“Attended a multi day meeting at the LA Convention Center and wanted to bring my dog to spend time with in the evening. Found Jae and she was right down the way from LA Convention Center & Crypto Arena. I dropped off Wesley Archer each morning for day care with Jae and she was amazing! Took really great care of him, sending timely pics through the day and has the perfect outdoor play area and safe walking space for your pup! I couldn’t have been happier with her services and was so grateful to have found and selected her for my visit. Great to know she is there should I come up from OC for another event. Thanks Jae and Wesley Archer says hello!”

“Tad did a wonderful job with my two rather special needs dogs. Penny takes a minute to warm up to people, and she took to him far quicker than expected and she even whined when he left after I got home! He sent me an update with an adorable video and picture, and made me feel at ease that he would take good care of my babies. I will be booking again! I highly recommend Tad!”

About: What really sets me apart as a sitter is the way I connect with each pet. I take my time getting to know their personalities, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and very consistent, which helps animals trust me quickly. I also have real experience with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I’m comfortable helping with things like crate training, potty schedules, and guiding them through all their “learning moments.” With senior pets, I’m very mindful of their comfort — I can move at their pace, help with mobility, give medication reminders, and make sure they feel calm and cared for. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make them feel loved, understood, and at ease while their owners are away Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. I’m already someone who loves being around animals, so it doesn’t feel like an extra task — it just becomes part of my day. I make time for morning and evening walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any little routines each pet is used to. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I’m able to check in throughout the day and make sure they’re getting attention, exercise, and comfort. It blends into my week in a way that feels easy and enjoyable for me, and consistent for them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on keeping their routine familiar and comfortable. In my home, I provide a safe space, regular walks, playtime, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their instructions and treat their space with respect. No matter where I am, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: 한국어 편하시면 한국어로 문의주셔두되요~ What sets me apart is my ability to read and respect each dog's unique personality. As the previous owner of a Shih Tzu, I understand a pup's subtle cues, quiet boundaries, and independent nature. My partner and I will both be caring for your doggo, so there will always be someone there to keep them company, supervise them, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. My partner Tae and I both work from home with a highly flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into our day. Your doggo will enjoy constant companionship and a peaceful environment, with plenty of freedom for timely potty breaks, refreshing walks, and undivided attention whenever they need. Your doggo will NEVER be left unattended at any time during the sitting. We will both communicate with you with updates during your doggos stay with us. Safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our apartment is kept meticulously clean, safe, and hazard-free. A fantastic amenity of our building is that it is exceptionally dog-friendly, featuring a dedicated, safe walking area specifically designed for pet owners to exercise their dogs comfortably. Your pup will enjoy a clean, peaceful indoor space and structured, secure SHADED outdoor walks right on the property.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I believe pets deserve patience, kindness, and lots of affection, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy peace of mind while your dog enjoys a safe, loving home where they’ll be excited to return. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I’m home seven days a week and able to provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and like part of the family. My dog, Milo, is my friendly little assistant and loves welcoming new furry friends. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide constant supervision, a clean and pet-friendly home, frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My building has a secure dog run, beautiful walking paths, and a nearby park for extra exercise and enrichment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

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.

“Abhi is exceptional! We could not have asked for a better experience. He accommodated a last minute doggy daycare request while we attended a concert at Dodger Stadium. We were from out of town and did not want to leave our senior dog alone for so many hours. Abhi did not hesitate to go above and beyond to ensure our pup was comfortable, felt safe, and loved. She even cuddled up on the couch with him to settle in for the evening. Our event went later than expected due to parking lot delays after the concert, and Abhi was patient, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire process. We highly recommend him and will seek him out again when we are back in the LA area.”

About: I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also love taking dogs out for little adventures and am happy to drive them to parks or other dog-friendly places! I’m home all day, so I can easily follow your dog’s routine. I can take them to my apartment’s dog park for potty breaks, use pee pads if needed, and take them to nearby dog parks when the weather is cooler. Dogs are also welcome on my bed. I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I keep my home clean and calm, provide fresh water and plenty of attention, and supervise pets carefully, especially when introducing them to my cat or a new environment.

“I needed a last minute pet sitter for my new puppy. I hadn’t left him alone before so I was quite nervous, but Sabrina eased any worries I might have by updating me regularly and sending me the absolute cutest videos of my baby boy playing and getting cared for. She even made sure his bed was clean since he had a little potty accident. Waylon came back home happy and worn out! I never thought my boy would be relaxed. I recommend Sabrina for detailed care for your furry babies ❤️ thank you and will be back again”

This was my first time using Rover and also my foster dog Flash was a rescue dog that I saved from euthanasia by fostering him, but Jade was able to accommodate him and have him comfortable around her and other dogs. Jade sends me just enough updates and as time progressed I knew my dog was in good hands and knew he was doing well and well taken care of as long as he was with Jade. Jade is awesome at communicating while taking care of my dog letting me have peace of mind while I’m at work/away. I’m so lucky to have found Jade here and look forward to working with her in the future as well with Flash and another other dogs I help foster. A true lifesaver and very sweet and kind!!!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Los Angeles Downtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Los Angeles Downtown on Rover is $49 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $68 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,375 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Los Angeles Downtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Los Angeles Downtown 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,375 sitters in Los Angeles Downtown, 88% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
