“🐾 Five paws up for Ms. Chong! 🐾 Hi, it’s Lucky 🐶 (with Mom typing). I absolutely love staying with Ms. Chong! She’s kind, patient, and makes me feel right at home. Mom especially appreciates how flexible Ms. Chong is with her ever-changing schedule — that means the world to us. I’m always happy, well cared for, and loved when I’m with her. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough! 💙🐾”
About: I’ve raised dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, pigs, and taken care of other people’s dogs for awhile now. I love all animals and figured I could use my free time to help yours out! Im currently in between jobs so I have time. Long walks, cuddles, treats are all on the agenda. I really enjoy the company and love animals so much. Pups are safe at my home. So I’m available for day care, and possible overnights if discussed. Drop ins are no problem all day within a 10 mile radius of my work in Oceanside, and on weekends within a 15 mile radius of my home in vista.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.
“I love Sara’s day care!My 2 pups ( both Great Danes, 2 yo & 9 month old) were enjoying it very much. Sarah kept sending me updates and pictures, and even thd detailed report at the end of the day! I was worried first, because I never left my two little horses before at the daycare, but it went so smoothly with Sara’s help! My pups love it there, so do I :)) Next time I need someone to watch my fur babies , I know where to go!!”
“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 was great with our pup! Great communication and we got constant updates with pictures throughout the day. Our pup got a lot of outdoor time which she loves. She even gave us a written report card of what Sadie did throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: Dog mom of 25 yrs. Taken care of family and friends dogs as well. You're puppy will be given lots of attention whether be walking and/or playing, will be as happy or content as I can make the experience for them! I'm a stay home mom with my 12 yr old lab mix. We would love to have another companion join us for a walk down to our residential lake with paths and scenery. Play time is good in the house and doggy naps too! I have a very friendly dog and a fenced yard to explore new scents and perfect place to stretch out and take care of business.
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.
“Michele was great! Our dogs loved her & we felt comfortable leaving both our pups in her hands for the day. She followed directions and provided an update. Both pups went home tired with smiles.”
“Melinda and her family took the best care of our girl. Riley came back happy and full of love. Melinda was a great communicator and made it a very easy and enjoyable experience. We are already looking forward to the next play date!”
“Danielle and Austin were GREAT! This was our first sitting with them for Jamo and he felt so comfortable already. It’s been awhile for outside sitting for our little guy because my dad usually watches him. But dad lives out a little farther so it was nice to find Danielle and Austin so close to us. They provided pic updates on Jamo’s day with the other dogs. Jamo was happy camper when we picked him up. You can tell he was given a lot of love from this very nice family. We’ll be back! Thanks again guys!”
“Loree is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog, Olive, is very stubborn when it comes to eating but Loree figured out what to do to help Olive eat. I absolutely trust her with my girl. Highly recommend to everyone who may need a sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Saki had the best day with Bella and her husband! He came home happy, tired, and honestly seemed a little sad to leave them, which says everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Bella again, and Saki can’t wait to see them both!
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!
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!
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

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 3,542 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.
