“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“I had complete confidence in Trevor’s ability to care for my dog, Arthur! He sent me a note and a picture of my little man every day. It was extremely comforting to know he was in safe hands! Thank you, Trevor!”
“We are so happy that we found Corrine! After visiting with her at our meet and greet, we felt very confident she would be an excellent caregiver for our dog. We left Ollie there for 5 nights and Corrine was good at communicating with pics and updates during his stay. When we picked him up, he was calm and relaxed. Thanks Corrine, see you next time.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Alan and Joe took extraordinary care of Daisy. They were very patient and accommodating. Joe took great photos and videos of her and Alan even slept on the couch overnight with her when she wouldn’t sleep in the bedroom. Many thanks to both of them!! Can’t recommend them highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lynn did a great job with Yogi! She has a nice place with a great patio where Yogi enjoyed hanging out with her dog, Lucy. Lynn gave Yogi some exercise with walks and visiting the dog park. She was also great about sending updates and pictures regularly. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”
“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”

“Cassandra was an amazing host for my little dog for three days! She sent regular updates and photos, was quick to respond, and even went out and bought an extra can of his favorite flavor of food when it ran out and he wasn't eating the other flavors. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Dropped my dog off for the week for a Disney trip I was last minute but they were able to accommodate him still they were great with him and made sure he had plenty of time to play and hangout with the other dogs and kids and made sure to send pictures and keep me updated on the trip. I 1000% recommend them for any trips as they truly know how to take care of your pet like it’s there own.”
“Our family was in a bind with nowhere else to go, but Nazgul truly was an angel and an answered prayer. We had a graduation ceremony for two of our daughters just down the way at Pechanga but we also had a puppy who'd had an unplanned surgery the day prior. Nazgul helped accommodate our last minute requests with top notch service so that we could enjoy this momentous occasion, free of any concern about the wellbeing of our puppy. Nazgul provided updates throughout his stay and was extremely flexible from beginning to end. It was our first experience with Rover and it far exceeded any of our expectations. Wow. Thank you so much Nazgul. 🥹”
“Carl took amazing care of my pup!! He was very professional and had a lovely home. My dog got along well with his pups, and he played with her as if she was one of his own. I fully intend to use Carl again in the future!”
“Savannah was AWESOME! She made sure my son was taken care of, and made sure that he was comfortable, happy and having the best time of his life. When I needed to book an extra day short notice she was able to watch him for one day just amazing.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Idyllwild
We boarded our dog with Mary Kay for 6 days while we traveled out of state. Our dog seemed really happy while she was there, and was very calm when we brought her home. Mary Kay provided a peaceful environment along with lots of walks. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for our upcoming travel.
10/10 experience with Anna and Tyler. Their communication and care was great. They also sent regular photo and video updates and I know she was treated like one of their own. Maple loved their great backyard as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience for our Maple, highly recommend this couple!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Idyllwild is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $91 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Idyllwild can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Idyllwild home-away-from-home, 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 Idyllwild.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Idyllwild 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 , 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 .
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.
