“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Excellent service! My two dogs were cared for with great attention and professionalism. Communication was clear, and I received regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind. Five stars without question!”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Lena is an absolute angel. She took my old girl into her home and I was shocked to see my pup was comfortable and relaxed in mere minutes. I had no doubt that Ruthie was comfy, happy, and loved. Lena has a beautiful home and cared for my pup like she was her own. Thank you tons!”
“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!”
“Brianne 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!”
“Sana and her family were great with our little brat. She kept a good amount of daily updates and was very quick to communicate with any questions we had. Bentley came home happy and content. Thank you family for caring for our old baby.”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“Diana is a lovely woman with a lovely home and yard that are very animal friendly. I left my senior girls with her- first time I've left them at anyone's house other than grandma's-and was never worried at all. I got updates and photos daily, as well as one video. She is very experienced with dogs and followed my 2-page "How to take care" document perfectly. Diana is warm and kind and your pups will be very well taken care of by her.”
“My dog had a great time with Christopher and his kids! I received many pictures and updates showing how happy and comfortable my dog was and I had 100% peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of really well. It's also nice that Christopher only does one dog at a time so that they get his full attention. Totally worth every penny and I will definitely book again next time I need a rover in San Diego!”
“Moon has come to my rescue once again. Always available last minute and so flexible. She goes out of her way to keep me updated, takes my pup on walks/to the lake/park/beach. Dolly comes home better behaved than when I leave her and I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t mind moving in with Moon and Nova 😉 thank you again ❤️”
“Colean was great in taking care of Yuki for the weekend! She constantly send us videos and photos of Yuki having such a fun time playing with other dogs and overall had such a happy time there.”
“Claudia was amazing. I would recommend her to anybody who wants their dog taken care of like they were a special family member. Claudia agreed to take care of my senior poodle at the last minute and was exceptional. She sent frequent pics and updates. My old girl came back happy.”
“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.”

I was so anxious to leave my grumpy old man and he was not happy with me that I did but Tatyanah and Everardo were great with him. They sent me pics and videos and updates and even got him to eat. It gives me so much anxiety to worry about stressing him out at his age but they took great care of him and put me at ease. Grateful for them.
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!
This is the second time our dog has stayed with Kim, and once again we had a wonderful experience. He always comes back happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. Kim is extremely attentive to details and truly cares about the pets she looks after. She sends daily photos and updates, which gives us so much peace of mind while we are away.
Angie was an answer for us. Our dog was able to go in and outside as she desired. Plenty of outside time. We loved Angie for a couple of reasons. She is very professional and you can tell she takes the job seriously yet loved our dog personally. We will be using her to watch our dog. Thanks Angie!
Diane did an amazing job with pepper, she walked her several times a day kept her very happy and gave her lots of love and attention. We knew pepper was in great hands as soon as the daily updates and photos started coming. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone who wants to be at ease when they’re on vacation. We will be using her and ideally her only in the future for our dog sitting needs.
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!
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 ❤️ thank you so much again, Claudia! We will see you soon! 💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Escondido on Rover is $43.71 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,669 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.
