“Eve and Vincent took great care of our dog, and were really communicative the whole way through. They were responsive in the lead up, shared updates during the day, and she came home happy from a day of playing at the house. We brought her over for two separate visits, and look forward to having her there again in the future.”
“Nicole took great care of our puppy. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care, and it was clear our puppy felt comfortable with her too. We had such peace of mind knowing our dog was with Nicole and would absolutely recommend her.”
“I’m beyond lucky to have found Rachel for doggie daycare. My pup doesn’t warm up easy to new people (or dogs) but after 2 days he was jumping out of the car to go to day care. Rachel’s always prompt in answering and flexible with last minute schedule changes.”
“Leo had an amazing time with Ashley and John's family! It was Leo's first time with a dogsitter and they were so patient. He made a friend with their kind dog and got a long walk too! Would definitely recommend!”
“Ruyi is amazing!! I’m beyond grateful we found her because she is very attentive to River and she made sure to make him feel loved. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos and I can tell River is super happy with her and her dog and cat which are very friendly. Definitely, I’ll keep bringing River with Ruyi every time I need a dog sitter because we trust her and know that our dog will be in good hands. We just love Ruyi!!”
“Great experience with doggie daycare! Luna was in great spirits when I picked her up. Great communication, I know she got all the walks and cuddles she needed :)”

“Chevelle and Devin are so loving and kind, very accommodating to Diego. Amazing communication followed by daily pics of my fur baby. Thank you so much for all that you both do. I look forward to setting up more boarding for Diego. Thank you! 🥰”
“We are glad we left our cat with Shiyibin. Shiyibin is very kind, took care of our cat well, and kept up posted frequently with updates, photo, and a video over the 12 hour period. She let my cat have some private space away from her cats since this is our first time. Tangy seemed to be doing well and we would definitely book her again.”
“Perry was great with Remi! She seemed really comfortable with him and enjoyed having company all day, especially with his dog Mookie around. Remi is always happy to be dropped off and comes home relaxed!”
About: Hi, I’m Pam! I only board one dog at a time, so your pup and my own dog, Butter, will be the only two dogs in the home during your stay — no crowding, no competing for attention, just real companionship. Butter is an 8 lb, 3-year-old Pomeranian who’s super friendly and loves having a playmate, so your dog gets a built-in buddy from day one. I work from home, so your dog isn’t just getting bookend walks — I’m checking in and giving attention throughout the entire day. And thanks to years spent caring for my chiweenie, Cannoli, who I raised to age 17, I’m comfortable handling medication and the extra care senior or medically-involved dogs sometimes need — not just the basics. At a Glance • Capacity: 1 guest at a time (just your dog + Butter) • Size limit: 25 lbs and under • Services: Boarding (overnight) and Day Care (daytime only) • Hours: 7am–9pm drop-off/pick-up (extended stays past the agreed window may incur an additional charge) • Home: 2-bedroom house, fully fenced yard, AC kept at a steady 72-74° • Household: smoke-free, alcohol-free, kid- and family-friendly Field Trip Add-On Beyond our regular neighborhood walks, I offer occasional field trips — a nearby dog park, a hike at Kenneth Hahn, or a beach outing. Available as an add-on for an extra fee (not guaranteed every stay, but something I genuinely enjoy when the schedule allows). Photos included! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed around a 9-to-5. • Check-ins and attention throughout the day, not just bookend walks • Free play in the fenced yard between walks • Walks at 8am, lunchtime, and 4pm, plus an evening potty break around 8pm • Meals served in a designated eating area, separate from the play space • Playtime with Butter throughout the day • Medications given exactly as directed, on schedule • Dogs relax and sleep in our open living/dining space, each with their own dog bed • Photo and video updates every stay My home is set up to keep things calm, clean, and safe for your dog. • Fully fenced yard for secure off-leash play • Air conditioned, kept in the 72–75° range year-round • Smoke-free and alcohol-free household • Only one guest at a time — just your dog and my own dog, Butter • Meals served in a designated eating area • Hands-on medication and senior-dog care experience, from raising my chiweenie Cannoli to age 17
“Today was Emily’s first day with our very energetic and little puppy Maximo who is only 3 months old. She was hands down so incredible. She was with him all day and did so many activities with him and sent us endless videos and pix. I immediately felt beyond comfortable leaving our Maximo with her and look forward to upcoming visits. She is beyond a 5 star rating. Thx a million. She’s the best”
“Jessica is the absolute sweetest and you know she genuinely loves and adores all pups! She was so tuned in, gave a great introduction with my timid pup, and was so communicative- everything was great. And our sweet shy Dwight warmed up completely within a couple hours, which is a huge testament to how well she handles and understands dogs. So happy we found Jessica and looking forward to building a great relationship moving forward!!”
“Pepper had a great time with Chelsi and her family! He especially loved playing with Leo, who is such a sweet boy. Chelsi is also very communicative, we loved all the photos and videos she sent during Pepper’s stay.”
“Five out Five… from the moment Luna recognizes where we are going in the morning she practically vibrates in her excitement at being with Taylor and Cooper. I cannot exspress to you how much comfort and joy this brings me. Needless to say, I highly recommend Taylor for your pets needs and look forward to Luna next visit.”

Fran is just the best with my little Luna, I love the pictures and I know she’s in a safe and joyful place having the best day ever! Their home is a perfect Haven for any pup and I’m so glad each time I drop off my dog with Fran knowing she is well taken care of, played with, cuddled with and loved dearly!
Chelsi welcomed my fur babygirl Kali into her home with open arms. She provided a safe, balanced, fun, extremely caring and attentive environment while I was at work. It was my first time leaving Kali with anyone other than family and I highly recommend Chelsi to trust with your fur baby.
Da Sol was absolutely wonderful with Lola! From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, communicative, and responsive. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to get to know Lola and understand her routine, which really gave us confidence that Lola would be in great hands. She was always quick to respond to messages and made both drop off and pick up really easy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Lola and made her feel comfortable and well looked after. We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Da Sol again. Highly recommend!
Yvette was a GREAT sitter!!! She was available last min to watch Tuck and it was such a great experience. She was very responsive and so patient with Tuck who is a blind doggy. 10/10 recommend her! She was also so sweet and do evident she has a huge heart for pets.
I'd highly recommend Emelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She took amazing care of my senior dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending regular updates and plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She listened carefully to all of my instructions and made sure my dog's needs were met. Her home is beautiful and very dog friendly, with plenty of space and amenities, and her dogs were sweet and welcoming. When I picked up my dog, she was calm, happy, well rested, and it was obvious she had been well cared for. I'm so grateful for the love and attention Emelyn gave her. I will definitely be booking with Emelyn again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
Saliah was hella kind and caring toward Bailey! She was also very excited to take care of her too which I truly did appreciate! Despite our meeting being cut short due to my own unforeseen circumstances with work, She was truly a delight and I would def book again when needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ladera Heights on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Ladera Heights 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 7,978 sitters in Ladera Heights, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
