“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!”
“We had a great experience! Miloš was very well cared for, and we really appreciated the frequent photos throughout the day. It made us feel relaxed and confident that he was in good hands. Highly recommend 🐾✨”
“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’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.
“Thank you for being the most wonderful sitter for my Jill. I'm so glad I found you. You've been a lifesaver for me over the years and I appreciate you so much. With my husband being retired Jill doesn't really even need to go to a sitter while I'm at work, but she does, 3 days a week, just because! Happy New Year to the Thomas Family.”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Luna! The time and attention she took to get to know Luna before she took care of and her, and her responsiveness while communicating before after after I booked- I really appreciate it all!”
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!
“Sarah was amazing with our puppy, Koda! This was the first time we’ve ever used a dog sitter, so we were definitely a little nervous, but she immediately put us at ease with her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs. She communicated throughout the entire day and sent tons of photos, which made us feel so much better while we were away at Disneyland. We also ran into horrible traffic on the way back, and our pickup time ended up being nearly an hour later than expected. Sarah was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and flexible despite the inconvenience. It was clear Koda had a great time with her—he even fell asleep in the car on the way home! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and will absolutely be reaching out to Sarah again for future sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“It was my first time using rover for my Nino, I was a little anxious but fortunately for me, Jason & Rachel were great! I got frequent updates and communication with as great! Definitely recommend, Nino looked happy in all the pictures I got!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!

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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Tristin enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my little dachshund while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Throughout the stay, Tristin kept me updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated her like part of her own family. She paid attention to every detail, made sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. When I picked her up, my dog looked happy, relaxed, and honestly seemed like she didn't want to leave! She even spent time looking for Tristin after coming home, which says a lot about the bond they built during her stay. As a pet parent, it's not easy trusting someone else with your furry family member, but Tristin exceeded every expectation. I can honestly say she cared for my dog as well as — and maybe even better than — I do. Her communication, kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and incredibly caring to watch your pet, don't hesitate to book with Tristin. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Tristin, for taking such wonderful care of my little girl! 🐾❤️
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

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.
