“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!”

“it was an absolute pleasure, leaving our dog with Nicola!!! He was incredibly responsible and caring. The entire time we felt comfortable and were at ease with our dog being looked after.

About: I’ve dedicated years to caring for dogs through rescue, fostering, boarding, and pet sitting. I also run a dog rescue, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments—including shy, fearful, anxious, and behaviorally challenging dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I also have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs and special care requirements, including administering medications and monitoring dogs who need extra attention. I have my own Yorkie, Duchess, who absolutely loves having friends over! She’s used to sharing her space with foster dogs and visiting pups, which makes my home a fun and social environment for dogs who enjoy canine companionship. One of the things my clients especially love is that their dogs can get healthy, appropriate socialization while staying with me. Because I regularly foster dogs, your pup can enjoy companionship and interaction with other dogs when it’s a good fit for their personality. I always prioritize safety and make sure every dog’s individual needs and comfort level come first. And there’s plenty of room to enjoy it! I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, relax, and get some exercise. I also believe you shouldn’t have to wonder how your dog is doing while you’re away. I provide daily photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay, getting comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention. To me, dogs are family—not just pets. When your dog is in my care, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, companionship, and individualized care in a home where dogs are genuinely part of everyday life. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your dog is being cared for as one of my own. I run a foster-based dog rescue, and most of the work is done from my phone, so my daily life genuinely revolves around dogs. I also work in the fashion industry, but typically only 1–3 days per month. On the rare occasions I’m working, I have professional dog trainers I work with who can step in and provide care. This means your dog will never be left without attentive, experienced care or have a lapse in their routine. Most days, I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and individual attention. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can always see how your pup is doing. I have a beautiful, dog-friendly 3,000-square-foot backyard where pups can safely play, explore, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. My Yorkie, Duchess, loves having friends over! I also run a foster-based dog rescue, so I have extensive experience safely introducing and socializing dogs with different personalities and needs. Through my rescue work, I have extensive hands-on experience recognizing when a dog may be uncomfortable, becoming ill, or experiencing a medical issue, and knowing when professional veterinary care is needed. I keep many of the supplies and essentials needed to address common issues on hand and have established relationships with multiple veterinary offices for additional support when needed. Dogs are always supervised, and I can accommodate crating, separation, medication routines, and other individual needs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.
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.
“Great experience. Great place. My dog seemed happy and playful after leaving there. I am sure he had a good time. I received pictures throughout the day of him and what he was doing.”
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 was wonderful taking care of my two dogs over the holiday season! She communicated with me every day, was so patient with my travel delays, and took wonderful care of my two older dogs, one very elderly and blind. I highly recommend her and am so grateful for her help over this very hectic season ?”
“A 100 percent dog and cat loving sweet natured young lady. She entertains, exercises and engages with your dog and communicates extraordinarily well. From the second you meet her she gives you a feeling of confidence and comfort. I will definitely use her again!!! Many thanks, Cassie!”

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 ⭐️

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.
