“I just had my first stay and I couldn’t been more happy with how it went. My last Rover sitter ghosted me after been with her for several stays, so I was very hesitant to try Rover again but man did I luck out with Camille. From my very first request, she responded immediately. We then set up a meet & greet. Her home is lovely and clean with a great big, fully fenced in backyard, which was critical for me as my small dog can fit through and under some fences. The neighborhood is great as well. Camille was so warm and kind and my dog seemed to really feel at home there. So, I immediately booked for 6 days. Then came the actual stay. Camille sent photos and videos and her response time was amazing. Bowie adapted well, ate well and seemed very happy there. She even allowed him on her couch and lap and bed. My dog was in heaven. She has great energy and I will definitely book with her again. Thank goodness I found such a great replacement, way better than the one I had before.”
“Once again, Frida had a blast with Amorn and Adam. I can tell these two just have big hearts for dogs. Frida gets treated like the princess she so clearly thinks she is. I also love that she's getting to meet and play with other dogs. Thanks again for your time and care and the great pics and communication. Will see you next time.”
“Renata feels like family. She is gifted with dogs and people- I find it hard to trust people with the care of my baby girl! But Renata helped me feel at ease leaving her for a long trip. My fur baby had a ball and was well loved the whole time. I would recommend Renata for any dog related services! ☺️”
“Ashton sent photos and updates and also picked up and dropped off my little guy for me. Thurgood was happy and loved while I was away! I’ll definitely be booking again and can’t recommend enough!”
“Arizona had a wonderful stay with Kate and Aaron. She settled in quickly and felt comfortable from the very first day. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Really liked those pictures from the back yard playtime. I would definitely book with them again. Arizona loved her time there, and I felt confident leaving her in their spacious home.”
“We’ve used James a few times and he’s always great to work with! He sends daily updates, responds quickly and is easygoing. We’re happy to have someone we can trust to watch our dog. We recommend him and will continue to use his services so long as he’s willing.”
“I will definitely use them again. They treated Frank as they would their own. They provided daily updates and pictures which made me feel so at ease. He looked so happy in every photo. He even went back to Elaine for pets when I picked him up so I know he really liked her. They are truly the best. Frank can’t wait to be babysat again.”
“Thank you again for taking such great care of Louie while we were out of town. We loved the daily pictures and enjoyed seeing Louie walking and playing with the other dogs (he loves to play!!). We’ll be back for sure!”
“Alina was so wonderful. Our regular dogsitter had to cancel on us last minute. Alina came to the rescue and watched our dog for a 4 night stay. We were nervous to leave our senior dog (who has some special needs) with a brand new person. Usually we book an initial one-night stay with a sitter before doing anything more than 24 hours. It turns out we had nothing to be worried about. Alina checked in with us regularly and had very accurate descriptions of how our dog Bedu was settling in. By the end of her stay Bedu was in love. We brought home a very happy pup who was so well looked after, I can happily say she also had a little vacation herself. Alina’s residence is right next door to Petco, which was very convenient for us as we had forgotten to pack some supplies and stopped there on the way.”
“We left our dog with the family overnight. I don’t think he wanted to come home with us. He must have been having to much fun with the family. They sent me lots of pictures and let me know how he was doing. We will defiantly be using Nicole and Michel again.”
“Annabelle and Ben are incredibly kind and professional. I had them watch my dog, Dante, for five days while I went out of town. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog. They welcomed Dante, who is not used to being away from the family, into their home and treated him as if he was their own. They even allowed Dante to sleep in their bedroom and relax on their living room couch. Annabelle and Ben have a large fenced-in yard where Dante was free to hang out and play with their very sweet pup Ranger. Dante also enjoyed fetching softballs from their kids and taking walks around their neighborhood. Annabelle and Ben were incredibly professional throughout the whole process. Annabelle invited me over for a meet and greet before booking and sent pictures daily while I was away. I could tell from the photos that Dante was very well taken care of. Dante came home calm and happy which is a true testament to the expert care that Annabelle and Ben provided. I will definitely use them again. In fact, I will be bringing Dante back in a few weeks!”
