“Chan was so organized, calm, empathetic, and caring. He was direct and communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. I cannot sing high enough praises, I felt like my dog was in capable and caring hands”
“Cassie is a great sitter and wonderful person! She is so friendly, knowledgeable and amazing to work with. Definitely recommend. First time, and we’ll be back for sure!! Our 60lb Golden Retriever had a blast at her place!”
About: Hi I’m a full time pet sitter. I have been petsitting for the past 8years. I have a lot of time to take the doggies out for walks multiple times a day. I also interact with them, by playing or doing basic commands with them. They are always allowed hop on the couch and join me to cuddle while watching a movie. It’s a cage free environment, unless you are training your baby or prefer for your pup to be in a cage certain times. They will feel right at home, in a comfort place where they are allowed to roam around freely and cuddle up on the couch or the human bed at night. We also reward them with extra belly rubs and delicious treats! I am a full time pet sitter. During the day I do have multiple walks I go out to. My partner Maggie is also home full time to care for the pups while I’m away. Dogs in my home have to be friendly with humans and other dogs. I am only taking small- medium size dogs. Unless I’ve cared for a more relax friendly bigger dog that I know won’t need much space.
About: Since I was a child, I cared for many animals and pets on my family's farm, and in the last 15 years in LA, I've had my own pets and all my neighbors and friends come to me for pet care while they are out of town! I work as a part-time plant science consultant, I am a mom of a 10-year old human and an 11-year old doggy, I have a flexible schedule and love to be active, so pet care fits in nicely! I have a secure and fenced in back yard and many comfortable spaces for dogs all around the house. Cats are not a good fit in our home, unfortunately.
“Pina’s doggie playground is the perfect way to keep my sweet Voyager’s life full and fun! Pina is wonderful with all dogs and I recently needed to have my dog spend the night so I could care for a friend who had surgery. I trust Pina like family and my sweet pup had a blast and a good nights sleep. No one understands dogs better than she does and I know I will have my beloved pet in her capable care every chance I get. Peace of mind is priceless and Pina is truly the best.”
“I had to find a new sitter for my two small dogs recently and was nervous about them adjusting to someone new. Katharine put my mind and ease and made sure my pups were comfortable. They both looked so happy in the pictures she sent me! I will be booking with Katharine again soon.”
“I had to find someone to watch my dog, Coco very last min and Houry changed her schedule for me to take care of my baby so she saved my day! She sent me lots of photos and updates of my baby while I was away so I felt very safe. Thank you Houry for talking good care of Coco! :)”
About: Hi, I'm Bernadette! I have owned dogs my whole life and love the care and support they bring to everyone in their household (because I'll admit, mine are the true rulers of the house). Physical health is a big thing for my pups and I love taking dogs for walks in parks with lots of green space for them to enjoy. I have privately taken care of neighbors puppies before Rover for about 10 years and loved every minute of it. I have trained my family dog and would love to work on some training if that's needed or wanted. Your pup will get 100% attention from me to achieve 100% happiness for them. I'm here to help give your pet some much-needed love, and exercise.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my unparalleled experience and genuine love for dogs, cultivated over 35 years of dedicated care! From raising puppies to caring for elderly dogs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet sitting assignment. My experience allows me to confidently administer medications, provide specialized care, and handle any situation that may arise with patience and compassion. Beyond my skills, Im a huge dog-lover! Ive had dogs since the day I was born and can't imagine life without one! I treat each dog as if they were my own. With me, your beloved dog will not only receive wonderful care, but will also experience the warmth and affection of a true dog lover, making their stay with me an unforgettable and very happy experience :) I work from home, so I'm very flexible. I can watch your dog at my house, take your dog on walks, or house sit at your place during the day. I live in a house. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a pool and grassy areas for your dog to do their business. I also have a Belgian Malinois who is so loving and playful and loves other dogs! I'm also a mom of 9 year old twins who LOVE dogs :)

“I felt the environment was very peaceful for jubilee. I could tell when we were together that she was not anxious. Thank you so much! Universal Studios is one of my families’s favorite places. We will be back nice to have a place for Jubilee!”
“Kieran is one of the kindest and most patient sitters I’ve met. She took incredible care of my dog and helped me understand his behavioral changes when he’s away from me. It wasn’t just dogsitting, it was a learning experience for Louie and me!! Thank you Kieran!!!”
“Mandy did a great job of making my dog, Charlotte, feel comfortable and relaxed in a new situation. Her communication was prompt, professional, and friendly.”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Nuys
Cassie is amazing! She’s looked after my dog Elvis on and off for the last two weeks and has taken such great care of her, sending me loads of lovely photos and videos along the way! She’s also been so accommodating with all my difficult drop-off and pick-up times and is just such a lovely, friendly person to work with! Looking forward to Elvis’s next daycare bookings with Cassie! <3
We had a wonderful experience with Renata! Communication with her was easy and pleasant from the beginning. She was always quick to respond, and kept us updated with photos throughout the day. Johnny seemed very comfortable, had a great time playing with the other dogs, and came back to us happy! We really appreciated how attentive Renata was to his needs. Since he has had leg surgery, it’s important that he doesn’t overexert himself. She made sure he could enjoy playing while also knowing when to slow him down and give him a break. Thank you, Renata, for taking such good care of our baby! We highly recommend her! ❤️
Queenie was an amazing dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was with her. We would definitely book with Queenie again and highly recommend her!
I’ve known Pina for 5 years now. She’s the only Rover sitter I trust. Pina has a beautiful backyard where my dog Roz loves to explore and play with other dogs. I’m always given daily updates with photos. My senior dog, Sid, who passed away a few years ago always loved his time sun bathing in Pina’s backyard. I can’t recommend Pina enough.
Brenda was amazing with Ellie! She took such great care of her and treated her like family. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Brenda is kind, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She was attentive to Ellie’s needs, communicated with me the entire time, and made the whole experience stress-free. I truly appreciated the extra care and affection she gave Ellie. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brenda again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to care for their pet.
Victoria was great! She kindly checked with me ahead of time if it was okay to book another dog that day which was very considerate. She sent lots of cute photos and kept us updated on our dog Rufus throughout the stay at her house. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Van Nuys is $41 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,106 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Van Nuys. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Van Nuys commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 7,106 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
