“Carmen was Amazing with our weimwarner Hazel. She sent us updates daily with pictures on their outings. She took Hazel out on numerous walks each day. Hazel seemed to enjoy herself very much. I will definitely use Carmen again. Thank you Carmen for taking such good care of Hazel. Kathy”
“Kimberlee was beyond amazing! This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and she really went above and beyond. My foster puppy Bubs is super high energy but Kim took it in stride. He came back so happy and tired, and I think better behaved than when I left. She picked him up and dropped him off because we live very close, which was so so helpful because he has a large crate, and while we we gone she even helped network him a ton to help find an adopter. Bubs had the best time, and I would trust Kim with any animal I ever have in the future! Thank you!”
About: Our family loves dogs! We have taken care of dogs from friends and family, and thought it would be great to do more. Our sweet doggie Payton passed away so we don’t have any pets in our home right now. We have two young daughters (4 and 3) who grew up with our beloved Payton (a shitzu) and adore dogs. I work from home and Mark’s schedule is flexible. We are often home all day, so we can accommodate puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and attention. We don’t have a yard, but happy to take your pup out as frequently as needed- grass is close by! We would love the chance to get to know your loved one and will treat him/her like family :) Mark and I are both home nearly all day except when one of us goes to run an errand. We can accommodate walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. And lots of play time :) We live in a secured 2-story townhome. We have a balcony but no yard, but can take your pup outside for walks or potty breaks as often as needed. Our neighborhood is very safe.
“This was our second time using Beverly and we were just as impressed as the first time. Our dog was so excited when we arrived at her home. She knew exactly where we were. Beverly always sends updates during the stay, which we appreciate. We highly recommend Beverly!”
“Birgitta was awesome! Riley loved staying at her home- especially the great backyard. Birgitta sent me lots of photos and videos of Riley during her stay. Everything was wonderful- thank you so much! Kim & Riley”
About: My approach with any animal is to use positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. I grew up with dogs, cats and various other animals. I was heavily into 4-H and adopted a wild burro, raised pigs and joined the dog training group with my shelter dog, a German Shepard Samoyed mix. Currently, we have two rescue dogs. Whenever we host our neighbor's dog, all the dogs have a blast and act like they are having a sleepover. In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience with a diabetic cat that required two daily shots. My husband and I work from home so there is always someone around. We take the dogs out for frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also live near Valley Park and the green belt which are perfect for longer walks. In addition to my husband, I have two teenage sons who will also be here to play with your pup. We currently have two welcoming adopted dogs, Koko, who is the older wiser pup bringing calm energy, and Mango, who very lovable and wants to be friends with every human and dog. At our condo, the dogs have access to two decks in the back, perfect for quiet naps in the sun, and one deck in the front overlooking all the action that passes by on the street. If your pup likes to play tug-of-war, Mango will happily play and share her toys.
About: I'm here because I love pets, plain and simple. With experience caring for friends' pets and fostering, I'll give yours plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. I am looking to accept weekend overnights as this is when I could provide the most time with your pet. I have my own dog so we typically go on three walks through the park and then play and cuddle! I have a fenced in small yard with turf. I go on my daily walks with my own dog and your pet can join. We play, hang out, and cuddle!
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“I was looking for a last minute boarding and Krysti saved my day.Not only was she accommodating, she made our pet super comfortable as we didn't have food nor bedding which Krysti took care of and also share continuous updates with us.”
“She was wonderful and super attentive. My dog enjoyed playing with her son, win, win! She did everything I asked of her to do. Already have her booked for a second visit.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“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”
“Candice is great! She always sends us regular updates during our dog Cali’s stay and meets Cali’s needs whether that’s cuddles or long walks. I’d recommend Candice to anyone looking for an attentive dog watcher who genuinely cares for the pups she watches. Also, her dog Kuma is super sweet and welcoming!”

Emily was incredible. She took care of Cloud and provided the best updates. She was very kind and responsive. She was flexible, so good to Cloud, and made me feel like Cloud was in really good hands. She gave her many walks and kept me updated. I cannot thank her enough for being so sweet. Emily is truly a good person and I am so grateful for her care.
Carolyn was so kind and welcoming to Maizey! She even took the care to assimilate her to her house slowly, introducing her to one floor at a time and keeping her separate from her other dogs until she settled in. She sent adorable pictures and daily updates. I really appreciate her! Thank you!
Jinae was absolutely wonderful with Kimi and Kraig! 💜 She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave them. She really took the time to understand their individual personalities and made sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Jinae truly cares for pups from the heart, and we’re so grateful to her. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again! 🐾💕

On Rover, 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Manhattan Beach 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 Manhattan Beach 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 Manhattan Beach.
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 Manhattan Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Manhattan Beach 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.
