“Toffee had such a great time with Evie! He went on a nice beach walk and she kept me updated throughout the day with lots of fun photos. She even gave Toffee a bath so he was all nice and clean for pickup.”
“Maria is the best! I met her while on a walk and she was caring for another dog. I was so impressed with her kind spirit and love for animals. When it came time that I needed someone to look after my dog it was no question I had to reach out to Maria! She was extremely communicative and flexible. I highly recommend🙌🏼”
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!
“My dog has separation anxiety and Jackie was so helpful and kept sending me updates with videos and photos. It was my first time using Rover and I’m happy with the service Jackie provided. Her dog played well with my mine. Highly recommend Jackie to dogsit and will use her services again.”
“I had a great experience with Ryan. He took excellent care of my senior dogs, including one who was healing from an ingrown nail and had some trouble walking. He handled him with such care and patience. I appreciated the photo update while I was away and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. My dogs came back calm and content. I would definitely recommend Ryan and will be booking again in the future.”
“We are so grateful for Francesca. She always takes great care of Ellie. We appreciate the seamless communication, updates, and photos of our sweet pup. Francesca is amazing!”
“Amber was great! She is very kind and Toffee had a great day spending time with her. Amber is also very communicative and provided updates and photos/videos throughout the day.”
“Lizzo had a great time at daycare with Sarah & Karl. Got a great walk and lots of playtime. Great communication and kept me up to date! Thank you ?”
“Beste was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive to messages and sent us updates and photos (and a video) of Griffey throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and cares for them. Looking forward to using her services again.”
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From an early age, I learned how to care for them - feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they felt safe and loved. Each dog I’ve had has taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes with building a bond of trust. Because of this lifelong experience, I understand the importance of attention, consistency, and affection when it comes to caring for a dog. I genuinely love spending time with them, whether it’s for a walk, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together and giving them the comfort they need. My background makes me a dependable and loving caregiver, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and well-being would always be my top priority. My partner and I work from home during the week and take about four long walks throughout my day. Both of us being home allows us to give the dogs attention and make sure that they are having fun When pet sitting I use the commands and rules that the dog is familiar with and make sure that the dog is comfortable with me before taking them on a walk.
“Thank you Vicky and Alan for taking such exceptional care of Luca. I appreciate how responsive, detail-oriented, and incredibly kind you both are. Also Tofu is the sweetest pup! Anyone would be lucky to have you care for their fur baby :)”
“We always feel very comfortable when Flora is staying with Melinda. Flora can be a little nervous meeting new people and being somewhere new, but Melinda has been fantastic and is great at communicating updates and keeping Flora active and comfortable.”
“All I can say is wow! So kind, so flexible, really a life saver at the last minute. My puppy clearly had the time of his life when I picked him up. Zero hesitation to leave him with her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
I almost hesitate to leave a review for Kaitlind because I don't want her to become so booked that I can never use her again. She is absolutely fantastic in every way. Seriously, I cannot recommend her highly enough. We have two large dogs. One is young and somewhat rambunctious. The other is older, in diapers and quite scared of new people and routines. We had never left them at anyone else's home before, so when we needed to this time, I was worried. We met with several other sitters and it just didn't click. The dogs were upset and we weren't comfortable with the environment. Then we met Kaitlind. Our afraid-of-everything dog went prancing into her house with her tail wagging, clearly comfortable and at ease. Kaitlind is kind, knowledgeable, flexible, accommodating and an excellent communicator. She is so understanding and really, really good with the dogs. We will never use anyone else until Kaitlind moves away or stops pet sitting. She's fantastic. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
Ada was literally so flexible with our timing and such a great communicator. She responded so fast to my questions and worked with me for a last minute daycare for my dog Otto. She absolutely saved our butts and it looks like Otto had a great time too. Thanks Ada!
Our dogs loved Maxine! She was so great with them- taking them on multiple walks on the beach and paying special attention to our instructions and routine. She was also available on short notice which we were so thankful for! Multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and always responded quickly. We will definitely use Max again!! 🫶🏻
We can't say enough wonderful things about Chia and Jeremy! They took exceptional care of Kaahya and treated her like one of their own. Throughout the day, they made sure she got plenty of pee and poo breaks, took her on a long walk, and even brought her along on adventures to the beach and a coffee shop. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making her experience fun, enriching, and full of attention. One of the things we appreciated most was the constant communication. Chia sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Kaahya happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference. When we picked her up, she was content, well-exercised, and clearly had been showered with love and care. It's not easy leaving your fur-baby with someone else, but Chia & Jeremy made the entire experience effortless and reassuring. We would trust them with Kaahya again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, attentive, reliable pet sitters. Thank you both for going above and beyond—we know Kaahya had an amazing time with you!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Playa del Rey commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
