“I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and I’m so glad I found Angelica! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we connected. Both of my dogs took to her right away, and when I picked them up, they kept going back to her to be pet and attention, that says it all! It's clear Angelica has a genuine love for animals and a special way with them. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kyle and Jennifer were so generous with their time, accommodating a meet-and-greet / trial for my nervous pup. He was skittish when I dropped him off, but was best friends with Kyle by the time I picked him up. I was happy he got to enjoy (supervised) time in their backyard, since we don’t have one at home. Great communication throughout. Five stars; Rio looks forward to his next visit!”
“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”
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. I feel time together and attention is what bonds both humans and dogs, and seeing them go from anxious and confused to a happy member of "the pack" is one of the more rewarding parts of taking care of them, so I prefer stays long or frequent enough for your pup to feel at home with me and in my home, but I'm also always willing to cover a tight spot or step in for a day of daycare. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for the entire day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take only up to three dogs at a time, and mostly for medium to long term boarding, so it's a calm environment without a ton of new dogs coming and going. I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, walks, 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. My space is easily partitioned to allow dogs to eat, nap, or hang out alone in peace if that's what they prefer. I have a doggy door for dogs who like to let themselves in/out at their leisure. (it's about 50/50 whether they figure it out and make use of it lol) 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 don't generally use kennels or crates, but if your dog prefers or is used to using one, by all means bring it along. 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. I have found even "reactive" and "solitary" dogs very quickly acclimate to a more social environment (it usually only takes 3-4 hours) and I never leave them together unsupervised until they're demonstrating clear friendliness to each other. Many dog parents bring their pups over just for this kind of socialization, and it's great to watch a dog that "hates all other dogs" running and playing in the yard with the group after snarling at everyone just a few hours before.
“Stephanie is great. She keeps our girl safe and happy. We just did a daycare stay and she was so attentive to our (senior) dog’s needs, helping her through some separation anxiety and the likes. We got two updates and pics of our girl. We’ll be back!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies, respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine, and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and lots of one-on-one attention. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also provide photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I keep a clean, calm environment, closely supervise playtime, and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every stay or visit.
“Victoria was wonderful. Our dogs loved her and Bella. She is very intuitive and seems to fully understand what each dog needs. She sent many pics and videos throughout their stay. They were so happy, which in turn makes us so happy!! We have used several rover providers in the past and Victoria was by far the best. Stop looking you have found the perfect person t watch your pet.”
“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”
About: I have a deep love for animals & was privileged to grow up with a dog that lived till 16!! I have had experience with both puppies & senior dogs! I will find any chance to pet a dog walking by & any excuse to spend time with any animal!! I am currently in university but I am free every day of the week after 1pm! My classes start at 11:30 so I need to go to a house to feed the pets or take them on a walk before 11:30 I can certainly do so! weekends are a bit more tricky but I can work around any schedule:) I currently don’t have any pets at home but I have a big front yard & backyard which are both gated, but regardless your pet will be under my supervision!!
“France’s has been great! My dog is picky about who he likes and is scared of just about everyone. Frances is communicative, thoughtful, and direct. The best part? My dog gets out of his bed when I tell him we’re going to see Frances. When we get out of the car, he’s all tail wags until he sees her. If you’re looking for someone who’s easy to work with and will take good care of your dog, Frances fits the bill.”

“Since we moved to California I have hessitant to leave Oliver with anyone but since I met stepahnie, I felt at ease thaf she will take very good care of him. Oliver absolutely loved his stay with Stephanie and her adorable family. Such a love and caring personality. She went above and beyond, she fed him, took ollie for a walk and also to the park. She was very accommodating with timing. I will definitely recommend her and book again with her again”
“always amazing, Camille Charles and Tatianna are always very sweet and helpful with Kuzco, and always send the sweetest updates. Kuzco’s always happy to go back and I couldn’t be more grateful for these guys working with our schedule and Kuzco’s maintenance stuff when needed too, thank you all always 🥹🫶🏼”
“Noemi was great! (: She was able to accommodate me and my pup at short notice, sent photos throughout the day, and was sensitive towards my pup’s needs. Her two dogs were very friendly, and she only hosted my dog, which gave me a secure feeling that my dog would get all the attention she needed. Her rate is reasonable, and I definitely recommend her! Thanks, Noemi . . . We’ll certainly be requesting your Daycare services again!”
“Jesslyn is the best! We are so thrilled to have found someone who can not only care for our dog, but also help her to be her best dog self. Jesslyn & Noah are extremely patient and knowledgeable about dogs, and I can’t wait for them to help us with further training. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of dog support. 🐾✨”
“Athene is super attentive and caring. This was Hazel's first time away from home and Athene did a fantastic job updating me with photos and messages of her over the two days. I loved that Athene secured a kiddie pool for Hazel to play in during her stay -- she loves water! When I came to pick up Hazel she was her normal bouncy puppy self.”

Helen was great for doggy day care. Kept me updated and made me feel at ease after leaving my dog Goose with her during the day. Took him on three walks and he came back home ready to eat dinner and nap! Sent updated photos and all! 10/10 would recommend booking again with her.
Kiran was a huge help during our vacation in california. We booked a daycare for our dog Leo. During the day care hours kiran kept us updated on leo and sent lots of pictures. Because of her we had a peace of mind and were able to attend the concert. She was super helpful when we were running late in picking Leo. Definitely going to book her again. :)
Janice was wonderful and Ozzy loved it there. He didn’t even want to leave when I picked him up!!! I think any dog would be good here - they have a large house with kids that love dogs and a backyard, but especially if your dog is human oriented. There are so many laps to choose from!
Namie was so great with my Coco, who warmed up to her right away. Coco usually takes a while to get comfortable with new people, but it was clear as soon as she saw Namie that she not only felt comfortable but happy to see her. I especially appreciated all the photo updates I got throughout her stay. Thank you, Namie! :)
Yuen was amazing with Daisy! She was so sweet and attentive. Even though my puppy can be pretty anxious, Yuen was incredibly patient and really helped calm her nerves. She took Daisy on walks with her dog Sasha, made her homemade treats, and sent me video updates so I could see how much fun they were having. I’m so glad I found Yuen and will definitely be booking with her again and again!
Moon is an absolute blessing. I’ve had a few sitters in the past, but no one has ever made me (or my dog Bernie) feel as comfortable, supported, and cared for as she does. Her communication is exceptional — she sends thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the day, so I always feel in the loop without ever having to ask. Bernie is high-energy and a little high-strung, and not once has Moon ever made him feel like he was “too much.” She welcomes his personality, plays with him, takes him on walks, and makes sure he gets plenty of outdoor time in her beautiful, spacious backyard. She introduced him to her dog, Ru, with so much intentionality, patience, and care — which set them up for a smooth, safe, and positive connection from day one. Her home feels warm, artistic, and full of good energy — which is very aligned with me as a creative. Bernie picked up on that immediately. He gets SO excited when he sees her, and honestly, that tells me everything I need to know. Bernie gravitates to Moon like she’s an extension of me — safe, loving, and deeply familiar to him. On top of all that, she treats Bernie like family. She pays attention to his food schedule, his quirks, his needs, and she checks in with me immediately if anything seems off. Her communication is flawless. She’s flexible with booking, great with pricing, and even offers pickup/drop-off when I need it. I cannot recommend Moon enough. She is warm, intuitive, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her home. Bernie and I are so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to what they do, she’s the one.

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 Altadena 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.
