life. My 15 year old springer spaniel recently passed away, and miss the love both animal and person provide each other.
“Wes did such an amazing job taking care of my boy today. Wes kept me up to date throughout the day and kept Cade entertained and happy all day. I would highly Wes to anyone looking for pet care services. Thank you again Wes!”
“We came to Nevada City for a wedding and needed to find daycare for our dog Buckeye. Aron had wonderful revues and lots of repeat customers, so we felt good about leaving Buck with him. It was a great experience and Aron was as wonderful as his revues. We especially enjoyed receiving photos of Buck enjoying himself in the wading pool while we were at the wedding. Buckeye had a great time with Aron and his other dog charges and was a happy and tired boy when we picked him up. We highly recommend Aron.”

About: As an enthusiastic pet lover with a full-time job at a pet store and the proud owner of two adorable cats, I have immersed myself in the world of pet care for years. Growing up with dogs has instilled a deep understanding of canine behavior, while my feline companions have given me unique insights into the needs and quirks of our feline friends. This combined experience allows me to cater to both dogs and cats with the utmost love, attention, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around your pet’s comfort—ensuring regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours, meals on time, play sessions, and lots of affection. Whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, I make sure your pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for. Compassion First: I treat every pet like family, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness. Experience Counts: My experience at a pet store and as a multi-pet owner has taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors, dietary needs, and situations—whether it’s picky eating, anxiety, or energetic zoomies. Tailored Care: I adapt to each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer medications, or work with special needs pets.
“Great communication, including with a last minute booking. Daman is very friendly and clearly a dog lover. I felt at ease leaving our little guy with her for the day. Sure sent pics throughout and made pickup/drop off a breeze. Looking forward to working with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Cyn, and I’ve been caring for pets consistently since 2022, both through Rover and privately, with several returning clients each year. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I have experience with crate training, basic commands like sit, and leash walking. I truly love dogs and animals of all kinds, and I enjoy providing loving, reliable care while owners are away. I’m available nearly full-time and am a part-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule so I can focus my attention on your pets. If allowed, I’m happy to provide basic baths at no extra cost so your pet can go home feeling clean and refreshed. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have pets of my own. I also offer drop-in visits and will always follow your instructions closely while keeping you updated. Thank you for considering my services — I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby! I’m available full-time for pet care with a flexible schedule. The only time I'm restricted until may 30 is Monday evenings from 6 to 9 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment while following all owner instructions carefully. I supervise playtime, respect routines, offer crate care if needed, and send updates so owners feel comfortable and informed.
“I tried Rover for the first time yesterday with Ashleigh in Bakersfield. At first, never having done it I was a little worried but Ashleigh was so nice and friendly. She was very welcoming when I dropped off Bella and when I went back to pick her up, I could tell Bella was comfortable in her home. I also found out Bella learned how to use a doggy door which is nice and new. Would definitely trust Ashleigh with my dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you, Tylyn! So happy Stella was safe and happy with you during my class. Tylyn responded quickly and accommodated my last minute booking. Received status pics during the day which I always appreciate. Highly recommend!!”
“Absolutely amazing! Dan always goes above and beyond to take great care of Kamora. He’s reliable, caring, and communicative. He always makes sure she feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, chickens, milking goats, sheep, horses, and even more unique animals—so being attentive to different personalities, needs, and behaviors comes naturally to me. While I didn’t have pets for several years after moving out of my childhood home, I now have my own dream dog and have spent the past year actively training and caring for him, including teaching basic commands and fun tricks. I take an intuitive, empathetic approach and focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, content, and cared for. As a parent, I understand how important trust and reliability are when it comes to caring for a family member—pets included. I’m communicative, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. My schedule revolves around my kids, so I have the most free time while they are in school to care for all your pet’s needs. My hours of availability fall between 8am - 1:15pm. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks. I focus on providing dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, companionship, or a walk. I’m happy to send updates/photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Amber is wonderful! She spent all day dog-sitting my little beastie and even putting up with her messy, water-loving antics at very short notice. Amber sent me videos of Scout during the day so I could see all the fun they were having together, too. What a great first experience with both using Rover and Amber!”
About: I've had all kinds of animals growing up, and have owned my own pooch for over 10 years, I guess you can say I love spoiling my pets and treating them like a real member of the family! Of course my fur babies fit into my everyday routine, tlc every morning, noon and night! Feed well, treats, grooming, and lots of spoiling, love and kisses!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sunset
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 122 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sunset. 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 Sunset 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 122 sitters in Sunset, 82% 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.
