“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“What can I say about Mary Ann that hasn’t been said before? She is absolutely wonderful and really cares for your pet. I was anxious to leave my puppy but we did a meet and greet first and that went very well. The day of actual care, I was still anxious (but that’s me being overprotective) heard my baby bark and I almost turned around but then I heard Mary Ann talking to her and I didn’t hear her bark anymore. Mary Ann really loves pets. I received regular updates and pics to let me know how she was doing. My baby had a huge smile in each pic. Even when I picked her up you could tell she was happy to see me but kept wanting to go back to Mary Ann. ? I am definitely going to use Mary Ann again. Couldn’t ask for a better person.”
“Laura and Brian were very kind and accommodating. Laura sent frequent updates and pictures which were very appreciated. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“Maria and her daughter as so incredibly sweet, kind and supportive. It was my first visit & they made me feel very comfortable and gave me updates. Communication was great!”
“Lauren was great. She met me before hand so I could intro our dogs, sent lots of pics of my pup, and walked her twice. She was great. I would book her again.”
“Such a sweet family! It takes a while for My Baby Bailey to warm up to people, but Bailey immediately adored them! For that, I know Bailey truly enjoyed staying with Alexis, Melissa & their baby! She was very attentive to him and sent me tons of photos and videos to make me feel at ease. They are such a warm loving, caring family that took such amazing care of my baby while I was away for work! I would highly recommend them!”
“We are beyond grateful for everything Brenda has done for us. She has always been there for our requests, even the last-minute ones and never makes us feel like an inconvenience. Oakley absolutely loves his walks and outings with her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I haven’t been able to leave a review every single time we’ve booked her, but we keep coming back to Brenda for a reason. She’s reliable, caring, and truly amazing.”
“Ilona has been great with our dog! She was recommended to us by a fellow dog parent and we’re very thankful for Ilona - she takes great care of our dog, sends us a detailed care information after each visit, and the kids are so good with our dog as well. Bonus that Ilona is close to our home! Her communication is quick and is flexible when our pick up and drop off times need to shift on short notice.”
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pet!:) I help with walks, feedings, and medication, and playtime of course. I’m really patient with all kinds of pets, from puppies to older dogs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m currently in online school, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available for you anytime of the week! I always pay attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s extra playtime, cuddles, or a little space. I want to always make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have also had my own Yorkie Terrier I cared for with much love. I know what it’s like to care for and own a dog and I will make your dog feel at home and treat them as if they were my own fur baby. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animals anytime since it’s summer!! I’m free most weekends days except Thursdays and Sundays 8am-12pm. Some weekends depending!! I have a small front area they could go pee at when it’s late at night or even early in the mornings. They will be taken on walks twice a day and given the nutrients they need including water, treats, and dog food.
About: I’m a true dog lover and treat every dog like part of my family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I currently have Olive, my 4-year-old Boston Terrier, and Chewy, my 14-year-old Shih Tzu, so I understand both energetic playtime and gentle senior care. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I provide personalized attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog will stay in a loving home with a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time and play. I have two dogs of my own, Olive, my energetic and playful Boston Terrier, and Chewy, a sweet senior Shih Tzu. Because Olive loves to play and has a high-energy personality, I prefer meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit.
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
“So far so good. Wrinkles was anxious when I brought her over to Karn but when I checked in two hours later Karn said that she calmed down eventually and was able to stay tge whole afternoon. Thank you Karn!”
About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! My name is Crystal, and together with my roommate Jinny, I’m thrilled to offer a loving haven for your furry friends. We live in a spacious, pet-friendly home that's perfect for pet visitors and overnight guests. I have two wonderful Pomeranians—one is a charming 20 lb tan furball, and the other is a delightful 9 lb blue merle sweetheart. We also have the pleasure of sharing our home with Yangi, our American Domestic Shorthair cat. Pets have been a central part of my life since childhood, having raised not only dogs but a variety of small pets including rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Jinny shares this passion for animals, and she has two beautiful German Shepherds that enjoy lounging in our large backyard. We understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are in good hands, and we strive to ensure that all animals in our care are treated with the love and attention they receive at home. Our household is perfect for pets needing a cozy stay. Jinny and her husband work from home, ensuring someone is always around to offer a comforting presence, while I am home most of the time during weekdays and all weekend. We’re introverts in our mid 30s and early 40s, so our idea of a great time is being surrounded by wagging tails and purring companions rather than nights out in the town. We look forward to welcoming your pet to our home, where their comfort and happiness are our top priorities. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or to arrange a meet-and-greet. We can't wait to become part of your pet's extended family! I am home most of the time, and my roommates work from home! Someone is available to watch your baby/ies carefully all day~ I am also home all weekend as well, so I can give your pet my full attention. If you are crate training your dog, we can definitely do that at night. For my pets, they all freely roam the house. If your dog is not properly potty trained, we just ask that you provide doggie diapers for their stay, and we’re all good to go~
“Amazing! Kindness, warmth and complete kindness and super consideration! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so grateful. I’m a worried mom, as are others, but I was reassured and greatly respected. My puppy was so loved and cared for! I couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommendation.”
“Thank you thank you thank you! Natalie was amazing with my dogs even the shy one of the bunch! Definitely would recommend and will definitely use her services again! ??”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sylmar on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Sylmar 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 6,627 sitters in Sylmar, 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.
