“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”


“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!”


About: We implement comprehensive safety measures to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment for all dogs. For daycare or boarding, dogs must meet vaccinations and temperament requirements to ensure they are suitable for off-leash play. Inside the play yards, we closely supervise interactions and intervene when necessary, with staff trained to recognize signs of stress. Our facility features secure fencing, multiple gates, and doors to prevent escapes. Additionally, we sanitize with veterinary-grade disinfectant multiple times daily and use air-filtration systems, including UV disinfection technology, to remove harmful bacteria and viruses.

“Melissa & Christopher are exceptional! Our dogs loved their house and they sent video & photos all week playing with them and snuggling them! The dogs had so much fun in their big back yard and they took them on lots of walks. They both work from home so the dogs really enjoyed the 24/7 company. We can’t wait to book with them again!”


“Renata is the best!! My pup always has an incredible time with the other doggies and she is ready to hop out the window when we head over there. She takes amazing care of her always!!”


“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!”

“Nayira was super kind and accommodating. Great communication and the boys seemed really comfortable during their stay. They got along well with Nayiras friendly Malinois, Karma.”


“Chelsey was great with our little Luna! Not only did she step in last minute when another rover cancelled but she was extremely communicative and sweet! They have a great yard for the dogs to run around and lots of toys to play with. We will definitely be calling on Chelsey in the future.”


“Excellent fit! Cody loves visiting Karen, and she clearly takes great care & pride in taking care of pets. Always a little worried he won't want to come back home with us, ha ha! Really happy with relationship; THANK YOU, KAREN!”


“We were lucky enough to have James be available to take care of Legend while my family and I were on a 7-day cruise. He provided us updates and some pics. We knew Legend was in good hands. We will definitely use James again.”

About: As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored—I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level—from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. What truly sets me apart is how much I love and respect animals. I tailor my care to match each pet parent's specific preferences, making sure both the dog and their family feel fully supported and at ease. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, sending regular updates, or reading your dog’s signals, I approach every dog as if they were my own. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I only care for one dog at a time for both daycare and home boarding, unless they’re from the same household. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and ensure a peaceful, stress-free environment tailored to their needs. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind—whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

“King adores Emma. Emma has taken care of king twice now and Emma adores king. He was well cared for.Snd she lives within a mile or two near me. King and I love his other river pet sitter as well. So now I have two people who keep my dog loved, safe, etc and I can depend on. I do recommend Emma!”


“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!”

“Lenny is an absolute gem! I found myself in a pinch, needing a last-minute sitter for my dog, and I couldn’t risk leaving her with just anyone. I had complete faith in Lenny’s ability to take good care of her during her recovery from a torn muscle. He truly saved the day because I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with my fur baby. As a repeat customer, I can confidently say that my dog always comes home happy and healthy. This particular stay was a bit different since she was recovering, but she still loves lounging in their spacious backyard. I also appreciate the thoughtfully designed living room, which serves as a cozy spot for her to relax and unwind after her outdoor adventures. Lenny is an exceptional host who will genuinely love and care for your fur babies. You won’t be disappointed with their services; they truly go above and beyond to ensure your dog’s well-being.”


“Eric is not just a sitter, she is Auntie Erica to my 3.5 year old high energy, curious, spastic German Shorthaired Pointer. I had to make a new profile but she has been sitting for my pup numerous times over the past year, and she has been a lifesaver to me. My pup has separation anxiety so I order for me to do anything social, he needs a sitter. Auntie Erica is no ordinary sitter- she is like Disneyland for dogs- she gives every dog she watches so much love, attention, and the adventures! Dog puzzles, one on one play time, dog parks or hikes, exercise, stimulation, endless ball fetches, cuddles, love and so much more. She is a “responsible adult” and I feel absolutely confident that LeeRoy is safe and happy with her (I mention this because not all sitters are “adults” and can handle any situation maturely). I have zero guilt leaving LeeRoy in her care, because honestly she gives him the time and energy that I cannot always provide due to my busy work schedule. She is a staple in his life and truly contributes so much to his wellbeing and happiness. She goes above and beyond every time to enrich her pup’s lives. She cares so much about each pup, which is why I consider her an auntie vs just a sitter. There are not enough words to express how amazing she is, and I am forever grateful to have found her. She is a true gem, a unicorn, LeeRoy’s favorite play partner and Auntie.”



“Caroline and her family did an outstanding job of caring for my girl. I think she even got a bath while they had her because she smelled nice when I picked her up. They had to keep her an extra day because of travel issues on my end and Caroline was so understanding. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her caring for my dog. I’ll definitely book with her again.”


“Emma and Jacob are wonderful! They were so loving with our dog and very attentive to her needs. We got pictures each day with an update. It was nice to be able to relax on our trip and trust that they were taking fantastic care of Pearl. She had SO MUCH fun with them. Highly recommended! Thank you”

Dog Boarding FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Only Rover provides comprehensive Van Nuys dog boarding options that meet your dog's unique needs. Anxious or special needs dogs who prefer a 1:1 environment are a good fit for in-home dog boarding, while energetic pups who benefit from socialization and activity are a good fit for dog boarding facilities.
Typically, dog boarding sitters on Rover respond in under an hour, so you should be matched with the perfect sitter for you and your dog in no time!
Experience can vary widely from sitter to sitter, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing sitters available in Van Nuys.
Rover makes it easy to find Van Nuys dog boarding sitters to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star sitters you can find on Rover will welcome your dog into their home when you’re away—whether it’s just for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding is great for:
- Dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies
- Pet parents looking for a safe, loving alternative to a kennel
- Dogs who’d love to socialize with their sitter’s pets
