“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was my dogs first time with a sitter, so I had some concerns. Stanislava was very nice and let us come a bit early. Her home was neat and clean and her dogs were friendly. I recived several photos throughout the day. Will use again.”
“I want to express in simple words how thankful I am to have met Ori and her partner. They truly love what they do and appreciate every kind of dog that comes there way. My dog LOVES going there for day camp! My dog is a little rough sometimes and Ori and her partner can handle her with ease and I am never worried. They took the time to get to know both me and the dog and use what they learn in their care. A few months ago my dog stayed with them for 2 weeks while I was on a business trip and they did an amazing job with her and kept me updated daily. Give this couple a chance you'll be glad you did! Thank you again, looking forward to the next day camp soon!”
“Dana is amazing! Able to quickly watch your dog if needed, sends helpful and frequent updates, is flexible on timing and my dog came back clean and happy. Will absolutely use her again! Overall a really wonderful experience.”
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.
“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.”
About: USE THIS CODE FOR $20 OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING https://www.rover.com/sit/sofiaf58007 Over the years, I’ve cared for many different animals from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and fish. I share my home with my senior dog, Cushla, a very sensitive dog I’ve cared for since she was a puppy. Caring for her has given me experience managing allergies, stomach issues, prescription food, medications, and the extra attention sensitive dogs need. I offer a calm, one-dog-at-a-time environment where your pet will receive my full attention and care. Since neighborhood cats occasionally visit the yard, I only accept well-socialized dogs up to 20 lbs who are comfortable around other animals and suited for a calm, low-stress home environment. I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant supervision, personalized attention, and senior-friendly features like pet stairs, plus plenty of care and companionship. Your dog will stay in a spacious, calm home with plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore, play on the lawn, and enjoy fresh air. I also have plenty of toys and balls to keep them engaged and happy. Inside, all furniture is covered with soft blankets so they can rest comfortably wherever they choose, and I have pet stairs available for dogs who need extra support getting up. Dogs are never kept in crates, and I always use a gentle, respectful approach to care, focused on making them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.
“Sanaz was the sweetest and best sitter. She sent me pictures through out Lily’s stay. My dog usually gets really sad when I go out of town but she was so happy with Sanaz. She was an excellent sitter!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kiyarash while visiting California for a family vacation. Leaving our puppy with someone new while traveling can be stressful, but they immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that our boy was in great hands. They were caring, communicative, and clearly treated our puppy as if he was their own. He came home happy and well cared for! We’re so grateful for the peace of mind they gave us during our trip. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter, and we would happily book with them again in the future!”
About: I ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager Friends and family always relied on me to take care their fur babies when needed. I really really love dogs. And they feel my love. I guarantee they feel safe and comfortable with me I have experience from tiny to big breed I am currently full time at home taking care of my elderly parents. I lost my dog in March. So I have all my love to give to your dog. I have a big fenced yard. I feed them play with them and go to walks. I can easily crate your pet if it’s asked. Also I can take care senior dogs give medication injection.
About: I started as a Rover pet owner for services and now have the freedom to provide those services. I am patient and careful when caring for dogs because I know they are someone’s family and dog’s have the sweetest hearts. When I first moved to LA in 2018, I overcame my fear of dogs and lived with the sweetest pitbull, JoJo. Now, I have two of my own small dogs— they are my world. My schedule is very flexible. I am currently not working and have plenty free time (until my next opportunity begins). I prefer to stay busy so hopefully this will increase productivity. I am protective of my dogs and would ensure your dog’s compatibility with mine before walking them together or sitting in my home. Otherwise, I’m happy to care for your’s solo during walks or drop-in visits. My dogs are **flea-free** and healthy. My yard is very safe and I have a **FUN SPLASH PAD OUTDOORS** for them to play in during hot weather. I imagine many dog parents on this app care for their fur babies as much as I do, and I will be incredibly mindful of your needs / requests.
“Frank was very awesome. He was able to accommodate us taking Yogi as a last minute request and we really really appreciate how happy Yogi is when we pick him up!”
“Dana was amazing with Miles! She is always super accommodating with our last minute requests and Miles feels extremely comfortable with her. I will definitely continue to book her. 5 stars, highly recommend.”

We had such a great experience and are so grateful for the care they gave our baby girl. Our dog has separation anxiety, and they were incredibly patient and calming with her from the start. Our pup settled in much quicker than we expected and looked so comfortable and happy! They even took her on walks with the other dogs, which was amazing! We also accidentally forgot to bring her food, and they kindly made sure she was fed and taken care of without any issue. Thank you 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!
Zoe had a blast at Ramon & Raquel's place! They have a big, lovely, and safe backyard for dogs to run around and play. And it was also a great opportunity/experience for Zoe to socialize with the other dogs who were there. They kept us updated with photos/videos throughout the day. 5 stars!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Winnetka
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Winnetka on Rover is $41.63 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 6,730 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Winnetka. 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 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 6,730 sitters in Winnetka, 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.
