“Colleen was great with my little guy and her pups are so sweet! Plenty of photos and updates through his entire stay so I knew he was settling in nicely, getting pets and relaxing. He was on a walk with her when I met them for pickup and I could tell he was very comfortable!”
“Roxanne is amazing! She looked after our Bichon Frise for a couple of months when our family moved overseas and needed care for him until he could join us. She went well beyond our expectations and treated our dog like one of her own. She kept us well informed with daily emails of his daily activities. He loved his time with her and we couldn't recommend her more highly.”
“Jess & Max were amazing sitters and very accommodating! We received updates throughout the day on our pup’s progress and ensured that his first sitter experience was nothing short of great!”
“Victoria was amazing! She was able to watch my dog on very short notice for a family emergency and was very communicative throughout the whole process. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy during her stay.”
“Emily is very sweet and accomodating. My dog Cobe stayed with her for 4 nights while I was on a work trip. She sent regular pics and videos and took great care of Cobe.”
About: I’ve cared for pets for 10+ years, and friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs while they’re away. I’m calm, patient, and very detail-oriented, so I follow your pet’s routine closely (meals, potty schedule, walk pace, and house rules). I’m also great with shy or anxious pets and always move at their pace to build trust. You’ll receive reliable updates with photos every visit so you can feel completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I can do morning and evening visits, longer hangouts when needed, and I’m responsive with communication throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule—especially for pets who do best with consistency. If you have specific timing requests (feeding times, longer walks, or extra playtime), just let me know and I’ll plan around it. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm energy in every home. I follow instructions closely—food portions, leash rules, and any special care needs. I live in a luxury apartment community with access to a private, fully fenced dog park for safe potty breaks and supervised playtime (with your permission). I’m careful with doors and transitions to prevent escapes, and I always keep pets secure and comfortable. You’ll receive consistent photo updates and quick communication if anything seems off.
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“Mindy was so accommodating to Raisin! She sent photo and status updates each day and was very responsive. It was our first time in two years leaving Raisin in boarding, and we could tell she was in the best care. Highly recommended”
“I am not sure I can express how wonderful Jasmine and her partner are in this review space. We have an old dog that is very particular about which humans he associates. In addition, we have not had to board him outside of family in nearly 8 years. Jasmine made an immediate connection with our dog, and gave us constant updates and pictures. Her care is made our vacation possible. We felt so comfortable that not only she would take good care of our dog but also do everything she could to his stay enjoyable. She alleviated all of our anxieties about leaving our 16 year guy with someone new. I cannot say enough about her!”
“Dave was fantastic! I’ve only ever used Rover twice and the first time wasn’t a good experience. Dave was very straightforward and clear about everything. He gave me various updates over the weekend. Greatly appreciate his patience with my dog, who apparently liked to munch on the various snacks on the counter. Thanks again Dave!”
“What a wonderful host! As a fellow DogVacay sitter, I know that some dogs have difficult behaviors- mine is no exception! Harley is a consummate professional, and put us at ease immediately. She was extremely kind and had obviously made our dog, kona, part of the family. Excellent communication throughout and we felt very happy leaving kona in her care. Thank you Harley and family!”
“Su and her family took great care of my precious girl! She has a lot of energy and Su provided several opportunities and avenues for Zo to get her energy out. We’ll definitely be returning customers. Thanks, Su!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with a group of dogs... Brandy lives up to her reviews. She was great with a meet and greet and I felt like she wanted to be sure that my dog was a good fit for her as well. She sent multiple pics daily with notes. The big test was how my dog was when I picked her up...and she was happy and well! I highly recommend Brandy and look forward to a return visit.”
“Kyle was amazing with our puppy Lofi!!!!!! I cannot overstate how well he took care of her. She was so happy to be there. We got frequent pictures (all of which we saved because duh!!) and she got great socialization opportunities as an 8 month old. We have utmost trust in Kyle and will be coming back whenever we can’t bring our little loaf with us. We are so impressed and thankful we met you!”
“Chelsi has a lovely family, her children and her dog Leo are super super friendly to my dog. Chelsi also takes care of my dog into the very details. Sending photos/video updates many times throughout the day. Makes us worry less and she's super reliable”
“This was our first time using Rover and Ryan was great with Duke! Our pup can be quite a bit to handle but Ryan didn’t seem phased at all! Super easy and laid back and was very responsive anytime I reached out. Will be trying to make Ryan our go to sitter for Duke.”
“There are no words proper enough to express my gratitude. Emelyn was a true angel! My little beagle got sick during his overnight stay and she was very understanding, compassionate and communicative throughout the process. I will definitely use her as much as possible and consider myself lucky to have found such an understanding and reasonable dog sitter! Thank you again Emelyn.”

Highly recommend Emily! My dog, Kinsale, has stayed with her many times, for stays ranging from a couple of days to 10+. Emily is always communicative and sends lots of pictures - Kinsale always looks like she’s having a blast. Every time I drop her off, she’s excited to see Emily and happy to head inside. I know she loves being there, and I’ll always trust Emily to watch her.
Jeanne was incredibly kind and took great care of my dog Lulu. She updated me throughout the days taking care of my dog with lots of pictures and videos, it was evident how happy my dog was being with Jeanne. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an incredible dog sitter!
Ryan was absolutely amazing with our pups, Kona and Daisy, during our wedding weekend! He made the entire weekend so stress-free because we knew they were in such good hands. He sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us enjoy our wedding knowing they were happy and well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. We will definitely be using him again! 🐾
Thank you, Pia!!!❤️ We felt so lucky to know that Murphy was in great hands while we were away! He loved spending time with Pia and her sweet dog, Stella! Pia sent great updates throughout our trip so we could see how much fun he was having! Murphy has been cuddling with a toy Pia gave him since we picked him up last week.❤️🐾 I know Murphy is looking forward to another stay at Pia's!! 🐶❤️🐾
Kaitlind is a great sitter! Mali was immediately comfortable with her and she had so much fun throughout her stay. Communication was great & Kaitlind was always so kind and quick to respond. She was super accommodating & helpful administering my pup’s medication during her stay. We look forward to using her again!
I can’t say enough good things about Malea! She has watched my mini Goldendoodle multiple times now, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She is incredibly reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. This last time, I actually messed up the timing on my end, and Malea was so understanding that she literally rearranged her own plans to accommodate me. That meant so much to me and really showed how dependable she is. She also sends pictures and updates, which I absolutely love because it lets me know he’s happy and being well taken care of while I’m away. It’s so nice having someone I can truly trust with my dog. I will definitely be using Malea again and again! 🐾❤️
Mia was absolutely incredible watching our pup! It was the first time being away from her since we first brought her home and the entire weekend mia was keeping us updated with so many cute photos and videos and it was such a great feeling knowing we could enjoy our weekend away knowing Sunny was having so much fun with her and her new best friend, Duke! Every worry went out the window immediately knowing how much fun and attention Sunny was getting. Every picture showed how comfy Sunny was and it was just such a good feeling knowing she was in such good hands! We will DEFINITELY be rebooking as soon as we have more travel planned!
Shayna was awesome! She was great at communicating w us throughout the time she watched our dog, sending photos daily, and checking in on our preferences for him. My Charlie is a shy dog but he seemed to really warm up to Shayna quickly bc of her kind nature. We will definitely book again with her :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Playa del Rey on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,228 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.
