About: Since childhood, I have been a devoted pet caregiver, with years of hands-on experience looking after dogs of all breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have long trusted me to provide high-quality care, including feeding, engaging play sessions, and attentive daily routines. I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free home environment for every pet. My goal is to ensure that your furry companion feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you are away. My part-time work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of high-quality time and attention to your pups throughout the day. Please feel free to reach out so we can communicate and find the best arrangement for your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my absolute priorities. My home features a secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have two friendly dogs who are great at socializing and keeping your furry baby company.
About: For over 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to being the best pet parent I can be, caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. My passion for animals goes beyond just the basics; I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care and a healthy, happy environment. I treat every pet in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve had pets for over 12 years, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and health check-ins are already built into my daily rhythm. This makes it easy for me to seamlessly incorporate your pet into my routine without disruption. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal as possible, because familiar surroundings and schedules help pets feel safe and stress-free. I follow any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and preferences. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and keep communication open by sending updates, photos, and messages so owners always know their pet is in good hands. I bring the same level of care and attention to your pet that I give to my own.

Caihua’s home is always incredibly clean, and she is extremely attentive and caring. She sends lots of videos and updates, which is truly reassuring for anxious pet parents. Every time Mario hears he’s going to her house, he gets so excited and can hardly wait. You can tell from your dog’s reaction that you made the right choice! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Mario every single time.
Exceeded my expectations. Great with communication. Great vibes from the minute we walked to the door. Xiaoting and her daughter were amazing. Loved all the pics and updates throughout the day. Myka was a happy pup…. Such a great day for her. Will definitely be returning soon! Thank you again!!!!
n’t say enough great things about Joely. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. I trust her completely, which says a lot because I’m very particular about who looks after my pups. Every time she watches them, I come home to happy, that peace of mind is priceless.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Walnut
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Walnut on Rover is $46.62 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 Walnut 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 8,931 sitters in Walnut, 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.
