“5 out 5 stars… From the moment my fur baby, Luna recognized where she was going her body started to vibrate with excitement. Alex, is an incredible dog sitter who not only provided the cutest pictures throughout the day, but he was also able to address a concern I had about Luna with thoughtfulness and intelligence which speaks highly to his training abilities. Luna always returned to me at the end of the day a tired and well balanced pup. For these reasons and so much more, I highly recommend Alex for your dog sitting needs and look forward to rebooking him in the near future.”
“Lilly and Ryan were wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found them. They live in my apartment complex, which made everything so convenient, and they took great care of my little Millie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Megan is the best! We were in town and needed a dog sitter last minute - so glad we met her. She took such great care of our frenchie, Louis. She sent lots of updates and photos. Louis even made a friend and I can tell when we picked him up that he was in great hands and had an active day with Megan. 100/10 recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer if we’re ever back in town!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of dogs and other pets of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I work part-time for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and can usually be available as long as I receive notice ahead of time. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, going to the park, or helping them burn off energy and stay happy. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care while you’re away. When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all of your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I treat every home with respect and ensure everything stays clean, safe, and exactly how you left it. I will provide fresh water, regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your dog feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to reduce any stress your pet may feel while you’re away by giving them consistent care, affection, and companionship right in their own home. For longer stays I prefer my dog accompany me. She is 1.5 years old, trained, and extremely friendly.
“My pup stayed with Aleesa for daycare and she was wonderful! Very kind, and made sure to send me updates throughout the whole stay. I can see she really loves and cares for dogs & I would 10/10 recommend her!”
“We have booked Emily to dog sit our pup multiple times and couldn’t not recommend her more! She truly goes above and beyond and our dog is always so happy to be with her. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“Xun has been an amazing caretaker of our Goldendoodle Dustin. She provides multiple unprompted picture updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Xun to care for your beloved family member, I have used her services on four prior occasions, and I will not hesitate to book her again.”
“I had a great experience with Ryan. He took excellent care of my senior dogs, including one who was healing from an ingrown nail and had some trouble walking. He handled him with such care and patience. I appreciated the photo update while I was away and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. My dogs came back calm and content. I would definitely recommend Ryan and will be booking again in the future.”
“Kaitlind took amazing care of our doodle! He had so much fun playing with the other puppies and enjoyed several walks throughout his stay. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Communication was great — she responded quickly and was even able to accommodate our last-minute booking. Highly recommend Kaitlind!”
“Would highly recommend Annie for dog sitting as she has always been super flexible with my schedule and is always responsive. She took my dog on multiple walks throughout the day and was accommodating for all of my pet’s needs”
“Ross watched our puppy ‘Henry’ this evening while my husband and I had “date night”. Ross is very experienced with dogs and handled our four-month-old golden retriever puppy beautifully. Thanks, Ross!”
“Millie had such a great day with Hope! She got to hang out on the balcony, play fetch with her ball, and go out for frequent potty breaks. Hope was super kind and communicative and Millie warmed up to her quickly :) can’t wait to bring her back soon!!”
“Mickie was fabulous. This is the first time she cared for our dogs. We were immediately impressed by her and her space. She took great care of our two dogs while we went to a concert. They got along great with Mickie’s dogs. She has a great space for the dogs. I would be happy to have Mickie care for my dogs again.”
“We were in town on vacation and Jessica took great care of Macey. She took her for a walk and even sent a video of them taking the walk. Would recommend and will book with Jessica when we are in town and in need again. Thank you Jessica Randy and Macey”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marina del Rey
Everything went great! ✨ He took care of Whisky, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there. My tired brain after a night shift misread the address, but Alex handled the situation perfectly and came to meet us, which we really appreciated. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Whisky seemed happy 🙂 Thank you again!
Devon is great - would highly recommend! He has a great setup in his back yard and is a very good communicator. My dog is a little scared of daycare but he had an excellent time with Devon and the other dogs at his home. Will definitely work with him again in the future!
Joelle was fantastic with Hunter! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Hunter came home happy, and it’s clear she’s a genuine dog lover who truly cares about the pets she watches. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and am looking forward to having her watch Hunter in the future.
Brittany is super friendly and easy to communicate with. Biscuit felt right at home! We felt extra comfortable that she mostly takes small, older dogs, so it was a great fit for our senior pup with medical needs. Also grateful for her thorough Meet & Greet and flexibility. Will be staying with her again
Lilly and Ryan were wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found them. They live in my apartment complex, which made everything so convenient, and they took great care of my little Millie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both! ❤️❤️❤️
Our dogs loved Maxine! She was so great with them- taking them on multiple walks on the beach and paying special attention to our instructions and routine. She was also available on short notice which we were so thankful for! Multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and always responded quickly. We will definitely use Max again!! 🫶🏻

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 Marina del Rey 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 7,719 sitters in Marina del Rey, 87% 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.
