“Pia is a God send! My last sitter had to stop sitting and I was left in a bind. Pia ended up being the perfect fit for my little guy! He absolutely loves Pia, Don and Ella! He runs from the car to her door like he lives there lol Pip is spoiled and energetic so I am always worried that he will be too much but he settled right in. Pia is very attentive, loving and sends lots of pictures. She cares for Pip as if he is her own and that makes me feel so comfortable. She makes us feel like family, I am very happy that we found her :)”
“Alina was an excellent sitter for Kona. From the photos she sent, I could tell just how happy Kona was - she barely seemed to realize we were gone! Alina communicated with us throughout the stay and made us feel very assured that Kona was in good hands. She took great care of our dog and highly recommend this wonderful sitter.”
“Jess & Max were amazing and very flexible with my 12 year old dog that has never been boarded before. Although I soon learned that my dog was not adjusting easily, I was already out of the country. Max and Jess turned up the care and attention for my Panda boy and took him out for extra walks, tried to play with him more, gave him extra attention, and pulled out all stops to keep my dog calm and help him snap out of missing me so much. They sent photos of Panda and gave me honest and truthful updates on how he was doing and adjusting without me. Max & Jess are amazing and I highly recommend them. I love how they only take 1 dog at a time so I was rest assured that two fun and dedicated humans were devoting their attention on one little dog. The neighborhood is a good dog-walking area too.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, so I was a bit nervous. Lisa did an amazing job of talking to us at the drop off, calming our nerves, and giving us constant updates and photos. Will definitely be using her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Jessica! As a senior pup, I was a little nervous leaving Gizmo with someone new over the holidays, but Jessica immediately put me at ease. She was communicative, thoughtful, and treated Gizmo like her own. Gizmo had the best time… so much so that he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! It was obvious he felt comfortable, happy, and so well cared for the entire stay. I’m incredibly grateful to have found a sitter I can trust… and Gizmo clearly can’t wait for his next vacation!”
“Thor had an amazing time with Beste. She did a great job taking care of him and providing the needed care for a bulldog by cleaning his nose and ensuring he gets plenty of play time. While I was away she did a great job sending photos of videos each day. When my flight was delayed she was able to accommodate my last minute crisis and ensure Thor was well taken care of”
“Jonathan has to be one of the best rovers I’ve ever used. I always know my dog is in great care with him. She gets walks, attention, and tons of social time with other dogs. She always comes home happy and sleepy and we are always able to go out without worry on our minds about her. Thank you for everything!!”
“Mia and Suki were amazing! We left our pup Pippa with them for the first time this past weekend, and they were great. We met them in advance so Pippa and Duke could meet, and Mia and Suki were so attentive to every detail. They sent lots of pictures, were super responsive, and took great care of Pippa. We’ll definitely be booking them again in the future!”
“Sarah and Karl are amazing. We don’t have the easiest dog - he is a big, slightly reactive shepherd mix - and Sarah and Karl handled him with ease. They watched him for 3 nights, met with us before hand to make sure it would be a good fit, and were in constant communication with us the whole time. They made us feel super comfortable with leaving our beloved pup in their hands, we will absolutely ask Sarah and Karl for support moving forward. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I’m Kathleen! I work in tech and am currently between roles, so I’ve happily become a full-time dog sitter. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’ll keep them happy, comfortable, and on their usual routine, with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and love. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great. I’d love to meet your pup! ❤️ I have a flexible and open schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can work around their usual meals, walks, playtime, and naps. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, from meals and walks to the little quirks that make them them. I have a dog at home. She loves being around other dogs and is very lazy and cuddly!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Andrew and his partner Annie! Our dog Benji has a lot of special health requirements, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. Both were incredibly friendly and attentive—they even gave us a tour of their home and their beautiful backyard, which immediately put us at ease. We received plenty of photos and updates throughout Benji’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. I found them last minute after some trouble with another sitter, and I was nervous at first, but Andrew and Annie truly exceeded all expectations. I would book with them again and again. The world needs more sitters and dog lovers like these two! Thank you both!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jasmine and her son Miles are the most loving sitters I have met. They cared for my dog as if he was their very own. She goes the extra mile to comfort and make your pet feel very loved also gives her undivided attention at all times. They are nurturing to your pet. I most definitely will use Jasmine for my day care needs moving forward.”
“Barbara was very kind and patient with our 5 month old pup. We left him with her for 6 days, our first time away from him since we adopted him, and she treated him with lots of love. She asked questions to make sure she understood his schedule and needs, and was prompt with communication whenever we got in touch with her. Charlie seemed very happy and well taken care of when we picked him back up!”
“I felt very at ease while Francesca watched my girl, Penny. She was easy to communicate with and sent plenty of updates. I hope to book with her again. Thank you, Francesca!”

Nicole and Ted took such great care of my large anxious dog! You can tell immediately how warm they are with pets and seek to understand their needs. I got many photos, updates, and funny moments! They are lovely people, and I would love Bubbles to hang out with them again!
Emily was incredible. She took care of Cloud and provided the best updates. She was very kind and responsive. She was flexible, so good to Cloud, and made me feel like Cloud was in really good hands. She gave her many walks and kept me updated. I cannot thank her enough for being so sweet. Emily is truly a good person and I am so grateful for her care.
Matt,, Sheri, and family took great care of Summer. They sent over pictures daily and gave her everything she needed to have her own vacation while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend and look for their help watching Summer in my next work trip! Thank you!
Kaitlind is amazing in every way;I could not have asked for more in a care giver for my pup. She is kind and definitely a dog lover - I knew my dog would be in good hands when we met her at the meet and greet. I truly appreciated her attentiveness and communication; she kept us in the loop with pictures and videos and my dog was very comfortable with her .Will definitely book Kaitlind again :)
Anna was so great with both of my dogs on an 8 day trip. She was very communicative and proactive with me throughout and sent lots of photos. She was able to handle anything they brought her way with ease. I’m looking forward to her watching them again in the future!
Miri and Philip were incredible dog sitters! They took such great care of my pup during his six-day stay, sending lots of photos and being very responsive throughout. He seemed right at home with them, and I especially loved how they treated him like he was their own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and attentive hands. I can’t recommend Miri and Philip enough!
Megan is truly the best! I’m so grateful to have found someone who cares for Daisy with so much love and affection. She pays attention to every little detail and goes above and beyond to make sure Daisy is happy, comfortable, and cared for. It means so much to know Daisy is in such thoughtful, loving hands. I couldn’t recommend Megan more! ❤️🐾

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Playa del Rey can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Playa del Rey. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
