“We are really lucky to have found Nayira as our dog and now cat sitter. She always takes great care of our dog Archer, but really thankful for the effort she put in with our two kitties, who are more high maintenance than most. Highly recommend!”
“I was so appreciative of how flexible Renata was in regards to dropping off and picking up with last minute changes. She watched my pup over a holiday week and took such great care of him! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Barbara is just the best person to leave your dog with, period. She really cares about her “guests “, and sends lots of updates and wonderful pictures. If she is available just choose her. You will be glad you did.”
“Ryan and Abbey were wonderful with Oreo!! They updated me on how he was doing, which was so nice! The communication was great - very easy and responsive! When I picked Oreo up, he looked very comfortable at their home, which is so reassuring to me. A home away from home for your dog!! Thank you, Abbey and Ryan!!”
“Abby had a great time! Her first stay went so well that we brought her back the following week and she ran right up to the door with her tail wagging! She was so happy to be back. It was an excellent experience for both stays so there will definitely be more!”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“I am a first-time user of Rover and was nervous about leaving Parker for the first time but he was definitely in good hands. Ashton and Jay were extremely helpful and were so kind and sent me pictures and updates during Parker's stay. I am extremely grateful to have found them!”
“Heaven was such a friendly and openly caring sitter since the first booking exchange. She was willing to accommodate my little boy last minute and was very attentive, communicative and caring of Charly since the initial booking process, to the stay to the very last second of pick up. Your fur babies will be in trusting-caring hands with Heaven”
“Chris always takes great care of our Hoagie and makes him feel right at home! And excellent communicator who always sends me pictures when I’m missing my boy. Very grateful for his services!”
“We couldn't be more happy with Julieth and her family. They took care of Eros beyond professional. They were like family to Eros. He definitely had the time of jis life with them. Looots of active exercise, lots of walks, lots of love and lots of pictures and videos and updates. Eros is a big dog and not everyone can handle that, but they loved Eros. And Eros loves them too! Julieth is the right choice for your dog, don't even think about it!”
“Joanna could not have been more kind and accommodating. My Daisy is with me all the time so it takes her awhile to warm up to someone new. Daisy knew a dog lover right off the bat. I saw her instantly bond with Joanna. I received photos all the time, and next time I need boarding, I will contact Joanna.”
“Sean was amazing with Theo while we were away for the week. He’s so caring, sent lots of great photos, and even brought him swimming (Theo’s favorite!) and bathed him after! Thank you for caring for our little guy - he can be difficult the first time somewhere new and you were incredible. 🙌🏼”
“they are wonderful! really nice people who loves pets and it shows :) they took really good care of my senior pup and she loves them too! they always keep me updated with lots and lots of photos and videos which I absolutely love :)”
“Jolie and her daughter took great care of my senior pup; he needed antibiotics during his stay and they were able to manage that as well. They kept me updated daily with pics and videos, were patient with him on their daily walks and even took him to the lake with their family. I would definitely leave my Henney with them again.”
“Laura is a wonderful sitter who was great with our dog when we had a trip. She communicated clearly and often, and was very attentive to all our needs. I mentioned that our dog didn’t get along with other dogs, and she was ready to adapt to than on their walks. I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: Hello. I’m Karina, and caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have extensive experience working with horses, including high-performance equine athletes. That background has taught me to be calm, observant, consistent, and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some want an energetic walk, while others simply need a consistent routine, patience, and companionship. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for with me. I specialize in reliable weekday lunchtime dog walks and drop-in visits in the Encino area, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want consistent, dependable care. I also offer cat drop-in visits and limited boarding for dogs that are friendly with my own well-socialized dog and cat. You’ll receive updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is something I intentionally build into my weekly routine. I provide consistent weekday lunchtime walks and drop-in visits, making me a great fit for busy professionals who want dependable care while they’re at work. My schedule also allows me to offer weekend boarding and pet care by arrangement. I enjoy having a routine that lets me give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care. Boarding dogs stay in my home as part of the family, with plenty of attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. I have a secure balcony and easy access to a large grassy area for potty breaks and fresh air. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks in my quiet condo complex or explore the dog-friendly neighborhood nearby. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and my own friendly, well-socialized dog, so everyone stays safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. With your permission, I’m also happy to take well-trained dogs on special outings, such as nature trails or to the horse facilities where I spend time, for additional exercise and enrichment when appropriate.
About: We love our furry guests. They are not in their normal home, so they gets extra pets and attention while they are away from home. We want to make them feel welcome. I work from home frequently, which means your pup won't be left alone for long! They'll get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, plus daily walks to keep them active and happy. We've created a safe and comfortable space where dogs can truly relax. Our fully fenced backyard and dog door mean your pup has free access to the indoors and outdoors all day long. The lawn is always available for bathroom breaks whenever they need it. Our resident dog, Millie, is a small and friendly girl who loves welcoming guests!
