“Beray did a great job of taking care of my dog Wilbur! She was very communicative and flexible with her time. She also gave several updates throughout the day and Wilbur came home happy and sleepy. Thank you again, Beray!”
About: My dog Evie loves to play with other dogs! Your dog will be always playing with her in our yard. I work from home and I’m always home. I work from home and will be with your pet at all times. I have a friendly small dog that loves making new friends. One day in advance required. I have a fenced yard and I live by myself so there's no safety issues. There's nothing in my house that would be dangerous for any animal.
“Everything was great! We booked Phil and Lauren to watch Penny for a few hours. They were super flexible with the drop off time. Penny loves staying with them!”
“Hershey's first day with Julie and her fur crew was fabulous. She sent me pics and videos throughout the day to let me know all was going okay. Hershey had so much fun and he was well taken care of. We can't wait to go again.”
About: For the past 5 years, I’ve been regularly boarding doggy clients and assisting a doggy daycare. I have hands on experience with pups of all breeds and temperaments. On top of that, I’ve lovingly cared for my own pets into their senior years, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and compassionate care at every stage of life. As an artist with a flexible schedule, I get to spend my days doing what I love, creating and hanging out with my puppy pals. Whether we’re out for a walk or they’re snoozing beside me while I paint, their company is the best part of my routine 🥰 I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for exercise and playtime. I can also do drop in visits to make sure your pets are loved and in good company while you are away.
“Stanislava took great care of my dog while I was away for a couple hours in the evening. When we arrived, I met her dogs, who were both very mellow and my dog took a liking to them. My dog does not like being away from me, so I was worried about leaving him at first. Stanislava sent plenty of photo updates even though my dog's stay with her was rather short. Seeing the photos put me at ease!”
“Ori honestly is a blessing, my puppy has so much energy, and she still knows how to manage him and gives him a place to have fun, meet friends, and be safe. He’s always so sleepy when I pick him up which is always a bonus!!! Ori is simply amazing and I am very thankful for her.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, love and respect their pets! I am available Monday- Friday 9am to 4pm. I am also available to pet sit at your home. If it’s 1-2 nights I can have small pet stay in my household. My house is a two story home with a backyard, we have a cat too (belongs to my sister). His name is sunny and he is very sweet gentle cat. Provide a clean environment full of love and warmth. Make sure they are fed. Play with, cuddle with, take for a walk/ Clean their litter and any extra specified service to do (example: medication).
“Jiminy started wagging his tail right away. That is the best sign for a dog mom. Marcella sent photo plus her house house is in a very good location for the west Valley.”
“Daniela did an amazing job taking care of our 8 month old puppy, Bowie, on Thanksgiving. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience taking care of them so Bowie was in very good hands. He got to play with the other dogs there, go on a walk and rest - and we are so thankful. We will definitely book Daniela again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 25 years. I use to be a zookeeper for 8 years and have worked with exotic animals for over 10. I have basic training skills and am good with large dogs. I am currently working part time and have most days free and evenings as well. Local neighborhood walks or pick ups would be ideal, but not necessary. I currently do not have any other pets. I do have a fenced in back yard and live in a house. Bathroom breaks can happen frequently when boarding.
“Frank was awesome to work with. He was very attentive with my dogs and provided pictures throughout the day to ensure my dogs were doing good. I will definitely be using Frank again in the future.”
“Louella was great with Sonny. This was our puppy’s first time going to day care and we couldn’t be happier that it was with her. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. She is a great communicator and answered any questions we had. You can tell she truly cares for every dog that walks in her home. Sonny will definitely be coming back!”

Absolutely wonderful! Diogee had a great time and her dogs are sweet and well-trained. They know a LOT about dogs and how to care for them. They were communicative, friendly, accommodating and I would HIGHLY recommend them and will use them again as soon as I get the chance!
Armando is incredible. I have brought my dog to Armando on a repeat basis. He is personable, accessible, and kind. My family feels very lucky to have found Armando on Rover and we sleep easy knowing our pup is in good hands when he’s watching our guy. Not only that, Armando’s yard is large and immaculate, with enough space for active dogs. Highly recommend Armando!!
Susan was very accommodating and gentle to my dogs. I needed to find a daycare last minute and Susan was very easy to work with and very communicative. She also sent me updates and was being very understanding with me needing to pick my dogs up later than planned. Thank you Susan for your hospitality and for taking care of Truffles & Oreo :)
Booking with Kiyarash and his wife was a very pleasant experience. Their house is straightforward to get to, and it is nice that they have another small dog at home. I also really appreciated that they were able to reliably administer Tino's medication. Highly recommend!
We were very lucky to have found Brooke! We needed a last minute sitter that could watch our pup for the entire day with a late-night pickup, and she was happy to accommodate us. She was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was such a relief knowing our dog was in good hands with all the pictures & updates that were sent to us. Brooke is an absolute gem - we will definitely be booking with her again!
Tanya was great with our Lex, she knows dog behavior and can sense any problems which is a bonus because although Lex is a bigger dog he is super playful and also submissive so he wants to play with everyone, but some dogs don't like that and she stops any aggressive behavior b4 there is trouble, which was comforting as there was a dog there for a little bit who wasn't friendly. She kept them separated. After that dog left Lex was a happy and content boy.
Frank took care of my 3 Dogs today, and it was fun for them, and a lifesaver for me! 😊🐾💙💙💙 I received a video and photo’’s while I was hosting my Granddaughter’s 1st BD party and it made me happy to see them enjoying themselves in a beautiful, large backyard. This was my first experience having all three away from me, and I have to recommend Frank and give him an A+! My boys are exhausted, happy, safe and sleeping soundly now. 👍😊🐾
Louella was great with Sonny. This was our puppy’s first time going to day care and we couldn’t be happier that it was with her. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. She is a great communicator and answered any questions we had. You can tell she truly cares for every dog that walks in her home. Sonny will definitely be coming back!
Chanel was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Julian! From the moment we arrived, she was so warm and inviting, and Julian felt right at home. Her space is lovely and perfectly set up so she could easily go in and out as she pleased, which made me feel so comfortable leaving her there. Julian loved her walk and had the best time spending the afternoon with Buzz — they got along so well! It’s clear Chanel truly cares and creates a calm, happy environment for the dogs in her care. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be bringing Julian back!
Janeece is one of the kindest sitters we’ve ever had. She is very thorough - asks a lot of (good) questions and wants to know everything about our dogs; this makes us feel secure and helps us to trust that our furbabies are in the best care. Our dogs fell in love with Janeece and her comfortable home quickly! She sent us lots of updates with photos and videos which were great. We look forward to booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Winnetka on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Winnetka 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 6,648 sitters in Winnetka, 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.
