“I loved all of the picture updates so I know Rocky was well taken care of. Rocky had the best time with the other dogs and was so loved by Ceinya. I would trust her to watch Rocky again. So glad I found her.”
“Great family and my pup wanted to stay. I will definitely use your services in the future. Received lots of pictures and my pup felt right at home always with a happy face.”
“Since the pandemic, my dog Finn has had extreme separation anxiety. Our family planned on going on a 5-6 day international trip, and we were extremely nervous about leaving Finn (first time in years). We were able to progressively and safely leave Finn with Doreen for longer periods of time, and I know it must have been hard for them both in the beginning. When Finn is nervous he is either super quiet or very “talkative”. Doreen was able to handle both with care, give Finn his medicine daily, and send us pics once a day while we were gone. She always reassured us that everything was fine, but would also let us know if he was having a hard time (very important that someone can be honest with you, while also letting you feel your dog is going to be okay even if they are not initially happy). We hope Finn’s “new friend” will stay with us for awhile! :D”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from this wonderful couple. They truly went above and beyond—taking him on long walks every day and treating him like one of their own. Our pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. They also shared lots of photos throughout, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitters!”
“Kelly and her family were so kind and welcoming for taking care of Theo. She was super flexible with multiple timing requests and made the whole experience really easy. Theo clearly loved his time with Kelly's family and pups and even tried running with her! Theo's already excited about another stay with Kelly in the future.”
“So thankful for Radhika! She was so good with my girl, who has some personality quirks, and I could tell Banks was really happy while she was there. She took the time to learn Banks's personality. Radhika also gave updates and photos which I really appreciated :)”
“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“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!,”
“Teresa is an amazing dog sitter! She sent plenty of pictures and videos of our dog and was very responsive to messages. We had a lovely meet and greet beforehand and she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable during his stay. Highly recommend her. 11/10!”
“Eric and Allison took such good care of Beau! Their choc lab Moose was the perfect companion for a weekend stay. I know by the pictures sent that Beau got plenty of love from the kids and he even went in the car to pick them up from school! They treated Beau like family and that means a lot to us and our comfort for leaving him for a weekend.”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“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”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”

Doreen was absolutely amazing! This was my first time leaving Ace overnight with someone other than family, and she made the experience completely stress-free. She has the kindest energy and genuinely cares for the pets in her care. It is such a huge relief that I can travel knowing Ace is safe, happy, and receiving the best possible care. I’m so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend, and Ace is already excited for his next visit. Thank you, Doreen! 🐾❤️
It was a pleasure to have my pup (Ruby) stay with Jacqueline and her family. I was some what nervous at first because Ruby has never been left with anyone in the past and this was a 5 night stay. Jacqueline eased my fears and sent me updates. I feel like I can actually plan a vacation or a getaway in the future without worrying!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Vlad & Dorothy! Dolly absolutely fell in love and got so attached, which says everything because I’m very particular about who I trust with her. They were incredibly kind, sweet, attentive, and accommodating from start to finish. Seeing how happy and comfortable she was, made the whole experience so easy for me. I would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone truly caring and dependable!
Natalie is our go to sitter for our dog Lily! She’s always amazing! Lily scratched her eye a few days before our trip, so she was unexpectedly in a cone and needed eye drops every day. Natalie was such a rockstar and took the best care of her, even with the extra work required! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
Thank you Lindsay for taking such good care of Maya on her first staycation with you! Seeing all of the great pictures and videos of her playing and having a great time, I was not sure she would want to come home. It definitely put my mind at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. Highly recommend Lindsay!
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.
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!
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!

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.
95% of sitters in Dana Point 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 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.
<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 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.
