“Reliable, communicative, and a very kind soul. Thanks to Jeanne for providing me the peace of mind to travel while she took such great care of Romeo. I’ll be back!”
“Ryan is always great with my pup. He gets crazy excited when we pull up to Ryan’s house and he sees Ryan waiting for us, that confirms for me that Ryan is great to him. Then again, maybe I should say he’s awful to ensure he’s always available when I need him 🤣”
“We are so grateful to Maria and Ben for looking after our Bernedoodle while we were away! They are super communicative and we received lots of photos and videos which was so great while we were missing our girl.”
“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”
“Pia watched our recently-adopted senior rescue dog Merry and provided excellent, loving and thoughtful care. It was the first time that we’d left her overnight with anyone but I felt at ease knowing that Merry was with Pia and her family. She looked so comfortable and relaxed in every photo. I can’t recommend Pia enough.”
“Jess and Max are incredible! They shared the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. Luna came back in great spirits and we know she had the best time and was very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Jess and Max when we need a dog sitter in the future. We felt like Luna had her own weekend vacation while we were away on ours!”
“Amazing! Alicia and her boys were the perfect spot to leave our Ollie. Great comms, responsive and totally thoughtful. Don't hesitate to board your pet with her. Thank you!!”
“This was Oscar’s second stay with Zsolt and again we were so impressed with him! Lots of photo and video updates were so comforting to receive. Oscar gets so much love and attention when he stays with Zsolt and Pudding :) thank you again! Could not recommend him more as he is wonderful!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”
“Tomoko watched our 10 month old puppy over the Holiday weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! We set up a meet and greet and she did a great job managing my dogs puppy energy with her sweet 9 yr old dog, Missy. She sent us pictures and updates of our pup daily to make sure we felt comfortable the whole time, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Tomoko to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”
“We are so grateful that we found Lucero. She gave wonderful care to our dog. It was clear from the updates and videos that he was loved, comfortable and well cared while we were away. We could tell that our dog was happy and felt at home with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving and caring dog sitter.”
About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!
“Goose had a lovely stay with John and his wife! At first, Goose can be wary of men due to his past, but he warmed up to John and became besties overnight! Will definitely keep John in mind for future stay needs!”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic! She sent pictures and videos of Georgia throughout her stay. She took her to the dog park everyday and gave great updates that made us feel so comfortable with leaving her. Upon meeting, you can tell that Emily has a heart for dogs. Georgia came home and went straight to sleep! We’ll definitely be using Emily again.”
“Of course — here’s an updated version with those details: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment I dropped Daisy off at Megan’s apartment, she was so warm and her space was clean and tidy ready for my pup’s arrival it immediately put me at ease. She went above and beyond caring for my anxious pup and made sure Daisy felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I got constant updates, photos, and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was patient, attentive, and clearly treated Daisy like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter, truly exceptional. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Vicky did an amazing job caring for my doggie over Christmas. She sent me numerous photos and updates throughout the day, I felt like I was there with him experiencing the royal treatment vicariously. Vicky and her husband Stan even got my picky boy to eat all his food, cheering him on, sprinkling a grated treat over his food to entice him and sweetly shaping his food into a Christmas tree! They genuinely care and love dogs and clearly have a lot of knowledge about dog’s needs. When I came to collect my doggie, he was so calm and peaceful. I knew he had been well loved. His eyes looked great (he was prescribed drops for an infection right before boarding with Vicky). I can tell she took good care of him. Even his tail looked fluffy, with Vicky informing me he let her brush him with no problem! My dog really trusted her because he’s not easy to brush and give eye drops to! Vicky is seriously top-notch! The only downside is I think my dog wanted to stay with her when I came to pick him up, she did such an amazing job with him. She is truly exceptional and I feel really fortunate to have found her!”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
Jenny was amazing! She had great communication throughout the stay and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our cautious puppy’s very first boarding experience, and she was so patient and caring, helping him feel safe and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience and would absolutely trust Jenny with him again!
Val is a dream sitter! My corgi Lychee and I are very loyal and had a longtime sitter we’d been going to for years until they moved too far away for us to continue seeing them :( I was so nervous about finding and trusting someone new to watch Lychee, and Val immediately put my mind at ease. She offered a pre-stay play date to help us all feel more comfortable then shared regular updates throughout the stay! Lychee came home healthy; happy and full of every—I can tell she had a great time! Highly highly recommend!
Miri and Philipp took such good care of Louie, and through the daily pictures they sent, it looked like Louie had the best time! They kept our anxious little guy happy and comfortable throughout his whole stay, and we will definitely be looking to rebook with them in the future!
Amber was thoughtful, prompt, and flexible which is exactly what we were looking for! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking that changed again right before the date. She was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire booking. She made us feel more at ease with her quick responses and constant updates. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Had a wonderful experience with Maria. Right from the meet and greet it is obvious how much she loves animals and is dedicated to giving them the best experience. The drop off and pick up was super smooth, and she sent the best pictures and updates of my pup every day. My pup had the best time!! Would definitely recommend Maria for anyone who is nervous about picking a dog sitter. Thanks again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Playa del Rey on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,319 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Playa del Rey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Playa del Rey sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Playa del Rey landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Playa del Rey home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Playa del Rey.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Playa del Rey sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
