“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: 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!
“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”
“Lisa took such loving care of our two pugs for two weeks while we were in Spain. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, and let us know how the boys were doing and that we missed them. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caregiver to dogs for over 50 years. I am a nurturing and responsible person. I have experience with senior dog care as well as puppy care. I am a very active person who loves to walk and play with your furry friend. I’m a retired mother of 3 and have a very active lifestyle. I am flexible and available throughout the week. I also live close to LAX for easy drop off and pick ups. I am a nurturing and responsible person and I would love to walk and play with your pet. I have a home with a fenced in yard. I have room for them to play and be active. I also have space to your crate dog and always keep them safe. I am walking distance to many parks.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2008, and they’ve been a huge part of my life ever since. I’ve loved raising two dogs and two cats of my own, and as a long-time Rover user myself, I know exactly what it’s like to care deeply about who is watching your pets. One of the most rewarding experiences has been fostering senior pets who needed a little extra patience, comfort, and care. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a playful adult, or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to medication or care routines, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to help them feel at home and give you peace of mind. I work remotely (except on Mondays from 9–2 PM), which gives me a flexible schedule and since I only take one client at a time, it allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication, or just some extra companionship, I’m able to incorporate their routine into my workday and ensure they receive plenty of attention and care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: ### 🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home ❤️ **Private doggy daycare and boarding in a calm, loving home environment—ideal for dogs who prefer individual attention over crowded daycare.** I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Your dog is family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I **work from home**, which means your pup gets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give each dog the individual attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. ### ❤️ Experienced, Loving & Trustworthy I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was a little girl and was a devoted dog owner for **16 years**. I personally cared for my senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and compassion that older dogs may need. I also have experience with **medications and special-needs care**, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions to help your dog maintain their normal routine. Over the years, I’ve also become a **trusted pet sitter for friends and their beloved animals**. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. And yes—I **LOVE puppies!** 🐶💕 I’m happy to provide the extra patience, playtime, supervision, and affection that puppies need. ### 🏡 Calm, Private & Personalized Care I intentionally offer a more personal alternative to traditional, crowded doggy daycare. Rather than putting your pup into a large group environment, I focus on creating a **comfortable, calm home-away-from-home experience** tailored to your dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest curled up beside someone, I’ll get to know what makes them comfortable. ### 🌴 Walks, Play & Beach Life I live close to the beach and absolutely love getting outside. If your dog enjoys walks, exploring, and getting some exercise, I’m happy to incorporate **walks and visits to local dog parks** when appropriate for their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions regarding exercise, socialization, and what your dog is comfortable with. ### 🐾 I Follow Your Dog’s Routine I know that consistency helps dogs feel secure, especially when they're away from home. I’m happy to follow your instructions for: • Meals and feeding schedules • Treats and favorite snacks • Walks and exercise • Potty breaks • Medications • Special-needs care • Nap and sleep schedules • Favorite toys and activities • Anxiety or behavioral considerations • Any special routines that make your dog feel at home ### 📱 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How They’re Doing I’ll keep you updated during your dog's stay and am happy to send **photos and videos** so you can see how your pup is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about your dog. Before your first stay, I’d love to learn about your dog— their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, sensitivities, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible experience. **Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own.** ❤️🐾 Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good fit. I'm currently freelance and work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible. I live a block away from the beach, so it is easy for me to take the dogs on walks to the beach. I have an apartment that was used to having a dog for many years! So, the dog would be in a very comfortable living situation where I could bring toys and bed and also keep a crate here if necessary.
“I’ve had such a great experience with Ryan! He is incredibly dependable and reliable, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. He’s also super flexible and always willing to help out, even when I book on short notice. What really stands out is how accommodating he is—he genuinely pays attention to my dog’s needs and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable and happy. It’s clear he truly cares, and that means everything to me. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!”
“Megan was amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppy and I was so worried but he did great with Megan! She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me updated with all the details with Knix! He came home happy and healthy. I will highly recommend Megan and she will be seeing Knix again!”
“Sierra was wonderful with Archie! She was very communicative throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could genuinely tell she cared about him and treated him with so much love and attention. We felt completely comfortable knowing Archie was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Val was unbelievable and so caring. It is very evident how much she cares for dogs and understands what it's like for owners to leave their pets with others. She sent us pics and updates. Our pup loved being with Val and we could tell she had an amazing time. 10 out 10, would recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. She is experienced, loving, and just genuinely cares about dogs.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve booked a sitter through Rover due to a negative past experience so I was hesitant doing it again. However, I was in a bind & had to do a last minute booking. And I am so glad to have booked with Brendan. Moose stayed with him for 5 days and came back super tired from the adventures with Brendan. We received daily photos & videos of their trips to the park and beach. Moose is a little reactive to other dogs & it felt like he came back from Brendan’s a little calmer. He gave me tips on how I can help with Moose’s reactive behavior towards other dogs. Brendan is a life saver & we’re definitely going to rebook with him again.”
“Beste and Oguzcan took such great care of our Cavalier, Oscar, while we were out of town. I am new to LA and Beste put my mind at ease while having a new sitter care for our fur baby. They sent frequent updates with pictures letting me know how he was doing. He came home happy and tired so I know he had a great time 🥰 I would absolutely use Beste and Oguzcan in the future and would highly recommend!”
“Scout loved his stay with Gwen and Bert! He had a fantastic time playing and cuddling, and Gwen was great at sending updates. Would definitely recommend Gwen if you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy sitter!”
“We are so grateful to have found Jeanne to care for our dog, Luglio. From the very beginning, she was warm, responsive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made us feel completely at ease while we were away, sending regular updates and the sweetest photos that showed just how happy and relaxed Luglio was in her care. Jeanne went above and beyond to make sure Luglio felt at home, giving him plenty of love, walks, and attention. It was obvious she treated him like one of her own. He came back to us happy, calm, and well cared for—exactly what every dog parent hopes for. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jeanne again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving dog sitter!”
“It can be so nerve racking leaving a working breed dog with anyone, but Jonathan is amazing. He sent lots of amazing pictures of their adventures and really put my mind at ease. He’s so calm and really seems to just love being around dogs. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”

John and Danielle have been amazing to work with! They are both so quick to respond and they send the best pictures to keep you updated on your pet. They send frequent updates so you don’t have to worry. Georgia is always well taken care of and enjoys her time with them! I will continue to use them in the future.
Maxine went above and beyond taking care of our 13-year-old dog, Bo! She sent us so many wonderful videos and pictures of him throughout his stay — playing frisbee at the beach, sleeping, sunbathing, and just enjoying himself. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was. When we picked Bo up, we could immediately tell he had the best time and had been so well cared for. We’re incredibly grateful to Maxine for taking such wonderful care of our sweet senior pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and are already looking forward to Bo’s next stay!
Finn was so happy and well taken care of during his stay! He is a senior rescue dog and is blind in one eye. I was nervous to leave him for the first time, and Lisa was kind and encouraging. She and her husband were very warm and caring, treating Finn like a member of the family. Thank you!
Brandy and Tyler are a great team! This was Korra’s first time staying with them, and she stayed for three nights. From the pictures Brandy sent, we could see that Korra was becoming more comfortable and happy there. We really appreciated the updates and care they gave her. Thank you, Brandy and Tyler!
Anna was amazing! My partner and I have never used Rover before and were nervous leaving our dog with a new person. Anna was incredibly communicative, friendly and has extensive knowledge about dogs. She updated us often and we knew Nalu was in great hands while we were gone! Great experience! Definitely recommend and will absolutely use her 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!! 🐶❤️🐾

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.
