Doggy Day Care in Sylmar

“We were visiting LA and required a last minute sitter due to the hot weather. Edwin and his family were quick to respond and accepted Java last minute! Edwin and his family were so great! We got the updates that we wanted throughout the day and Java looked like she was having fun. Java was spoiled during her stay and even received some homemade dinner. We would definitely recommend you leave your pet with them and we would if we are back in the area.”

“Laura and Brian to the rescue again! Needed a daycare for my larger pup, his FIRST TIME EVER without his big/little bro Poofy. His second time arriving, Bowzer knew a mile away - basically after the exit that he was EXCITED! He loves his home at his new friends. And we are so grateful!”

About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my life and will probably be getting another one or two within the next year. My main option on here is dog boarding but, depending on the dog boarding schedule, I or somebody else on my team could also be open to do drop ins, house sitting, or walks, especially for those who have already used our boarding services. Please ask about these additional services after a confirmed boarding session. I’m in the middle of taking a few years off from teaching high school because A) Who couldn’t use a break from that? and B) I am focusing on building up a short-term rental business (Airbnb mostly). As an Airbnb host I spend a lot of time at home and have found that one of my favorite things to do is play with dogs in the yard (especially, when there’s more than one of them here at the same time!) and take them on trips to the park. I love dogs and am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and all of the instructions you leave will be followed to keep your little buddy happy & safe! I am home most of the day and when I do leave it's usually only for an hour or two at a time. Most of what I do at home (working on a computer, household chores, yard work) I do in the presence of whatever dogs happen to be staying at that time. One limitation that I do try to stick to is to avoid scheduling drop-offs or pickups on Sundays before 10:00 am. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't give me the option to block off those times without blocking out the entire day so adding this note here is the only way to give you a heads up (hopefully, you read this before booking). I have a fenced yard and usually board 2 or 3 dogs at a time so that they have playmates. If ever I leave the house, dogs are left inside. Dogs that stay here must be up to date on shots as well as on a flea-prevention medication.

“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”

About: Hello! My name is Jen, and I share this Rover account with my partner, Jamie. He also has his own Rover account if you’d like to check his references. We work together on all Rover jobs, so if you book with us, both of us will attend the meet and greet. We believe having both of us present is beneficial, especially if your pet needs round-the-clock care. I hold a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management and have experience as an animal trainer. Previously, I worked at the Animal Actors show at Universal Studios, where I cared for over 40 dogs of various breeds and sizes, as well as many cats. I also have experience working in vet clinics and am skilled in administering medication. My true passion lies in wildlife conservation, and I recently completed a master's degree in Conservation Wildlife at Miami University. Currently, I work at the Los Angeles Zoo, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the well-being of animals worldwide. Note: Our pricing is negotiable. If you have a pet that is particularly easy to care for, or if your pet has special needs, we can discuss the details and adjust the pricing accordingly. Feel free to reach out so we can find a solution that works for both you and your pet. We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your pet! I work full time S-Wed. Jamie works gigs in the evenings or nighttime as needed. We live together in a house with a yard if you do decide to do a boarding with us. If you decide to do a sitting we both stay at the house. He is also on Rover, please ask for a link to his profile if interested. We have a large house with fenced yard. I can crate the dogs if that is something that is preferred, and I am a professional animal trainer. Someone will be with your pet 24/7. We have a dog small/medium size dog in the house named Emmy, as well as a small dog named Ramon. Therefore for boardings your dogs must get along with others.

“Natalie took great care of my puppy, Coraline - sending frequent updates which helped my anxiety of leaving her with a sitter for the first time.”

Alyssa H.

“Excellent pet setting for our puppy. Regularly updates with photos and professional. Will book again”

Emma A.

“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”

Becky J.

“Such a sweet family! It takes a while for My Baby Bailey to warm up to people, but Bailey immediately adored them! For that, I know Bailey truly enjoyed staying with Alexis, Melissa & their baby! She was very attentive to him and sent me tons of photos and videos to make me feel at ease. They are such a warm loving, caring family that took such amazing care of my baby while I was away for work! I would highly recommend them!”

Melody V.

