“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us.

“Sheila was so kind and inviting with our shy guy and communicative from the start. She sent pics and updates throughout the entire stay. Pickles gets a little bit of separation anxiety and Sheila gave him the calm care that he needs. She was extremely understanding when we were running late - we would love for Sheila to watch Pickles again in the future! :)”
“very nice place to keep your dog with a lovely dog sitter and very nice family. Big yard with plenty of room for the dog to roam. The host is very communicative and responsible.”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover and a proud dog mom to two Maltipoos. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I know how important it is to find a safe and loving place for your fur baby while you’re away, whether it’s for a vacation, a weekend getaway, or a busy workday. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also looked after the pets of friends and coworkers and have even rescued lost dogs in my neighborhood and helped reunite them with their families. I provide daily walks three times a day, and we enjoy playtime outdoors in a shaded area. In the evenings, I like to take the doggies to the lake and the dog park. I’m less than a mile from a beautiful park. Watching the sunset is our favorite. I also send regular photos and updates so you can stay connected while you’re away. Most importantly, I make sure every pet in my care feels happy, safe, loved, and right at home. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, and your pup will enjoy a consistent routine that includes three daily walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be difficult because they’re more than just pets, they’re family. That’s why I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby as if they were one of my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home.

I always care for the dog when something seems or is wrong. Your dog will always receive love and affection from me to have the greatest time of their lives. When it comes to walking the dog, the walk is never rushed I always give the dog the time to do what they need to do, that or just get a exercise with them as we're bonding. I love all sized dogs, sizes from really small dogs to medium sized to big or really big dogs, all sized dogs all always welcomed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
We had such a great first daycare experience with Miyabi! I was really nervous since it was Romi's first time at daycare, but she made the whole experience so much easier with frequent updates/photos/videos. Really appreciate how communicative and honest she was throughout the day. It was clear that Romi was well cared for and having a great time. Thanks, Miyabi!
As always, they took amazing care of Letty. She got along great with their dog and looked completely comfortable and happy during her stay. When I picked her up, she was calm, relaxed, and clearly felt at home. In fact, she seemed so comfortable that she didn't seem worried at all when I arrived, which tells me she was receiving lots of love and attention. It's never easy leaving your dog with someone else, especially a senior dog, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Letty came back happy, warm, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the kindness and attention they gave her and would absolutely trust them with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!
Emily was great! We did a meet and greet with her dog ahead of the first stay to make sure they could get along. She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day and most importantly, our dog seems like he had a great time hanging out with her dog and cat!
Grateful for Maritza!! She was able to accommodate my last min daycare request and did a wonderful job taking care of my red headed husky girl Koda. Maritza provided friendly messages and update pics throughout the day. I will definitely contact her for services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Athens on Rover is $41.07 per day (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 8,294 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across West Athens. 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 West Athens 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.

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.
