About: With over 15 years of experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest and most at ease. I intentionally care for one family at a time, allowing me to give every pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. This means no crowded daycare atmosphere—just thoughtful, one-on-one care designed around your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and reassurance. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than just quick visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I can tailor my schedule to their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog (or one family of dogs) at a time so every guest receives personalized attention in a calm home environment. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.
“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 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.”
“My dogs had a great stay with Kyle. I appreciated the meet and greet before booking. Kyle was super flexible and accommodating on the scheduling. It was obvious that he knew how to care for the dogs and he helped with walk training. A very positive experience.”
“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”
About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a marketing writer based in Manhattan Beach, originally from the Midwest, and I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and couch space to give yours. I’m a very experienced dog godmother and genuinely love spending time with pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from beach-walk extroverts to cozy little couch potatoes. Because I work from home full-time, I’m especially available during the day for walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and check-ins. We even live right next to Bruces Beach Park so we can run around and play! Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll get real attention, affection, and a calm, comfortable place to hang while you’re away. I’m also available for overnight boarding and would love to make your dog feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home so I have fairly free availability most days of the week and your pet will have constant companionship! Please let me know for boarding requests :) I do not have pets so your pet will be the only one in my apartment, we are also young thirties with no children so the full focus will be on your pet!
About: I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Quality care is super important to me so the more I know about your family member (pet) the best I can be of support. If they are a day napper who enjoys peace and quiet or an active puppers who enjoys long walks I am here. I will have complete open availability for the month of August 2026 . There is potential for additional availability in the month of September 2026. I am just a mile away from the beach , walking trail and 10 minute walk from a park. There is availability for both pet care in my home or at the client home. There is also a 24 hour emergency vet clinic just a 2 min drive away if needed (I like to be prepared)
“Helen was awesome! She took such great care of our maverick for over 12 hours. She sent several videos throughout the day. He was so happy when he was back home. Would trust her to watch him again.”
“I never really review things ever but this was my BEST experience on Rover, and I mean that so sincerely. Very polite and friendly, quick responses, thorough check-ins to ask about care, and it was very apparent that my dog was in fantastic hands during his stay here. I have left my dog with people that were “okay” but didn’t check in as much as I would like or didn’t seem to care for the instructions I had. This was the first time where I felt SO confident and comfortable that my dog was in excellent care. I don’t think I’ll (willingly) use another sitter. Thank you so much Andrew!!”
About: I have been devoted to animal care for as long as I can remember. Born in Burlingame, California, I have lived in different parts of the United States, experiences that have shaped my adaptability, compassion, and appreciation for different communities and lifestyles. My journey with animals began at five years old in Macedonia, where I spent my childhood caring for stray cats and dogs and developing a lifelong passion for protecting and advocating for animals. I hold a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Middle Tennessee State University and have over 1,000 hours of veterinary assistant experience. My scientific background, combined with hands-on clinical experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, detail-oriented care while recognizing subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and health. I recently completed an upper-level Animal Physiology course through UCLA Extension with a 4.0 GPA as I continue preparing for my goal of attending veterinary school. My education and veterinary experience allow me to provide a higher level of care, from maintaining daily routines and enrichment to supporting pets with medical considerations. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care that I would want for my own animals. I focus on personalized care, consistent communication, and creating a safe, comfortable experience for your pet while you are away. I would be honored to provide exceptional, reliable care for your companion. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I build my schedule around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet. Alongside pet sitting, I continue my education through UCLA and UCSD Extension as I prepare for veterinary school and volunteer with local veterinary clinics to further expand my experience. My goal is to provide exceptional care, consistent communication, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality and routine. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their schedule, preferences, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide personalized attention, enrichment, regular walks, playtime, and detailed photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My veterinary assistant experience also allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and provide attentive, knowledgeable care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience where your pet feels loved and your family has complete peace of mind.
“Claudia & Nicholas took such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Nico has a seizure disorder, and although it doesn’t happen often, he did have a few episodes while he was with them. They handled it with so much calm, care, and compassion, which meant the world to me. They are incredibly trustworthy, and I would absolutely have them watch Nico again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of pets - from cats, dogs, horses and more - since I was 6 years old! I grew up with a Portuguese Water Dog which is a very high energy breed and was the known neighborhood dog and cat sitter whenever anyone went out of town! I currently have a cat as well as a horse that I care for daily. I am familiar with administering oral meds, providing stimulating play time, and giving pets the love they deserve. I know how difficult it can be to trust another to take care of your special friend, and I pride myself in caring for others as I would my own - with much love, care and attention to detail. Please reach out with any questions - I look forward to meeting you! I work full time remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule! I love to spend as much free time around four legged friends as I can. Safety is of the utmost importance in my care and I always think of the pets’ needs first no matter if we are at home, out on a walk, or at the park.
“Sophia was so incredible with my Frankie! She sent so many updates (which are always my favorite), and you can tell she really made sure Frankie had a fun day. Frankie didn’t want to leave, she loved Sophia!”
“Shay took great care of Olive! He listened to the special quirks and triggers she got, and our directions on how to handle them. Sent updates throughout the day with photos of her relaxing and out walking. She would love to come back again!”
“Renee was the best, she made us feel so comfortable and made sure our small puppy was acclimated before we left him. Howie had a blast with Renee, her family and all the dogs. We will absolutely be back!!!”
“Neptune had a blast and was so excited to spend the day with Amanda’s Aussie, Floki!!! She shared pictures throughout the day showing me how much fun my lil dude was having.”
About: I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, horses etc in the English countryside! My dad was a farmer so I’ve always been around animals. I’m yet to get my own dog, but i’ve always looked after friends dogs when they go away or I’m always on hand if they need a walk in the daytime! I absolutely love dogs (and all animals), and cannot wait to get to know yours :) My work schedule is very flexible, I work part time and from home so my schedule can very much fit around looking after your dog! I live in a spacious 2 bed with a large balcony! My apartment is 1 minute walk from the strand where I can easily walk your furry friend whenever needed :)
About: Hi! I am Jackie, and I live close to Live Oak Park. I am home full time, and I am also one of the pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home meeting and a home inspection. My two Malteses, Abby and Oscar, and I are looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! Being retired, I have all the time in the world, plus all the love in the world, to direct at your dog. You couldn't have found a more loving, devoted sitter to watch your dog, whether for along-stay or short-stay. I pride myself in the care I put forth to my four-legged guests. Don't feel bad taking that trip you've always wanted to go on, leave your dog with me! I can watch all types of dogs; breed, size, only up to 30 pounds please, and age. I will be willing to watch bigger pals if they are polite and non-energetic. I'll even watch that puppy you just added to your pack. I am comfortable administering medication if your dog need such. Why I love dog sitting Dogs are my life! I have two furbabies but I have plenty of love to share with fur guests as well! I don't remember a time that I didn't have a connection with dogs. They are truly some of my best friends! About my yard My complex has plenty of room for me to walk your dog, and also have a small common area for your dog to run and play. My experience administering medication I have no problem giving your dog his medications as you tell me to. I am not, however, comfortable administering injections. I am retired and spend most of the time around the home. When am at home my main concern is making your fur babies content and happy. I live on a street that has many walking paths to venture out on. It depends strictly on the energy and stamina of your dogs. I'll do anything and try and make your dog happy.

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.
