âAngie has such a great home and I think Otis would move there if he could! He found his new bestie in Charlie Brown and had an absolute blast. We felt so comforted knowing he was in the best hands.â

âI 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 wasnât 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!â


âDiane was an excellent dog sitter for our dog Luna. We were a little nervous because we just recently adopted her, sheâs a little shy around new people, and and this was the first time we boarded her, but Diane was amazing, sent lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell Luna was very comfortable and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Diane.â

âMindy and Brian took excellent care of my puppy! I enjoyed getting pictures of him and they were quick to respond when I checked in on him. They were very easygoing about timing. My puppy loved playing with their dogs, sleeping in their bed and getting lots of love and attention. Would absolutely book with them again.â

âMarta and her kids are such great dog family! My dog had great experiences staying with them. Marta sent me pictures everyday which makes me feel so happy seeing my dog playing well. Iâd love to send my dog back there without any hesitation!â

âKym was super and I will definitely use her again next time I am out of town. I got regular updates with photos. Having that communication ensured I was at ease while on my trip! Mylo seemed to have had a great time! He has been a sweet and happy boy since I picked him up. And thank you for Mylo's goody bag, Kym. He loves his new toys and has been playing with them all day:)â

âWe needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!â

âChris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boyâs endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.â


âErin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erinâs home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters weâve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. âşď¸đŤśđźđžâ


âBrianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!â

âMoon exceeded our expectations. We have a fragile senior dog. She was willing to have him stay at her house when we travelled back East for Thanksgiving. She sent us photos. My kids were instrumental in helping us select Moon. They just knew she was the perfect fit and had the best environment for him. He had such a pleasant stay with her that he even wanted stay with her when it came time to pick him up. We would not think twice about using Moon in the future.â

About: Iâve spent the last 8 years working for a prominent national pet supplies retailer and as such come equipped with a wealth of professional pet care knowledge (and of course love!) for animals of all types! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule (in office Tuesdays through Thursdays). I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and as such have the best availability on those days and weekend days. However I am open to staying in homes throughout the week and have the option to bring pets with me to the office if thatâs something that interests you and works best for everyone involved. I work best with detailed care instructions but I have cared for all types of animals and am able to problem solve or figure out whatâs needed in any circumstance when instructions are not provided or needed. I make the firm commitment to love your pet as if they were my own and provide that same level of care!

âShe was great with my dog. She always replied to my message right away since I booked with her. Also I could tell my dog had good time with her during the stay from my dogâs pictures she sent. I would definitely choose her for next time.â

âFaith 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!â

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

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 watchingâand 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 couldnât 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! â¤ď¸đž

Faith was amazing! She took care of Cupcake as if she were her own. Cupcake got attached to her so quicklyâshe 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! âşď¸

Evan and Tatyanah took great care of our senior Aussie, Sidney! He came home happy, healthy and well fed! They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We got updates and pictures frequently while we were gone. So glad that we have found people that we can trust to leave Sidney with!

Buffy absolutely loved hanging out with Lena! Lena was extremely accommodating to our last minute request and when I picked up Buffy she didnât 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. Itâs 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 isnât used to long stints of being alone.

Valeria is such an outstanding dogsitter. I really feel like when she is watching our pups itâs 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!

Claudia is the absolute best!!! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my pup this weekend, and I would have been lost without her! I will never take my dog to be with anyone else. I know my Pookie is loved and cared for and Claudia is such a lovely human â¤ď¸ thank you so much again, Claudia! We will see you soon! đ

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 dogâs 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 dogâs 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 youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
