About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I naturally connect with pets and understand their emotional needs, whether they need play, structure, or gentle comfort. I care for each animal as if it were my own, with warmth, patience, and a peaceful presence. My goal is that your pet feels completely safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’ll send photos and updates and make sure you feel confident every step of the way I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays :) I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I’m very respectful of people’s space, follow all household rules, and make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well-supervised. I maintain clean feeding areas, stick to your routines, send frequent updates, and treat your home with the same care I give to your pet.
“I can’t express to you the extent to which Sara and Aaron saved me. At 10:30 I got a call from work that I needed to come in (on a day I wasn’t planning to), and I messaged Sara and Aaron at 10:45 relaying the emergency. My dog Jeffy was in their home by 11:30. Not only were they so incredibly accommodating, but Jeffy had a blast, and Sara provided so many amazing photos throughout the day. They’re very communicative and you can tell how well-versed they are with dogs and dogcare. I recommend them highly. I’m not the most proud of my last-minute request and I don’t recommend being in that situation — it was a bit unfair to them and to Jeffy — but Sara and Aaron were understanding and exceptional hosts.”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.
“Lucinda was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gigi! This was Gigi’s first time staying with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lucinda took exceptional care of her, made her feel comfortable and loved, and it was clear that Gigi had an amazing time. Lucinda is kind, reliable, communicative, and has a genuine love for animals. We are so grateful to have found her and look forward to our pup staying with her again. :)”
“Jinyen took amazing care of Pipa! She was super flexible with timing and kept me updated with photos and messages. I could tell Pipa had a blast and felt totally safe and loved. Thank you so much!”
“Jonathan did a fantastic job watching my dog while I attended a work function. He was very kind, clearly knowledgeable about dogs, and took great care to keep my anxious pup happy and comfortable while I was away. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Dan is fantastic! He is a great communicator and was flexible with changes in pick up times. Dimey had so much fun on all their adventures going to the beach, hiking, and dog park together. He has a great space for the dogs to play outside too. Dimey and I both give him a 10/10”
“Scout always has a great time with Gwen and her pup! She’s super flexible when it comes to booking and is very understanding of my dog’s quirks. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter for a day or overnight.”
“I was very happy having Elliot and Franchesca take care of Migo today. They have a great indoor/outdoor setup and they are located on a very nice street in Santa Monica. Communication was great. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Madeline and her pup Chewy were so sweet and welcoming. She was so communicative and detailed that it made it so much easier. She made my pup Chili Cheese feel right at home and I will be booking with her again!”
“Roxanne was a life saver when I was new to town and it being the the first time I'd ever left my dog with someone other than family! She sent pictures throughout the day and my pup had a great time! She's great! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Yupee has a very calming sense about her which made me feel very much at ease to leave my dog under her care. Her own doggies are incredibly sweet and friendly. I really appreciated the updates and photo. I will for certain use her again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past decade and currently have a small 8 month old puppy named Sugar. She loves other dogs and is so playful. She’s very sweet and submissive, she loves big and small dogs of all sorts. I have an incredibly flexible schedule and I walk Sugar at least 4-5 times a day. She would love a pal to walk, hang, and play with throughout the day. I have a 1 bedroom apartment and a patio that’s puppy proof. My courtyard is gated for extra security and safety. I have no problem with dogs on the couch (I even have a mini staircase).
“Sherry (& Jamie pitched in too!) are a very loving and caring for my little Tubby. They fed him, walked him, gave me a detailed report card of how he did during his daycare stay, and showed lots of love and affection towards my precious pup. Sherry also gave me walking tips when I shared with her an issue I was having with my pup. They are both lovely, caring caretakers and I highly, highly recommend them. Their location makes for a lovely outdoor, very dog-friendly neighborhood outings for doggy daycare as well.”
About: Hi, I am Angelic! I have been a dog walker for 10 years and my life goal is to meet as many doggies and kitties as humanly possible! I have a senior pup here in LA and I love getting to experience LA through their eyes as a new Angeleno. I promise I will treat your baby like my own🤭 So excited to meet you 🩵 I currently work from home so I have a bunch of flexibility to take care of your pet! It changes up my routine and I love having dogs in my life 🤎 I am a very loving and gentle caretaker. I am always very cautious of their needs and restrictions. I also like to keep in close contact with pet parents to keep them informed!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and love every minute of it! Whether it’s training playful puppies, looking after senior dogs, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I always make sure they feel happy and comfortable. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule! I have availability on both weekdays and weekends, so I can give your pets the attention and care they need whenever you need me. In my cozy apartment, I create a safe and pet-friendly space alongside my small Yorkie. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and in a clean environment—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home!

Elliot took great care and was very patient with my little pups. My husband and I were very grateful for the help and my dogs were very calm and peaceful upon arrival. No sick nervous tummy’s when we picked them up for the evening so I know they were at ease while there. Would definitely reach out if we need a sitter on the west side again!
Dan is fantastic! He is a great communicator and was flexible with changes in pick up times. Dimey had so much fun on all their adventures going to the beach, hiking, and dog park together. He has a great space for the dogs to play outside too. Dimey and I both give him a 10/10
Kimberly was great, she handled Kobe really well. Her place is also perfect for dogs with a big backyard for dogs to roam around. You can tell right away that Kimberly loves dogs as Kobe felt right at home with her. Thanks again Kimberly for taking good care of Kobe!
Bobby’s loves her Mondays Spent with Brenna! I can just tell she’s had a great day when she’s been with Brenna. She is calm, happy, and tired from a big day of walks, play, and snuggles! Brenna is attentive and alerts me if she suspects or sees anything funky with Miss Bob! So grateful to have Brenna’s help and special care of Bobby.
Claire is exceptional at relating to dogs. I could tell from the first minute of interaction with my puppy that my puppy would be safe and well cared for and understood. Claire is also extremely flexible and goes above and beyond what a typical dog sitter is expected to do. I’m sure that your pet would have an excellent experience with Claire.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Pacific Palisades on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,418 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Pacific Palisades. 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 Pacific Palisades 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 7,418 sitters in Pacific Palisades, 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.
