“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one.

I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”

About: 18 years of trusted, loving care for cats and dogs of all difference ages, & personalities, from zoomies to couch potatoes I love them all I work during the week so I won’t be home until 4 in the afternoon but my weekends are available for your furry friends anytime! I have pets of my own who are super friendly and eager to make new friends. I’m an animal lover your pet is family here.
“Sophia was able to book my two dogs for the weekend with short notice. She communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent photos of our dogs and they looked like they were having a great time. Flexible drop off and pick up times were helpful.”
About: I have a big backyard for the dogs run and play. Have a senior dog so I have good experience with providing medicines if needed. I am mostly home and so I can easily take my pets for bathroom breaks regularly. My neighborhood is easily walkable so I can also take the pets on good long walks. I walk the animals on a leash as we have a large 1 acre backyard and it is not fully enclosed. Typically I play with pets inside the home but I do live nearby a large dog park so they can run around and play there.
“I am very happy to have found Melinda on such short notice, she sent me pictures everyday while I was on vacation and it really help put my mind at ease knowing my little dog was in good hands. ”
“Pamela is so sweet my dog had such a good time playing with her dog. Sent updates and pictures twice daily as asked. It was like leaving my dog with my best friend 🧡”
About: Hi, I'm Deeanna! I'm a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet-care experience, and I truly believe our pets are family. I'm a patient, attentive, and detail-oriented pet sitter who takes the time to understand each animal's individual personality, routine, and needs. Some pets are immediately outgoing and playful, while others need a little more time to feel comfortable with someone new. I never rush that process—I let pets come to me at their own pace and give them the patience, reassurance, and attention they need. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I'm comfortable following detailed instructions so your pet's routine stays as familiar as possible while you're away. Whether that means meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll make sure they receive thoughtful and dependable care. I'm also a proud cat mom to Kylo and Leia, my two babies. Being a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your animals. That's why communication is a big part of my service. I provide photo and message updates with my bookings, so you'll be able to see how your pet is doing and know they're safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, and getting to know the unique personalities of the animals I care for. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I'd be happy to meet you and your pets and learn what makes them happiest! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and plan my availability carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Because every booking is different, I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and the timing that works best for their needs. I value reliability and communication, and I'll make sure we have a clear plan before your booking begins. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet parent's instructions carefully and take the time to understand your pet's normal routine before you leave. I pay close attention to details such as feeding schedules, medications or special instructions when applicable, bathroom routines, behavior, and anything else you want me to know. I understand that every pet is different, so I never assume that one approach works for everyone. Shy pets may need extra patience, energetic pets may need more play and activity, and senior or more independent pets may simply appreciate a calm, dependable presence. I'll make sure your pets have access to fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and the care and attention they need while you're away. I also provide photo and message updates, so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe and cared for, and for you to have peace of mind while you're away. ❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial Beach
Daisy and her family took the best care of Sophia we could ever ask for. They always take extra precautions and communicate often. We felt at ease knowing Sophia was in loving hands the whole time. We can’t thank them enough and will continue to book with them whenever we have to travel!
Ty is the best pet sitter you can ever asked for! We left our Boxer with him for 3 weeks and we are very happy with our decision. Ty is very passionate about what he does and he is genuinely an animal lover. He cares about every dog that he looks after and gives his best attention to every dog, every day. Ty is also a professional dog trainer so he understands how dogs should be handled when they are playing, socializing and sleeping together, which is the best type of dog sitting that I want for my pet. My dog received great care and came home happy and healthy. Thanks, Ty! 😊
We had an amazing experience with Priscilla and Pascual! They took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a very happy pup! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!
I would highly recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs. My 16 yr old senior Shih Tzu really enjoyed her stay. I could see the playfulness in my dog the moment I dropped her off and felt completely relaxed throughout the entire process. I also really appreciated Clara's responsiveness and communication. Thank you!
Our pups are like our children.We had a death in the family and needed care immediately.Teresa is absolutely amazing. She sent pictures daily and assured the boys were taken care of while we were away. It felt good knowing she was loving, reliable, trustworthy, communicative and helpful no matter what came up.The boys were returned better than before. I would definitely recommend her with your fur babies and be using her again for the care of my babies.
Erika was truly caring and loving towards my sweet pups. She communicated well and made me feel very comfortable about the pups being away from my husband and I. She’s top notch. I’m so grateful that I trusted her. Moving forward I would definitely have the pups be in her care again.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Imperial Beach 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 Imperial Beach 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 Imperial Beach.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Imperial Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Imperial Beach 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
