“Kiff is so kind and gentle. I felt totally at ease leaving my pup with him. He’s incredibly responsive and provided regular updates, photos, and videos. I would recommend without hesitation.”
“Zac was very communicative and accommodating! He sends pictures and videos of your pup daily. When you pick up your dog you can tell they had a great time and played so much that they are completely tuckered out. I know my dog Sparrow can’t wait until the next time I leave town so he can go over there again.”
“Absolute best Rover! We love having our dog stay with Shimin. We receive lots of pictures and video updates, and Ziggy comes home happy and tired from all the fun she has”
“So grateful for Selien’s loving and attentive care of Teddy! She discovered and removed a hair in his mouth that was causing him to cough, easing his discomfort and our anxiety!”
“Second time booking with Donghae and just like the first time, he has done a wonderful job. I appreciate how communicative he is and also how great he is at taking care of our precious dog. I would 100% book again as needs come up.”
“Paul was a great sitter for our Choco! We appreciate his last minute availability and his patience, our baby gets anxious away from home but looked to be warming up to Paul very fast. We received regular video updates during Chico’s stay, & will definitely book with Paul again!”
“Valentina was super sweet and took great care of Fela. We had a nice meet and greet with her adorable pup Coco before booking, so I knew he would be in good hands. She sent me lots of pics and videos (which I love) throughout his stay, and I saw he got lots of treats and playtime. He looks and smells like she even gave him a bath! Much appreciated as it saves a trip to the pet-washing station this week :). Will definitely book with Valentina again.”
“Jade was fantastic. She consistently communicated with me with meal and walk updates. My flight back home was delayed, but she was a great sport about it. And I can tell Sonny enjoyed her company.”
“Deanna was great with sending me updates and photos of how Loki was doing with his stay. I was in need of a regular sitter in DTLA and she’s definitely going to be my go to.”
“Karen clearly loves animals. Our dog, Bailey, was easily incorporated into the household with photos taken, exercised and played with. We would use her again.”
“Fantastic pet sitter who took exceptional care of my cat! She sent plenty of photos throughout the stay and it was clear my cat was happy and comfortable. Very attentive and professional - would highly recommend Irina’s services to any pet owner.”
“Goeun was the most amazing boarder EVER. My family and I are so thrilled and appreciative to have met her. She was exceptionally communicative, caring, and sweet to our pup. We (and our dog) are so grateful.”
“Justin and Athena are absolutely wonderful pet sitters! They took such great care of Chewy and kept me updated with regular messages and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. They are extremely kind, attentive, and you can tell they have years of experience with dogs. They followed instructions perfectly and treated Chewy like their own. Chewy loves seeing them, which says a lot! grateful for the care and attention they give him and would highly recommend Justin and Athena to anyone looking for trustworthy, experienced, and caring pet sitters.”
“Jianing takes excellent care of my pup and always sends cute pictures! She is very communicative and a great sitter and I will continue to board with her whenever possible.”
“Maria was fantastic! Very responsive from the beginning, open to a meet and greet with her pup, and lots of updates throughout. Would definitely reach out to her again.”
“Had such a great experience with Vuong and his partner who lives in the space as well! They were patient and very communicative! Was very open to meeting my fur baby before over night stays and asked all questions possible to help accommodate him! My dachshund was so happy to be with them and they sent updated photos everyday :) my fur baby seemed so calm and at peace when I took him home which made me feel even better! Awesome awesome all around”
“I was getting married and needed someone to pick up my dog from the venue since she couldn’t stay there the whole time. Xiaoxi was awesome! She picked my Elsa up. Provided me with updates and photos to let me know she was okay and was able to coordinate with me to pick her up. Thank you so much for watching her!!!!”
