“My yuki came back so happy and full of energy. They sent me constant updates and photos during her stay. Seemed like she really enjoyed her time there”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Toby in Camille's and Nadege's hands. I was sent a lot of photos, and he seemed to adapt nicely. I will call them again the next time he needs a getaway!”
“Chan and Jibin took great care of my dog and kept me updated on how he was doing the whole weekend. Thank you so much for making sure all of his needs were met”
“Ashton and her husband took wonderful care of Mango while I was on vacation! Ashton was extremely responsive and sent me daily updates. Mango came home healthy and happy. I will absolutely use them again!”
“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. :)”
“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.”
“Stacey was very helpful and welcoming to Tessa and made sure to communicate clearly, provide a safe and calm environment, and maintain her routine. Tessa will be back!”
“Marc and Lori were so wonderful to my Freddie. It was the perfect home away from home. They kept me updated with lots of fun photos, they are extremely responsive and even sent Freddie home with Christmas presents. I would highly recommend!’”
“Nicole takes wonderful care of our dog Ace and she is a delightful person to work with. She is sends many updates on how things were going and she helped do some potty training. Our little guy had a blast! We feel completely comfortable having her watch our baby boy and frankly we are relived to have found her. This was an amazing experience for us as dogs parents and gives us the relief we were looking for. Would recommend for anyone that's looking for boarding, daycare, dog walks etc. Thank you much !”
About: One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated. I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner. I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
“Stephen and David took very good care of Winona and are very professional with dogs. They were so flexible with our schedule and communicative. Winona came back looking refreshed and happy. :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mary is our new go to Rover in LA! My pup spent a week with her and Molly (her adorable 6 year old pup) and had the best time! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was cared for and loved. Mary has an amazing back yard perfect for our pups to play in and run around. Mary was very thorough in taking instructions on feeding, walking, and care schedules and sent pictures and videos throughout. If you’re looking for a great home for your dog while you’re away or just a daycare place for your dog to run around, Mary (and Molly) are it!! Would give 10 stars if I could!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing looking after my Bailey girl! And Kobe (Erin’s pup) is an absolute sweet gem.. I truly appreciated Erin’s super positive and thoughtful attitude before, during and after Bailey’s stay with her. Erin provided me updates multiple times a day letting me know how Bailey is interacting & adjusting to her new environment along with the cutest most adorable photos! She is super flexible and really caring.. this was my very first time leaving Bailey with someone for a few days and I was so happy to be out at ease because of Erin’s professional and caring attention. I am so happy to have found Erin and will sure be a returning client and recommend Erin to anyone that’s in need of dog care. Huge thanks Erin!”
“Andre and Trish were amazing! Super responsive, friendly, and very accommodating even on a fairly last minute request. I know that my pup had a fantastic weekend with them. I will absolutely be a repeat customer - couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“Would give 10 stars if I could! Lenny and his wife are AMAZING! Our dogs, Ozzy and Ringo, have now stayed in their care many times. They are clearly happy and comfortable staying at Lenny’s. This most recent stay for them was a week long as we were away for a soccer tournament. Lenny kept us updated with photos which our children appreciated as they were missing Ozzy and Ringo. Lenny is very knowledgeable about dogs’ needs. Our boys receive the best attention and we are at complete ease knowing they are in such caring hands.”

I had another fantastic boarding with Tue! She is very responsive and sends pictures throughout the day so you can keep up with what your fur baby does day to day. My dog Nori loves staying with Tue and her family. I can feel at ease knowing Nori is safe and being well taken care of while I’m out of town. I highly recommend her!
Yet another successful stay with the wonderful Pina while my wife and I enjoyed two weeks in lovely Italy. This time it felt like Charlie didn’t wanna leave Pina’s place with his new furry little friends. He must’ve had an amazing, relaxing stay. Grazie mille, Pina!
Candy was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my babies and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was great being able to see how they were doing and know they were in good hands. My dogs absolutely love her! I could tell as soon as I picked them up they were in the car looking back at her as she walked into her house. That really says a lot about how comfortable and happy they were with her. I definitely recommend Candy and will absolutely be looking forward to having her take care of my babies again next time! ❤️🐶 Thank you Candy, we really appreciate you. Ash, Phoenix and Family!
Stacey was so much better than we could have ever hoped for! Andy is our psycho rescue that used to nip a lot and just is very fear based and has a lot of anxiety. He’s gotten better but we were worried if anyone would be able to watch him! From the very first few minutes we knew he’d be fine with Stacey! Teddy is the other one and an older dgaf Maltese that just needs food to be happy lol. Thank you Stacey!
Renata is THE BEST! left my baby daschund with her and her husband for 1 month. she kept me updated with videos and pictures everyday, which made me feel so secure and less stressed. i could see that my puppy was having the best time with them, and even her little daughter was cuddling with my dog all day. it’s really good that they have other dogs there as well, so Mona was playing everyday and having so much fun. i’m definitely booking Renata again! so happy i found someone that i trust to leave my baby when i need 🩵 ps: my dog cried when we got home missing her friends haha
I hadn’t left my newer dog with a sitter yet and was nervous about taking a five day trip. But I was comforted in knowing that Katie was caring for my dogs full-time, without other distractions. Both dogs came home happy and healthy! Although they tend to be wary of bigger dogs, they seemed to bond with Fonzie, Katie‘s dog. I will definitely leave them with Katie again when I travel.
Honestly one of the best boarding experiences I’ve had! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with him from day one — he was super personable and friendly, which made drop-off so much easier. Loved getting daily updates, it really put my mind at ease. I actually didn't even worry about my dog's safety the whole trip, which let me actually relax and enjoy my vacation for once lol. Will 100% be booking with them again!
We had a wonderful experience with Alina! Everything went perfectly, and we felt completely at ease leaving Ami in her care while we were away in Sequoia. Ami was happy, relaxed, and settled in very quickly, which is very unusual for her since she normally has a hard time when we leave. It was clear that she felt safe and comfortable. She absolutely adored Alina and her husband, especially her husband! When we picked Ami up, he arrived while we were saying goodbye, and Ami was just as excited to see him as she usually is to see us. That says everything about how loved and well cared for she was. We’re so grateful for the amazing care and would absolutely trust Alina with Ami again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Van Nuys on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,334 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.
