About: I used to have 27 cats and 2 dogs in my apartment. Many of them are picked up from the street or sick. After I work with the pet doctor, I training them, and help the autism and mental disabled people and seniors people. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekends and weeks day. My apartment has no other pet right now! And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.
“Amazing!!! I left my puppy sky with them for a couple hrs while I had to run some errands and she came back exhausted!!! (She’s never tired) thank you for sending updates and lots of photos of my baby will definitely be booking again with yall!”
“Megan is amazing!!! My dogs (9 and 3 month old poodles) loved staying at her house and her kids are the absolute sweetest and they played with my puppies. My puppies both just adore playing with kids. We will book Megan again anytime we need a sitter. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. Highly reliable and I felt very relaxed knowing my puppies were tested like family.”
“I would highly recommend Jessica and would definitely use her services again. She was quick to respond, attentive, very friendly, and welcoming of our dog. Jessica watched our dog Nyx last minute while we attended an expo in downtown Long Beach. Our time at the expo was not as long as we thought it would be so we let Jessica know and she responded quickly and we were able to pick up Nyx early. Nyx was happy when we picked her up and I could tell she was enjoying her time with Jessica and her family. Thank you Jessica!”
“Denise was such a lifesaver! I had a sitter cancel last-minute before a work event and Denise stepped in and saved the day! She immediately put me at ease when meeting her and she has the perfect setup for my senior dog who is starting to need bathroom breaks more often. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day so I was never worried about my pup. 10/10 will book her again!!”
“Shannon was great with Harley! At the meet and greet he ran right up to her, which he rarely does with strangers at the park. She was flexible with the schedule which was super helpful for drop off and pickup, and she made him feel calm and relaxed as evidenced by the many photos she shared with us. Highly recommend Shannon, and we hope she can watch Harley again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and care for a diabetic pup daily. I’ll treat your furry friend with all the love, patience, and pets they deserve! Caring for pets is part of my daily life. I balance walks, meals, and playtime around my career in the film industry, always giving love and attention. I provide loving, attentive care by following routines closely, ensuring safety, playtime, meals, and comfort- whether in my home or yours. Pets always feel safe and loved.
“Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles.
“Monique is our "go-to" person for taking care of Baxter. She provides wonderful care and manages to get him outside a bit even when the weather isn't so great. Thanks Monique, we really appreciate it!!”

“Last-minute booking due to the Garden Grove/Stanton evacuation, and I was so grateful to find Sara on Rover. She is amazing, caring, and super knowledgeable about dog behavior. My Snow is a shy girl, but with Sara she felt comfortable going on walks and car rides. Sara gave hourly updates and sent lots of pictures throughout the day. She is absolutely a gem, and I would definitely recommend her for dog daycare!”
“I would highly recommend Jacquelyn! She was very good with both of my young Rhodesian Ridgebacks, she was great with communication and flexibility. This was the first time I had left my young dogs somewhere other than home and with a new person, using positive training methods and a kind heart she set them up for a good experience. We are very grateful!”
About: Hi, I have 25+ years hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I give lots of love, attention, and dependable care so pets feel safe and happy. We walk, we play, cuddle and relax, they will have the best time ever! I will send pics so you will see your happy pup 🐾 Can’t wait to meet your precious pup! I currently work 4 hours a day during the school year and my husband works from home. We have a 3 year old lab that is great with all pups. If your pup wants to play she will play, if your pup wants to be left alone, she will leave them alone. Your pup will constantly have company. Your pup gets consistent attention throughout the day. I make sure each pup gets plenty of love, exercise, and care built into my day 🐾 I make sure your pup is comfortable, and stress-free. I pay attention to doors, feeding instructions, and I’m careful with medications if needed. Most importantly, I create a calm, loving environment so pups feel at ease and cared for while you’re away
“Lisa and her family were wonderful for our Tika! She went on a couple of walks, met school age kids and visited a lemonade stand. Lisa updated me with pictures throughout the day! Tika was loved and had a great day! We highly recommend Lisa and her family for your fur babies care!”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud Boston Terrier owner and dog-lover in Belmont Shore. I like to stay active and I would love to take your dog on a walk (my dog is lazy and would rather stay home!). Some places I like to dog-walk are the green belt and the beach path. I’m very experienced in taking care of short-nosed dogs. I can't wait to meet your pup! I work remote so my schedule is very flexible. For day care, I typically take dogs out for a morning, midday, and evening walk and then they can relax in the house or yard while I work. I have a small, fenced front yard that I allow dogs to spend time in with supervision. I have a small dog (Boston Terrier) that will also be in the home if you book day care. He is very friendly and enjoys other dogs after a few minutes warming up to them!
About: Hi! We are passionate dog lovers, my wife has over 2 years of professional dog walking experience and she’s currently training to become a dog behaviorist. Working with dogs is truly her passion, and we love getting to know every dog’s unique personality. She previously worked for a professional dog walking company that focuses on structured walks, which means your dog gets a walk that is not only fun but also calm, safe, and mentally enriching. We are comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to walking dogs professionally, she also volunteer rehabilitating rescue dogs, helping them build confidence, good habits, and trust. Because of this experience, she is especially patient with shy, anxious, or high-energy dogs. I work during nights so we are both home during the day to take care of your pups. Our goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for, while also providing the structure and exercise they need 24/7. Pietra is currently a Dog Behaviorist in training and Rescue Volunteer. I currently work per diem with a variable schedule so our schedules are very open! We live in a town house in a gated community in Huntington Beach. Our community is quiet and surrounded by greenery for them to run and play in. We also live around 3 miles from Dog Beach in Huntington for those owners who are comfortable with their babies socializing.
“Amazing communication. Got back to my request immediately. Took so many photos and videos of my cutie. Highly recommend!!! At pickup my pup was so tired and slept the rest of the day.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surfside
Makenna was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute, same-day booking, which we really appreciated. She was kind, a great communicator, and sent us lots of updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay. We felt our senior dog was in great hands! We’d definitely book with her again!
Megan and her family were so kind, loving, and attentive to our dogs. They sent photos, gave them lots of toys to play with, walked them several times during the day, had treats and even gave them baths! My frenchies can be a bit demanding and they took such great care of them, I felt totally at ease leaving our doggies with them. 🥰 We would love to book with them again when we’re back in the area!
Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!
Matt and Kim were incredible sitters! They sent us the cutest photos of Bogart with their son and made him feel so at home. They walked him and cuddled him (which is the quickest way to Bogart's heart) and treated him like their own <3 We'll definitely be booking with them again :)
Treana went out of her way to care for my two dogs. I needed someone last minute and she was able to help me out. By far the best sitter I’ve experienced, she updated me throughout the day with photos/videos. She was very communicative and responded quick. She took our dogs to the beach. She fed them and was able to give my dog the medicine he needed. Whenever we are in town we will definitely use her again. She exceeded my expectations by far! I felt really comfortable being out all day knowing my dogs were being well cared for so thank you so much!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Surfside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Surfside on Rover is $46.28 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 .

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 Surfside 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 7,418 sitters in Surfside, 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.
