“Eric was absolutely amazing with my fur babies! He sent me multiple pictures everyday so I knew they were always safe and having fun! I highly recommend him and will continue to book with him in the future!”
“Sylvia is an excellent sitter! Max was with her 3 days and she took Max and her dog Poki on walks each day, sent pictures consistently, and made sure Max was comfortable. She also made sure To follow Max’s feeding schedule, which tends to be the tedious part about taking care of him. I really appreciate how loving she was with him and we will definitely be booking with her again! Her Grandson loves animals so there’s another plus! Max recieved constant attention😁 thank you Sylvia!”
“Another great stay for my dog with Marlo. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time. Rebooking shortly for next one. She just loves on your dog like they are her own. She is so great about keeping you updated. It is great to have found her. She is my number 1 choice by far! Okay, really they're is no number 2.”
“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.”
“Laura was highly recommended by my bestfriend who has a dog that Laura had taken cared of. I am so glad she accepted my request despite the short notice. I really felt confident and at ease with leaving Koda to her. She sent me pictures of Koda during his stay. Thank you Laura for giving Koda the best care ❤️”
“Ron has provided overnight care for my two huskies several times. I would deffinitely recommend him caring for both big and small dogs as he is a great pack leader. He provides a great home away from home environment for my fur babies.”
“We use Amanda every time we can! Our dogs even start to wag their tails and get excited when we pull up to our house. Our little boy Otto when we picked him up this time cried when we pulled away from her house🥹😍 we've never seen him do that with anyone but us :) thanks Amanda for treating our babies like we do.”
“Edwin and Jenn are amazing! So responsive and proactive with updates about how Moxi was doing throughout her stay. They have 2 little doggos that are friendly and good companions for Moxi while we’re out of town. I would definitely recommend Edwin and Jenn, and in fact I’ve already booked them again for another stay!”
“I had the pleasure of having Tamra as my dog sitter for my beloved pets, Blacky and Max, and I couldn't have been happier with the care and attention she provided. Tamra went above and beyond in every aspect of her role, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“she is one of the best petsitter in this area. After I used her service, i could tell why she has all the 5 stars ratings! she's very thoughtful, reliable and kind. Moreover, she's really good at taking photos like a professional photographer. she sent me tons of pictures of my dog everyday, so it became a precious memory for me and my dog boarding with her :). Her house is very safe and great yard for dogs to play. The whole family members are so nice. I'm really satisfied with her service so I'm using her again in March :)”
“I was skeptical to get a sitter for our four month puppy after further research we booked with Miguel. I am so glad we found him as he took really good care of outle little guy. He took really good care of him, I look forward to continue booking with him as we are super comfortable with the care he provided to our little guy.”

“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”
“Karina provided a comfortable and loving environment for my two pups. They returned home happy and relaxed. It is a great relief to find someone with Karina's kindness and skills. I have to travel for work a lot and knowing they will be in her care is a great comfort.”

Had a last minute trip back east , Lianna was able to help watch my horse of a puppy Rowdy ! She had so much fun that after scooping her she just been snoring so much her nose is pushing dirt hahaha. I can not recommend her enough or more than leaving a 5 star review ! Your pet will have a blast and you will be kept in the loop with all your fur babies updates ! Thank you again so much and will be back on my next adventure that is not puppy friendly 🫶🫶🫶
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!
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.
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!

As of September 2026, there are 10,276 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.
