“Karyn has been such a wonderful sitter for our two pups! We’re sadly moving away and will really miss the ease and comfort of having Karyn nearby. She watched our pups for 7 different trips including two stays that were a week long and she was constantly updating us and taking such good care of our babies. 11/10 would recommend Karyn as a dog sitter!!”
“Rachel was awesome!! I took my pup Hazel to her for boarding. She kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of Hazel. I will definitely recommend her and will be returning. Thank you so much Rachel.”
“Vanessa and her family were really great with our dog Millie! She sent regular updates and pictures while we were away. Millie was very happy when I picked her up and she clearly loved the family.”
“Christine and Rodney were awesome! They were able to help at the last minute when our house sitter had an emergency. We don’t board our dog much, so the steady stream of pics and videos really helped us feel comfortable. Will definitely use them again!”
“Kodi took a very good care of our dog Barley. He got lots of pets and cuddles. She provided daily updates and was very responsive to my texts. Barley looked very happy in all the pictures and when we picked him up, it was clear he was well taken care of and had a great time!”
About: I have cared for many kinds of dogs and have been sitting since I was a kid. And I am willing to make accommodations for your pet. I can spend as much time as needed with your pet, I am home most of the time. And will be able to walk and play with them regularly. I treat all pets as they are my own and am open to care instructions (such and walking and feeding preference) every pet is treated with love and respect.
“Michelle was a great sitter who took care of our furry baby kindly and considerately! Our Orson came back happily and we're happy too 😊 We definitely would love to have Michelle take care of our dog again! We highly reccomend Michelle! :)”
“Rodrigo was great! He watched both of our dachshunds, Ollie and Winston, while we were on vacation and took great care of them. He kept us updated throughout the trip with plenty of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend Rodrigo and will be using him again!”
“This was our third year booking with Hugh and Mary over the Christmas holiday. They were wonderful as usual. They sent us lots of pictures and gave our pups lots of love.”
“Cheyenne & her husband are the best! We had zero worries about the pups while on vacation, as we knew they were being loved & cared for as if they were their own. I can’t thank them enough for all that they did. I most definitely will reach out again the next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“Had the immense pleasure of having Paige watch our fur baby (Ollie) for three nights. Paige communicated with me the entire time, sending photos and and reliving us of any worry during Ollie’s stay. Paige also worked with me ahead of Ollie’s stay for a meet & greet, and showed us where Ollie would be sleeping and was also able to see the sweet interaction of both Ollie and her dog while in the back yard. Paige had everything ready for us for pickup time, and even gifted us two adorable printed photos of our Ollie.”
About: I have always grown up and cared for dogs my whole life, all sizes and different breeds. About 9 years ago I really went into depth with researching and studying how I can give the dogs around me a long healthy life, I worked at a pet store for 8 years as well and dived into the whole health of a pet. I am the family dog dietitian, babysitter, vet tech, trainer, and bather, photographer, and birthday thrower. I will care for your dog as my own, and will become one of its favorite humans. I am currently working full time, till the end of the year, but I am available after 4:30pm during the week to assist you with any needs. I am completely available Friday-Sunday! At the end of the year I will be dedicating myself to pets! I have a fenced front yard with grass, and a fenced backyard with cement. I have one small fur baby who is super friendly. I can always gate him in his room if your pup needs space or vise versa. Unless preferred otherwise, dogs are able to free roam the house. Beds and couches in home welcome pets. Kitchen and bathroom are wood floors, while the remainder of the home has carpet. I have a 2 story home both ends of the stairs are gated as well.
“Kristina was great. Daily walks and various other activities for my pup, plus loads of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Would 100% get her again to take care of my furbaby!”
“Kimberly was a great host to our pups. She cared for them very well during the week they stayed. They were so happy they did not want to leave her side. Thank you for everything!”
“Fabulous! Leaving Baloo with Shakira was the best decision I could have made!! She took him in like family would. I got pictures of him throughout the weekend with such a big doggie smile that I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave!! It looks like he had a great weekend with her. Baloo is a big, giant mastiff pit bull marshmallow, but a lot of people are intimidated by his size. Not her! She let him snuggle right up to her. I DEFINITELY recommend her.”
“A wonderful stay as usual! Patti is quick to respond and always available while she is watching my Rosie. She takes special attention to care for all of Rosie's needs and treats her like she is one of her own dogs. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her because I know Rosie will be safe, loved and well taken care-of.”
“Melissa was great! She took pics everyday for me and it made me feel at ease on my trip. She made sure they had both indoor and outdoor time. I will definitely use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Calimesa
Rachel was fantastic with Daisy. Her and her family are so sweet and took great care of my golden retriever. She had other dogs for my dog to socialize with which was much needed. Rachel was friendly and had great communication. She even sent daily pictures of what my pup was doing for peace of mind. Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend anyone to her for their pet sitting needs!
Melanie was very wholesome and thoughtful to our pups! Our pups are not easy to handle sometimes but understood exactly what they needed and embraced their personalities. She and her family were so welcoming to us and our pups. We will be using her for as long as time allows!
We absolutely loved Heather! She was so caring and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Romo with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we could tell he was being loved and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands! Romo clearly loved spending time with her family and the other doggies, too—he told us without telling us 😉 We’re so happy we found Heather and would absolutely book with her again!
Nina and Joe have been our go-to Rover sitters for Kimber for the past several years, and I couldn't recommend them more. Knowing Kimber is genuinely loved, well cared for, and treated like part of their family gives me complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We're so grateful to have found them and wouldn't trust anyone else with our girl!
Rachel and her daughter are truly wonderful, kind, and caring people. They took care of Lior for almost a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They treated him like their own dog, and it was clear that Lior felt loved and happy with them. He absolutely adored them. They were incredibly thoughtful — they even bought him toys and spent time playing with him. He came home happy and is still enjoying the toys they gave him. I feel very grateful to have found Rachel and her daughter. I completely trust them, and I will 100% choose Rachel again for my next trip. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone truly loving and responsible to care for their dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Calimesa is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $71 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 1,487 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Calimesa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Calimesa 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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Calimesa 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.
