“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.”

“Lenny and his wife were wonderful! We recently left our two boys, Ozzy and Ringo with them. They were well taken cared of and had a great time with the other pups. Communication was great with either text and photos. Lenny was very accommodating when we had to extend their stay an extra day. For peace of mind when boarding our boys again, we will definitely call Lenny.”

About: With 25 years of dog ownership, I provide unconditional love, attentive care, and the same devotion I would give my own fur babies! 🩷 🥰 I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I’m available weekends and some weekdays! 🩷 I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. I make sure they are fed, played with, and showered with so much love!

About: There is just nothing better than being able to give back to dogs! They do so much for us, so I’m thankful for the opportunity to show them some love and care back. I decided to become a full-time dog-sitter so I could help owners in need of dog care while they experience all that LA has to offer without worrying about their dog's supervision. I was born and raised with a dog in the family, so animals and I have been inseparable. I know that it can be difficult to find quality care for your pooch while you’re away, so I’m here to fulfill that role! Before I moved to California, I had four dogs in the family back home in Miami. We had two Chow's (Luke and Texas), one Schnauzer (Chloe), and one German Shepherd (Storm). In addition to being an owner, I've also volunteered for several local adoption programs here in Cali as well as Miami. Before joining Rover, I was even a k-9 handler for Staples Center/LA Live security! I've also had experience with barn animals on a farm. I got to interact with horses, cows and baby goats there. They were very adventurous yet happy animals with no care in the world much like pups! When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great opportunity to make sure that we are a good fit for one another, plus we get to chat face-to-face about how to make your dog as happy as possible! I love to ask lots of questions so that I can figure out just what makes your pooch tick. Plus, I always just enjoy meeting a pup for the first time! I have no breed preferences, so all are welcome by me. When your pup is under my care, I’ll make sure that both you and your dog feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. To that end, communication is one of my strong suits. I provide owners with daily updates on how their pooch is doing with lots of accompanying photos to show off just how much fun we’re having! I always keep open lines of communication in case there is any need for questions or anything of the sort. For furry friends, I always try to recreate the conditions that they are used to at home. That means adhering as closely as possible to the schedule they have at home and providing them with tons of love! I’m always happy to go the extra mile for you and your pup, so just ask! Since I’m a full time student most of my time revolves around studying and heading to class but that’s about it. I have plenty of time to care for the beloved canines. I live in a spacious apartment so there is no yard. But I do have a court yard that they can run around and play.
“Hasmik is wonderful, she sends me photos everyday to ensure that my dog is happy and exercising. I can tell her and her family loves my dog. I’ve had her dog sit multiple times and trust her.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jessica took really great care of our young border collie. It was our first time boarding him, and she gave us constant updates to help put our minds at ease. We will definitely be asking for her again in the future”
About: I’ve been around and cared for pets since I was young, and I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats and will give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is safe and cared for. I also have experience caring for our Laila, our senior dog, so I’m comfortable with older pets who may need a bit of extra patience, softness, and attention. I’m a full-time homemaker, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your cat. I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and regular visits, and I can give your cat plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your cat can feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their routines, feeding instructions, litter box needs, and personality. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I also have experience caring for our beloved senior dog, Laila, so I understand the extra patience and gentle care older pets may need.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
Negar and Ashkan were amazing! They were very responsive, took great care of Leo, and kept us updated with regular pictures throughout his stay. Leo was happy, well cared for, and came home nice and clean! It was clear he loved staying with them. We really appreciated their attentiveness and communication, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Leo was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
Jen is an absolute God send!!! Our dog adores her and has since she first met Jen who helped us out with some drop in visits when Juno was a puppy. We previously had a not so great experience at a boarding facility that left our pup distressed. This time around we boarded her with Jen and our dog had the time of her life! She was so happy to go with Jen and didn’t even look back at us! Jen kept us updated with videos and pictures and pup looked so happy the entire time. She has plenty of dog beds and blankets and space for pups to play. She is meticulous with following any care instructions, I 10/10 would recommend Jen to care for your pets.
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 ⭐️

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Van Nuys is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 8,347 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 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.
94% 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
