“Abby has loved every time she has stayed with Nadege! She smiles and wags her tail on the way to the front door! It makes me feel so relaxed to leave her there, knowing she is happy! And the little doggy treat that we take home with us is so awesome!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“it was an absolute pleasure, leaving our dog with Nicola!!! He was incredibly responsible and caring. The entire time we felt comfortable and were at ease with our dog being looked after. We can’t wait till the next time we need a sitter, and we will call Nicola immediately. Literally he is the best we’ve ever used on Rover”
“Sean has watched our dog, Ziggy, multiple times now. Sean is a great guy. He's personable, patient, he sent us pictures and updates while we were out of town. He obviously loves dogs and has the patience to watch our pooch, since she's diabetic and blind, she takes a lot of extra care. Thank you, Sean, we'll be back with Ziggy sooner or later!”
“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.”
About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around. That’s actually what made me finally decide to join Rover. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, following your dog’s usual routine, and of course giving them lots of attention and affection. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for every pet throughout the day. I have a 1.7 year-old daughter who absolutely loves animals and has separate childcare, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. I am the only person responsible for pet care during all Rover bookings. My home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a private, fully fenced backyard with a high fence, providing a safe and comfortable space for outdoor playtime. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, happy and truly at home! 🐾❤️ I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to personally care for pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust my daily schedule to include walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention. I have a young daughter who has separate childcare, allowing me to focus on providing reliable and attentive pet care. I personally handle all pet care responsibilities during every booking I live in a quiet and peaceful home with a private, fully fenced backyard and a high fence, providing a safe space for outdoor playtime. My neighborhood is calm and perfect for walks. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I can give each visiting pet plenty of individual attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs. I personally supervise and care for every pet during their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved and truly at home. 🐾❤️
“Craig and Naomi were fantastic sitters for our dog, Pikachu! They took great care of her, kept up with regular walks, and sent great photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. They were also incredibly understanding when our flight got canceled and we needed an extension. Highly recommend them—Pikachu can't wait to stay again!”
“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”
“Christopher was wonderful with my rescue dog who has some separation anxiety. My pup was happy and relaxed when I picked him up and Christopher provided me updates. Would book again.”
“First time using this app, and very satified with experience. Candy was great with my dog, she is very caring, she sent update pics of my dog's activities, will definitely use service again in the future, thank you!”
“Lisa is our go-to sitter! My pup is always happy, safe, and perfectly worn out at the end of his stay! Will definitely call on Lisa again for future travel. Thank you!!”
About: I have years of hands- on experience caring for animals including dog grooming, dog sitting and dog walking as well as cat care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels and needs, and I always treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I would give my own. 🐾 I’m home full-time so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I have a fenced yard where pups can safely play and get some fresh air. I also live in a pet friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks. I will make sure they feel safe, loved and right at home. 🐾
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
“Nicole and Michael are AMAZING! Having them watch my puppy was like leaving her with trusted long time friends. I loved all the photos and updates I got. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby while I was away!”
“Jacquie is fabulous!! I felt so confident leaving my 11yr old tiny chihuahua with her. My dog can be nervous with new sitters and Jacquie worked with me to make sure my dog felt comfortable and calm. I received daily summaries accompanied by photos. Communication was clear, quick and consistent. My pup came home so happy and well loved!”
“What's not to like! A kind and caring lady that takes her time to understand the animals she cares for, a tidy and cozy home, an adorable little dog named Luccie and a gorgeous loving cat. Stacey was great at sending us daily updates and pictures of our little dog Toby. Most importantly, she was accommodating when we had an overnight layover due to a delayed flight abroad and we needed Toby to stay with Stacey an extra night. Overall, we're very happy and our Toby was in great spirits when we picked him up. We have no hesitation rebooking Stacey in the future.”
“Larissa was great with my Timothy. She provided me with updates and pictures before I even asked for them. Timothy seemed to have a great time with her pets, I would not hesitate to book her again. He seemed to be well taken care of and I felt relaxed and at ease while he was under her care.”
“Mandy was great! She took wonderful care of my boys, was very communicative, and kept me updated with lots of pictures. They had a blast. Definitely recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
This was our first time using Rover, and we had such a great experience with Melissa! She was incredibly thoughtful and caring with our boys, and we really appreciated her consistent updates throughout. We felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely love to have her care for our boys again next time! Highly recommend Melissa! ❤️
Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.
I needed to board my pups for a couple of days as my wedding was getting closer. Choosing to board them, and selecting Nicola were two of the best decisions I've made for the wedding planning. We scheduled a meet and greet, where the boys got to check out the new space. Nicola asked me detailed questions about the dogs' routines and preferences. During the two days they were there, I got updates and pictures regularly. When I had to postpone the pick-up time, he was very understanding and flexible. While he may have not known it specifically, Nicola helped make my wedding weekend just a little more magical.
Nicole is awesome! She not only treated and cared for my pup, Browny, so well while I was abroad, but she was also great with communication. She regularly sent me pictures and videos, so I always knew how he was doing and could rest assured that he was happy and well taken care of. I’ve hired different pet sitters over the years, and some can be unreasonably pricey, but Nicole is very reasonable, accommodating, and genuinely caring. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby. Until next time, Nicole! Browny already misses you! 🐶❤️
Kate and Aaron are the most attentive and responsible dog sitters I’ve ever experienced. They needed to administrate medication every 4 hours and I got a list of questions to clarify my instructions and a photo report every time it has been done. On top of that my dog came back happy and tired from all the play time he got there. Couldn’t be happier .. and I’d definitely recommend them as your second home for your pet while you are away. 10 ⭐️
Jolie was wonderful and amazing! She definitely put me at ease by sending me daily videos and pictures of my little mochi girl. My husband and I have never left our dog with sitter before so I was a little nervous at first but she made me feel at ease. My dog looked like she had the best time!! I would definitely hire her again and use her services! 5/5 stars!!!!
Tanya was fantastic, no other way to put it. We first met using a scheduled meet and greet through Rocer which gave us a chance to introduce our pup to Tanya and her home. She has a great space that is secure and with lots of room for running around and lounging. Tanya was really communicative and kept us updated with photos and videos without us having to ask for it. We very much enjoyed booking with Tanya and would easily recommend her for other pups. Thanks for taking care of our pup and we look forward to having her stay here again in the future!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Encino is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,315 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 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.
94% of sitters in Encino 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 Encino 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 Encino.
<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 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 , 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 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.
