10 out of 10 stars for Chan Woo and his wife! During their time with Ellie, she suffered an unexpected injury (through nobody’s fault) and had to go to the vet for immediate care. They sprang into action and communicated with me immediately, keeping me posted on the emergency clinic where they were taking her (the accident happened very early in the morning). I met them at the clinic and decided to have Ellie treated at her usual vet. Jibin generously offered to ride in the back with Ellie, keeping her calm and comfortable. Throughout the rest of the day, Chan Woo and Jibin checked in to ask how Ellie was doing. I was touched by their genuine, heartfelt concern. Chan Woo and his wife did an exceptional job, in a difficult situation, caring for Ellie. I trust them completely to care for my pup! You cannot find more reliable, caring, and professional sitters. Big hugs and gratitude to you both!! ☺️🐶💖

About: We lost our own family dog to a heart condition a few years ago but love to fill that pet void by dog sitting for other family friendly dogs as much as possible! I work from home every day so love to have a calm and friendly dog to keep me company during the day, and give me a reason to get out for walks a few times a day. Additionally, my children LOVE dogs and love getting to know different breeds and personalities. I have a completed fenced front and back yard with plenty of room to run and play, in between walks in the neighborhood. There is a pool but it is fenced within a separate area of the back yard as well.

About: I am often the friend/family member my people call to pet sit! After a major life event, I have much more flexibility and want to help care for animals. Give them as much joy and love as they give me! I have a full time job but I sadly no longer have pets so I’d love to use any free time or flex time to be around all the fur babies! We often dog sit for my sister’s dogs so we are used to having dogs in the home! I had two cats that I miss so much, so I have a great set up for them!

About: $20 OFF FIRST BOOKING. CODE: PLANTB19283 Every guest is fitted with an AirTag during their stay for added safety and peace of mind. I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. I grew up with dogs from infancy, and my first dog was a German Shepherd named Pooch who joined our family when I was still a baby. We grew up together, and he remained my best friend until we were both 14, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Dogs have been a huge part of my life ever since. At 12 years old, I started my own dog walking business and volunteered with local rescues before eventually founding my own nonprofit, Akira Animal Rescue, which focuses on medical dogs and puppies. Growing up, I also cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — including a rescued street dog, a Pomeranian mix, and a Lhasa Apso. Having both large and small dogs throughout my life helped me understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs from an early age. I also have extensive medical experience with dogs through both rescue work and personal experience. My senior dog Akira developed liver disease and seizures later in life, and I helped manage his care and medications until he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Akira inspired my rescue work and deepened my understanding of anxious, reactive, and medically sensitive dogs. When I met him at 7 years old, he struggled with resource guarding and trust issues, but over time he transformed into a calm, loving dog who slept at our feet every night. In December 2023, we adopted two Siberian Husky littermates who are incredibly social, gentle, and loving with other dogs — especially smaller dogs. I also currently have two sweet foster dogs from my rescue who have been in my care long term. They are the only dogs from my rescue in my home — all others are with other fosters. I now provide full-time premium daycare and boarding from my home in Beverly Hills Post Office on a private, gated one-acre property. I previously operated exclusively through referrals and word-of-mouth and am now offering services through Rover. I’m extremely hands-on, attentive, and always present with the dogs in my care. I structure playgroups carefully and can separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or owner preference. Don’t be surprised if your dog learns a new command or trick during their stay. What your dog can expect: • Airtag fitted upon arrival and through duration of care • Supervised play and structured daily routines • 5,000 sq ft indoor space plus large outdoor areas to relax and socialize • Walks and enrichment tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality Why clients choose me: • Unique private property in the city • Experience with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments • Calm, safe, structured environment • Extensive rescue and medical care experience We also have access to additional private space in the Hollywood Hills. Every booking helps support my rescue work ❤️ I am a professional marathon runner and run my own nonprofit animal rescue, so aside from my early morning training runs, I am home throughout the day and fully involved with the dogs in my care. Spending time with dogs and caring for them is truly my passion outside of running. Because I’m very active and hands-on, dogs in my care receive plenty of engagement, playtime, outdoor time, walks, and attention throughout the day. I love playing with them, running around outside with them, and taking walks on the trails in my neighborhood based on each dog’s energy level and needs. My rescue is foster-based, so most of my rescue work is coordinated virtually through fosters and volunteers, which allows me to maintain a consistent daily presence at home with the dogs. Every dog in my care is equipped with an AirTag for enhanced safety and real-time location protection while on property or during outings. I provide a calm, structured environment on a private, gated property with secure outdoor space and comfortable indoor areas for rest and relaxation. Dogs are supervised at all times and thoughtfully grouped based on size, temperament, and energy level. I also offer private or solo care for dogs who prefer a quieter setting.

About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.

About: I’ve spent the last 6 years working closely in animal rescue and fostering dogs, and it’s become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I also grew up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt natural to me. I started out as a volunteer and quickly found how deeply connected I feel to dogs of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs with very different personalities and needs, from shy and shut down to energetic and playful. I stay actively involved in animal welfare work and continue to support nonprofit rescue efforts whenever I can. Being around dogs genuinely brings me a sense of calm and happiness. I’m very patient and intuitive with animals, which helps me build trust even with dogs who are nervous or unsure. I’ve learned how important consistency, routine, and gentle care are in helping dogs feel safe and secure. I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality and what makes them comfortable. More than anything, I just really love dogs and feel grateful to care for them in any way I can.

We needed day care for a couple of days during a trip from the Bay Area to Southern California, and I’m so happy I found Amorn and Adam to look after our senior toy poodle, Jubilee. During her stay, they sent lots of photos on her progress and interactions with other dogs, helping to give me peace of mind that all was fine. They demonstrated such kindness and understanding towards our little one, who shakes nervously in unfamiliar environments. They adapted to her shy-ish ways, let her be and gave her a comfy blanket on which to sit or lie. As quickly as the second day when handing her to Adam, Jubilee didn’t even shake, she was actually quite calm, and that was amazing. I am 110% pleased with their services. Thank you so much Amorn and Adam!

My two pups, a 15-year-old Australian Shepherd and a 3-year-old husky mix, must have had a blast with Peter and his gentle giant pup. Peter sent tons of fun photos and videos, and I really appreciated how communicative he was. My pups were super happy when they were picked up but also wanted to go back and keep playing. Good vibes all around, and I know my pups have many more happy play days ahead with Peter.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Sherman Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sherman Oaks on Rover is $48.84 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,405 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Sherman Oaks. 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 Sherman Oaks 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 7,405 sitters in Sherman Oaks, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
