“Sadie and Ethan took fabulous care of our dog while we were gone. It was the first time we left her behind and we never once worried about her. We were confident she was in great hands even though she had some dietary issues they had to deal with. We can’t thank them enough for loving on her while we were gone! We will definitely use them again!”
About: I’ve been the main caregiver to my JRT, Charlie, for about 7 years, and my pit bull lab, Blu, for about 2 years. With two dogs, trust me, there’s no situation too tough to handle! I am responsible, reliable, and care deeply about my fur babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep your dog out of harm’s way and make sure they have a great time! Pet care is a constant part of my daily routine. I am a college student primarily taking online classes, so the majority of my time is spent at home. I feed my dogs twice daily. We go on walks frequently around the neighborhood. I keep them entertained with their toys and give them lots of attention and petting. I make sure they get several potty breaks throughout the day. I take any precautions necessary to keep them out of trouble and keep them safe.
“Our dog Mimi had the best time. She made friends with both dogs of the household. We got a lot of pictures and updates. We will bring Mimi back again. She felt very much like belonging to the family. Thank you so much!!!”
“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I always felt at ease while I was away. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and messages, which I really appreciated. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We JUST rescued our pup but had already had plans to go out of town and didn’t want to leave him alone. I met Rudy at PetSmart and just talking to him for a few minutes you can immediately tell he knows so much about dogs and caring for them and absolutely loves animals. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in his care and he provided check-ins throughout our little guys stay. He asked us what we were already doing at home so he could follow that lead which I think is so considerate instead of just sticking to his personal routine. I HIGHLY recommend Rudy and will definitely be leaving our pup there for any other trips we have coming up!!”
“Vivianne made us feel extremely comfortable while caring for our dog while out of country for 10 days. She consistently sent videos and pictures showing how much fun he was having and ensured he received the level of attention we would provide. Geno also loved hanging out with her dogs. Thank you Vivianne!”
“We are more than pleased with her services. She kept us updated throughout the days, and our dogs were taken on regular walks. When we picked them up, they were happily tired—which we truly appreciated! We will definitely be booking with Daniela again.”
“Niza provided phenomenal service. My pup Brodie can be super emotional and very energetic. She cuddled with him & was very patient. She treated him like her own. I definitely recommend !!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in El Centro on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Centro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 El Centro 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 El Centro.
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 El Centro 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.
