“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”

I wouldn't hesitate to book again when Teresa's availability and our travel schedules meet again! ❤”

“Nancita and Joe are great people. They treated our 2 year old pup Zola like family and went above and beyond by providing long walks in the beach, social interactions with people and other dogs, and play time. In addition they made their own home made snacks which were amazing to the fur babies. Lastly, they provided lots of photos and videos to help give you and your family peace of mind that your dog is being truly cared. They are great people, with great energy, and great with dogs.”

Waffles loves Daisy and Rico so much that he doesn't even turn around to say good bye to us after we drop him off, lol. I'm also convinced Waffles only poses with his biggest smile whenever Daisy sends me updates on how he's doing while we're out of town...like pretend to miss us, kid! We love the love that Daisy and her family has for our Waffles, he's so spoiled and given all the love and attention during his time at their home. We know he's in good hands whenever we have a few sleeps away from him when our schedule takes us out of town for weekend getaways. You can never go wrong with bringing your fur babies to Daisy's home, you'll pick up a very happy pup when it's time to pick them up!
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!
Tyler is absolutely fantastic! Our dog, Kacey, has stayed with him twice now, and we couldn't be happier. Just like the other reviews mention, Tyler is incredibly caring, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. Kacey always comes home happy, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she is in such great hands. We highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!
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.
Hailey was literally one of the best dog sitter's I've had! She went above and beyond. I requested her services super last minute and needed multiple accommodations throughout the stay, and she accommodated me no problem. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos throughout the whole stay. My dog can be very anxious and she made him feel super comfortable. She asked me what he was okay with and after permission took him to the beach and he had a blast! Even gave him an extra bath and asked what she could do to help with an ear issue my dog was having. I could say more but this review would be super long. She will definitely be my go to from now on. Thanks again Hailey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Imperial Beach on Rover is $55.5 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 3,755 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Imperial Beach. 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 Imperial Beach 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 Imperial Beach 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 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.
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.
