“Angie was so great with my dog Dexter. He doesn’t like being alone in the boarding places I’ve taken to. At Angie’s he was able to run around, play with other dogs and didn’t have to sleep alone in a crate. Dexter loved his visit. Thanks Angie.”
“Faith was incredible with Bella! Her communication was excellent. She went above and beyond, even buying Bella some greenies because I had run out. I could tell by the photos that Bella had a great time and got lots of cuddles. We will absolutely book with Faith again. Thank you!”
“I had such a wonderful first experience using Rover with Kim G.! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Milo in her care. She sent daily pictures and updates of him enjoying time with her family, her pets, and the other dogs she was watching—and he genuinely looked like he was having a great time! Kim was incredibly caring and attentive, and it was clear that Milo was treated like part of the family while he was there. I also accidentally made a mistake with my booking and needed her to keep Milo an additional day. Kim was extremely flexible and gracious, and we were able to work everything out without a problem. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Milo. He came home happy and well cared for, and I had peace of mind throughout my trip. I will absolutely use Kim again the next time we travel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog. Thank you, Kim, for taking such great care of Milo! ❤️🐾”
“It’s our first time with Erin, and won’t be our last hopefully. She took care of our little chunker like her own. She provided updates and sent photos, which we were so grateful for. There was a little mixed-up on our pick-up time but Erin was very flexible and she accommodated the last minute change. Thank you so much Erin, till the next time 🩷”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Audra & Mark were very prompt to respond to all my questions, they were able to accommodate my dog very quickly when I needed last minute help, he was in very good hands! Thank you so much for helping with Simba! :)”
“Marta and her beautiful family took excellent care of our Yogi. We loved all the pictures and video. Seeing my dog happy and well while I’m away puts my mind and heart at ease. Thanks, Marta!”
“Lori is a natural caretaker. She provided so much love and attention to Zara, my standard poodle. I could see how much fun Zara was having through the photogenic pictures Lori sent each day. Lori's 1-acre of land is such a plus for the dogs to run and play. At the end of the stay, Zara and Lori were both sad to part. That speaks volumes about the wonderful level of care your pet will receive while staying with Lori. Book her now!”
“First time we had left our Puppy, Button. We were nervous. Diane was so friendly and Button was a little apprehensive. She sent several updates and pictures and when we return to pick him up, he was happy and well cared for and loves Diane. Recommendation direct from Button - She took good care of me, played with me and took me for a walk in her stroller. See you soon. Button”
“Alicia and her family were great! I had not left my baby before with anyone and I wasn’t sure what to expect. She sent me lots of updates including cute pictures to leave my mind at ease that he was doing well! I’m so grateful and will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Christopher made the experience very seamless and stress-free! He was great about answering all of my questions, was very responsive, and sent a ton of photos and videos throughout my pup's stay. I can tell my pup had a great time by his attitude when I picked him up. He seemed like he had a fun time at Christopher. Will definitely be returning :)”
About: My family’s dog recently passed and we miss having fun dog energy in our house and a furry friend to play with and take on walks. I work from home so am available to give them lots of love and potty breaks. Please only contact me if your dog is ok with active kids. We look forward to caring for your dog! I work from home so have plenty of time to give your pup love and potty breaks! I typically go on walks during my lunch. I’m available most days during the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard and live close to parks for walks. We have lots of dog toys, beds and supplies here as well but you are welcome to bring your own.
“I am so thankful that I came across Tatyanah and Everardo here. My dog needs to have his bladder manually expressed following a spinal stroke three years ago. They agreed to learn, and they successfully did it for a long trip for me (18 days!) Tristen loves to walk and got daily walks with lots of new friends. He was healthy when I got him back. I got lots of pictures and updates. He also made new dog friends! I wasn’t worried at all during my trip, and it was such a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my dog. Thank you so much!”
“Absolutely incredible! My dog is my whole world and when I needed a last minute sitter, so I could go out of town, Malik had my back. I had never boarded my dog before and I was nervous to leave him behind. Malik was sympathetic to my anxieties and instantly put my worries at ease. Great communication as well as multiple pictures daily, ensured my pup was in great hands. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen him smile so much. My vacation turned into an amazing vacation for my dog as well. I am so grateful for Malik and his pups for showing my Toby the attention and love he deserves.”
“Claudia is just the best! This is the second time I’ve brought my dog to stay with her while we visited family in San Diego and I always plan to have her stay with Claudia every time we’re there! She sent me photos and videos and updates and my Pookie just loves being with her. She is so loving and thoughtful and even helped me catch something I didn’t notice with my Pookie’s ears! Thank you for giving Pookie a loving, welcoming and caring environment to be in when she’s with you! We’ll see you again soon! ❤️”
“When we found ourselves in need of last minute dog care, Mindy and Brian were there with a quick reply that they could help. They provided a warm and caring place for our pup, complete with some dog friends to hang out with. They seem to genuinely enjoy the company of their dogs and made our dog feel right at home. She was a happy girl at pickup. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
“If I could give Jennifer 7/5 stars I would. She took great care of my pup and sent me photos of her nearly every day. She was very easy to reach and extremely accommodating. Our flights home were canceled and Jennifer offered to keep our pup for as long as we needed. She didn’t even ask for extra pay, although I will still leave a generous tip for her services and flexibility. I recommend this woman to anyone and everyone, she was a delight to work with. I will definitely try to come back to her in the future.”

Alicia and her family were great! I had not left my baby before with anyone and I wasn’t sure what to expect. She sent me lots of updates including cute pictures to leave my mind at ease that he was doing well! I’m so grateful and will definitely rebook with her in the future.
Christina came to my rescue! She welcomed my pups into her home on late notice and took great care of them during a short trip. I could see thata and Ollie were comfortable as they are their meals without hesitation - as with most pups, of my dogs aren't feeling safe or anxious they might skip meals or treats. Christina kept me up to date with a few simple messages and I also started to relax and enjoy my time away. Thank you Christine and your family

Faith was amazing! She took care of Cupcake as if she were her own. Cupcake got attached to her so quickly—she was giving her kisses and even put her paws on Faith when it was time for us to take her home. You could tell how comfortable and happy Cupcake was with her. We highly recommend Faith! ☺️
Buffy absolutely loved hanging out with Lena! Lena was extremely accommodating to our last minute request and when I picked up Buffy she didn’t want to leave! Lena was also fantastic in sending pictures of while taking Buffy on a walk and updates as the time went! I would absolutely use Lena again and recommend for anyone who needed a sitter to use.
Colean took such amazing care of my corgi, Koda, for just over a week! I received multiple updates throughout each day, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Colean is incredibly kind and really understands how it feels as a dog parent to leave your fur baby with a sitter. I never once had to worry, and I truly enjoyed all the thoughtful updates and communication. It’s clear Colean genuinely cares about the dogs she watched and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Harvey was well taken care of by Karen & Steve while we were out of town! He seemed happy & healthy, and like his usual self when we went to pick him up-we were not sure was to expect as this was his first time being away from us. Very much appreciate that they only do one family of dogs at a time, and are home most of the day as we work from home and our dog isn’t used to long stints of being alone.
Valeria is such an outstanding dogsitter. I really feel like when she is watching our pups it’s like leaving them with a member of our family. She is so thoughtful and caring for our dogs and she is quick to let us know about anything related to their care. Our pups love Valeria and we do too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Escondido on Rover is $44.4 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 4,683 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Escondido. 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.
96% of Escondido 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 Escondido 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 Escondido 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 Escondido.
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 Escondido 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.
