“Jorge’s service was great. My pets spent the day with him and were returned to me well. I received pictures and he was responsive to my check texts. His property is welcoming and so was he. I would recommend his services to anyone looking in this area.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and hamsters, and for the past 22 years I’ve always had a dog of my own—they’re truly part of the family. Right now, we have a sweet 2-year-old Italian Greyhound, so I understand the energy, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a young dog. I also have experience caring for other types of pets, including our bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with lots of love, attention, and respect for their routine so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom to three children, all over the age of 8, so our home is calm and doesn’t have little ones running around. My daughters are homeschooled, which gives us a very flexible schedule and allows us to be home often throughout the day. While we do have activities, we’re able to plan our schedule around the pets in our care and can be home every 2–4 hours as needed. This flexibility means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency while staying with us. Our home environment is relaxed, dependable, and centered around making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I do not have a fenced yard but I do take frequent walks with my dog through the neighborhood so walks will not be a problem.
“Another great stay with Ms Olivia! Bear was happy to arrive and get straight to business (playing). Olivia was great and sent me pictures of how things were going keeping me at ease. Bear seems to have worked through his anxiety issues and Olivia has been a huge part of that!”
“Rebecca has taken care of our two pups multiple times, now, and she is a great sitter. She is always a good communicator and provides great quality of care. Trust is important in these types of situations and we have that with Rebecca.”
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life and now that I'm retired I want to share cuddles and love with your pet! My friends and neighbors have entrusted their pets to me for years and I would like the privilege of taking care of your furry baby. I love both seniors and puppies and have had experience with administering medication if your pet has medical needs. A I'm retired so I'll be home almost all the time. A short shopping or doctor's visit would be the only exception. Your pet would not be unattended for more than 2 or 3 hours. I have a fenced area in my yard that is accessible directly from my home. The pets are never left outside unattended and they have full access to my home.
“They took GREAT care of Slinky while I was out of town. They sent me pictures of my fur baby and how he was doing throughout his stay with them. Would rate 10/10 if I could, will definitely be booking again in the future! ?”
“This is my 1st time booking with Christiana and let me say this Tobee has a foreverrr sitter!! At this point she about to be his second mom! Since day one at the meet and greet the love and care she has had for my baby is unmatched!! I love someone who can love my baby just as much as I do! And that’s Christiana!! For the whole day she gave me updates on him and took some priddy awesome pictures and videos of all the fun he was having! My heart melted and I didn’t even think he would miss me! Mark my words if you book with Christina you will not regret it! She is the sweetest, kindest and most professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking pet care!”
“Debra did an excellent job watching my little girl Nina. She’s very good with animals and clearly loves them. Nina was very happy staying with Debra. Nina is a bit shy at first but opened up very quickly to Debra.”
“Wonderful family. Our Turtle was spoiled with their love and attention (they even brushed her out and made her a wonderful fluff ball. We will hope Turtle can visit her new friends again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages since I was a little girl, including my own Shih Tzu, Mei Mei! Gentle, patient, and attentive, I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away :) Pet care is currently my full-time job, so I get to spend most of my day with the pups in my care! ♡ I’m home throughout the day for plenty of potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and attention. On the occasions that I do need to step out, I have family at home who help me care for and supervise the pups, so they’re never left alone for long periods of time. There’s almost always someone home to keep them company and make sure they’re happy and comfortable! I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pup, so I always treat every dog like I would want someone to treat my own. ♡ I keep a close eye on the pups in my care and make sure they have a safe, calm, and comfortable place to stay. We have a fenced-in yard for supervised potty breaks and playtime, along with doggy gates inside when needed. I follow each pup’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for me, and my family is also around to help when I need to step out. Most importantly, I give every pup time to settle in and never force them into situations they aren’t comfortable with.
About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs from young to elderly, and taking care of large groups of dogs. I will always take care of your pets just as if they were my own. You can rest easy when you are not able to be with your dog. I have walked and taken care of dogs of all sizes, and my own dog is a very energetic dog who likes to pull on a leash, so I understand the concerns some people may have with someone else walking their dog, and I will always make sure your dog is safe and secure with me. You can relax knowing that your furry friend is in good hands. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility and can offer plenty of attention and exercise for all your furry friends throughout the day. I try to care for your pets the same way you do, whether that is in my home or yours. Your pets’ safety and happiness is the priority!
