“Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.”
“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!”
“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She arrived on time, sent me cute photos of the pets, and did everything I asked to be done. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
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.
“Alyssa was great with my two cats, she even made my more timid cat at ease and comfortable. She kept me updated with lots of pics and a detailed report! I will be booking again :)”
“Amy is always a rockstar with my two high maintenance rescue dogs, she's very communicative and a team player to ensure my ladies are well taken care of while I'm away. Knowing she's looking in on my pups really helps alleviate my anxiety while traveling, highly recommend!”
About: I've been a Mom of 3 furry dog tails (2 small street dogs and 1 husky) when i was 18yo till 21yo, at the age of 25 I become a Mom for adopted rescue boy of jack russell and rat terrier mix for lovely 4.5 years; during that time occasionally I would take care of my friend Husky at my house, and another friends Cats at their households. I love being around furry friends, play with them, take them on a very very long walks. My schedule is very flexible. I work at coffee shop 6 hours shifts; usually from 8AM till 2PM, rarely from 2PM till 7PM in Playa del Rey. I'm an early morning bird, so waking up around 6AM it's my normal. At doggies household my first priority is to follow the set of rules and guidance from owners. Walks, food at scheduled time. Making sure that pet is comfy, have enough attention and affection.
About: Since I was very small, I’ve cared for a menagerie of animals, including cats and dogs, reptiles and small critters, even horses and goats. I’ve had a number of special needs animals of my own, and am very well-acquainted with administering medication and accommodating special needs. After recently losing my elderly dog for whom I had been managing severe epilepsy, and my elderly cat to cancer, I’m used to providing near constant care and love, and now find myself with time on my hands and love to spare. I deeply understand the stress of leaving your pet in a stranger’s care, and I’ll make sure you can see that your pet is safe with me. I live at the beach on a great trail network with walkable parks to give your dogs a taste of vacation, whatever their preference, and have a deck in the trees with large floor to ceiling windows full of birds and squirrels to keep your cats entertained. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. Until recently I was caring for an elderly dog with severe epilepsy that required 3x daily medication, and an elderly cat with cancer who required feeding every couple of hours, so I’m accustomed to my days centering around animals’ schedules. Living at the beach means I take walk breaks throughout the day, and I appreciate that animals give me a ready excuse to step away from my computer. I have a deck in the trees that’s great for sunbathing and creature watching, and am 50 yards from the beach and it’s path, as well as a large local park and trail network along the wetlands. I work in the main space of my home, so it’s easy for me to have eyes on your pet at all times. Wherever they are in terms of their needs, I’m happy to meet them there!
“Tara is very receptive and accommodating to my short term requests. I trust her reports and she sends me great pictures of her time spent with my dog. I’m glad that I have her as a dependable Rover”
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.
About: Moving to LA meant leaving my family dogs back home. Missing my four-legged besties led me to the world of pet sitting. My experience ranges from caring for Golden Retrievers to Bengal cats. With love and respect at the forefront, I take care of every pet as if it is one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, playtime, walks, or just being present for companionship. Because of this flexibility, I’m more than willing to adjust and mold my schedule to meet each owner’s specific needs and ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free experience by sticking closely to each pet’s normal routine. I follow all care instructions carefully so pets feel secure and at ease. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything consistent for the pet, which helps reduce anxiety while their owner is away. On top of that, I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making adjustments as needed and ensuring they’re happy and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“So grateful for Brianna checking in on my kitty while I was out of town! My friend last minute wasn’t able to do check-ins and Brianna was so quick to respond and accept on short notice! She checked in during her visits and sent pictures even if my cat was hiding. She went above and beyond with resetting my Furbo so I could see my cat during my trip too. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your cat sitting needs and will absolutely be rebooking with her for future long trips!”
“Sarah was great! You can tell she absolutely adores animals, she fell in love with my babies and even one of mine that can be skid-dish with new people really seemed to enjoy her too! My kitties can be particular about a couple of things and tend to get into things they shouldn’t, and Sarah did everything I asked. What I appreciated the most (outside of her care of my kitties of course) was that she kept my space clean and kept everything exactly as I had left it—something that is really important to me. Sarah respects your space, will love on your babies as if they are her own and handles your instructions thoroughly. So thankful for her, I would absolutely recommend! :)”
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!
