“Renata did an amazing job taking care of my 16 year old pug, Jasper. I do Rover myself, and have high expectations about pet care. She went above and beyond to learn how to express Jasper’s bladder since he can no longer pee on his own. She sent me lots of pictures, and when I picked him up, I could tell he had a great day by the smile on his face. I will be using her boarding services next for an upcoming week long trip because I know my senior baby is in good hands.”
“Here's a review you can use: Our pup, Koala, loves her time spent at Chris’s house! She always comes back happy and well cared for. I know she’s well-loved and in excellent hands with Chris. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Chan Woo and Jibin are incredibly kind, patient, and communicative. I feel confident that my dog is receiving quality care while staying with them, and their communication is top-notch. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Casper! When I got home, Casper was so calm and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell he had the most amazing time. Ryan clearly went above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged. He was super attentive, reliable, and treated Casper like his own. I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind I had knowing my pup was in such great hands. Highly recommend.”
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: I have had dogs my entire life. Dog sitting, walking, and boarding is my passion. I'm great at alot of things and this is one of them! Hi! If im not available I'm with a dog or client. Feel free to contact me when your in need of help. I'm local, driving isn't an issue. enclosed yard fenced and escape proof. Room to run with shadey area for resting. I always have water out and a good space to run around.
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.
“Nicole & Darren are the best! Our dog has mild separation anxiety and has never wanted to leave my side…. Until now. Nicole & Darren’s is her own Disneyland. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“My pup Truffle had so much fun at Adrianna’s. She’s super responsive and shares great pictures and videos of Truffle playing with other dogs she watching. I can tell she had lots of fun play time as she’s nice and tired and easily fell asleep.”

I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all sorts of creatures, and I learned to love and care for them from a very young age. My home was always a haven for animals in need, and that experience taught me the importance of patience, dedication, and unconditional love. That passion led me to become a professional pet caregiver. For years, I've had the privilege of caring for countless animals, each with their own unique personality and needs. From playful puppies to senior pets requiring special care, I enjoy every moment I spend with them. My daughter is a veterinarian, so animals have always been part of our lives. Together, we've created a home full of love and respect for all creatures. She has taught me a lot about animal health and well-being, and that experience has been invaluable in my work as a caregiver. I take pride in offering a personalized and attentive pet care service. I understand that each animal is unique, and I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for each one. Whether they need long walks, playtime in the park, or just a warm lap to snuggle in, I'm here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. My approach is very home-like. Instead of a traditional kennel, I offer a family environment where your pet will feel right at home. I'm dedicated to providing them with affection, individualized attention, and all the care they need to feel safe and happy. My services are completely personalized, tailored to the specific needs of each pet. Therefore, my prices may be a bit higher, but I assure you that your furry friend will receive exceptional care and all the attention they deserve. If you're looking for a pet caregiver who will treat your furry friend like one of the family, don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be delighted to meet you and your pet!" I'm a pet caregiver who's dedicated to organizing my time to provide the best care. Contact me and schedule your appointment!! I will be very happy !! "As a pet caregiver, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home, whether it's at my place or theirs. I'll give them lots of love, play with them so they get exercise, and feed them on time. If they need any special care, like medication or anything similar, no problem! I make sure your pet is happy and healthy, so you can have peace of mind."
“Amorn and Adam were very nice. Sent lots of updates. Frida looks like she made herself right at home and had a great time. Thanks for taking her on short notice. See you next time.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs most of my life with my family. I have experience with fostering puppies too. Currently I have one fur baby. I work from home full time so I’m flexible with your schedule. I like to go on walks about three times a day and walks usually take 20-30 minutes. I will be around to play and attend your dogs needs. I also have lots of dog beds that I have collected over the years to make dogs feel comfortable.
“Michelle & her family are so sweet & kind!! YoYo always has a great time running wild & free (lol). Super thanks for always taking wonderful care of my little one. 💜”
“First, Ashton and Jay were amazing. I was reluctant at first to let strangers take care of my puppy for a little bit but after meeting them could tell they loved animals as much as me. And Fiona loved them. My puppy's care were their first priority. Would definitely use them again. The only bad thing I could say about them is that other people also know how good they are and use them so availability is tough sometimes. If you are unsure about using them don't be. You won't be disappointed.”
“The moment I met Jessica I knew my fur baby, Kona was in good hands. I planned two days at Universal Studios and she gave me a meeting spot very close to US. I would hire Jessica in the future in a heartbeat!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Encino
We love Auntie Jessica and Uncle Ed! We know that they really care for dogs as they are so gentle with us. Uncle Ed took care of us, played with us, and took the best photos! Plus, we got to play with Murphy as well. We enjoyed our daycare with Uncle Ed. Mum promised that we will be back! Yey!!! ~ Charlie & Charlotte 🐾
Pooh Bear had a very emotional day, and Brooke was absolutely wonderful with her. She helped her calm down and feel safe, providing exactly the caring presence Pooh Bear needed. I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough. Thank you, Brooke, for your professionalism and patience.
Tanya was great with our Lex, she knows dog behavior and can sense any problems which is a bonus because although Lex is a bigger dog he is super playful and also submissive so he wants to play with everyone, but some dogs don't like that and she stops any aggressive behavior b4 there is trouble, which was comforting as there was a dog there for a little bit who wasn't friendly. She kept them separated. After that dog left Lex was a happy and content boy.
My skittish dog with separation anxiety had a great day at Jacqueline's place! Jacqueline knew exactly how to make her comfortable and she did not leave her alone. Drop off and pickup times were flexible, which allowed me to spend a full day at Universal. Overall, everything was perfect!!
Daniela did an amazing job taking care of our 8 month old puppy, Bowie, on Thanksgiving. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience taking care of them so Bowie was in very good hands. He got to play with the other dogs there, go on a walk and rest - and we are so thankful. We will definitely book Daniela again!
Zoe had a blast at Ramon & Raquel's place! They have a big, lovely, and safe backyard for dogs to run around and play. And it was also a great opportunity/experience for Zoe to socialize with the other dogs who were there. They kept us updated with photos/videos throughout the day. 5 stars!
Minerva took great care of my dog, Chanel! As a first timer Rover user, I was a bit nervous to leave my dog with someone else. She took some great photos of Chanel throughout the day and really put my mind at ease! When I picked my dog up, she was so relaxed. They had a great day together at the park :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Encino on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Encino 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.

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.
