“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Marta is the best host! She is very kind and attentive to ease our dog’s separation anxiety. Really appreciate the photo & video updates of the puppies playing and having a great time :)”
“Diane was an excellent dog sitter for our dog Luna. We were a little nervous because we just recently adopted her, she’s 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.”
“All around amazing!! Communication was quick and he was very accommodating to all my and animal’s needs. Caleb was responsive, accommodating, and just so easy to trust. My pups had a great stay as proved through pictures Caleb shared with me throughout their stay. Drop off and pick up were seemless, and I really appreciate all the communication he provided while caring for my animals throughout my trip!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Aidni was wonderful. We got updates every day with photos. I was confident that Truman was being well cared for. I would recommend Aidni to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She communicated well and replied to all texts within minutes!! She loves animals and you can clearly see this.”
“Kona loves staying with Kim and her family! It’s been about a year since Kona last stayed over, but she seemed to recognize Kim and was excited when we dropped her off. We had a last minute overnight trip and thankfully she was available. Thanks again, Kim!”
“Audra and Mark are amazing. They really came through for us/our pups with a last minute emergency. I am so happy to have found them on Rover and will absolutely ask Mark and Audra to watch our beagles again in the future. Not only did they help us out last minute (even prior to us meeting) but I could tell they really cared about our dogs. They sent pics and updates and when we picked Buddy and Bella up, Mark was so communicative about their visit. Our pups seemed very comfortable in their home. Highly recommend”
“Moon 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.”
“Lena took great care of our two dogs in short notice. Her home is beautiful and very dog friendly. She sends a lot of updates which we loved. Our dogs had a lot of fun while staying with her, was tired when they got home. Will definitely book again.”
About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m also experienced in caring for livestock, reptiles, and amphibians! Please let me know if these are part of your family and I am happy to offer care. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I’m actively involved with the Humane Society in Escondido, where I provide enrichment, socialization, and gentle care for animals in need. I understand that some pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, some space, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) I will gladly walk your dog(s) during a drop in visit for no extra charge 💜 Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾
“Olena is a fantastic dog sitter! Quick responses, plenty of photos and videos, and gave us peace of mind for our entire trip. We know Sophia got plenty of love. We picked up a happy and healthy dog and couldn’t be more satisfied!”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was 10. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for taking care of their fur babies while they were gone on trips or vacations. I have also owned a four legged baby ever since I have been on this planet. I will love your baby(s) as much as my own. I will check on your babies first thing in the morning while they are in my care. My husband is also a zookeeper at the Safari Park so I have extra skills and knowledge about animals. Whatever your needs are I will work it into my schedule. It’s a plus if they are friendly with my own fur babies. I can take your pets on long walks and crate them if I need to. If they don't like the crate, I can block them off in the kitchen or whereever you would like. If they are okay with my own fur babies, they will be out and about and I will keep a close on them. Whatever works best for you and your fur baby is what I will do.
“We left our German shepherd/black lab mix, Riley, with brandy for about 10 days as Rileys first stay with brandy and she had a blast. Brandy was always updating us with how Riley was adjusting, eating, and playing, and would always include pictures with the updates. Felt very comfortable dropping her off and will 100% book Brandy again in the future!”
“Kym is amazing! She took great care of our fur babies. One of our dogs has a medical condition and she took excellent care of him. She even gave them Christmas presents. We highly recommend Kym and will trust her with our pets again in the future.”

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 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!
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 $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,636 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.