“Qiwen was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the stay with regular photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Qiwen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been a dog dad my entire life and genuinely love caring for dogs. To me, dogs are family, and there’s nothing better than seeing them happy, comfortable, and enjoying life. I’ve had dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and ages, including my current Lab and Terrier, as well as a Pit Bull and Maltese earlier in life. I’m comfortable caring for young, senior, big, and small dogs, and I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to the little things; knowing when a dog needs food, water, exercise, attention, space, or simply some time to settle in. I’m also very comfortable reading dog behavior and body language and knowing when to engage, when to give them space, and when something seems off. I live in DTLA, so I’m definitely an urbanite, but I love getting my dogs out of the city. We go to the park every day, and on weekends I like taking them out to nature where they can run, explore, sniff around, and just be dogs. I’d love to give your pup that same balance of city life, exercise, adventure, and plenty of attention. We recently lost our Pit Bull, and our Lab has been missing having a canine companion around. He’s extremely friendly with dogs of all sizes and loves having a buddy to hang out with. We’d love to welcome your dog into our home, give them lots of love and attention, and have your fur baby come join us for some fun! I work remotely from home, so I’m around throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention and take care of whatever they need. I live with my partner, and our normal routine is taking our dog out three times a day: a morning walk, an afternoon trip to our local park on Spring Street, and another walk before bed. Your dog would naturally join us in that routine. We’re in the Historic Core of DTLA, which is surprisingly very dog friendly. There are dog parents and pups everywhere, and our local park has a great little dog community where everyone knows each other and the dogs generally get along really well. During the week, if the weather isn’t too hot and we have the time, we’ll sometimes take the dogs out for a longer walk around the Historic Core. On weekends, we like to switch it up with a bigger park, an easy hike, or even a trip to the beach when the timing and weather cooperate. For the most part, though, it’s a pretty relaxed routine. Since I’m home working, I’m able to keep an eye on the dogs throughout the day, make sure they have water, give them attention and playtime, and take care of anything else they might need. Our home is set up pretty well for dogs. We have a large apartment with plenty of space to move around, lots of windows to look out of, and room for a dog to find their own comfortable spot and lounge throughout the day. When a dog stays with us, I want them to feel like they’re at home, not like they’re being boarded somewhere. I’ll keep their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routine as much as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention without overwhelming them. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines that make your dog feel more comfortable. Since I work from home, I’m able to be pretty hands on throughout the day and keep an eye on how they’re doing.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Los Angeles is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Los Angeles
Veronika was amazing! This was my first time ever boarding my pup so I was very hesitant to leave him with someone new. Veronika set up a meet before we confirmed to make sure she was a good fit and to get Rocco comfortable. It really helped to ease the process. Once he was with her, she was great with giving me daily updates and even taught him a new trick. Rocco seemed to have a good time at his home away from home! I would book with her again in a heartbeat!!
Grace was absolutely a best case scenario! She took my dude Earl in, late notice and all, with open arms and loved him as if he was her own. My dudes a big 70lb lug full of energy and goofiness and she understood the assignment right away! She was very knowledgeable about pups and their nuances and so accommodating to me and all my neurotic pet dad requests. She had plenty of dog toys and interactive games to help Earl feel at ease and comfortable and sent me constant updates to let me know they were having fun and loving life. I felt at ease the entire time I was away and felt so lucky to have found Grace. Will most definitely be booking with her again.
Veronica was so great! Bandit is a grouchy old man, not your typical dog and she totally understood his needs taking him on walks in quiet calm areas and giving him space to chill in her home. She was very communicative, sending us photos and updates periodically, which we appreciated. Thank you, Veronica :)
"I left my dog, Toto, with Donghae while I was on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Donghae took such amazing care of Toto! Every single evening, I received lots of photos and a very detailed report about how Toto's day went. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Donghae to anyone looking for a truly caring and responsible pet sitter."
I’m so glad I decided to have Siqi watch Peanut! She took such excellent care of him during his almost week-long stay, and I could tell he was very happy and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with so many pictures and videos, which I really appreciated and found so reassuring. It made being away from him so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely trust her with him again! 💛
Em and Taylor were absolutely amazing with our Susie! Sue had the time of her life while her parents were getting married: Em and Taylor took her to Elysian Park and along the LA River, and brought in some furry friends to keep her entertained. And we got tons of pictures of our baby having a great time! Thank you so much Em and Taylor - we were so relieved to have such wonderful caretakers for Susie so we could fully embrace our wedding experience!
My dog Henry loves Brian and his home! Brian was very communicative and shared photos of my boy during the visit. I’m glad to have found a great getaway for my boy. I felt safe knowing he was in good, loving hands. Brian’s house has an AMAZING outdoor area that Henry loved running around in. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Chelsea and her friends were so patient and welcoming to our Daisy and Rusty. Our sit began with a meet and greet where Chelsea invited us inside to get to know her and her friends and their pups better, which was super sweet and appreciated. During the actual sit, we received lots of photos and funny stories. She was extra patient with our Rusty who has some quirks due to having a traumatic upbringing. When we picked them up they had air tags on for tracking, which is honestly such a good idea!! (Just in case). I could tell they had a great time because they didnt want to leave! Definitely recommend Chelsea, and Daisy and Rusty will be back.
Obinna looked after my 2 pups and did a great job. He met up with me beforehand to introduce himself, which I really appreciated. Very professional, communicated really well and sent me updates the whole time so I knew how they were doing. He was also super flexible with timing. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!

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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Los Angeles 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.
