“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!!”
“My pup had a great time, Rachel is responsive and sent pictures throughout his stay. She’s was very attentitive to his needs. Thank you for letting him hang out with you. Hope to see you again.”
“Rodney and Christine were so wonderful to work with, we appreciated how quick they were to respond, their updates and care with taking care of our dog, as well as their flexibility. They were so kind and easy to work with and really helped us out with a last minute reservation and some delayed travels. We highly recommend them as people who are kind, reliable and loves animals. We look forward to using them in the future!”
“Nina & Joe did a fantastic job of looking after our two labradors! We received lots of photos and videos while we were away which was very much appreciated. We won't hesitate to bring our babies back again! Highly recommend!!”
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.
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
“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! :)”
“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.”
“This is my first time booking with Rebecca and I’m completely satisfied with her service and how well she catered to my dog. She gave me detailed updates along with pictures on how he’s doing and I was amazed to see how well he was adapting to her and the environment. I would highly recommend her!”
“Shane took such amazing care of my dog, Bruno. I’ve honestly never had someone look after him this well before, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. You can tell he genuinely cares, and Bruno came back happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.”
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.
“Paige was amazing as always. Melanie absolutely adores her. Paige takes care of your pet babies as they are your own . I love the daily updates and the mini photographs are a deeet touch . We will definitely hire Paige again very soon”
“So grateful for Alyssa agreeing to our last minute request. Quick communication and thoroughness throughout. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Alyssa. He came back happy and tired from all the adventures! Would highly recommend!”
“Melissa is amazing. My puppy has been skittish ever since I got her from the shelter and she gets nervous around people and other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Melissa. Melissa is super sweet and dogs know that. My puppy Wednesday loves playing with her cute dogs she has. I love all the updates I get and love how patient Melissa is. Melissa is awesome because I had to book a last minute booking and she was able to take my puppy in. If I could give 10 stars I for sure would. Thank you so much Melissa ❤️❤️”
“Yoshiko was wonderful with our 11lb terrier over the weekend. She stayed with Yoshi for almost 3 days and had the best time playing with her dogs, running around the yard and going on walks. She took great care of her and sent us plenty of updates. We'll definitely be circling back. Thanks again Yoshiko!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Calimesa
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 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 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.
