Dog Boarding in Los Angeles
The kennel alternative: a real home, not a crate
Los Angeles is built for dogs, but only if you know where to look. Yards are common, but apartments dominate the Westside; hikes are everywhere, but freeway noise and summer heat shape every walk. Petme connects you with verified in-home boarders across the entire LA basin, Silver Lake bungalows, Venice walk-streets, Sherman Oaks ranch homes, Pasadena craftsman houses, so the environment, climate, and routine match what your dog is actually used to.
For owners, Petme charges 0% commission in LA. The rate you agree with the sitter is the rate you pay, no platform surcharge. Cashback is automatic after each completed stay, and you get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs, important coverage in a metro where emergency-vet visits at clinics like VCA West LA or Access Specialty Animal Hospital are otherwise expensive and unpredictable.

FAQ
Common questions about dog boarding in Los Angeles
How much does dog boarding cost in Los Angeles?
LA in-home boarding rates typically range $42-$85 per night. Westside neighborhoods like Venice, Santa Monica, and Brentwood sit at the higher end; the Valley, Eagle Rock, and Highland Park are usually more affordable. With Petme there is no platform fee on top, owners pay 0% commission.
Can I find a dog boarder with a backyard in LA?
Most Petme sitters in Los Angeles list yard access, fully fenced backyards are common in the Valley, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, and Mar Vista. Filter by "yard" or "fenced outdoor space" when searching.
Are there hiking-friendly sitters near Runyon Canyon or Griffith Park?
Yes. Many Petme sitters live close to LA's major dog-friendly trails, Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park, Elysian Park, Kenneth Hahn, and incorporate hikes into the daily routine. Read sitter profiles for specifics on walk routes and hiking experience.
Do LA sitters accept boarding during fire-season or red-flag weather?
Petme sitters monitor local conditions and may pause outdoor exercise during high-heat or red-flag warnings, switching to indoor enrichment and shaded yard time. Sitters in foothill neighborhoods communicate evacuation plans where relevant.
What does the $22,000 Protection Plan cover in Los Angeles?
You get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs. If your dog needs urgent care at a 24-hour clinic like VCA West LA or Access Specialty Animal Hospital during a stay, eligible costs are covered. Full terms in the app.
Can I book a meet-and-greet before the stay?
Yes. Every Petme sitter in Los Angeles offers a free meet-and-greet at their home before the booking starts, so your dog can sniff the place out and you can confirm the fit before committing.
