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.
“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!”
“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. :)”
“Aaron has been so wonderful! 10/10. I was in a pickle and he was able to watch Piper for 7 days. He took such good care of her, walks.. dog park..beach..car rides..around town, she came home every day exhausted. She was excited to see him at every drop off. He kept me in the loop with lots of pics- highlight of my day while I was at work. She had the best time with him- I couldn't recommend him any more! Thank you so much!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover, I make sure every pet is comfortable, happy, and part of the family. Being home full-time means your pets get all the playtime, walks, and cuddles they deserve. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral needs and can also administer medication when necessary. Your pets will receive all the love and attention they need while you’re away! Since I’m home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love. With Palisades Park and the beach a few blocks away, your dog will have plenty to explore! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a secure, pet friendly space with toys and cozy places to relax, and I closely supervise playtime and interactions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable in my care. I also keep owners updated and respond promptly to any concerns, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
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 at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on anytime for you :) Your pets won’t just be staying with me - they’ll be part of my home. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime and photo updates throughout their stay. ✓ Frequent photo & video updates ✓ Lots of individual attention ✓ Walks and playtime ✓ Comfortable home environment ✓ Flexible drop-off & pickup ✓ Great communication ✓ Puppies welcome
“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”
“Roxeanne is wonderful! I’ve left my fur baby there twice now and he always comes back happy and exhausted- my perfect combination! She is consistently available and reliable which I really appreciate. Many thanks Roxeanne♥️🐻”
“Aleesa took care of my Penni as if she was her own. She sent countless updates throughout the day that reassured me Penni was not only in good hands, but blossoming and gaining confidence with both her and her fur babies’ influence. She gave her snuggles and love and took her for a walk to the park by the beach. I couldn’t have asked for more. Penni went from clinging to my side and fighting to leave me when I dropped her off to hardly showing interest in coming home! We will definitely be using Aleesa over and over.”
“Yupee is a very intuitive dog person. I loved the way she gave my Juliet senior dog the space to be independent and longing for "mommy". Yupee created an atmosphere for Juliet to find her own comfort zone. By the way Juliet's comfort zone was mostly hanging out near the door and guarding the front door activity in case I appeared. For a first visit, I did not expect Juliet to be the adventure seeking girl she once was years ago. Knowing that Juliet's attentive nature was perfectly in the realm of OK behavior, let me know Yupee understood the both active and attentive dogs. Yupee offered stellar communication, care and understanding with Juliet. . A true bonus Yupee is very understanding with people as well. I look forward to establishing a lasting relationship for Juliet and myself with Yupee.”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My last pet, my soul dog Bella, lived to be 18. We traveled the country together and I got the privilege of being her mommy from 8 weeks old to a little over 18. She has changed my life in so many ways and inspired me to help all other animals in need. I’m extremely caring, attentive and loving. I will treat your pet as if it is my own. However, I’m a bit of a spoiler when it comes to animals but I will lead in anyway that you would expect of me. I look forward to connecting with you and more importantly, your fur babies. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an Esthetician but I will always find time for my babies. My favorite time of day is when I get to be at home snuggling my pup and kitty. I always keep a close eye on my pets and keep anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I always pick up on their anxiousness or when they are not feeling well, and will go completely out of my way to make sure they’re ok!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maddie is truly the BEST dog sitter I could have ever found for Wylie. She is so attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about him like he’s her own. I get tons of picture updates throughout the day (which I absolutely love), and she always keeps me in the loop on how he’s doing. Wylie comes home happily exhausted every single time — which tells me he’s getting so much love, playtime, and attention while he’s with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, loving, and goes above and beyond, Maddie is 100% your girl. Wylie and I are so lucky to have found her!”
“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.”
About: Cat sitter & owner with 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to sweet seniors. I know every cat has their own personality, preferences and ways of communicating so I'm happy to be flexible, patient and detail-oriented in whatever routine & care makes them feel most comfortable, safe and cared for! I work from home and am available for cat drop-ins and boarding in my Santa Monica apartment. For drop-ins, I’m happy to follow your preferred routine and closely follow any specific care — whether that's fresh food & water, litter care, medication, playtime, brushing, or just keeping them company! I'll always respectfully and reliably follow your instructions & preferences for your home — and ensure food, water, litter, doors, windows, and any specific/special routines are handled with attention and care. I’m also more than happy to send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well!
“Jenny was great with my dog ! They went on long walks, had playtime with Hank, and lots of snuggles. Jenny was communicative and responsive throughout the day with updates and pictures. Drop off and pickup was also smooth and easy. We will be coming back soon!”
““Abby was an awesome care giver for my boy. She and her precious pup had never met him before, but not only welcomed him to their home, they became best of friends. Abby sent daily photos of images and videos of play, love and family as I was on the other side of the world, missing my pup dearly. She followed all of my directives to the letter and tucked him to sleep at night and woke him up - in his own home. Abby’s a real pro.” - Tom”

Christelle is absolutely AMAZING!!! She is everything you would want and more in a dog sitter. Our pup has been experiencing some separation anxiety after a move, and she was so patient and calm with her adjustment into her environment, even updating us on her interactions. Christelle was kindly accepting of our request within minutes of dropping Olive off, and her responses and updates again were very professional and out of the way to make sure we were informed. We had some harder news reach us in our personal lives this night, and showing up to a kind soul with our pup very happy was a really beautiful relief in the night. Thank you Christelle! You did more than just pup sit! If you’re wondering about booking her, rest assured your pup is in the right spot.
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. :)
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.

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.
