“Very communicative. King took to her with no problem. The pictures I received were amazing. I can never capture great pics of king. I was able to do a meet n greet before the official stay which allowed me to be mentally at ease with leaving my fur baby for days. Will definitely book again.”
“Emily is an absolute gem of a dog sitter. Our dog Charlotte adores her — the full body wiggles when she sees Emily say it all. She also loves spending time with Emily’s sweet dog, Maple, and comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed every time. What really sets Emily apart is that she doesn’t just “watch” Charlotte — she truly invests in her. She reinforces manners and works on obedience in such a natural, positive way, and we’ve genuinely seen improvement in Charlotte’s behavior. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s learning and having fun. Even with the newest addition to the household — the cat! — Charlotte has been comfortable and well cared for. Emily creates such a calm, loving environment, and it’s clear she treats Charlotte like one of her own. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Could not recommend her more highly.”
“Excellent! I have an older dog, very hard of hearing and doesn't see well. He also can't hold his bladder for more than four hours, and can sometimes get confused. Jenny was so good with him! Not everyone can take on the added responsibilities of an elderly pet, including cleaning up after accidents. I am so grateful for her understanding and patience.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“John and Miyabi did an absolute amazing job watching my 15 year old Maltipoo for a week. They kept me informed of his needs (he has allergies) and we able to figure out what my dog needed to relieve his scratching. I would recommend them to anyone and I hope to use them again.”
“Sherry and Andres are the sweetest couple we’ve ever met! She took care of my pup while we were on vacation and did such a stellar job! I received photo and video updates every day, and when we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave because he had so much fun hanging out with them and the other doggies. 🥹 I have complete trust in their care and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend them! ❤️”
“A great experience, would recommend Kyle wholeheartedly. He was attuned to my dog Lola, giving her patient space to adjust to the new surroundings. He communicated with me regularly about her routines amd sent pictures, all of which made me feel at ease in my two days apart from her. Thanks again, Kyle. 🤙”
“Alice was wonderful with Molly. Molly loved being in her house and hanging out with the other dogs. She had a blast! Alice was communicative and send updates daily. We will be sending Molly back for sure!!”
“Tatiana was absolutely amazing from the very beginning! At our meet and greet, I could instantly tell she was kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. Throughout Beaux’s stay, she went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, loved, and engaged. She gave Beaux extra care and attention, really taking the time to understand and respond to his puppy needs. Tatiana kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos which gave me peace of mind and letting me enjoy my time away without worry. What impressed me the most was that she didn’t just care for him, she also helped train him! Beaux came home with new commands under his belt and was noticeably more confident and well-behaved. I’m so grateful we found Tatiana. Beaux absolutely adored her, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾 Highly recommended!”
“I can tell Sheila loved and cared for my dog as if he was her own. He had a great time staying with her and her family and I would definitely book with her again”
“3rd time booking with Gabrielle! She keeps us updated daily with photos and has great communication. Pick up and drop off are always smooth. Loki is excited everytime he gets to stay with her! Will definitley keep booking with Gabrielle!”
