“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I hsve 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.
“This was Pearls first stay with Teresa and the beginning of many more. Pearl had a wonderful time came home so calm and relaxed. Received pics of fun walks on beach, and having fun in yard. Thank you Teresa”
“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.”
“When Bear stays with Kristen I know he is being well taken care of and I don't worry. She treats him like family. Thank you Kristen for another great stay!!!”
“Kenia was in constant communication throughout the stay, sending pictures and making sure I knew how he was doing. The space is great and made my dog feel right at home. They were attentive and gave him lots of love. I will definitely be booking with this family again.”
“Tyler did a wonderful job of keeping us updated on how Lucy was doing throughout the trip. He took extra care to make sure she felt comfortable and was eating well. I know she was in great hands and we will be using Tyler again in the future!”
“My furry girl stayed at Melissa's for one night. Melissa was thorough, careful, loving, and protective. The next day Maggie was happy and calm, and I think she didn't even notice I wasn't with her! She had a great time and I will surely leave her again with Melissa the next time she needs exceptional care.”
“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.”

“They were absolutely amazing and top notch in taking care of Coco! I would definitely rebook with them anytime! They continually send me updates, photos, and videos during his entire visit. They even asked if they could give him some of their homemade organic treats which he loved! Definitely 5 star treatment and he got along great with their one sweet dog! I am so happy that I found them!”
“Angela was incredibly responsive and sweet! Definitely the best sitter we’ve ever had. Our two doggos loved being with her, it was such a relief to know that they were getting taken care of so well! She took them on walks often and played with them, my dogs loved her backyard to run around in! Incredibly thankful for such an attentive sitter. Kona and Graham will definitely be back! 💛✨”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Imperial Beach
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!
Daisy and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog Sophia. We were nervous to leave her behind because she was having an allergy flare up right before our vacation. Daisy and her family were incredibly accommodating and helped Sophia feel better and loved the entire time we were away. We can’t thank them enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!
John and Francesca are the best! Cooper always enjoys staying at their home, which is a fantastic space for pets! I always appreciate receiving updates and photos and know Cooper is in great hands when I’m traveling. I highly recommend booking with John and Francesca for your pets next stay!
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!
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!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Imperial Beach
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.
