“Daisy is always happy and healthy after a stay with Lauren, Cody, and their children. She also loves their dog! We've used Lauren and Cody many times and will continue to use them.”
“I was very pleased with the way Nicolette cared for my three boys. She provided updates and pictures throughout their stay. She is very observant and patient. I would highly recommend her as she treats your pets like her own.”
“Jason was great.He kept us updated with photos, and took him for walks which he enjoys. I always felt like he was taken care of. I will definitely use him again.”
“Keith was great. We had boarded Mocha at the vet before, but this was our first time using Rover. Mocha is very shy and usually takes time to warm up to people, but Keith really understood how to handle dogs. He also let her spend time with his own dogs, which helped her feel more comfortable. I believe Mocha had a really good experience, and I would highly recommend Kieth.”
About: I would take amazing care of your pet in my home. I will be able to provide them with the same care they get at home. I work from home, so I have the flexibility in my day to provide walks & playtime when needed. I've had many years of experience caring for dogs (fish and a hamster). When walk time is not needed, they will have full access to my fully fenced in yard. I have also provided care for friends and family when they had to leave town both in their home and in my home. Both of my pets have unfortunately transitioned over the doggie rainbow but my love for fur babies continues. Our first fur baby, Niles, was adopted at 3 months old. He lived a very loving and active life and transitioned in 2020 after 16 1/2 years. We took our second fur baby Nyla in at the age of 6 after her owners no longer wanted her due to having a baby and she was being placed in a shelter. Finding us was the biggest blessing and she was what our family needed. She also lived a very active life, as we used to walk 7 miles a day. She was a German Shepherd/Husky mix and needed to stay mobile. She transitioned in 2025 after 11 1/2 years. With both of our fur pets, we would visit doggie parks which allowed them to play freely. Both of our pets were loved and cared for during the best and not so great days. Your pet will feel as loved as my own were when it comes to eating, playing, walking around the block, or just good ole fashioned cuddle time. I don't mind giving medicine if needed and any other special requests can also be taken care of. I am an entrepreneur working from home, so I'm able to provide care for your pet throughout the day. Our normal routine would include a morning, mid-day (if the temps aren't too hot), and evening walk. They will be able to go in the backyard for play throughout the day in the middle of those walks. I have a fully fenced in yard and your fur baby will be safe. I can also easily crate your fur baby if that is what you prefer. Just know they will be well cared for, and I only take one pet at a time to ensure they're safe. I only take two pets if they are in the same family.
“we left our baby Meryl with Lauren and her sweet daughter while on vacation out of the country. . She and her daughter made Meryl feel welcome, safe, and loved. I recommend her for anytime you need to leave your sweet baby in someone’s care and not have to worry that it won’t be loved.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a pet owner myself and understand how much our pets mean to us. I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and walks to giving senior dogs extra patience, attention, and care. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and any special instructions your pet may need. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️ My Pet-Sitting Availability 🐾 I work full-time but live close to work, which allows me to come home during my lunch break to check on your pets and spend quality time with them. * Monday–Friday: Available for pet care in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, and in the evenings after work. * Overnight Care: Available any night of the week! * Saturday–Sunday: Available for boarding and extended pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your fur babies are in loving, caring hands! I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in keeping a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.
“Alex and Kole are the sweetest! I was very apprehensive about leaving my little guy, but I didn’t really have a choice. They made me feel so at ease with regular updates, and they’re just overall lovely people with a beautiful property for the pups play on. I highly recommend them! My fur baby came home totally happy!”
“Savannah took in my dog on short notice, was very thoughtful to make sure to accommodate for special needs. Cricket looked very relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you Savannah!”
“Marqita was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Niko’s stay, which I really appreciated. Niko clearly enjoyed himself and had a great time. I’ll definitely book with her again! ❤️”
“As always a successful and enjoyable stay with Jessica! She is so good at keeping you updated and making sure your furbaby feels like they are at their second home! Highly recommend!!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t “just dogs”—they’re family and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I provide patient, loving and attentive care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’m happy to send photos and messages during your pup’s stay or visit. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for like family. I’m a SAHM and I run my own business so my day consists of running a few errands, loving up with my 5 furbabies and trying to end world hunger! My yard is not fenced however there’s ample room to run around with a leash, potty breaks and I’m happy to crate as requested. I bring my furbabies to the local fenced in dog park, I’m sure they’d love more company.
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
“Alayja truly exceeded my expectations. Despite the short notice, she provided exceptional care for my dog, treating him as if he were her own. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals put me at ease. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding service and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunshine
Lauren is the best and she is so sweet, she took my dog for daily walks, car rides and gave him special attention! Never seen my for so happy lol, he was actually looked upset when I came to him up lol. Definitely will be rebooking atleast once a week. Highly recommend.
It was absolutely a pleasure to work with Lauren! I left my two dogs with her for a full week and not once did I have to worry about them. She sent plenty of updates and photos and made sure I was informed about their days, behavior, etc. She took such good care of them and they were happy & had a ton of fun. Absolutely will book with Lauren again when needed. Highly recommend!
Lauren is an absolute angel. She responded quickly and kindly to my last minute booking request, and went above and beyond to make sure my doggo was loved while I was away. She sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day without me having to ask. She embraced my dog’s silly tendencies, took him on walks, gave him a bath, and even put on meditation music for him at night. She has a gorgeous backyard that my dog was able to run around in and use to play with his toys/bask in the sun. Unlike typical boarding facilities, not a moment went by where I worried about Prince’s wellbeing. Not only is Lauren an amazing dog-sitter, she is extremely friendly and easy to talk to. I would 100% book with her again and recommend her to a friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sunshine is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sunshine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Sunshine can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sunshine home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sunshine.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sunshine sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 LA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