About: A Little About Me 🐾 Ever since I was young, I’ve had a strong connection with animals, especially dogs. They have always been a constant part of my life, helping me develop a deep understanding of their behavior, communication, and social interactions. I am attentive, experienced, and always focused on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I closely monitor all interactions and am proactive in addressing any unsafe behavior, whether playful or otherwise. My home features a secure property with tall fencing around the entire perimeter 🏡. The space is divided into separate areas to accommodate different playgroups, from small dogs to extra-large breeds, with plenty of shade and room to relax and play. Behavior Assessment 📋 For first-time guests, I typically require a behavior assessment before their stay. However, I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, and I can be flexible when needed. If your dog has not completed an assessment beforehand, I will conduct one at drop-off. Introductions are done gradually and carefully, starting with my dog, Maya 🐕, before meeting the rest of the pack. If your dog is not comfortable in a group setting, they can be accommodated separately with their own indoor room and outdoor space. Before Your Dog’s Stay Please let me know: • Does your dog have any allergies? • Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? • Is your dog currently taking any medications? Additionally, please share anything else that may help me provide the best care possible, including: • Resource guarding tendencies • Escape or fence-jumping behaviors • Eating non-food items or foreign objects • Previous incidents involving dogs or people • Anxiety, fears, or special handling needs Please also let me know about any special dietary requirements. If your dog eats wet food or requires refrigerated items, I have a full-size refrigerator available for storage. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am always happy to help! This is my full-time calling 🐾. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. There are occasional moments where I may need to step out for errands or appointments, but my family is always there to help with the dogs' care. Thank you for understanding 🙏. Pick-Up & Drop-Off 🚗 Our pick-up and drop-off times are flexible. We can accommodate as late as 11pm and as early as 5am if needed, including drop-offs the night before if you have an early departure — all at no extra cost 🙌. We also accommodate longer-term stays. The longest we've had a dog with us was around 8 months. No matter the length of the stay, we send regular updates — whether it's a text, photos, or videos — so you're always in the know. We offer a hybrid style of play — both free play and structured play 🐾. Negative behavior is calmly corrected, ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. Dogs sleep inside in a fully air-conditioned space ❄️, provided with beds and blankets, Dogs comfortable with pack life are welcome to free roam in a home-like environment 🏡, while higher energy dogs are separated as needed to ensure proper rest and health for all, fresh water is provided at all times. Safety is a top priority 🔒. Our property is fully enclosed with a 6ft fence & there is always someone present— keeping everyone happy and safe!
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
“Yiyu was extremely accommodating with our last minute booking. She was extremely communicative with sending updates and pictures. We felt PeeWee was in GREAT hands which allowed us to have a worry and stress free time away. We will definitely be booking with Yiyu again! Thank you for taking care of our baby!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Baloo! Annie was incredibly kind, attentive, and communicative throughout his entire stay, sending lots of pictures and thoughtful updates that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Baloo has some medical and behavioral considerations, and she was so understanding with all of his individual needs. She was also incredibly gracious about a couple of mishaps at drop-off, which I really appreciated. It was clear from her updates that she really took the time to get to know Baloo and his personality. He can take some time to fully trust new people, so it meant so much to see how comfortable and affectionate he became with her and Kina. I felt completely confident that he was safe, happy, and very well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust with him and would absolutely book with Annie again!
Sherry did an excellent job taking care of our 2 year old miniature poodle. We have never left her with anyone for an extended period (2 weeks), but Sherry and her husband treated our girl like part of the family, and sent us frequent pictures and videos. I would be happy to book with them again in the future!
John & Miyabi were everything we could have hoped for and then some! They have a great size outdoor play area where our lab-mix played with other dogs staying there every day. We got daily picture updates, one included a doggy ice cream social, which wasn’t expected but a nice surprise. There were no issues at all, and they were always super fast to respond (usually within minutes). Having two people almost ensures someone is always around to watch the dogs. Our doggy didn’t want to leave! 10/10 will use again!
Valeria was absolutely amazing and the sweetest. She kept me updated throughout LD’s stay and was very responsive. I wasn’t worried about how LD was being treated while with her. When I went to pick him up he was so happy and running around, he truly had the best time. Her backyard is quite big, so LD had a lot of space to runaround and be free.
Jasmine took excellent care of my toy poodle, Cookie, while I was away in Peru. She followed all of my instructions carefully, made sure he went outside regularly, and kept me updated throughout his stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I truly appreciated how attentive and kind she was with Cookie. I would definitely recommend Jasmin to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I would happily book with her again.🐶💕
Diana took such great care of Cleo, especially since it was the longest I'd ever left her with others (9 days). She took Cleo on field trips, gave her plenty of cuddles, and stuck to her routine which was very much appreciated. Cleo had such a great time with Diana!

As of August 2026, there are 9,745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gardena. 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 Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena.
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 Gardena 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.