“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”

Maria Benitez

“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”

About: I have been petsitting since I was about 12 years old. My whole street relied on me, every dog on that street would get excited just by the sight. I was in charge of, feeding, playing with them, bathing them, and walking them. Some people just wanted them to have comfort, especially the older ones. I have dealt with many puppies and senior dogs too, all different sizes. I love pet sitting, and since I have moved, it has been much harder to find clientele. This is something I would love to continue and pursue as a future. I am also a wrangler at Baldwin Lake Stables, meaning the upkeep for the horses relies on me. The feeding, cleaning, hard labor , etc. I also take care of the bulls, goats, rabbits, etc. I am very experienced when it comes to the upkeep of our babies. You can trust your furbabies will be loved and cared for just as you would. I currently do not have a job, I will always make sure your babies are getting as much time and love as you would give. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.

“White took my Lily all day and gave her the very best care. I feel so good knowing Lily is with someone she loves and feels safe with. More grateful than I can put into words. 🙏♥️”

“Maria and her daughter as so incredibly sweet, kind and supportive. It was my first visit & they made me feel very comfortable and gave me updates. Communication was great!”

Dynasty D.

“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”

Robin Lorraine A.

“It is such a relief to find a reliable and fun dog Sitter who understands my anxious and introvert fur baby! Thank you so much Max to taking such good care of Bobby!!”

Ani

“Armando took great care of our dog, Mancha, with very little advanced notice. He was very flexible with timing and even agreed to a last minute evening meet and greet so our dog could warm up to him before spending the whole day at his place. The next morning, he was excited for his drop off at Armando’s. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog! We are excited to rebook in the future if need be.”

Gaia B.

“Very pleased with Karn's doggy daycare service. My dog seemed to be in good spirits when I picked him up, and he passed out at home immediately, which makes me think he had a good time. Karn shared video of my dog in their large backyard with plenty of room to wander and socialize with the other dogs. I would definitely be happy to use Karn again to babysit my dog.”

About: I’m an animal rights activist, a vegan, and an environmentalist, so I’m always fighting for the animals, wild or domestic! We had all sorts of animals while I was growing up, including cats and dogs. We started with cats and two beagles, and after the beagles' passing, we adopted the sweetest schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) on the planet! Long story short, after my sister and I moved out, my parents ended up with two more dogs and trusted only one person (other than my sister) to look after all three dogs when they (my folks) would go on trips: me. We continued to have cats and other animals during that time. My parents are down to two dogs now, but that's been one of my jobs for the last several years, in addition to looking after friends' dogs. I've also volunteered at a couple of shelters as a cat socializer and cat/kitten foster parent. During that time, I completed a "Fear Free Shelter" course and understand the signs of distressed dogs and cats and how to reduce their stress (one spoiler: classical music for dogs). I’m also certified in canine and feline first aid/CPR. Anyway, I love doing drop-in visits and dog walking and am happy to offer my home as a daycare. I love seeing animals in the comfort of their own homes and letting dogs explore my backyard. I'm currently funemployed, so I have time to do drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare most days. Dogs staying with me for the day would have access to our fenced backyard. If you need only dog-walking or drop-in sittings, then I can usually start after 10a. For doggy daycare, I’ll be sure to provide the stability and boundaries your fur baby needs. Your dog is welcome on the couch during the day, and we have a heated and air conditioned home during the hot and cold months. If I'm in your home, such as for drop-in visits, I'll use Rover Cards to let you know when I arrive, document how things went while I was there (with photos), and let you know when I head out. It would also help me tremendously if you could provide written instructions on Rover ahead of time. My goal is to provide all of the comfort your honey needs while you’re away. (I've been that anxious pet guardian myself, so I get it!)

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since childhood! I love small and large breeds and have experience with puppies and elderly dogs. All are loved in my home. Hey! I'm Nicole — a North Hollywood homeowner with a big fenced yard, lots of outdoor space, and a maltipoo puppy named Arff who'll happily show your doggy around. I also have a six year old who will happily spend time with your dog if they enjoy children! I work from home and all dogs are genuinely part of the family here, meaning your dog sleeps inside, hangs out with us, and gets real attention — not crate time. I keep things small on purpose: I host up to two guest dogs at a time so I can give full attention to your pet. Whether your dog is a puppy figuring things out or a senior who just wants a soft couch and some sunshine, they'll be comfortable here. We can also accommodate dogs that need a little extra space and a quiet setting. Just let us know what would be best!
