“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our puppy. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely caring—you can tell she really loves what she does. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always super quick to respond whenever we missed him and wanted a check-in. It made the whole experience stress-free and honestly enjoyable. We’ll 100% be booking with her again!”
“Charlie had a great time with Janice and her boys. Lots of play time and cuddles. And she checked in with me often, sending lots of photos and video while I was away. I’ll happily bring Charlie again!”
“We love leaving Pebbles with them! They are kind, understanding, and communicative. We have now left Pebbles with them 4 times, and they are always our number one choice. 100% recommend!”
“Angelica has been absolutely wonderful with my Charlie. Charlie loves her and is so happy whenever I pick him up or drop him off with her. You know that she is so gifted with pets. Ive never been happier knowing I found the perfect dog sitter for Charlie.”
“Ana and Mitchell were incredibly caring with Sophie. I needed a last-minute sitter for Sophie, who isn’t used to being home alone yet at 5 months, and they were amazing. What I love about them is that someone is always home and they only take one dog at a time. They were quick to schedule a meet-and-greet and were very welcoming. Sophie got to meet their dog, Ellie, and they got along instantly. Ana and Mitchell were flexible, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure Sophie’s needs were met. We set up a short doggy date for a couple of hours, and it went perfectly- Sophie didn’t even notice we had left! Since leaving Sophie is new for us, we appreciated the frequent updates and their respect for her schedule. She came home happy and content, and it was clear she had a great time. Sophie will definitely be back soon. We even forgot a couple of things at their house and stopped by later, and Sophie was eager to go back inside to Ana and Mitchell’s home- showing just how comfortable she feels there.”
“Rika was a fantastic pet sitter! My dog had a blast at her house. She sent me detailed updates on how my dog was doing, along with amazing pictures (they were honestly better than the ones I’ve taken myself). She truly took great care of my dog. I will 100% rebook her the next time I need a pet sitter. I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate her for this boarding. Thank you, Rika!”
“Yuhong is the best. She really came to our rescue last minute while we dealt with logistics related to the local wildfire. She took great care of our dog, and he was clearly happy in the daily update pics. On top of being available and reliable, Yuhong was also incredibly sensitive and caring towards our family's situation. I highly recommend her as both an awesome Rover and awesome human.”
“Loretta and her family are very kind and they were attentive to our dog’s issues with fireworks. The family is a great team! Loretta was flexible when we were wanting to pick up our dog earlier than planned. We will definitely use them again!”
“Cathy and Andres were wonderful! I was gone for five days and they took such great care of my dog. They always kept me updated on how my dog was doing. It was a complete load off my mind. They also have a great, sweet dog who kept mine company. Overall, this was a fantastic experience.”
About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture.
“This couple was so awesome! We had an event and booked short notice, and they accepted us with no problems. We got updates via adorable pictures and they took such good care of our dog son. Will definitely be my go-to for any future stays!”
“Bandit’s stay with Athene was perfect! She was incredibly flexible, kind and diligent about steady communication and support of my pup. From the wonderful photos it looked like he was having a great time indeed. I will definitely be coming back”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay at Stephanie's! We were a little worried since this is our pup's first time being away from us for this long, but Stephanie was very attentive and took care of her very well.”
“Diego and his girlfriend were absolutely AMAZING with my Chocolate Lab, Lucy! From start to finish they were incredibly communicative, sending updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Every time I checked in, Lucy looked like she was having the time of her life - constantly outside, running around, getting exercise, and interacting with lots of other dogs. She came home happy, tired, and clearly loved all the socialization and routine. I felt instantly comfortable trusting Diego with Lucy. As someone with a puppy who’s new to the city, it meant the world to know she was getting not just care, but structure, stimulation, socialization, and so much attention. I couldn’t be more grateful, and I know Lucy would love to go back. Truly 10/10 sitters. Thank you!”
“Five stars. I couldn’t be happier with the care Jonesy received. Communication was excellent the entire time, and I always felt updated on how she was doing. It’s obvious Jonesy had a great time and was very well cared for. She came home happy, tired, and even learned a few new tricks while she was there. Most importantly, I felt completely confident that she was safe and in good hands. I would absolutely trust her with Jonesy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Albina was a ROCKSTAR. Our insanely scared dog loved her immediately. She made us a Christmas decoration with his name on it and homemade treats. I almost cried with how kind she was. We will be coming back!!”
“Jasmine did a great job with Sadie! Our dog is a bit quirky and doesn't really get along well with other dogs, but Jasmine had the right intuition to know when they could still be together or be separated. We received updates daily and she was very responsive to any questions or requests we had!”
“Magdalena took care of my dog Marty overnight. She sent many updates with photos/videos. Marty had a very eventful and active stay. He was very happy and Magdalena took great care of him. She also agreed very last minute when I had to leave town, which was hugely appreciated. I would absolutely use her services again.”
“So happy with my first booking with Diana! She took great care of Miso and was very fast and communicative. My puppy had a great time with them and loved playing with their Dalmatian for hours. Would not hesitate to book again and thank you so much for making it easy!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Altadena
We were so lucky to find Jadine last minute to watch our senior dog while we went out of town on a last minute camping trip. Jadine was thorough with her questions about our dog and how to keep him comfortable while we were gone. She sent us lots of pics from his walks and his afternoon naps. If you want your dog in the care of someone who loves and cares for your pet like it’s her own, I highly recommend Jadine!
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring and trustworthy hands. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!
Dodonna and her family are unreal! The nicest and animal loving folks you’ll ever find. Very easy to work with and super flexible with pick up and drop off. Great with communication, very responsive and sent daily updates without prompting. We are so grateful to have found them!!
I highly recommend Denise! She took excellent care of my fur baby and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was very attentive, took the time to ask about my dog's specific needs and routines, and made sure everything was handled properly. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!🐶😁
We had been looking for a trust worthy sitter for our Aussie Doodle, Darla for some time, thank goodness we found Ana and Mitchell (and Ellie) who have a warm, clean and safe environment. Ana & Mitchell know how to engage with a dog, minimizing the stress for Darla and for her doggie parents as well!
We could not imagine our older pup Baci being in better hands - Stephanie was incredibly kind and generous with him and with us, and went out of her way to really make him feel like part of the family (which was particularly helpful because he gets more and more stressed by boarding as he gets older). The family dog Tuck was the perfect playmate; he and Baci were even snuggling together! We hope that Baci will be to board with Stephanie many more times.

As of July 2026, there are 9,864 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Altadena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Altadena sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Altadena landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Altadena home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Altadena.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Altadena sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
