“Shane was awesome. Super pumped to see Rosie everyday and Rosie nearly yanked my arm off running to see him in the morning. I really feel like he treated our dog like his own. He sent updates and photos frequently. I felt very comfortable leaving her each day. He was flexible and helpful at drop off and pick up. We will hope to call on him again when needed.”

“Denise is AWESOME!! She took great care of my dog, took her on a walk and gave her a ton of belly rubs. My dog can be shy with hooman she meets for the first time, but she warmed up to Denise quite quickly. Would definitely recommend Denise - she is reliable, responsible and responsive. She knows dogs and you can trust her with your pup!”
“Kyle was quick to reply to a last minute dog sitting request, and I’m so grateful he was able to help. He was flexible, accommodating, and very responsive throughout the entire process. This was my first time putting my puppy in daycare, but he reassured me and made me feel confident that my puppy was in good hands. He clearly has experience with puppies and even puppy socialization. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“My first puppy care was a complete success. Mindy responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns. I could tell by the pictures that Artie was happy and cared for. Artie had a great first doggie day care experience, AND SO DID I. I hope to be a repeat customer. Thank you, Mindy. Mark n Artie”

“Jinae had great communication and was flexible enough with some last minute scheduling changes! She also sent lots of pics and videos during the day showing our dog having a great time!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family’s pets for years, and it’s become one of my favorite things to do. I’m the person everyone calls when they need someone they truly trust and the biggest compliment I get is that their pets don’t want to go home when vacation ends! I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups who love outdoor time to cozy cuddle-bugs who just want companionship and a soft place to snooze. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while their families are away. I also live very close to LAX which is convenient if you need to drop your dog while you’re away. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs absolutely love. I work from home part-time, so caring for pets blends perfectly into my daily life. I love having furry company during the day and can give frequent attention — whether that's walks, play breaks, or extra cuddle sessions. Your pet won’t be left waiting; they’ll be part of my daily routine and treated like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with constant supervision and a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I take care to follow your pet’s routine and needs closely, and I treat every animal with the same level of attention and respect as I do my own. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in a safe, caring, and trustworthy home.
“Helen took excellent care of our pup! Matcha was pooped after he came back from her place and was excited to be there again. She took him to the dog park and also fed him for us when we were running late. He also came back smelling very good. We would recommend her and would be happy to leave Matcha in Helen’s care again!”
“Taylor was great with our pup! She took him on many walks, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was overall super easy going. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

Sophia was fantastic with ChouChou! She was incredibly communicative throughout the night and very flexible when I had to pick him up late after an event, no issues at all. It was ChouChou's first time being boarded and she made the transition seamless. He clearly loved her. Would absolutely book again!
Pamela is an exceptional dog sitter. She is caring, conscientious, and truly thinks of everything to make sure your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. While Johnny stayed with her, she took him on long walks, outings to the park, and gave him plenty of attention and exercise. Her backyard is perfect for dogs, providing a safe and enjoyable space for them to play and explore. Most importantly, Pamela treated Johnny like one of her own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter. Johnny came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for!
Kimberly is a wonderful, kind, caring, loving, and attentive dog sitter. I love her loving energy and her love for dogs. I found a perfect sitter for my dog. I can feel confident and secure while I’m away knowing my dog is in good care under Kimberly. I highly recommend her!
Denise was absolutely wonderful. We had booked her last minute as we wanted to have a beach day and were lucky she was available. She was extremely accommodating and flexible with our arrival and even watched Ruxbin a little longer than originally planned so we could go out to dinner. She was extremely communicative throughout and sent updates and photos. Ruxbin immediately felt comfortable with her.
Eiko is a very nice, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Her house is very clean, stylish, and there is ample space for dogs to run around, play, or lounge outdoors. I felt comfortable and at peace knowing that my dog was under Eiko’s supervision and care. I highly recommend Eiko for dog sitting and boarding.
This was my anxious dog’s first time with Sean, and it couldn’t have gone better. Sean gave him the space he needed to decompress, provided a calm and quiet environment, and even set up a cozy spot just for my dog. I really appreciated how much Sean looked out for Bilbo. 🐾
Shane was awesome. Super pumped to see Rosie everyday and Rosie nearly yanked my arm off running to see him in the morning. I really feel like he treated our dog like his own. He sent updates and photos frequently. I felt very comfortable leaving her each day. He was flexible and helpful at drop off and pick up. We will hope to call on him again when needed.
We had a great experience with Dorothy and would absolutely book again. Communication was on point from start to finish, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. She was very kind and clearly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog was also sweet and got along really well with ours, which was a big plus. Even though it was just a half-day sitting, she still sent plenty of updates, which we really appreciated. Overall, a 5-star experience, thanks Dorothy & Izzy!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manhattan Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Manhattan Beach on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,032 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Manhattan Beach. 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 Manhattan Beach 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 8,032 sitters in Manhattan Beach, 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 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.
