“I I had a last minute meeting that I had to go out of town for and Tara responded immediately. When I met her and her darling little Shih Tzu I felt immediately at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the day and communicated that Luna was doing great would absolutely recommend leaving your precious pup with Tara.”
“Kelleen and her girls were SO good to my little guy, Finnegan! He came home pooped from playing and getting snuggled on all night. Kelleen was very quick to respond and gave the right amount of updates. I will definitely be taking Finnegan back for a “sleepover” with the girlies sometime soon. 🤗”
About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Cienya provided for my dog. From the start she she was responsive, professional, and showed genuine love for animals. She kept me updated and sent me messages and photos which put my mind at ease. Vienna went above and beyond and I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her services! Tanya”
“I absolutely loved having my dog stay with Jenn and Ian! They were very communicative and quick to respond with any of my questions or concerns. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone I know.”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”

“Kelly was above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was out. She was so good that my dog cried when she left. Wow, thanks so much for taking care of him. Highly recommend her.”
“Leslie was absolutely amazing. The sweetest person on earth, she was so patient and so willing to do everything for my dog. My dog was very anxious and was having a little bit of the bubble guts for this trip and she was so willing to take care of him even with the issues at hand. I would definitely recommend her to anybody staying in the area and need somebody to watch their dog for a couple of days or even just for a day.”
“Doreen was the puppy step mom we hoped for. She was so caring and sent update photos throughout the time he was there. Will definitely be sending him over again soon for more cuddles and playtime fun.”
“My “girls” had a great time with Maria and Robert, I could tell by the pics and video they sent me. After meeting them I felt completely confident leaving my “girls” with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thanks Maria and Robert!,”
“Eric and Allison truly put the love in taking care of dogs — we had our 12 year-old dog Oreo with them for more than a week and he had a fabulous time. I can’t think both Allison and Eric for all their kind attention, if you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further! We will definitely be calling upon them again should we need to!”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”

Neil took great care of our dog, Ted while we were away. He was friendly, welcoming, and very communicative throughout the stay. We appreciated the updates and could tell Ted was well cared for and comfortable. We would happily book with Neil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Matthew did a fantastic job watching our boxer, Duke, for a one-day boarding stay. Duke can be energetic and loves attention, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable. Matthew was also incredibly accommodating with pickup and drop-off, which made the entire experience easy and stress-free for us. We truly appreciated Matthew’s reliability, flexibility, and genuine care for our dog. We would absolutely trust him with Duke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, professional, and caring dog sitter.
James did a great job with my dog Stella while I had family in town. Stella had so much fun with James and Brody that she was always excited to see them again. He was flexible with all the last minute plans and kept me up to date with the fun they were having through the day. I always returned home to a happy and tired puppy, which was awesome!
DeeDee had the best time at Angela’s! Before confirming our booing, DeeDee and I met with Angela to see her home and get to know one another. I was quickly put at ease and super comfortable and confident that DeeDee would have a great stay. Angela picked DeeDee up and dropped her off which made my travel logistics a little easier. While with Angela, DeeDee was treated like a member of the family, and that’s a calculus what I want my pup to experience when she’s not with her own family. I’m looking forward to DeeDee staying with Angela again—peace of mind while I’m away!
Super flexible and attentive… took Conan on several long walks with their dog Maverick, with whom Conan got along very well and had a weekend full of playing. Patient with Conan adapting to their environment and to their dog and very communicative… kept me posted about Conan and sent many photos. Thank you so much!
As always, another great stay with Mariia!! She is our go to for watching our little girl when we go out of town. Love knowing that our little one is always happy, taken care of, and well-loved. When she’s with Mariia, it’s one thing we don’t have to worry about when traveling. So nice!!
This was the first time leaving our 9 month old Beagle, so we were a little nervous. Cassandra was brilliant with him from the moment we met, to the updates we got when we were away to picking him up. He got plenty of walk and cuddles, and he truly settled into her home. Would not hesitate to use Cassandra again.
This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕
Mandy took amazing care of my dog, Milo, while I was traveling for the holidays. She sent adorable photos and updates while I was gone which made me smile and put me at ease to enjoy my travels. She is really great at communication so it was very easy to schedule drop-off and pick up times. Milo overlapped with another dog and Mandy was very thoughtful about it and made sure both owners were ok with this. I 100% recommend her, I’ll look forward to booking her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dana Point on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,003 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dana Point. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Dana Point sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dana Point landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dana Point home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Dana Point.
Tip: 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 Dana Point 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
