“Randy took such good care of my Princess while I was away. My flight was delayed coming back and Randy was totally understanding and patient. I will absolutely let Amver stay with again next time I can't take her with me. Thank you to Randy and Winston for a home away from home for my baby girl”
“I felt so safe leaving my baby with Mrs. D! She is a true animal whisperer. I know that my pup got the same love that she gives her own animals and I found that so comforting. My Santiago got plenty of exercise and I got pictures and videos sent to me while I was working. I will definitely leave my baby with her again in the future. Thank you again 🥰”
“Jon took amazing care of my dog! Sent videos and picture updates. Gave me a tour of his house and yard so I knew my dog would be comfortable. Can’t recommend Jon enough”
“Beth was a great sitter. She agreed to a last minute dog sit after a quick "meet and greet". I was happy to have the meet and greet, since I had cautioned her that our 86 pound puppy was very, very, energetic and loved to jump on people. After meting Hank, she accepted the challenge. Hank came back from the 2 night stay happy and tired. Charlie, Beth's small dog, was a great playmate for Hank. I will be using Beth again”
“Maria was amazing! So flexible, communicative and kind. She was very responsive and sent some adorable pictures of Sancho. Her dog Lefty is very sweet and friendly and Sancho had a great time staying with them! I would highly recommend her services!”
“This is my 2nd time to have Regina to look after my super skittish dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the first interaction, it was clear that Regina was knowledgeable and compassionate. Regina took the time to understand my dog's unique needs and quirks, ensuring a comfortable environment for my shy dog. I really thank for Regina's patience and kindness! During their stay, they provided a lot of patience and gentle encouragement, which really helped my dog feel at ease. I received regular updates and adorable photos, showing how they bonded over playtime and walks. It was reassuring to know my pup was in good hands.”
“Draco loves going by Ms. Gail. She is awesome. She takes very good care of all the dogs she sits. Also always available when needed, especially for emergencies. I will continue seeing her!”
“Katherine and Ethan were great with Bruno! It was our first time leaving him with people that werent family and he got along great. They have 2 dogs brady and gus that were awesome for companionship and burning his energy. Katherine was also great for updating us throughout the day. Five stars and would definitely recommend!! To”
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets and dogs. I have cared for dogs that have needed injections, special diets, and that special attention. I do have 2 corgis so for any boarding in my house it is important that your furry best friend likes other dogs and an initial introduction is paramount for a long term stay. I have an enclosed yard and a doggie door. I am more than happy to also care for dog IN YOUR HOME where pups are most comfortable. Love doing walkies and visits. Been caring and loving pets forever. I work for myself and set my own hours as an administrative assistant and a care giver. I have lots of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard, a doggie door but I am happy to do walking if that is your pets preference. My corgis are great with other dogs in their space.
“Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Amazing sitter, great communication, very accommodating, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. My dog stayed for a week and I got great updates throughout the stay. 100% recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, providing daily exercise, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a calm environment for senior pets. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills to every pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and plenty of flexibility during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy being active, so daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet receives reliable, consistent care and feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and bathroom breaks while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their family returns home.
“Cheyenne had a great space, communication and our dog Rothko seemed very well taken care of and happy when we picked him up! We will definitely be back!”
“Tucker loved staying at Ashley’s house and playing with Opal! Thanks for the great pictures and taking great care of Tucker Ashley! He will be back!”
“Pauline did a great job taking care of Tupelo. She is very thoughtful about caring for Tupelo and asked a bunch of questions to understand the pup’s needs and routines. Pauline provided a couple of pictures and updates everyday, and was very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we were a few hours late to pick her up. I would definitely recommend Pauline!”
About: Hi! I’m Tay, equal parts responsible adult and dog hype person. I’m the type to send you update pictures like your dog just graduated college. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, clingy, goofy, or convinced they own the house, I adjust to their vibe quickly. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love animals, but I also understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, walks, playtime, and probably a few compliments they don’t deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, from couch potato cuddle experts to dogs training for the Dog Olympics. I’ll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests carefully. Bonus: your dog can vent to me about you while you’re gone, and I legally cannot tell you what they said. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 I work from home, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and all the “throw the toy again immediately” requests your dog may have. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves nonstop attention or prefers a calm nap buddy nearby, I can accommodate their needs throughout the day. I live in a very nice open spaced 2 bedroom house with a fenced yard and hardwood floors. I have a yard with lots of room for animals to play and enjoy themselves.

Randy is great with my two dogs! One became ill while In his care & I was out of state- he did a wonderful job of giving meds & keeping my mini poodle feel better. He is always responsive & has a relaxed energy with the dogs. They definitely like being in his care! 5 Stars
Brie was absolutely amazing! 🥰 From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay with pictures and sweet text updates, and I really appreciated knowing how he was doing. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding with my early schedule and even worked with me when my pickup time changed. That meant a lot and made everything so much easier. He seemed to have such a great time with her and was clearly comfortable and happy during his stay. You can tell Brie genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. ❤️❤️❤️ I would definitely recommend Brie to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust. I’d absolutely book with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our experience with Lori was great! This was our first time ever leaving Gunner. We were very anxious but Lori and husband love for dogs was obvious from the first meeting. Although it was new being away from us, he was taken such great care of by them. We will be using them again for sure! We appreciate the loving care provided for Gunner. Thanks Lori!
Siraaj treated my pup like she was her own. It’s clear she really cares about providing quality care and attention to the dogs that she sits. She consistently sent video and picture updates throughout my dog’s stay. Definitely will be requesting her next time I need a pet sitter.
Julia is the absolute best! With very short notice, she was willing to take in my dog for a medical emergency and cared for her with above and beyond being an understatement. I recommend her for the care of your dogs. She sends photos, gives updates, asks questions, and truly loves them! Such a terrific person all around.
Beth was a great sitter. She agreed to a last minute dog sit after a quick "meet and greet". I was happy to have the meet and greet, since I had cautioned her that our 86 pound puppy was very, very, energetic and loved to jump on people. After meting Hank, she accepted the challenge. Hank came back from the 2 night stay happy and tired. Charlie, Beth's small dog, was a great playmate for Hank. I will be using Beth again
Parnay was absolutely amazing with my pug, Zeke. From the moment we connected, it was clear how caring, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful he is with animals. Zeke was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Parnay kept me updated, treated Zeke like his own, and went above and beyond to make sure all of Zeke’s needs were met. It’s obvious he has a natural way with dogs and truly understands their routines and personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Parnay again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and exceptional pet caregiver. Thank you, Parnay, for taking such great care of Zeke! 🐾

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elmwood is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $40 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elmwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Elmwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmwood home-away-from-home, 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 Elmwood.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elmwood 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 , 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 .
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 LA 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.
