“Ryan was great! He accommodated a last minute need when my sitter fell through and he was wonderful. Kept me updated and very responsive when I reached out. Finn came back to me happy as ever - will absolutely be booking Ryan again!”
“Pia took great care of our dog for a week while we were out of town! She sent plenty of updates and recapped each day with a note and pictures which we appreciated. Our dog loved getting to hang out with Pia and her pup, Stella. Would definitely recommend!”
“Alexis took great care of our puppy, highly recommend her. First time leaving our pup, so had a meet & greet in advance. During his stay, she sent me pics and videos everyday. Also asked before taking him out to a park. Great communication.”
“Jax had another great stay with Vicky! She sent regular photos and updates and made me feel at ease leaving Jax for the 4th of July weekend. I highly recommend Vicky and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need care for Jax.”
“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.”
“Alejandro was great—very communicative and our pup clearly loved him! He even got our dog to eat, which is rare for his first time staying with someone. Will happily book with Alejandro again!”
“Jess & Max were incredible! Taco loved staying with them. They clearly love dogs and made Taco very welcome and at ease straight away. They have great communication and sent updates. Taco will be staying again :)”
“Our Monk took a shine to Miri and Phillip right away, and we felt assured they would take good care of our pup. They were patient and kind with Monk, and kept him busy with visits to the beach, and we got the feeling that they gave him lots of love while we were gone. We think Monk sees them as part of the family now! Miri kept us in the loop with pictures and video, and our puppy was happy when we got him back. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Monk stay with her again.”
“Pepper has stayed with Megan and Josh a few times now and always loves her stay! I get daily updates and whether she is cuddling on the couch or playing fetch, she’s having a blast with them 🩷”
“Zsolt is the absolute best! He took such great care of Hank, took him on walks, and sent tons of photos and videos. He was super accommodating and made last minute adjustments because we had travel issues. I will absolutely use Zsolt again. 10/10!!”
“Kimberley is the best!! She kept my kitty in a smaller space so that she can acclimate better to the new location and would slowly expose my kitty to other pets if there’s any. Kimberley is very responsible and communicative. Will definitely book with her again!!”

We’re Ryan & Lilly, a dog-loving couple who believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while their family is away. We live in beautiful Marina Del Rey, just 5 minutes from the beach, which means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh ocean air, scenic waterfront walks, and lots of opportunities to explore. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely strolls around the marina, or simply relaxing on the couch with plenty of belly rubs, we’ll tailor their stay to their personality. Our home is calm, clean, and full of love. We treat every dog like part of the family—not just a guest. We understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so we’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. We welcome dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your companion is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior who enjoys a slower pace, we’re happy to adapt to their routine. We can follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and make sure your pup gets all the attention, exercise, and cuddles they deserve. Our goal is simple: when your dog goes home, they’ll be happy, relaxed, and excited to come back for their next beach vacation with us! We can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member 🥰🤗 P.S. besides English, we speak Russian and Spanish We work from home so we would love to give your fur baby a home, take care of them play with them any days of the week! We have a huge territory on the Marina as well as the beach 5 min away and the court yard under our balcony. Lots of nature around here. We have no pets, no kids and a pretty big apartment so your pet will have space
“The only sitter we’ll ever choose for Riley. Shiyibin has watched Riley for quick weekend trips and 3 week holidays and Riley is always excited to see her and relaxed and happy when we pick her up. We get updates every morning and evening and Shiyibin is always so kind and so patient. Don’t look anywhere else if you need someone to watch your pup ❤️”
“Recently moved to LA and had some anxiety about leaving my pup for the first time since I’ve been here. It was evident from the reviews that Josh was highly regarded in the area for his services so I entrusted him with caring for matters most to me. Josh was as advertised: trustworthy, consistently reachable and provided plenty of updates, including pics and videos. Such a relief to not toss and turn during my time away, knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I was in a pinch and needed someone desperately to care for my sweet Sophie. It was something about this family from the genuine pictures that gave me a good feeling. I went ahead and booked with them and I'm so glad I did! Not only did I get videos and pictures daily, I could tell Sophie was cared for as if she were their own and she was happy. When she came home, she wasn't anxious or uneasy, she was so relaxed and that made me feel good. I will most definitely be booking with Mariana, David and Alexaagain in the future! Thank you for taking care of Sophie on such short notice :) ”
About: I've taken care of dogs throughout my time in and out of corporate jobs, and now I'm home 24/7! Currently in transition and would love to meet and hang out with your pups in the meantime! Pet care is built into my day, not squeezed around it. I'm home full-time, which means your dog gets attention and company throughout the day. There are amazing dog parks nearby that I would happily take your dog to. Your pup will actually be tired and so taken care of by the time you pick them up. Your dog's comfort comes first. I've cared for big and small dogs at the same time for friends and family, so I know how to manage different energy levels and keep everyone happy. I keep the space calm and clean, always have fresh water available, and check in with owners regularly so you're never left wondering how your pup is doing. A gal who loves sending owners pics all the time if that works for you!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
Ryan took excellent care of my husky, Scarlet, for two weeks. She had a blast with him:). He frequently sent me photos and updates, which I greatly appreciated, and he even took the time to wash Scarlet's leash, which was so kind. Scarlet came back a very happy dog:). I highly recommend Ryan!!
Jiaxi is an amazing dog sitter. I felt my dog was safe and well cared for under care. She’s very responsive and seeks for the best situation to make sure her home is a welcoming place. Jiaxi is well informed in making sure a dog is comfortable during their stay. Five stars!
Liliana, aka Lily, was an absolute gem. I had a last minute need, just a few days before boarding my dog with Lily, and she was very responsive and receptive! I picked her because of her ratings and proximity to where we were staying during our visit to LA. Every day, we kept seeing and running into her walking my dog! She was so attentive to my pet's needs for walks and cuddles. I feel very lucky to have found Liliana & Ryan L.
We had a wonderful experience! They were so warm and loving with our pug, and it was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
John and Danielle have cared for Gracie three times now. They are super nice and very responsive. We always receive cute photos of Gracie and updates while we are away. Gracie always seems to be very relaxed and peaceful when we get home. She is too old to travel anymore so we are so grateful we found a place that Gracie gets to take vacation too.
Emily was fantastic with Otis over the four days she watched him. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I got regular updates and could tell he was in great hands the whole time. Would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!
Francesca took great care of my senior dog, Parker! She administered her medicine, took her on daily walks, and checked in with a photo daily. When my dog, who thinks she is a puppy at 14, got into her trash, Francesca communicated with me right away and monitored her to ensure she didn't eat anything she shouldn't have throughout. I was thankful she gave me updates & kept me in the loop!

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.
