About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was an infant. My first dog, Pooch, was a German Shepherd who joined our family when I was a baby. We grew up together and were best friends until we were both 14, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Dogs have been my constant companions ever since. By 12, I had started my own neighborhood dog-walking business and was volunteering with local animal rescues. Years later, that passion led me to found Akira Animal Rescue, my foster-based nonprofit specializing in medical dogs and puppies. My experience spans dogs of virtually every size and stage of life — from tiny companion breeds and young puppies to German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. Growing up, I also cared for a rescued street dog, a Pomeranian mix, and a Lhasa Apso. Today, I have four dogs of my own, so understanding different personalities, energy levels, boundaries, and needs is simply part of my everyday life. One of my greatest teachers was my senior dog, Akira. When I came into his life at 7, he had experienced a difficult start in life and struggled with trust and resource guarding. With patience, consistency, and structure, he became an incredibly secure and loving dog. Later in life, he developed liver disease and seizures, and I helped manage his medications and medical care until he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024. He ultimately inspired me to start Akira Animal Rescue. A different kind of Rover stay 🐾 I provide full-time premium daycare and boarding from a private, gated, multi-level compound in the Hollywood Hills. The property gives me something I consider incredibly important in dog care: space, flexibility, and the ability to individualize each dog’s stay. Although I have four dogs of my own, they do not need to reside at the boarding property and can stay at our other home nearby. This means your dog is never expected to simply fit into an established pack. I can make decisions about socialization and playmates based on your dog’s personality, size, energy level, and comfort. I don’t believe every dog needs the same experience. Social dogs may enjoy carefully supervised play with compatible friends, while shy, senior, small, or more independent dogs can have their own space and individual attention. The property allows me to create smaller playgroups and use separate indoor and outdoor areas rather than putting every dog together. New arrivals are also given time to settle in and decompress. Introductions are gradual and based on body language and comfort rather than immediately placing a new dog into a group. I am extremely hands-on and attentive with the dogs in my care. I supervise interactions, learn each dog’s individual personality, reinforce good manners, and tailor walks, play, enrichment, affection, and downtime to the dog in front of me. Don’t be surprised if your dog picks up a new command or trick while they’re here! What your dog can expect: • An AirTag fitted upon arrival and worn throughout their stay • A thoughtful decompression and introduction period • Supervised play and a structured daily routine • Spacious, dog-friendly indoor and outdoor areas • Separate play yards and smaller, compatible playgroups • Walks and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality • Plenty of individual attention, affection, and downtime • Care from someone experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, medical needs, and a wide range of temperaments My goal is to offer something different from a traditional boarding facility. I want dogs to have the comfort and individual attention of staying in a home, with the space and flexibility to create an experience around their needs. Every booking also helps support the work of Akira Animal Rescue. ❤️ I am fully dedicated to caring for dogs. Pet Care is my job, so you will have a hands on, attentive caregiver for your fur child. Outside of Pet Care, I am a professional marathon runner and do my runs early in the morning or on my treadmill at home. I am a complete homebody and choose to stay home with dogs, or take them out for a hike. Every dog in my care is equipped with an AirTag for enhanced safety and real-time location protection while on property or during outings. I provide a calm, structured environment on a private, gated property with secure outdoor space, including separate, gated, play yards, and comfortable indoor areas for rest and relaxation. Dogs are supervised at all times and thoughtfully grouped based on size, temperament, and energy level. I also offer private or solo care for dogs who prefer a quieter setting.

“Tyler took great care of our high energy pup for two days while we were visiting LA. He was receptive to instructions and communicated with us promptly and efficiently. This gave us a peace of mind to go about our activities. Even though we were anxious and missing pup, we felt good knowing he was with Tyler. We would love to book with you again next time!! Thanks!!”

About: Growing up as an only child, there were many times in my life where my dogs were quite literally my best friends. My first job ever was a dog walker on a pet ranch in Texas & I never fail to say hello to every single dog I walk past (I physically cannot help it). I love dogs more than life, and in my recent move to LA, I’ve found myself missing my family dogs more than anything. Allowing me to watch your baby (or babies) would bring me so much happiness and I promise I would treat them as if they were my own ❤️ I work as a freelance content creator and strategist for brands, so my days are pretty much completely free. I take long walks in the morning when I wake up and in the evening after dinner so your pet would fit perfectly into my set routine :) I have a fenced in front yard and live close to residential streets where I can take your baby on walks. Your baby is also allowed on my furniture (if that’s something you do in your home of course)!