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.
“Sarah and Karl are superb sitters. Our little guy Rufus loved both of them. They are kind, knowledgable, respectful, and willing to do last minute visits. We are grateful for them both!”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.
About: Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by my profile. . I'm a dependable, trustworthy animal lover and proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Chance and Kobe. Before them, I rescued a kitten from a shelter who lived to be 18 years old. She had diabetes, so I administered her insulin injections twice a day, every day, for years. . Today, Chance has Addison's disease and corneal edema, so I'm very experienced with administering oral medications, injections, eye drops, and eye ointments (all things he needs now! ❤️). I understand how important it is to follow medication schedules and provide calm, attentive care, especially for pets with medical needs. . I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepherds, which gave me a lot of senior dog experience as I cared for them as they grew old. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, including redirecting behaviors, reading body language, and reinforcing basic training. Because one of my own dogs is reactive, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet's comfort level. I worked with multiple rescues, fostering dogs and cats (a lot of cats). I would rescue them from the euthanasia list at the high-kill shelters, administer meds, as they were always sick, care and foster them until they found their forever home. I also used to manage a doggy day care. . I am a working professional & work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to the pets in my care. While I absolutely adore my dogs, I also miss spending time with cats and would love the opportunity to care for yours or your pups😉! . My pups are family and my BFFs; I do everything I can to give them the happiest, healthiest life possible. I'll care for your pets with that same level of love, patience, and attention, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work remote, which allows a somewhat flexible schedule to do drops-ins and walks. Since I have my own 2 pups, I'm not available for boarding or overnight stays. I would love to follow any instructions you give me so I can care for pet just as you would. Pets love routines and schedules so I will keep to whatever you tell me. I know what it's like to have sitters and want things done a specific way, I'm very good at paying attention to details. I'll send a text when I arrive and when I leave to make sure you know your pet is being cared for.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. From bottle-feeding newborn kittens at the age of six to dog-sitting a senior Labrador recovering from her second hip surgery during my college years, caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I'm currently working part-time as an occupational therapy assistant in attempts to work to live, not live to work. Looking to help families Monday mornings, Tuesday mornings, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends as needed. I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of dogs, both large and small, each with their own unique personalities and specific care needs. Whether it's administering medication, providing slow-paced walks for senior pups, or keeping up with high-energy breeds that need extra exercise, I always tailor my care to fit each dog's individual requirements. You can trust that I will follow and respect any special instructions your fur baby may need, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for while in my care.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Playa del Rey is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Playa del Rey
Very responsive, very detail oriented. Asked lots of great questions at the meet and greet beforehand and at the first drop in. Happily did everything I asked to take care of my two cats with very specific needs. They were comfortable with her quickly and so was I.
Veronica is amazing! She's incredibly kind, caring, and patient. Most importantly, my pups have taken to her so quickly, which is rare because they both have a bit of stranger danger at first. My dog, Chance, has Addison's disease, and I love that Veronica has a vet tech background. She truly understands his medical needs, knows how to help keep his stress levels as low as possible, and can recognize the early signs of stress. It's such a comfort knowing she's fully capable of administering his eye drops and eye ointment, and can even assist me with his hormone injections. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Veronica. Knowing my pups will be in such knowledgeable, loving hands while I'm away gives me complete peace of mind. We already have a few more trips and drop-ins scheduled with her. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
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!
Noa was incredibly responsive, responsible and accommodating. She took loving care of our five little pups at the AirBnB we were renting while we were attending an out of town celebration. She went out of her way to come over for a meet and greet during her lunch break and gave us full confidence that she was the right person to attend to our pups’ needs and give them good love. Highly, highly recommend. 🐾
Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.
Sarah was amazing! I needed someone at the last minute because my husband was assigned mandatory overtime and I wasn't home. She responded promptly and let me know she was available, which was such a relief. During the visit, she kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I knew my dogs were in great hands. I really appreciated her reliability and communication. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!
Kirstin was communicative and did a lot to reassure me that my cat was in safe hands. She was attentive and communicative, and also helped me discover my cat loves watching TV 🤣 Thank you for helping me take care of Bagheera while I was away, and I hope he gets to see you again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Playa del Rey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
