“Our miniature pinscher had such a fabulous time. He will be so happy to return!!! Our chihuahua has warmed up to the idea of being under Briana's care a lot more than anticipated. She is a hard sell, but seemed happy! Will definitely be back!”
“Koi was in such good hands. Reginay kept us updated through out the day to let us know how Koi was doing. She also sent us pictures and videos. We definitely recommend Reginay. We will be booking with her in the future.”
“So lucky to have found Justin! I was in Sacramento for a work thing and had to find a sitter last-minute for my senior pup. Justin went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and was so patient with my dog. I felt like he really listened to my care instructions and is obvious he loves dogs. Truly appreciate him and wish we lived nearby so he could be our regular sitter!”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“Jonte and Julie were fantastic! Their entire house is built around dogs like a Disneyland doggy daycare. Top notch professionals with a ton of space for running and playing. It looked like they had what seemed to be an agility course in the back play area. I plan on using them whenever we go out of town, or even just to let our fur baby enjoy some socialization. Thank you so much!”
“Teddy had a great afternoon and evening. Communication was very quick and I love getting updates and photos. He had a great night and slept well when he got home. I will definitely use her again when we are back in the area thank you so much.”
“Miss Joanne was so kind and accommodating! She really made my puppy comfortable and worked on getting her socialized with her extremely friendly pets. She exudes a motherly vibe and you just feel you’re leaving your pet in great hands.”
“Chona was great with our dobie - took him in after a very last minute request, which is so difficult to find lately! She provided lots of photos & updates, which we greatly appreciate. She was also very communicative before & during his stay with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much Chona!🐶🤎”
“Upon meeting Lisa, I felt very much at ease. What a wonderful, caring individual. My dog, Louis, is always nervous when meeting new doggie sitters, but Lisa took him in her arms and I knew that Louis would be fine. I appreciated the update during the day. When picking up, Louis was in great spirits and I knew he had a great day. Thank you Lisa, and look forward to having you care for Louis again, in the fiuture!!”
“Jasmine had a daytime stay with Rochelle and her lovely family. I was so happy to see how much her children enjoyed having Jasmine. They were all calling her a princess and asking when she could come back. I would highly recommend this sweet sitter ☺️🐾🐾”
“First time Rover user, and we couldn't more impressed with Annie. Starting with the "meet and greet", Annie welcomed our big baby despite his huge size (100lbs). He has an injury that requireds a special touch, and Annie more than delivered. We received pictures and videos throughout the day, and I swear, he almost didn't want to come home! We will certainly let Annie care for our big baby on day and overnight visits in the future! 🥰”
“Thank you for always taking great care of my fur baby. I have booked Brian now more than a few times and every time he sends updates and pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable person to take care of our girl .Whether it’s the whole weekend or for the day every time I have peace of mind.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,336 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Walnut Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Grove 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 1,336 sitters in Walnut Grove, 87% 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.
