“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
“Thank you so much, Roshanak! You took care of our baby Lucy like she was your own. You kept us informed, sent us videos, were very sweet and thoughtful, and were very flexible with our pick-up time. We will definitely reach out again when we are in town. Lucy loved staying with you. Thank you!”
“Easy pickup and drop off. Karalin helped me in a bind and always responded quickly with a puppy that’s a handful and did an excellent job taking care of him. She was very attentive and receptive to Bucky’s needs.”
“Sarah is amazing and has an excellent knowledge of animal behavior which makes her especially good with my puppy as she is learning how to be a well behaved dog and these early months are so important for her to learn to be the best dog she can be. I love that Clairee has supervised play with Sarah’s other dogs as socializing is so important. I can’t express enough how happy I am to have found Sarah. It’s like striking gold. My Clairee comes home very happy and content. Sarah sends me updates throughout the day with pictures and notes of how the day is going and I get a report of her elimination and intake. I highly recommend Sarah, she is superb!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. My faith has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, reliability, and caring well for every living thing entrusted to us. I have extensive experience house sitting and caring for multiple types of animals including dogs, cats, and birds, and I’m very comfortable managing homes with several pets at once. I also have experience caring for high-anxiety and sensitive animals and understand the importance of helping pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. Friends, family, and clients have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, administer basic care, and provide dependable companionship for their pets. I treat every animal like family and genuinely love creating a peaceful, trustworthy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because animals have always been a huge part of it. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care, walks, check-ins, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home and caring for your pets. I always strive to create a calm, safe, loving, and dependable environment for every animal in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, and any special requests to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have experience caring for anxious and sensitive animals and know the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
“First time here for doggy daycare. Oliver had a great time and I knew from our meet and greet that he’d be well cared for. Loree sent a lot of pictures throughout the day which were fun to see. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I'm so excited to get to know your pet. I work from home full time and have a fully fenced-in backyard. I have experience with senior dogs (including my own 16 year old puggle!), administering meds, and puppies I work fully remote Monday - Friday, so I'm able to spend plenty of time with your pet based on your needs. Whether your pup loves long adventurous walks or snacks snuggles at home, I'm ready for it. I have a fenced in back yard and a walking trail right outside my house. My senior puggle gets along with any dog, cat, and human she's ever met!
“Jason and Rachel took amazing care of my pups! They agreed to book last minute and were very flexible with timing. Bouddi and Irie came home happy and tired, highly recommend”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog, Lulu, absolutely adores her and loves going to her house for daycare. I pay close attention to Lulu’s reactions to environments, and she communicates in her own way when she’s comfortable or not. In the past, I had to stop taking Lulu to a specific daycare because she would shake with fear/anxiety at drop-off, whine, and try to drag me back toward the entrance to leave. When I pull up to Natalie’s home at drop-off, Lulu whines to get out of the car and practically drags me to door to get daycare started. She greets Natalie so enthusiastically and with so much excitement. That’s the only review I really need. Lulu visits for daycare twice a week now. I appreciate that Natalie gives me regular updates throughout the daycare stay and includes several pictures. After each daycare visit, Natalie provides a handwritten note summarizing Lulu’s day. Lastly, she’s simply a very warm and nice person. I’m glad we found her!”
“Amanda was very nice. She gave us updates about both of our pups with photos. She was easy to work with and had great communication. The pups seem like they had a great time and got the exercise plus attention we needed.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Shelley! She is truly kind, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog, Jack, in her care. Her home is warm and welcoming, and it was clear right away that Jack would be comfortable and well looked after. Shelley treated him with so much love and attention, and we could tell he was in great hands the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Shelley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Where to start… WOW is all I can say! Michelle and Evan were fantastic since before even booking, so professional, and caring for our fur baby Kona! My husband and I felt that they treated amazing and even baked her doggie cookies spelling her name out, we as her owners have never done that, she just gets store bought from us lol and we knew that moment we made the BEST decision leaving her in their care! We will definitely be rebooking them in the future and recommend Michelle and Evan!! They send pics and videos during her stay which made us so happy especially our kiddos who missed her so much. Thanks again Michelle and Evan ?”
About: **BASE ACCESS** and ranked Star Sitter ⭐️ Proud dog mom of two-- Elsie (boxer/husky, a tripod!, 13), Carlie (Golden/German, 8). I recently moved back to Oceanside, but have walked/petsat all of the furry/feathered friends full-time on Rover for a year in Colorado! You can find more client testimonials or cute pictures on IG under my business name: LittleChaosPetCo 😺 You can expect that your pet will come back from any visit with me safe, happy, and probably....very spoiled. So here's to the next chaotic adventure! 🤙🏼🌊 I do Rover full-time! I am available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks; please feel free to reach out, even if it's same-day. AND -- now offering boarding + day care! I have a big yard with a separate pen, so everyone's safe and happy at all times :) PLEASE NOTE: If you'd like to do a meet and greet and you're selecting "drop-in"'s, please select an additional drop-in for the meet and greet. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out and we can work something out :) So here's the thing. That older tripod boxer I have? She taught me every. single. lesson. a person needs to know to keep their dog safe. I am constantly scanning for other dogs, prey, physical obstacles etc. during walks and play time. I practice safe introductions whether or not your animal is familiar with the other animal we may encounter (neighbor, etc) because I'm also aware that their behavior might change from how they behave with their parent vs me! I think it's important your animal sees no change in their environment as far as trust/safety--their routine should stay exactly the same, if not with the addition of some more adventures!

I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible while in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they always have access to fresh water. I treat every pet like family and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Samira is a wonderful dog sitter! She sent pictures throughout the day, took my pup on walks, and has a wonderful pup of her own that my girl loved playing with. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely reach out when we need a sitter again!
Thank you so much, Roshanak! You took care of our baby Lucy like she was your own. You kept us informed, sent us videos, were very sweet and thoughtful, and were very flexible with our pick-up time. We will definitely reach out again when we are in town. Lucy loved staying with you. Thank you!
Brianna and Charles are wonderful and so caring! They paid attention to our doggie's needs and she also didn't seem anxious being left with them as she normally is. We feel more than comfortable leaving her with Brianna and Charles again during our long upcoming trip!

Amanda was the first person we left our Winnie with and we’re so happy we did. Amanda was communicative with pictures of our pup during daycare and very flexible with pickup and drop off times. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will definitely be using her again

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Vista on Rover is $36.63 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 Vista 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 3,574 sitters in Vista, 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.
