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!

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I know every pup is different, so I try to match their routine and make their stay as stress free and fun as possible, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm mainly a stay at home mom while working remotely a few hours/week so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for doggy day care, boarding, drop-ins and walks! Our home's living area is a bit small so I understand if that does not work for the bigger dogs! But, as long as they don't mind, we don't mind! We have a fenced yard with a grassy area where your dog can relax outside. There is a small doggy door where the smaller dogs can have independant access to the yard. Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old. He is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. He is mellow and prefers to keep to himself. I can separate Leo from your dog if needed! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust, and I do everything I can to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, just let me know!

Diane was great with my dog, who took to her right away. She gave me lots of great updates that really put me at ease, and my dog was in great spirits when I picked her up. Knocked out as soon as we got home, so I’m sure she had plenty of exercise. Thank you!

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!

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.

We were so happy that Holly was able to stay with Angie and her lovely family while we were gone for 5 days. We are picky when it comes to finding the right place for Holly and we lucked out again. I felt like Angie showed as much love and excitement as we do and let Holly have all the same comforts of home, like letting her up on the bed with her son and even got a Thanksgiving dinner treat. Angie has a large yard for big dogs to move around and let her swim in her pool which Holly loves. Boo Radley may be large but he's the sweetest dog around and Holly enjoyed the company. Angie was also very understanding and accommodating with our schedule, which kept changing, and we appreciated that.

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.

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 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 aging pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, 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 💛🐾

We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.

Lori was great in multiple ways. She welcomed Coaster in and made him a part of the pack. We got lots of photos and updates every day, so we knew he was doing well. Large, fenced property for exploring and playing. Our travel plans changed while we were away, and she was flexible enough to extend Coaster's stay by several days, including feeding him her own food after ours ran out. I'm sure he'll love to go back. From our home, she's a little out of the way, but it's more than worth it. We're grateful.

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.

About: For my family and me, caring for dogs isn’t a job—it’s a passion. I naturally build deep connections with my furry guests, filling their days with abundant love, hugs, and long, joyful walks. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to what your dog needs most right now. If you have a young puppy, I provide the structured care, patience, and positive reinforcement training they need to thrive. If you have a senior dog, I bring a gentle touch, ensuring their medical routines, physical limitations, and need for a peaceful rest are fully respected. Your dog will be loved, active, and expertly cared for every single minute. As a stay-at-home homemaker, my schedule is incredibly flexible, which means pet care doesn't just fit into my routine—it becomes the highlight of my day. Since I am at home most of the time, your dog will never be left alone or ignored. From morning walks to afternoon playtime and cozy evening rests, your pup becomes my ultimate companion and best friend. I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they get constant attention, timely meals, and plenty of outdoor time. Having a dog around brings me so much joy, so caring for them feels completely natural and fills my home with happiness. I provide pet care exclusively in my home, which is tailored to be a safe, stress-free haven for your dog. I live in a secure, gated community, offering a quiet and highly protected environment for my daily walks. My house features a spacious, fully fenced backyard, giving your dog plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely under my constant supervision. Safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure that all gates are securely locked at all times, and I never leave dogs unattended outdoors. Inside the home, your pet will have full freedom to lounge and rest in a comfortable, hazard-free space, treated just like a member of my family. I would like to clarify that I will be the sole caretaker and no one else will be assisting me with pet care.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Escondido

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.
