“Savannah is exceptional! I don't trust many people with my baby, but she puts me at ease with the clear love for dogs she has. Love hearing updates on how the day is going and the pictures. I'm thankful to have found her.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
“This is our second time having our dog Coco with Sonia and her daughter and we couldn't be more grateful for all the love and comfort they provided for her. There wasn't a second that we doubted that Coco would be in the utmost care with them. Thank you so much, Sonia. We appreciate you so much!!”
“Shannon was amazing! She really showed interest in taking care of our puppy. Gave great suggestions and sent daily pics and videos. She was knowledgeable and we felt comfortable in her home. I highly recommend Shannon if you need someone to watch your pets! Will definitely reach out to her again when we need her to watch our dog. Thank you again Shannon !”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“First time using this app and leaving Moose overnight elsewhere with a sitter. Maritza, huge thank you for making sure myself and Moose had a great experience by keeping him safe and happy and keeping me updated and sharing pictures of Moose throughout the day. It was evident Moose had fun hanging out with all of the other pups. The yard is spacious and filled with fun for my 50lb pup. And lastly thank you for replying to my request promptly!!”
“Brianna is an excellent sitter. She updated us on our dog everyday, not only through text messages, but with pictures as well. Our dog seemed happy to stay with her. Thank you Brianna, you are awesome!”
“Steven was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. My wife and I always have family house/pet sit when we go out of town, so leaving them with a sitter had us a bit anxious. During the meet and greet, Steven immediately put us at ease with his kindhearted and soft nature which made us confident in his ability to provide excellent care. While we were gone, steven provided updates with pictures every day, and we could see that they were happy, relaxed, and enjoying thier time with him. Steven was also very accommodating as far as drop offs and pick ups. We absolutely plan on entrusting steven with our pups again in the future. Thank you, Steven!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old. Dogs have always been part of my family. I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have a friendly small dog and understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, loving, and comfortable home. I enjoy caring for small dogs, following their routines, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I will treat your pet like one of my own. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I work on Saturdays, but I am available the rest of the week and always make sure every dog receives the care and routine they need. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a clean home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I have a friendly small dog, Tobby, and I carefully introduce dogs to each other. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog like a member of my family. I usually host one family’s pets at a time to provide personalized attention and a calm, stress-free environment.
“Gary was so great!!! He treated our fur babies as if they were his very own and sent us updates and pictures daily. We will definitely be utilizing Gary again in the future and highly recommend him for your pup sitting needs. THANK YOU GARY!!!”
“It is our first time boarding our dog, so we were a bit nervous, but Soonok was amazing! Our dog likes to walk outside, and Soonok brought him out for walks and even updated us with photos and videos. We appreciate Soonok being communicative and for taking great care of our dog. 5 stars for sure!”
“We are so thankful we found Sabrina! She is excellent at communicating and meeting our dogs’ individual needs. Daisy and Gus enjoyed staying at her beautiful home with a fenced in yard. We will definitely call again for our next trip!”
“This was the first time I left my two little furry ones with anyone other than my mom, so needless to say, I was quite nervous. A big part of my concern was because one of my dogs does not do well with most humans or other pets besides his brother. Veronica kindly agreed to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure my dogs were comfortable with her and that it was a good fit both ways. By the end of the meeting, the dog I was most worried about had completely warmed up to her and was rolling onto his back so she could rub his belly! I was so thankful knowing they would be comfortable staying with her for the five days I was away. Veronica sent updates and photos, and they looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for in every picture. I truly believe pets can sense when someone genuinely cares for them, and I could see that with Veronica. I would absolutely recommend Veronica, and if I ever need to leave my pets again, I would feel completely comfortable having them stay with her.”
“Miguel is the best with my Simba! I’ve rebooked him several times & each time Simba always has a great time. Miguel is very responsive & flexible to work with schedules. Thank you so much Miguel! We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Mariah was excellent with my little guy. I received photos and videos during his stay. I picked him up just as happy as I left him. For sure she is now my sitter. Totally recommend. You will be pleased with her service and her warm personality”
“We can’t recommend Ximena enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with our 1-year-old Maltipoo, Daisy. Honestly, sometimes we feel like Daisy prefers Ximena’s home over ours — that’s how happy and comfortable she is there! Ximena and her family treat Daisy like one of their own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, or even including her in family picnics, Daisy is always part of the action and clearly loved. What really sets Ximena apart is the regular updates she sends — pictures and videos that show Daisy having fun and being well cared for. She also is very attentive if there are concerns from us that we would like monitoring like her food intake or energy levels. It gives us such peace of mind, especially since Daisy has some abandonment issues from prior to our adoption. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. Ximena is a true gem!”

Sonia was an incredible caretaker for our precious Donnie! She took extra efforts to reach out to us with photos and videos. It was clear that he was receiving multiple regular walks a day and that Sonia was taking every effort to ensure that he was comfortable and felt at home! Right off the bat, our shy dog took to Sonia and clearly felt comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Sonia and wouldn’t hesitate to request her specifically for any future trips!

I left my little Yorkie, Kash Money with Tamra for 5 days while I was on vacation. Kash has never been boarded before, so I was very nervous about leaving him. He also struggles with anxiety and doesn’t like being alone. Tamra was wonderful. She kept me updated on how he was doing, let me know when he ate, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. In every picture, Kash looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She reassured me that everything was going well, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Kash has special feeding and bathroom instructions, and Tamra was able to accommodate all of his needs without any issues. Most importantly, he was safe, happy, and clearly received plenty of attention and care. I would definitely book with Tamra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
We were nervous to leave our baby with someone other than our parents but he had a great time and Ness sent pictures and let me know he was doing great. By the end of trip I was nervous he wouldn’t want to come home because of how happy he looked with Ness and her dogs. Would definitely use again!
Mario is an incredible dog caretaker and truly one of the best I’ve ever encountered. He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and understands how to work with them in a caring and loving way. I trust him completely with my dog’s care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone experienced, attentive, and compassionate.
Excellent in every way! Took meticulous care of our Charlie. Gave him plenty of love and he came home very happy and excited. If you are looking for someone who will love your animal like you do, Arianna is the one. You can have peace of mind when your pup is in her care. She even responded to our dog’s anxious behavior in a professional, sharp, and protective manner—we couldn’t have chosen better also given this was his first time staying away from us. Her service is above par! Thank you Ari!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Downey on Rover is $43.29 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 10,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Downey. 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.
94% of Downey 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 Downey 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 Downey 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 Downey.
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 Downey 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.