“I love leaving my little girl with these two, I sleep peacefully and enjoy my vacation knowing that she is taken care of as if she were theirs. I especially enjoy receiving the photos they send and I can tell that my little girl loves staying there as well.”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have looked after animals my whole life. I stick closely to each pet's existing routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits, because consistency is what keeps pets calm when their owner is away. I check in on mood and behavior throughout each visit so I can flag anything unusual right away. I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. I'm out for a two hour class most mornings, but my wife also works from home and can step in during that time, so your pet is never without someone there. Outside of that, I'm home the rest of the day and can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I keep a close eye on behavior throughout each visit so I can catch anything unusual early. I keep things calm and consistent, since that's what helps most pets relax when their owner isn't around.
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! Arya was treated like part of the family, I was constantly getting pictures of her on walks, at the beach, in cafes, and playing with their adorable dog Cream. I was nervous trying a new dog sitter but I couldn’t be more happy I found them. I absolutely recommend Chan and Jibin!”

I’m so grateful and lucky to have found Christopher! He was able to care for my dog on such short notice and made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. He was extremely communicative and provided regular updates throughout the stay. You can truly tell that he genuinely cares for the dogs he watches and treats them as if they were his own. He even went above and beyond by taking my dog to a vet appointment while he was staying with him, which I appreciated so much. I highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Sebastian absolutely loved his stay and cannot wait to be back!
Adrianna is fantastic! We’re so grateful we found her! This is the second time we’ve worked with her and will definitely be back. She loves our little Vito and obviously knows what she’s doing. She sends us photos throughout his stay with her and we always feel in great hands.
Chase took perfect care of our pups, was communicative, and went the extra mile to ensure our pups were happy and comfortable. Even with special dietary needs, our dogs were very well cared for. We would fully entrust Chase with caring for our Herman and Freddy the next time boarding services are needed.
Melissa and Christopher took wonderful care of our very active and at times reactive Australian Cattle Dog/heeler Pepper! We only have had her since January and it was our first time leaving her since adopting her so it was hard to know how she would do with a boarding situation. She loves to play non stop and Melissa and Christopher sent many videos of her playing and having a great time! We knew she may struggle on walks but she had access to their lovely back yard space which was wonderful and it sounds like they problem solved very well when she had some reactivity at certain spots in the neighborhood. We so appreciated the daily updates and that they were patient with her and only care for one dog at a time. She came back to us a happy girl who was clearly looked after with great care! Thank you so much for you excellent care of our work in progress gal Pepper!!
Nayira and her family were great. I was initially concerned about dropping my dog off with a boarder; Nayira did everything reasonable to make sure that our dog was comfortable and happy. We are happy to have found Nayira and will use her again without hesitation.
I feel so lucky to have Tanya right in my neighborhood! My dog Booker has been staying with her for years. She is wonderful with dogs and vets all the dogs which makes me feel super comfortable. Its literally like a mini vacation for him, he runs straight to the door and is so excited. She always sends pictures and updates and he's always smiling huge in every one. I cant recommend her enough!
Jolie watched our dog Gucci for 12 days and I must say it was wonderful! Jolie and Nicole took great care of Gucci, took her on neighborhood walks, played with her and sent daily updates with pictures and videos. When I picked up Gucci I could tell she was happy and in a loving, responsible home while we were away. They exceeded my expectations! I will definitely call on them again for future boardings. Thank you Jolie and Nicole!
We had a great experience with Ryan (& Abbey). We are searching for a regular sitter for our very timid pup and set up an over night stay to test the waters. Ryan’s communication was excellent throughout. We received messages, picture and video updates keeping us in the loop as to how our Biscuit was doing. This helped put us at ease during this stressful time of transition between sitters. We greatly appreciate the care Biscuit received. We’ll be booking again
Renata is THE BEST! left my baby daschund with her and her husband for 1 month. she kept me updated with videos and pictures everyday, which made me feel so secure and less stressed. i could see that my puppy was having the best time with them, and even her little daughter was cuddling with my dog all day. it’s really good that they have other dogs there as well, so Mona was playing everyday and having so much fun. i’m definitely booking Renata again! so happy i found someone that i trust to leave my baby when i need 🩵 ps: my dog cried when we got home missing her friends haha
Thank you Annabelle, Ben (and Ranger too) for taking wonderful care of my dog Luna. We will definetly use them again and recommend their service to family and friends. They are patient and kind and opened their home to our rambunctious dog. The photos of her playing, going for walks and "chillin" helped this fur mommy know she was happy and being well cared for.
This was our baby's 2nd stay with Meredith and her husband. She's a timid girl but she's gotten very comfortable with them which puts us as ease while we're away. Booking stays with Meredith is a very easy process. Meredith is very communicative with lots of updates and pics. Our baby will definitely have future stays with them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Encino on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,385 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Encino. 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 Encino 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 Encino 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 Encino 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 Encino.
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 Encino 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.