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including training service dogs and working professionally as a groomer. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, different breeds, and pets requiring extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I am currently home full time after returning from deployment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding in my home. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule. With over 10 years of experience, including service dog training and professional grooming, I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments.
About: We adopted our first pups in 2004 and cared for them for 18 pup-snuggled years. During that time, and since then, we have rescued, fostered and adopted animals of all kinds to include chickens, ducks and a pig named Kevin Bacon! Currently, we're home to Guinevere, the mild-mannered, 6 year-old rescued mutt. We do have an 11-year-old hooman "puppy" who is just as loving and respectful of animals as we are. We will love and care for your fur-babies as if they were our very own. We are home almost all day, every day, so your pet will never be alone. I homeschool our son, and my husband works from home. Your pet will have ample opportunities to play outside in our 1/2 acre back yard. Our neighborhood is very quiet with houses situated on ~acre lots. We have neighbors with dogs, but they usually just run over to the fence to say hello and then go about their business. In our home, your fur-babies can roam freely, and they will have access to our 1/2, partially shaded, completely fenced-in back yard as often as they need. If your dog is one who prefers walks, our peaceful neighborhood has lots of places to explore; there is a nice park 1/2 mile away where they can sniff around where all of the turtles and ducks like to hang out. Pups who stay with us overnight are welcome to stay in their crate (if that's what they prefer), anywhere in the house, and, likely, on one of our beds.
“My goodness. We needed day care for our two pups and, boy, were we pleased with Alexander and Dorys. They were not only communicative, friendly, obvious dog lovers, but took such great care of our boys. It was quite clear they were interacting with our pups, the entire day! We look forward to using them, again. (Especially since the boys can't stop talking about all the fun they had.) We are very grateful.”
“Gloria took wonderful care of my puppy after his procedure. She was gentle, attentive, and made sure he felt safe and loved. I can tell he had a great time and was in very good hands. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave me—highly recommend her!”
“It was my first time meeting Gabriella, and she went above and beyond my expectations. So kind, professional, and communicative. She wanted to know all relevant information about my dog which showed how much she cared about giving her the best care possible! Mona will be back to play again in the future, thank you!!”
About: I am a mommy of a Chihuahua mix that we rescued from a local shelter. I am married with two grown children and since I am an empty nester, my chi and husband are what I'm all about. We personally use Rover when we are on vacation so we are very familiar with the whole process of leaving your family member with a stranger and hope to develop trust where you will no longer have to worry while leaving them behind. I have a home that is in a gated neighborhood. It is surrounded by ponds for walking and exercise, with doggies being walked everywhere. I would love to get chance to meet your fur babies and help to watch over them while you cant. I would love to be a fill in fur baby Grammy. Our home is our animal’s safe zone and we feel it is comfortable and secure. We would love to get a chance to meet and greet any whom would like to visit. Our pet is crate trained so your babies can run around the house in a cage free, stress free environment. We want them to feel safe and loved, not anxious. All sizes and breeds are welcome, as we have many years of experience to utilize. I specialize in senior dog sitting, as recently had four of my own babies whom we loved dearly, reach that special age. I’m currently a stay at home human mommy to my fur baby, so I have all day to assist with your required routines. We have a structured home with routines in place. We also can crate Your pet if needed or desired. I have an indented back yard that borders to green space and watch pets at all times when they are outside. We generally do two to three walks per day.
“Dusty had an amazing time with his new friends! Tamara was amazing! Lots of pictures, videos, very communicative and friendly. Dusty will definitely get back to see her friends Maverick & Ollie again!”
“Kristina was awesome!! She was super responsive and sent us so many pictures and updated I felt like I was there with them! The dogs had so much fun, and you can tell she cares so much about them!! I would recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Whittier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 309 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Whittier. 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 Whittier 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 FL 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 309 sitters in Whittier, 90% 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.
