“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. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”

“Diana took care of our girl Maya very well and she sent daily updates with pictures. Maya seemed very happy in her place as seen in the pictures. We would surely go back there and we highly recommend Diana to be a sitter.”


“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!”

“Thank you Katia for taking care of Macey. I loved the pictures and videos you sent. I high recommend Katia to care for your pet too. I will also take Macey to her when/if she is for my next vacation. 💜”

“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”

“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”

“John & Francesca were so fantastic with our young 60 lb pittie! They were so accommodating to his routine and quirks. We received pics and updates of his staycation. Highly recommended!!!!”

“We met Teresa and immediately got good vibes. Shortly after booking a boarding stay, we learned we had to go out of town less than 48 hours after that trip. She was very accommodating and gladly accepted our pup for a second stay. Her yard is very shaded with tall fences and perfect for our 1.5 year old, 60 llb pitty to romp around. She took him on adventures and walks every day, gave him an opportunity to play in a kiddie pool and cared for him like her own. She was very communicative and sent great pics every day like a proud auntie. Teresa followed our instructions/requests and learned our pups quirks quickly. I am beyond grateful to find someone to care for and love my pup the way she does!”

“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”

About: I've been working toward becoming a veterinarian for years, starting with caring for pets in my community. I helped run the medical team at a local animal shelter as a teenager where I learned to give vaccines, care for senior animals, and comfort scared or aggressive pets and further continued that career with various organizations working at a veterinary technician in Santa Barbara, Yuma Arizona, Maui, Kauai, Palm Springs, Coachella valley, Coalinga, Visalia and Fresno. I can handle larger dogs comfortably as well as all kinds of behaviors and breeds. I have a lot of experience with being active and medically aware/trained and with that I am able to fulfill and maintain a positive healthy walk or caretaking environment with your pet. I’m passionate, patient, and always looking to learn more so I can give every animal the best care possible. Pet care is a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with the medical team at a local animal shelter and emergency hospital routinely caring for pets in my community. Since I’m still in school and working toward becoming a vet, I’m most available during early mornings, weekends, or after school hours and weekends I love learning from every experience and giving animals the care they deserve. When caring for my male husky, Meeko, and my snake at home, I focus on safety, trust, and creating a suitable environment for both. For Meeko, safety comes first.I make sure the yard is secure with a strong fence, and when walking, I keep him on a leash to avoid any accidents. Huskies are independent but friendly, so building trust through consistent training and positive reinforcement is important. I also make sure he has plenty of space to run and play, as he needs regular physical and mental exercise. As for my snake, safety is key too. I make sure her enclosure is secure and the temperature and humidity levels are just right for her species. I handle her gently and with care, allowing her to get used to me at her own pace. Trust takes time, but regular, calm handling helps. I keep her environment clean and provide hiding spots, as well as fresh water, to make sure she feels comfortable and safe. When I’m walking or caring for my pets at home, I make sure the environment is always safe and comfortable for them. It’s all about creating a space where they feel secure and loved, and where they can trust me to meet their needs.
“Kristen was once again so good with our pup! She was able to accommodate us while we went out of town last minute no problem which was a huge life saver!! we knew our pup was in good hands! thank you Kristen!!”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Diana’s care. This is the first time I left my dog overnight with someone and I have had my dog nine years. Now I can go places that don’t accept dogs and I feel comfortable leaving him behind.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”

About: Hi! I’m a 26 year old dog lover, grad student, and proud dog mom to my 6yr old doodle mix. I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays. I also have experience fostering through The Animal Pad, a local non profit organization. I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra love and attention while you’re away! Whether they need a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company and cuddles. I know how much our dogs mean to us, so I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member ☺️🐾🤍 I work part time as a SLPA at Rady Children’s Hospital while attending grad school, which gives me flexibility to spend time with your pups on Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Fridays. Your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a beloved member of your family. I will always be respectful of your home, follow any house rules, and pet care instructions you provide to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout my visit. I’m attentive to their needs and will take time to understand their routines, personalities and anything they may need extra care with. I’m happy to set up a meeting appointment to make sure I’m the right person for your pet/family 🥰

About: Our family has had several years of experience with a large variety of dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments and medical conditions. From administering insulin shots to working with retired police dogs, we have experienced it all. You can rest assured that your dog would be loved and cared for as if it were our very own and would receive the best care as we would want for ours. We both have experience in working with dogs with some challenging traits to include health issues and are more than capable in caring for dogs in perfect to not so perfect health. We have had dogs from early puppies all the way to adopted senior citizens in our lifetime and would love to love your dog like we would our own while you're at work or out of town. We currently have weekends to ourselves and your dog would spend the day/weekend with us being part of the family. From walks to the park to play time at the beach, and even coming out with us to dinner, your dog will be made to feel like they are one of the family. We welcome dogs in the bed, car rides, play time, fetch, cuddles, and an overall good time. We genuinely love dogs and want them to feel comfortable and happy while you're away. We do not have a yard but we live close by to a fenced in park (not a dog park) and would provide several leashed walks a day. We try and keep to a routine while they are here with us so there is familiarity and a sense of comfort in that there are not big surprises. We have a quiet neighborhood and not a lot of coming and going in our home, and when we do leave, it's expected that the dog(s) go with us where ever they can. We want your dog to be part of the family while they're with us giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is loved and well taken care of, just like we would want for ours.
“Hi awesome Claudia & Cris! Your dogs are just so.. adorable!!🥰😊 Thanks so much for being there at such very short notice. Your sharing videos of Joby plainly sees he is having a wonderful time. We could see him smiling all around. Yessssss! I totally would recommend Claudia & Cris to care for your fur baby. We are one happy customer and will most definitely be back for future times ahead.😁😂😂”

“Honestly, from the moment we met during the consultation we were immediately at ease. My pup had plenty of love while we were gone ( 13 days) and was actually sad when she came home - we think from missing Agueda! We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and if you are hesitating to book, don’t! She is great!”

“Shania was great with our frenchie Belle. She loved her time there and Shania provided us with daily pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely book again the next time we are in need of boarding.”

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Imperial Beach is $61
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial Beach
Kim was so good with my dog Rex! This was my first Rover experience and I had a non-zero level of anxiety with leaving my good boy with a stranger while I go out of town. I’m super grateful for the care and attention she provided, and she sent me multiple pictures throughout the day so I had peace of mind. She has a great little space, a nice secure yard, and a really sweet companion dog. 10/10 will rebook for my next trip.

Diana was absolutely amazing! Blaze had the best time at her house. I booked with her super last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. She constantly sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Blaze was happy and having a great time. They gave him so much love and attention and took him on fun adventures and walks. You could tell he genuinely loved being with them and was treated like part of the family. He came home so happy! Diana is easily one of the best sitters I’ve ever had, and I would 100% book with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!

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!

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.

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 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.
