“Jess & Max were amazing and very flexible with my 12 year old dog that has never been boarded before. Although I soon learned that my dog was not adjusting easily, I was already out of the country. Max and Jess turned up the care and attention for my Panda boy and took him out for extra walks, tried to play with him more, gave him extra attention, and pulled out all stops to keep my dog calm and help him snap out of missing me so much. They sent photos of Panda and gave me honest and truthful updates on how he was doing and adjusting without me. Max & Jess are amazing and I highly recommend them. I love how they only take 1 dog at a time so I was rest assured that two fun and dedicated humans were devoting their attention on one little dog. The neighborhood is a good dog-walking area too.”
“I was so nervous to leave my dog but I had a great experience with Sheila and will absolutely book again. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs well-being. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for and I could tell my dog felt comfortable at her place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“Matthew took great care of my dog, sending me picture updates throughout the day. He truly seems passionate and loves animals. He also communicates reliably via text. I trust him completely and will use him again!”
“Alicia and James were wonderful! They kept me very updated and sent lots of photos which I appreciated. My dog was very happy and would use them again!”
“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”
“This is my first time using Rover and Brittany was wonderful!! She communicated with me, sent pictures & videos during the entire time of taking care of my fur baby Jax. I highly recommend Brittany and will book with her again!”
“Audrey was phenomenal! Our puppy had an amazing time playing with her dog over the few days they spent together. Audrey was very responsive and enthusiastic about my dog’s care throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend Audrey to anyone!”
“Ryan is always great with my pup. He gets crazy excited when we pull up to Ryan’s house and he sees Ryan waiting for us, that confirms for me that Ryan is great to him. Then again, maybe I should say he’s awful to ensure he’s always available when I need him 🤣”
About: Dogs have been my heart since I was 10 years old — and that love has only grown deeper with every cuddle. I am not just a dog lover; I am the kind of person who named their production company after their dog. That is how serious this is. I share my home with two rescue pups — a sweet deer chihuahua and a gentle little terrier mix — both 8.5 lbs of pure calm energy. They set the tone in our space: relaxed, loved, and completely at ease. Any dog who visits steps into that same warmth. Our apartment is 1,300 square feet with a private side yard, so there is always room to stretch out, sniff around, or simply soak up some fresh air together. I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left waiting — I am here, present, and happy to take them out for walks throughout the day as often as they like. I treat every dog I care for the way I treat my own: with patience, attention, and a whole lot of love. Your pup will be in good hands — and honestly, probably a little spoiled. As a work-from-home writer, dogs are woven into every part of my day — and honestly, they make it better. My own two rescues get three walks daily plus two additional pee breaks, and any dog in my care gets the same rhythm. Stepping away from the screen for a walk isn't a disruption — it's the best part of my routine. I'm always home, always available, and never watching the clock. Your dog will be comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved here. Our home gets beautiful natural light, and our tree-lined neighborhood is calm and walkable — perfect for a curious nose. Sleepovers are absolutely welcome; this is a real home, not a facility. We have a small balcony and side yard if they love to sun! I'm also experienced with medication administration — my own dog Charley is 16 and keeps me well-practiced — so if your pup has a health routine, it's in good hands. We're also pee-pad friendly for senior dogs or those who need that option. What I can promise: your dog won't spend the day in a crate waiting for attention. They'll spend it with me.
“Travis was a great sitter for our girl Roxy! He was exceptionally helpful the first day when my dog had a difficult transition and needed some adjustments. We worked together to come up with some ideas and my dog did just fine the rest of the trip! I recommend Travis to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Excellent amazing sitters. I truly felt like my pup was one of the pack. The daily updates made me feel not so far away. Vuanh and Travis were very communicative through out the whole stay. I will be looking forward to my next vacation because I know my pup will be super well taken care of and loved.🥰”
“Vuong was amazing with our Rory! Though Rory had a lot of energy and the usual puppy challenges, Vuong took care of her with patience and affection. He sent constant photo and video updates and we saw how much Rory enjoyed her time with him. We will definitely book with Vuong again 😊”
“Katherine was great with our pup Stormie and when I came to pick her up it was obvious she already missed her new friend. Katherine followed all instructions and sent us photos of Stormie, even taking her hiking in our doggy-hiking-backpack. It was very clear that Stormie enjoyed her time with Katherine, and for such a long time apart (2-week-dog-boarding) Katherine took great care of our baby. I would recommend her services to anyone else who needs long-term care.”
“This is our second time with Ellie. She is wonderful, and very communicative! My dog clearly loved her, and got so excited to go back a second time. Highly recommend:)”
“Tommy had a lovely stay with Nicky! She was communicative, shared lots of pictures, and very sweet to our boy. Pickups and drop offs were smooth and he had a great time! Thank you Nicky!”

Vaughn and Travis took great care of Milo! They sent many pics and videos of the fun activities they did with Milo. And as a sure sign that Milo was happy, when I picked him up, Milo didn't want to leave! They were very attentive to Milo's needs, and I'll happily use them again!
Amy has watched Dottie on 3 separate occasions in the last 2 months. There is no one we feel better about leaving our dog daughter than Amy. We brag about her to our friends and family when we’re unable to bring Dottie home with us. The peace of mind Amy brings us is worth way more than anything. If you want someone who doesn’t just watch your dog, but loves them… Amy is the only option!
Caitlyn exceeded my expectations for the level of care she gave to my two standard poodles. When we did an introductory meet up, she asked a lot of questions about them, and it was clear to me that she was ensuring it would be a good match. I appreciate that so much! It was going to be the longest time I’d left them with someone I didn’t know and I was a little worried about it. Caitlin made me feel confident that they were going to be a priority for her if they were in her home. She was great at communicating. And, while I was gone, I got pictures and updates every day. The pictures showed them on walks, at her building’s dog park, enjoying treats, and lounging at home. They often times won’t eat for the first couple of days that I’m gone, but that didn’t happen here. In fact, I think they might’ve eaten more of their food than they normally do over a week and a half, which, for these dogs, is a very good sign.I probably should’ve worried that they wouldn’t want to come back home with me. I will definitely try to rebook with Caitlin again!
Jessica was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my 3 dogs, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made the entire experience stress-free. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pups and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Amelia was wonderful to communicate with and always responded promptly. Her dog, Roo, is just as sweet and gentle as can be! Truffle had such a great time staying with them and made a new furry friend over the week. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely recommend Amelia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
I will definitely be booking with Krista again! I have an anxious dog and Krista was very patient and gentle with her. She stayed overnight and became besties by morning! Krista kept me updated regularly and asked all the questions needed to know for her care. Krista was very flexible with our time changes, overall love her! My fur baby was well taken care of I definitely recommend her!
Lucero provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout willows stay; she was very accommodating to whatever Willow needed! Willow is a very timid dog and generally has trouble settling in comfortably in new environments but again, Lucero did whatever possible to make it as nice as possible for Willow!
Colleen is truly the best! She’s so fantastic with my senior dog and he is so comfortable with her dogs and with her. He steals beds and her pups don’t ever mind. She’s flexible, reliable, responsive. I never have to worry when Happy is with her which I could not be more grateful for.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights 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 Ladera Heights.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ladera Heights. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ladera Heights 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
