About: Hi! Long time pet sitter & owner. Recently had my two senior dogs pass over the last 2 years and looking to fill my love of animals without the committment. Looking for dog boarding opportunities for family-friendly dogs of all sizes! Have a pool available for your water dogs as well! :) Hi! I'm currently working from home and available for walks and in-home boarding services for dogs of all sizes. Available to walk, cuddle, play, etc ! Currently do not have any other pets living in the home (our senior dogs passed recently). Have one toddler who loves animals. Your dog must be good with children! Have a fenced in backyard and pool. I only take dogs from the same family so you can be assured your pet will be the only one in my home during its stay!

“Danielle is incredibly kind, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also clearly very comfortable and experienced handling larger dogs. My 140 lb pup was happy and well exercised when I got home. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I'm an LA native who recently moved back from Europe to care for family and am really missing Nala, my Ridgeback mix, back home with relatives. I love dogs and have experience with different breeds and temperaments and miss having a dog companion. I have a flexible schedule for walks and check-ins on the Westside. I am a single mom who is taking care of my sick parents, therefore I can't have a normal job. I can take your dogs on fun walks while my son is in school. I found out through my dog that exercise and love is most important. I will give your dog lots of TLC and take care of him/her to the best of my ability.

About: I’ve had dogs since a very young age, so I have many years experience caring for dogs. For the last 10years I have watched and cared for the family dog while away. I am a dog mom of a 2 year old aussie shepherd who I've dedicated time training and loving since day 1. I run a business from home so my days and hours are very flexible. Allowing me to walk your dog in advance or last minute. I enjoy being outside and exercising meaning I enjoy the walk just as much as your pup. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands. I will always keep your dog on their leash, if going for long walks I will supply water and treats, and we will avoid situations that may overwhelm them. We will work on building trust and creating a safe space for your dog.

About: Throughout my life I have owned cats and dogs. At the moment I only have one cat which is the least amount of pets I've had since I was around 5 years old, so I am craving more animals to care for! In terms of dog care, I work nights as a restaurants server so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, hikes, and play time with your pup! I live in an apartment with no yard so boarding dogs is limited to cat friendly smaller breeds and I will be most helpful for either drop in visits, or care in your home for your baby. Most of my experience is with larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and more high maintenance breeds such as Huskies. However, I love to play and take care of my friends' French bulldogs and mini bully mix! Currently my family dog is a sweet yet strong personality Siberian Husky named Sasha who lives with my parents, and we love to go on hikes or long walks on the beach together whenever we can! My Husky Sasha is a very typical, sensitive husky who taught me a lot of patience and respecting of boundaries when it comes to dogs. Grooming her is a job only my brother and I seem to be able to take on adar requires a lot patience and listening to her cues and I can bring that patience and sensitivity to caring for your pet. Overall, I love caring for pets! It gives me so much joy and purpose and I would love to share that with your fur baby and be a part of their care village! Available upon scheduling 7 days a week, 7AM-4PM I currently only work nights so I am available upon scheduling during the day 7 days a week. I also have flexibility in these hours if later or earlier times may be needed. (Often when I hike I go early in the morning around 630, but that is flexible depending on your schedule). I love to run and hike, so i can bring your dog on some adventures that are sure to stretch their legs and provide some fun! My cat and I play at least 30 minutes a day and I love chasing him around the house to get his legs moving and his heart pumping!

“Mina was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for Luca. She was incredibly respectful of our home, always punctual, and kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Luca warmed up to her almost immediately, and it was obvious he felt comfortable and well cared for. We also have quite a few security measures for getting in and out of our house, and Mina was always thoughtful about letting us know everything was locked up and secure before she left. That attention to detail really meant a lot to us. We would happily book Mina again in a heartbeat if she’s available. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: My name is Maria Teresa and I have spent my entire life around animals. I have always felt they deserve the best! My genuine love for animals goes beyond any human comprehension. I always go above and beyond of what is expected of me because I have pets too and understand that they are our babies. I treat my babies like they are just that, babies! How could you not due to their pure innocent nature? I am a very responsible, loving and caring individual that will always have your pets best interest at heart. I intuitively know what is needed to connect with them, a gift that I discovered at a young age. I also love to laugh and play around so your pet will be highly entertained. You will never need to worry, your pet will be protected and cared for as if you never left. Please let me know how I can help you make your time away from your pet more carefree and manageable. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. MT I'm currently working part time and have a really flexible schedule so I can accommodate different time of the day and week,I can also stay over night as a pet sitter. I provide a safe ,clean and loving environment for all my dogs and cats babies. I stay in a pet friendly building with gates and security so everyone is safe.

