“Renata was absolutely amazing with our little pup! She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Biggie looked like he was having the time of his life and came back happy and chill. Would absolutely hire Renata again and I plan to! ❤️”
“Camille took the best care of our little girl. She followed all of our instructions and was a great communicator with photos and was responsive to our check-ins. We will definitely ask for her services again. Thank you, Camille!”
“With our hockey schedule we needed to get a pet sitter for Deke. I was a little nervous but it ended up being amazing. Deke was living his best life being loved on & playing with other dogs. They took great care of Deke and was great with communicating and sending pictures and updates. We will definitely be a repeat client. If you’re local and need a sitter, I highly recommend them. You and your dog won’t be disappointed.”
“Our girl had a WONDERFUL time at Amorn and Adam’s home! This was the most at peace I’ve felt while leaving my dog with a sitter. Their communication was amazing and the photos & videos said it all. She was so happy!”
“Lenny and his wife were amazing, very attentive and caring. They have a big yard that is major plus and two dog of their own that a very friendly. I found my go-to dog sitters for sure. Even though we missed our dog very much, I had the peace of mind knowing he is great hand. 👍👍👍”

“I booked Stephen and Dave for 5 days of boarding for my two girls. I received pictures every day and can really tell they were comfortable and got lots of cuddles and treats. The most important thing is knowing your pets are in good hands when you’re away and I definitely felt that way!”
“Sean has watched our dog, Ziggy, multiple times now. Sean is a great guy. He's personable, patient, he sent us pictures and updates while we were out of town. He obviously loves dogs and has the patience to watch our pooch, since she's diabetic and blind, she takes a lot of extra care. Thank you, Sean, we'll be back with Ziggy sooner or later!”
“This is our second time boarding our little angel with Stacey. It was very nice of Stacey to accommodate us on a short notice. We loved waking up to a written update every morning with pictures. We're very comfortable leaving our little honey with Stacey for short- and long-term stays. Stacey seems very considerate and attentive to his needs.”
“We’re so glad we found Ashton and Jay. Very friendly and commutative and our girl Yazzie felt right at home and was super relaxed around them right away. They put this nervous dog mom at ease and Yazzie had a great stay.”
“Thank you for caring for Ellie while I was out of town! Another seamless experience. I always look forward to booking care with Chan Woo and his wife. They are the best!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We were so happy to find Mary to watch our pup. I knew she was going to be great after meeting her and seeing her beautiful fenced in backyard. She made me feel at ease by asking all the right questions to make sure the Macy would be happy. Everything went great! We will definitely use Mary again.”
“Barbara is just the best person to leave your dog with, period. She really cares about her “guests “, and sends lots of updates and wonderful pictures. If she is available just choose her. You will be glad you did.”
“Erin has been fantastic with our senior pup Skittles. This was Skittles' second stay but first overnight stay and even with his associated age-related behavior, Erin was super patient, kind, loving, and kept in touch with us the entire time. Thank you again so much, Erin, for being so great with our fur baby!”
“Annabelle and Ben were outstanding! They communicated clearly throughout the process - meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. During boarding we got lots of photos and updates...sooooo many walks for our girl Mabel. Got along great with their dog and had a blast! They were all wonderful!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and recently lost my second dog, so I definitely miss having a furry friend around! I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention and company throughout the day. I’m best suited for small to medium-sized dogs and have a comfortable, dog-friendly apartment with a park nearby. I’m happy to take them on walks, give them lots of love and attention, and make them feel right at home. I’ll take care of your dog like they’re my own! I work full-time, but I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, take breaks for walks, and keep them company. I’m home most evenings as well, so having a dog here fits very naturally into my routine. I live in a comfortable, quiet apartment and provide a safe, relaxed environment for small to medium-sized dogs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will always follow any instructions you provide.
“My dog had a wonderful time being cared for by Nayira and her family. She made it easy for my husband and I to relax on vacation knowing he had so much love and attention. She also was great communicating when issues came up. Would absolutely recommend booking with Nayira and I’m sure my dog is looking forward to his next stay. :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
James took good care of my girl, spent me photos every day saying “Cassie was good today “. Cassie seemed very comfortable with James who made sure she was safe and that her care was provided as I requested, including a visit to a dog park that matched her needs. James also offered to drop Cassie off at my home if it would be easier as I was returning from the airport. I recommend using James to care for your canine friend.
Kate and Aaron are the most attentive and responsible dog sitters I’ve ever experienced. They needed to administrate medication every 4 hours and I got a list of questions to clarify my instructions and a photo report every time it has been done. On top of that my dog came back happy and tired from all the play time he got there. Couldn’t be happier .. and I’d definitely recommend them as your second home for your pet while you are away. 10 ⭐️
Craig and Naomi were fantastic sitters for our dog, Pikachu! They took great care of her, kept up with regular walks, and sent great photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. They were also incredibly understanding when our flight got canceled and we needed an extension. Highly recommend them—Pikachu can't wait to stay again!
I had the most wonderful experience with Lenny. He has a great attitude and even better communication. My young dog had so much fun and I had constant photo updates while I was gone for three days on a work trip. He was so happy and healthy when I picked him up. I would absolutely use Lenny again.
Mandie was so good with Midnight. She sent me regular picture and video updates during his stay and followed my instructions well. She was also very flexible and agreed to drop midnight off when I returned after an exhausting travel experience. I really appreciated her availability, communication, and willingness to do what I needed. Highly recommend!
Erika and Ken are so amazing - I feel so comfortable leaving Ellie with them. It’s so clear how much they love Ellie and how much Ellie loves them!! They play with her for hours and she snuggles up with them at night for bedtime. I would excitedly book another stay for Ellie with Erika and Ken!
Effie and family took great care of my dog Chopper. Was worried that he was gonna be anxious leaving him as my dog has separation anxiety but my dog enjoyed his time at their home under their care. I greatly appreciated how she kept me updated of how my dog was the whole time I was gone. I felt so relieved to see photos of him so happy while I was out and about.
I had a last minute cancellation from a different Rover sitter before a 2-week trip, and luckily Bonn was available. We did a meet and greet where Bailey seemed comfortable at his place and his dog got along with mine. It was a relief that I was able to find someone who already had great reviews to take of Bailey. During my trip, Bonn sent pictures and updates and kept me updated about Bailey’s feedings. When I went to pick up Bailey, she was happy to see me but it also became apparent that she was so comfortable at Bonn’s - She wasn’t super anxious to get in the car. That’s how I know Bonn and his family took such good care of Bailey. Will definitely reach out again the next time we go out of town!

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.
93% of sitters in Van Nuys 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
