“Tian was an excellent dog sitter for our dog Tutu. Very attentive to her, scheduling was easy, as well as communication. Provided us with a thorough report card following the visit which was great. Will definitely be back.”
“Shardae was really a pro in taking care of our precious Tasha! There’s a magic on her that even my dog is so much attached to me and my husband she just went straight to Shardae without looking on us. She feels like it’s going to be great day even without us. When we pick her up I know she had a fantastic day because she just sit quietly in the car and nap. So calm and happy baby. Thank you Shardae! You’ll be our go to when we go back to LA area.”
“I am so grateful for Kim! Had last minute birthday plans and needed next day care. Kim was very sweet and took very good care of my fur babies! I definitely recommend and will be back!”
About: I have helped animals in nearby shelters mostly cats. I have a deep love for animals and I feel most happy whenever I am around them and get to care for them. I’m currently available to provide pet care to pets on most days.If my schedule ever changes I will be sure to let pet owners know. I always make sure to put away any cable or cover outlets and use toys and play with pets so they don't hurt themselves. I always keep an eye out on what they are doing as well for their safety.
“Very happy with Max and Dex’s stay! 🐾💕 They looked sooo happy the whole time and got tons of love, attention, and playtime 😊 It made me feel so at ease knowing they were being cared for so sweetly. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

Every morning begins with a slow, relaxed breakfast, a neighborhood walk, and feeding. Because of Andres’s medical background, we are highly experienced and comfortable administering any necessary medications or supplements exactly on schedule.

“very nice place to keep your dog with a lovely dog sitter and very nice family. Big yard with plenty of room for the dog to roam. The host is very communicative and responsible.”
“Sheila was so kind and inviting with our shy guy and communicative from the start. She sent pics and updates throughout the entire stay. Pickles gets a little bit of separation anxiety and Sheila gave him the calm care that he needs. She was extremely understanding when we were running late - we would love for Sheila to watch Pickles again in the future! :)”
About: Hi, I’m Derick! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been actively helping care for pets through our family’s pet care business. I assist with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in our home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. Because there is almost always someone home, dogs receive plenty of supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and helping pets feel relaxed and at home while their families are away. My goal is simple: to treat every dog like they’re part of the family and give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. One thing that makes our home special is that someone is always home! I’m home full time this summer, both of my parents are retired, and my youngest sibling is 15 and home for the summer as well. Whether it’s me or another member of my family, your pup will always have company, plenty of love, and attentive care. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family🏠🐾❤️ Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are at the heart of everything we do. ❤️ Someone is always home whether it’s me or one of my family members so your dog will always have loving company and attentive care. We closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, mealtimes, and rest to make sure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor fun, and we’re lucky to live right next to a park for enjoyable walks and extra sniffing adventures! On hot days, we keep everyone cool inside our home, with plenty of breaks outside as needed. We treat every dog like they’re part of our family, giving them lots of love, attention, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable throughout their stay. 🏡🐾💕
About: I love puppies and they love me! I have a calming energy that dogs gravitate toward & the love they show me, always brightens my day. I've never owned my own dog, but I've had so many puppy nieces & nephews that I've cared for throughout life. In my photos you'll see the day a random Husky(?) showed up to my door & we just hung out all day. I'm comfortable around dogs of all kinds. Looking forward to connecting. My time is quite flexible! I work from home as a full time creative entrepreneur. I’m up early & take daily walks (sometimes multiple a day). I live by great parks near Inglewood & can be active with a playful pup. I live on the ground level of my apartment building & have space for a crate or bed for the dog's comfort. We get great sunlight & normally keep doors open to create indoor/outdoor feel. Im also open to dog sitting in your home & am wonderful with following care instructions.
About: I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to understand their personality and routine so they always feel safe and happy. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs who need extra care. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or meds, I make sure they get the love and attention they deserve — and I always keep you updated with photos and messages! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine — I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals every day. I plan my schedule around walks, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, or evening cuddles, I make sure their needs always come first. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I look forward to every single day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely. I give them plenty of love, playtime, and attention while respecting your home and privacy. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, safe, and cozy space where they can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they get daily exercise, cuddles, and lots of affection — just like they would with you. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and stress-free no matter where they are.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
Maria was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, kept me updated with messages and photos, and took great care of Prince. She made the whole process so easy, and I could tell he was comfortable. I truly appreciate her kindness and would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️
As always, they took amazing care of Letty. She got along great with their dog and looked completely comfortable and happy during her stay. When I picked her up, she was calm, relaxed, and clearly felt at home. In fact, she seemed so comfortable that she didn't seem worried at all when I arrived, which tells me she was receiving lots of love and attention. It's never easy leaving your dog with someone else, especially a senior dog, but I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Letty came back happy, warm, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the kindness and attention they gave her and would absolutely trust them with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl!
Emily was great! We did a meet and greet with her dog ahead of the first stay to make sure they could get along. She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day and most importantly, our dog seems like he had a great time hanging out with her dog and cat!
Grateful for Maritza!! She was able to accommodate my last min daycare request and did a wonderful job taking care of my red headed husky girl Koda. Maritza provided friendly messages and update pics throughout the day. I will definitely contact her for services again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - West Athens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in West Athens on Rover is $37.74 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 West Athens 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