About: I grew up in rural upstate New York surrounded by cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m often told that pets gravitate toward me quickly — I like to joke that I must have been a treat in another life! Animals seem to sense my love for them and affectionate nature, and I genuinely love building trust and connecting with them. I don’t just provide care — I truly enjoy spending quality time with pets. Whether that means playtime, walks, belly rubs, brushing, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel happy, engaged, and loved while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering medication, trimming cats’ nails, and have experience with shots and an IV with a cat. I know how important routines are, so I take the time to learn your pet’s specific habits, preferences, and safety practices. I will follow your instructions carefully — from walking etiquette and car safety to feeding routines and household rules. As a detail-oriented and devoted former pet owner myself, I want to give your pet the best care I can. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and to have fun — and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I work from home. Willing to have them here or go to your place. You're welcome to come see my place to know where your pet will be staying. They are the most important thing I worry about if I taking care of someone else's pet. I live in Beachport Village in Playa which is a beautiful community. I have an earthquake kit and a fire ladder for my balcony.

About: I’ve walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve cared for two dogs and a cat of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines to keep pets safe and happy. I’m pretty much free most days since I only work part-time some afternoons. That means I have lots of time to hang out with pets, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just sitting with them while you’re away. I’m flexible and can usually work around your schedule, so if you need help last-minute or regularly, just let me know. I have an apartment with plenty of space for pets to relax and feel comfortable. There’s a fenced yard where they can safely play and explore without any worries. My apartment is in a family neighborhood, which makes for peaceful, low-stress walks nearby, and I’m also really close to a park for longer walks and fresh air. I already keep dog food on hand for my own dog, so feeding is easy to manage. I have a friendly dog who’s used to other animals, and if your dog needs some quiet time, I can crate them safely as well. I always follow each pet’s routine and make sure they get lots of attention.

About: Hi! My name is Siena, and I’m passionate about caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with dogs and have several years of experience walking and pet sitting, both occasionally and full-time. I work in office (Venice) 2-3x per week with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be attentive and consistent throughout the day, whether for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m based in Marina del Rey with easy access to dog-friendly paths, parks, and quiet neighborhoods. I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s routine, whether that’s active outings or relaxed companionship. I’m reliable, caring, detail-oriented, and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, I work hybrid. In office only Tuesday - Thursday, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for Monday, Friday and Weekend daytime visits, afternoon/evening care, and overnights, including weekends. I’m able to structure my day around your pet’s routine. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in their own home environment. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, walks, medications, and any specific behaviors or needs. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment. I also provide regular updates so you feel fully informed and at ease while you’re away!

Julia was prompt, communicative, and genuinely caring with my kitten. I had a last minute trip come up and was so anxious to leave my small kitten for a few days. Julia kindly reassured me that she would take great care of her and she definitely delivered. As a first-time kitten owner, I really appreciated the practical advice she shared and how loving she was with her. She even went above and beyond by offering to clip her nails and bring in my mail while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves and cares for the animals she looks after, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

My cat poncho is not always easy to be with. He can be aggressive at times. Luke blinded with him immediately and enjoyed his rookie personality. His reports were always positive and reassuring when a possible health issue arose. He he let me know about it and was very clear with his inquiry, and he followed my instructions about it instantly and kept monitoring it and when the issue resolved, he let me know right away that everything was OK. I will definitely book Luke anytime. I need it for sitter in the future. It’s very very good with my cat and I enjoyed it very much.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Playa del Rey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Playa del Rey is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $48 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 18,954 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Playa del Rey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Playa del Rey. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
