About: With over 15 years of experience in personalized pup walking and pet sitting, I’ve cared for all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies/dogs for rescue organizations; in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every pup is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your pup’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each individual's unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks and/or a sniffing safari for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries and use positive gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues and keep their environment clean, safe and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates during each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing 2 safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a dog-friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.
“Lilly and Ryan were wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found them. They live in my apartment complex, which made everything so convenient, and they took great care of my little Millie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both! ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for them through every stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, play, and consistency to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication, I’m comfortable meeting each pet’s unique needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience while you’re away. You’ll also receive frequent photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family members is happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I would love the schedule a meet and greet and get your pup familiar with my home. I want this to be as stress free as possible for you. :) I work in real estate and work from home most days with occasional meetings. Weekends are spent on long walks and beach days. I’m happy to bathe dogs after beach trips and always ask permission before any fun field trips. I live in a gated condo community with grassy areas. I have a 1 year old golden doodle who’s playful but can be calm for senior pets. I use cameras when briefly away for added safety and always prioritize a secure, trusted environment for your pet.
“Second time my dog has had daycare with Kathleen and she sent me cute photos and my dog looked happy and relaxed. The Rover Card completion is always appreciated. Looking forward to the next one!”
“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.”
“Jeanne saved me I was being scammed by ppl pretending to be my bank I was able to call bank and stop any activity before they took anything Thank you Jeanne!!! 🙏💖😇”
“5 out 5 stars… From the moment my fur baby, Luna recognized where she was going her body started to vibrate with excitement. Alex, is an incredible dog sitter who not only provided the cutest pictures throughout the day, but he was also able to address a concern I had about Luna with thoughtfulness and intelligence which speaks highly to his training abilities. Luna always returned to me at the end of the day a tired and well balanced pup. For these reasons and so much more, I highly recommend Alex for your dog sitting needs and look forward to rebooking him in the near future.”
“Megan and Joshua were amazing dog sitters! They kept me updated regularly with messages and the cutest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I at work. He was well cared for, and got lots of attention. I really appreciated their communication and care, highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful sitters!”
“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.”
“We are very happy to have found a such a great sitter through Rover. She’s welcomed our dogs into her home and kept us up to date with their progress. Having an anxious dog she made the process less stressful for dog and owner. Thank you!”
“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 ?”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Theresa! They did so many activities and sent me lots of great pictures throughout the day. We will definitely ask Theresa to watch our dog again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of dogs and other pets of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I work part-time for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and can usually be available as long as I receive notice ahead of time. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, going to the park, or helping them burn off energy and stay happy. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care while you’re away. When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all of your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I treat every home with respect and ensure everything stays clean, safe, and exactly how you left it. I will provide fresh water, regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your dog feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to reduce any stress your pet may feel while you’re away by giving them consistent care, affection, and companionship right in their own home. For longer stays I prefer my dog accompany me. She is 1.5 years old, trained, and extremely friendly.
About: My husband and I love dogs! We have had Miss Sabah for 10 years. We have experience dealing with all sorts of events that might occur and special needs. We love being outside and know dogs do too. We have dog sat our friends, neighbors, and family dogs often and I am available all day and flexible. We know younger dogs or certain breeds might need more exercise which we can provide. While some other dogs might need more leisurely walks or swims and we can cater to that too. We can do special food and medicine for your dog, since we understand quality care for your dogs. Your dog will receive lots of pets and belly rubs if that is what they are into. We will take care of your dog like our own since we love all animals. Cheers!
About: I've taken care of people's pets since I was in high school. We recently lost our dog, so we miss having an animal around and would love to care for your pet as if they were our own. I am a teacher and have the summer off and long breaks throughout the year, in which I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I love to walk, so I'd love to take your dog with me. I have a small patio where pets can get some fresh air and watch the birds and squirrels throughout the day.
“I booked with Tracy last minute when my previous sitter unexpectedly canceled and we were so lucky because Tracy is phenomenal and will treat your pet like her own. She took exceptional care of my dog, Winnie and I loved all the updates with photos. I could tell Winnie was having a blast. Winnie really clicked with Tracy and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care provided.”

Everything went great! ✨ He took care of Whisky, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him there. My tired brain after a night shift misread the address, but Alex handled the situation perfectly and came to meet us, which we really appreciated. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Whisky seemed happy 🙂 Thank you again!
Devon is great - would highly recommend! He has a great setup in his back yard and is a very good communicator. My dog is a little scared of daycare but he had an excellent time with Devon and the other dogs at his home. Will definitely work with him again in the future!
Lilly and Ryan were wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found them. They live in my apartment complex, which made everything so convenient, and they took great care of my little Millie. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both! ❤️❤️❤️
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!
Our dog Tyson took an immediate liking to Yunqiao, who wisely suggested that we begin the session by all of us taking a short walk together. When it came time for Yunqiao and Tyson to “peel off,” Tyson gave us a brief backward glance and went willingly with Yunqiao, even though he normally suffers from separation anxiety. During the two days of “doggie daycare,” Yunqiao gave us frequent updates and sent photos and even a video of Tyson, commenting that he was “perfect” and peaceful. This was our first time using Rover.com and also the first time to leave Tyson with a stranger. Yunqiao gave us a helpful orientation to Rover.com. All communications from Yunqiao were clear, precise and cordial; and she was very good about soliciting key information she needed about Tyson to give him the best care. Yunqiao and Rover.com definitely exceeded our expectations. We are very much hoping that we will have the opportunity for Tyson to have more doggie daycare dates with Yunqiao.
I’m very particular about who I trust to watch my senior pup but so happy I found Melinda. Last minute booking for a work event I had in town and she really came through. Gave me updates and photos, made him comfortable in her home and with her pup. If I’m ever in town I’ll gladly book again!
Pamela is an exceptional dog sitter. She is caring, conscientious, and truly thinks of everything to make sure your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. While Johnny stayed with her, she took him on long walks, outings to the park, and gave him plenty of attention and exercise. Her backyard is perfect for dogs, providing a safe and enjoyable space for them to play and explore. Most importantly, Pamela treated Johnny like one of her own, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Pamela to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter. Johnny came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Playa del Rey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Playa del Rey on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,801 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Playa del Rey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
