“Lianna cared for my dog like her own. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout slinky’s visit and was very communicative throughout my dogs stay. Thank you Lianna for taking care of our pup 😁”
About: I love animals and have experience taking care of pets for family and friends. I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am available all week. During these days I can spend quality time with pets, making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and well cared for. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep a clean environment, and give pets attention, patience, and lots of care.
“I felt completely at ease leaving my dog here! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly care for the pets they host. I received regular updates and photos, which made me so comfortable while I was away. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind they gave me—will definitely book again!”
“Excellent care for Rocky as always!!! He's truly happy every single time Savanah cares for him. I feel like he's family too her family. Don't want to leave him anywhere else. Thank you”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter while we were out of town. They took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated their reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust them with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Angela provided exceptional care for Mousse during our ten‑day trip. Since this was the first time we’d ever left him — and given his anxiety and barking — we expected it to be difficult. Instead, Angela handled him with confidence and kindness, and he quickly warmed up to her and her beagle, Kona. Her frequent photo and video updates while we were in Japan made a huge difference for us. She ensured Mousse stayed active, comfortable, and well‑supported with walks, playtime, and dog‑park visits. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Mollie was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever! He had such a great time and it was clear that she truly welcomed him into her family and made him feel right at home. We really appreciated the picture updates while we were away, and they gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, we could tell that he had very little anxiety being away from us, which says a lot about how comfortable and well cared for he was. We’re so grateful to Mollie and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Cooper had a great stay with Debbie and Will! He was there for a week and came back very happy. Debbie communicated well and sent pictures and videos that were fun. Cooper enjoyed playing with their sweet dog Reba, and it was clear they treated him like family.”
“My fur baby has been to Miguel 3 times. The visits were anywhere from about 3-6 days. Every visit, Miguel sends pics or a video of my pup doing what he does best...lounging! My pup even got a chance to watch a FIFA game (well he was lounging of course). The love and care that Miguel gives my fur baby is priceless! It's because of Miguel's clear communication, videos/pics, shaded and CLEAN backyard, vaccinations required and flexibility with drop off and pick up, that I will continue to bring my fur baby to Miguel. I already booked his next visit for a 6 day stay (I think my pup likes Miguel more than me!)”
“Leila was awesome taking care of our dog Mookie! She was friendly and very communicative. Shared lots of pics and video while we were gone. Mookie had a great time playing with her friendly pup also. Thanks so much!”
“Bethany and her family were complete angels for my two pups who have trauma from being attacked by two large dogs. I worry about my dogs a lot, so Bethany provided updates, photos and was quick to respond when I reached out. Best of all: my pups weren't sure that they wanted to come home when I picked them up! They were so happy and well-cared for! I couldn't have asked for more. Bethany and her family are gems and I will be coming back to them.”
About: Your dog will have plenty of company, space, and attention while staying with me. My partner and I both work from home, so someone is around throughout the day. We have a fully fenced backyard for play, potty breaks, and exercise, plus two separate living areas for dogs to have their own space or be separated when needed. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with medications, feeding schedules, routines, and dogs who need extra care or patience. My dog, Hazey Mae, is very friendly and loves having new friends around. I always introduce dogs at their own pace and make sure everyone is comfortable. Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or a little nervous, I’m patient, attentive, and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I work from home, and my partner does too, so there is almost always someone home throughout the day. Having dogs around fits naturally into our routine, and our own dog, Hazey Mae, is already part of our everyday schedule. Dogs get regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I’m available for boarding every day of the week and am happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether they’re active and playful or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs have a secure, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and separate spaces when needed. I introduce dogs slowly, pay attention to their body language, and always supervise them when they’re outside. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care their dog needs. I also make sure doors and gates are secure and take extra care to prevent dogs from getting out. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so communication is important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing while they’re with me.
“Annette (who goes by Sylvia) was absolutely wonderful with our very senior dog (14-15yo) who has dementia and issues with his joints. Our dog is in his last stage of life and we wanted to have a dogsitter with experience who can be attentive to his needs when we are out of town, especially as he needs help with feeds and keeping his balance. Sylvia was wonderful at remembering our dog's little quirks and needs, and is a great communicator and a tenderhearted soul who genuinely loves dogs and takes such good care of them. I would not hesitate to bring our dog back. He came home happy, clean, and full of new memories and friends.”
“Narar was amazing to our Frenchie! She kept him super fresh and happy. Took him on a lot of walks. Sent me a lot of pictures to keep us updated which we loved. Our frenchie really enjoyed playing with her sweet dog Chichi. She is great I highly recommend her!”
“Ozzy had so much fun staying with Ximena and her family. I would recommend her to all and will be coming back when needed. She sent us videos and pictures multiple times a day and knew our pup was in good hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Downey is $63

I was very happy to have Leila take care of my Bella. She sent pics of my pet to let me know that she was doing very well. I really appreciate that she did that as well. I will definitely have her take care of my Bella again. Thank u Leila again me &:Bella appreciate u😉😍
Miguel was wonderful!!! He communicated with us daily and regularly shared pictures and videos, which gave is complete peace of mind. His warm, loving nature made it clear that he really cared for our dogs. They absolutely loved staying with him, it was obvious when we picked them up. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving environment.
Shannon was a lifesaver for accepting my boarding request last minute! I appreciated the updates, photos and videos she sent me of my pup and he looked so happy in every single one. Shannon’s large yard is such a plus as well. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Downey on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 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 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.