“Hi! I’m new to Rover, this was my first experience. I choose Roxanne based on her 378+ positive reviews and she seemed like a great choice. Great doesn’t begin to describe the experience Tino and I had with Roxanne. Roxanne is very nice, calming and really knows animals. Communication was exceptional and tons of photos were sent thru-out the day. Her home was very clean and comfortable with a great yard for Tino to play in. Tino has never taken to anyone so quickly he absolutely loves Roxanne. He came home both days tired and happy. Not only is /was Roxanne great with my baby she was super helpful with me as a new puppy owner knowing how to get him to eat and easing my mind with his allergies, over all very helpful and nurturing. I’m hesitant to leave this review as I want Roxanne all to myself! However Thank you Roxanne for making my experience a positive one!!”

“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”

“We’re so grateful for the amazing care she gave our dog 🤍 She did a wonderful job, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. Very thankful for her help and would absolutely trust her again!”

Milena D.

“I was really nervous to leave my dog because it was his first time and he’s usually very scared of people. But she did an amazing job he had so much fun, felt completely relaxed at her place, and she took such good care of him. I highly recommend her a thousand times!”

I love going for walks and hikes every morning and afternoon, so if your dog enjoys being active, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fresh air and exercise!

“Val is wonderful! He did a meet and greet with us beforehand, and gave us a tour of his place. It really gave us the peace of mind that our little boy will be in a nice and safe environment. During Ajax’s stay, Val was very communicative and gave us constant updates. Really appreciate the care and attention he provided for our little boy.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and creating a calm, loving environment for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I currently have my own friendly dog, Cypher, who loves having dog companions around, so I understand how important trust, safety, structure, and attention are when caring for someone’s pet. My home is set up to feel more like a peaceful retreat than a crowded boarding environment. We have a large private backyard with upper and lower patios for dogs to safely explore, relax, sunbathe, and play throughout the day. There are two of us working from home throughout the week, which means dogs receive lots of supervision, companionship, outdoor breaks, affection, and personalized attention during their stay. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than 1–2 hours at a time. I primarily host well-behaved small to medium dogs that are potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and comfortable in a home environment. I intentionally keep things calm, safe, and personalized so every dog feels relaxed and cared for while they’re away from home. I also provide regular photos and videos updates so owners can feel comfortable and connected while their dog is staying with us.

About: I grew up with Pomeranians my whole life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of mine. I love dogs and will treat your pup like my own. They will have plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently working part time and remote, so I am available for plenty of attention, play time and lots of walks throughout the day. I am in an apartment in a great walkable neighborhood. I also have a 4 year old Pomeranian, Leo who will keep your pup company.

“These guys were super responsive and very kind to accept our pups last minute. We ended running later than expected and they were flexible and friendly about it. Even sent photos during the day to ease our minds. We were extremely happy with the service.”

“Keely was really amazing with Miso, our 7lb yorkie. Miso’s 12 years old, and Keely was really communicative and accommodating, making us feel really comfortable and confident that Miso was being well cared for. She got ample walks, treats, and cuddles. Also, the house is wonderfully comfortable with soft things and sunlight / outdoor space for Miso to relax and sunbathe. Miso would love to stay with her new friend next time we’re back. We’d recommend Keely to anyone on Rover.”

Brittany J.

“Jack was amazing! He was able to accommodate us last minute, which I am so grateful for. We got lots of updates and our pup enjoyed her time with him. Will definitely be using him again. Thank you so much! :)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable, Caring, and Extremely Flexible Therese has been wonderful with Willow. After multiple day care visits, I can confidently say she is attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. Willow settled in quickly, felt completely comfortable, and spent much of the day relaxed and napping nearby, which speaks volumes. Therese was incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially during a longer day of care. She also periodically sent photos of Willow at her home, which was very reassuring and gave me great peace of mind knowing Willow was in excellent care. Willow came home happy and relaxed each time. I truly appreciate Therese’s consistency and reliability and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