“Chan Woo is very timely, responsive and caring. I truly believe my dog was well taken care of and loved during the stay. He sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable leaving my little one with him and I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Jennifer was great! She was extremely open and informative at our meet & greet, and both me and my dog knew immediately she was the right person for my frenchie to spend a mini-vaca with. Jennifer sent pictures and videos every single day which helped in knowing that my dog was being well taken care of while i was gone. She walks the dogs several times per day and makes sure they all get along well. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere to board and definitely intend on using her services again.”
“I highly recommend booking with Mandie S. We were staying in Burbank where pets were not welcome and I am so glad I was able to book at Mandie's. I knew Celeste and Rocky really enjoyed their stay because Mandie sent me videos of them wrestling in the morning, the way they always do at home. Celeste has allergies and Mandie knew just what to do because her Shit-Zu also has allergies. Mandi gave me a bag of special hypo-allergenic dog food to try at home to see if it will help Celeste as much as it helped her dog! Now that is going above and beyond what most sitters would do! Communication was prompt as was drop off and pick up.”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Stacey is an absolute sweetheart & sent me photos every single morning/afternoon. My pup has a super sensitive tummy & she followed the feeding instructions to a T! I’m so grateful she was able to take care of my pup with such short notice! Will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much again Stacey (:”
“Super responsive and sweet to our senior corgi Hershey! Kept us updated daily and informed with how she’s bonding to people and their family dog. We felt so relieved to have found Rachel & Preston, our fur baby was in great hands!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! I cannot say enough good things about our experience. My senior dog was in the best hands for 5 days, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She provided exceptional care, patience, and attention to all his needs from his medication schedule to his feeding schedule . She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant the world to me, and I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and truly cared for. When I picked him up, he looked relaxed and happy, exactly what every dog parent hopes for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
Alina was an incredible sitter for my dog moose! he stayed with her over the july 4th holiday- moose is a rescue with some special needs, including fear of fireworks and other dogs. Alina treated moose with care and compassion, and she gave me honest updates if moose was struggling (without me needing to ask). it is such a relief to have found someone who seriously cares about moose and will go the extra mile to make sure he is cared for and that I know how he is doing!! I will definitely be hiring Alina again, and would recommend her to any dog owner, especially those who might need a little extra support.
Joanna could not have been more kind and accommodating. My Daisy is with me all the time so it takes her awhile to warm up to someone new. Daisy knew a dog lover right off the bat. I saw her instantly bond with Joanna. I received photos all the time, and next time I need boarding, I will contact Joanna.
Sarah was great with our dog Ryder who had some extra separation anxiety while staying with her for the first time and kept her up at night- especially during the 4th of July weekend with fireworks etc. Sarah was communicative about this so we could help problem solve and work towards a solution for the remainder of Ryder’s stay. She was also flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would love to book with her again if she is open to it!
I found my new boarder for my girls. My former boarder was flaky couldn’t fulfill my dates so I turned to Stephen and David and couldn’t be happier. I went on vacation with not a worry on how they were doing back home. I got many updates and pictures and picked up two very content dogs.
I have a hard time boarding or trusting sitters to watch Phoebe (my shy, sometimes fussy, 9 yr old mini doodle) but Sarah let me set up a meet and greet first. I immediately knew Phoebe would be in good hands under Sarah’s care while I needed to be away for two days. Sarah is so warm and friendly. I also loved not having to worry if Phoebe would get along with other dogs, since she only watches one dog at a time. Sarah sent me an update the next morning, with a picture of Phoebe lounging on a chair, which gave me added peace of mind that Phoebe was comfortable in her home too. I would definitely call her again to watch Phoebe in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and responsible sitter. Thank you Sarah!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Van Nuys
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Van Nuys on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,503 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Van Nuys. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Van Nuys sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Van Nuys landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Van Nuys 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 Van Nuys.
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 Van Nuys 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 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.
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.
