“Kimberly was great! She took excellent care of Jax and made him feel right at home. I’m definitely looking forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. From my first kitten at age five to the dogs and cats I care for today, I’ve always believed pets are part of the family. I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs in my care receive daily walks, along with plenty of attention and personalized care. I work from home full-time so your pet will get lots of time and attention from me. I want you to feel at ease with me watching your animal. I have a fenced in patio and a nice big yard in the front that I can walk your dog on a leash for potty breaks. I also live across the street from a very nice large park where I am happy to take the dog for some playtime.
“Cooper had a great time with Alyssa....I was very pleased when I picked Cooper up, he would have been happy to stay much longer. This was wonderful and I am so thankful that I found Alyssa.”
“Reeti and her family watched Sparky at their home daily for a week. I dropped sparky off in the morning and Picked him up in the evening and Reeti was annle to accommodate my early morning drop off time. I was worried because Sparky is wary about people outside the family and he became comfortable from the first day he stayed and it was great! Reeti sent photos that eased my mind and took sparky on walks and he now loves Reeti, her husband and children! I booked additional drop off and pick ups with her and now Sparky runs into their house without even looking back at me! He is so happy to be dropped off that I am beyond thankful and grateful for Reeti’s family for taking care of Sparky!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and a few cats!) for about 10 years now. I always treat the pets I watch as if they were my own! I’m on the UCSC track and cross country team which means I’m pretty active, so if your pet loves long walks or runs, I’m all about it!!

That means I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I just recently adopted 2 kittens and have been loving getting to learn the adorable quirks of cats, so I’d absolutely love to look after your cats as well ☺️ When I visit your pet in your home, I ensure all instructions are followed, everything is all cleaned up, and your pet is happy & loved!
“I wish we could have Irine as a forever sitter for Javy. She took the best care of him, providing playtime with her dog and 2 others she was sitting for. The pics and video showed what a fun time he was having, indoors & out. The next time we went to her house, Javy pranced right in, feeling right at home! If we lived in CA, we’d happily be a constant customer!”
“My Siberian Husky has such a special bond with Fiona and her family! He runs to their door and is very impatient to go inside their house - his Tractive collar shows he gets hours of activity, and he always comes home tired and happy beyond what I could imagine. Definitely the best Rover we’ve ever had!”

“We had a wonderful experience starting with our initial meet to Sunayana and her family welcoming Shelby( our gsd mix) to her home.She was welcomed and taken care of with patience.We appreciated timely updates and beautiful pictures.”
“Great sitters. Responsible, trustworthy, communicative. I can go to work with peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. They are very attentive and pay close attention to your dog. They have told me his mood, how his day went, and even a pointed out a new red mark that appeared on the inside of his ear.”
“I needed some daycare help at the last min. Michelle responded instantly and Iroh was at her place in a couple of hours after our first message. She is very kind and loving and took care of him. He returned happy, well fed, and tired playing with her dogs and going to the park with her son. I'll definitely re-use her services and recommend her :) Thanks Michelle!”
“Megan and her fiancée watched over the pups and were so lovely! Aspen and Lady seemed to enjoy their stay and weren’t stressed :) They were so friendly and communicated amazingly! Their property is also beautiful with a beautiful yard for the pups to run and explore. I would book again with them in a heartbeat next time I’m in town!”

“We left our 4 yr old dog with Rachna, and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. He came back happy at the end of the day. She took good care of him. This was first time our dog stayed with another dog and a cat, and they all got along fine. Rachna also sent pictures. Overall, we were very satisfied and happy with her. Will of course use her services again in future. Thanks Rachna.”

“Phenomenally trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Our puppy doesn’t usually like when I’m not around but she was so excited to go see Ying that I’ll probably be moving forward with booking her weekly. Very communicative, responsible, and caring.”

Ava has separation anxiety and we were very nervous about her first time being in a different home but Kimberly and Chris made her feel at home and she had a great time. We felt very relieved seeing pictures that they sent of her having a good time with them. 100% recommend Kimberly and Chris!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ulmar on Rover is $54.39 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 Ulmar 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 3,768 sitters in Ulmar, 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.
