“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”
“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Jennifer was so great. We had our wedding that weekend and some plans for my dog ended up changing and we needed Jennifer an extra day. She was flexible. She took such great care of my Navi and sent daily pics. She was communicative and very kind. We really appreciated her.”
“Ben was awesome! He took this last minute booking so my dad was able to enjoy the city with us while Dexter, his dog was safe and sound. Ben communicated with us very quickly and accommodated a last minute change of plans. With use again!”

“Thrylos’ stay with Robin was absolutely wonderful. Their home is so cute with a nice backyard that they were able to spend a lot of time in.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillcrest
I had such a great experience with Hernan watching my dog, Ravioli. He took such great care of him, and I could tell Ravioli was genuinely so happy and comfortable while he was there. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Hernan was kind, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. I would absolutely trust him with Ravioli again and highly recommend him!
Phillip & Daniel are a great resource for taking care of my Sam. They provided photos & videos of Sam's experience away from home - and it's obvious he had a positive experience while I was away. I definitely will utilize their services again when it come time for another vacation. Thank you!
Leo had a great time at Ben’s. Ben gave us updates and provided photos. We could tell Leo looked comfortable there. He also was extremely flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick up later than expected. Will definitely be reaching out to have Ben dog sit again.
Finnegan spent 10 nights at David’s place. And as usual Finnegan came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. David and his family have been sitting for Finnegan ever since he was a young pup, and they do a fantastic job treating Finnegan like their own family dog. Finnegan always wags his tail and gets excited when we pull up to David’s place knowing that he will get to hang out with his Bernedoodle buddy “Rex”. David’s place has become Finnegan’s second home. 5 stars!
Jeremy was the absolute best with my high-maintenance husky Lilo. Lilo had bad experience with an initial sitter and Jeremy accepted her as a Drop Off after speaking with me about the situation. He handled the situation with grace and so much care, updating me every day on her well-being and state. My dog experiences separation anxiety and I felt she was truly in the best hands with Jeremy. I highly recommend him for your time away from your pet.
Melissa was so great with our Maisy girl. This was the longest she’s been away from us and Maisy came back calm and well groomed and well fed and happy as can be. We got photo updates every day and we couldn’t have been happier with how maisy was cared for. We will absolutely be reaching out to Melissa anytime we need rover care again.
Dice did an amazing job caring for Finnley and Max while I was away. Neither of them was feeling well, so I was nervous about leaving them, but she was attentive, compassionate, and made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Her updates gave me peace of mind, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Dice!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillcrest on Rover is $49.95 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 4,289 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hillcrest. 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.
95% of Hillcrest 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 Hillcrest 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 Hillcrest 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 Hillcrest.
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 Hillcrest 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.
