“Lauryn is great! She knew we had some ongoing challenges and was extremely patient with us as we made arrangements for dog boarding. She met with us for a meet and greet, sent updates and photos throughout the day, is communicative, flexible, and a highly responsible dog sitter/boarder. I can tell my dog was happy and well cared for and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰”
“Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!”
““We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog Lola! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands with Erion and Iris. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“Great experience with Takako and Eric! Our dog didn’t want to leave! They really took care of him, and return him to us in great conditions. They also sent daily photo updates. There are some great shots! Highly recommended 👍”
“Thank you Abegail for taking care of Charlie! Abegail was so sweet to my dog, she updated me with pictures and videos throughout the day, which truly kept me at ease. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Yue is great with my dog Murphy. Murphy can get a little anxious but Yue is great with him. She takes him on lots of walks and they have lots of cuddles. I feel very comfortable leaving Murphy with Yue and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter!”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“Zach was so great with Zuko! Honestly one of the easiest sitters I've worked with on Rover and just in general. He was super flexible, accommodating, and responsive. He made sure to send me updates and pictures! My dog Zuko seemed to be having a really good time honestly! From the pictures he looked super comfortable too. I appreciated how Zach and his partner had another doggy friends for Zuko to hang with. Their dog seems very friendly and Zuko got along with them well. I think that helped him be more comfortable. Zuko is usually super anxious for awhile after coming home from the sitter, but he wasn't this time which tells me he was comfortable. Will definitely be using Zach as Zuko's sitter again and hopefully will be my go to!”
“Sully loves to spend time with Claire and Leo!! Claire provides updates and pictures daily. She is amazing. I can enjoy my trip knowing that Sully is in her care ❤️”
“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and love them so much. Our current dog, Maggie, was a foster fail whom I love dearly. I have experience fostering dogs and doing basic training. Our dog is very friendly with others. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, play fetch at the various parks nearby and give lots of cuddles at the end of the day. Sean and I work hybrid jobs, where we love to watch/walk dogs on our work from home days. We typically take our dog Maggie out 2-3 times a day for walks that vary from 15-45 minutes at a time. We can adjust to your dog’s schedule needs when we are home. We live in a home in the BayHo neighborhood with a fenced backyard and a dog park within walking distance. We allow our dog Maggie on furniture (the couch) and she sleeps in her dog bed. I am available to adjust based upon the needs of your dog. My dog Maggie is a rescue that we presume is a beagle/ terrier mix. She is very calm and gets along very well with other dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Jolla
Neena was a great sitter! Our dog stayed with her for over a week and had lots of fun outings and plenty of attention. Neena was very good at communicating before and during Pi's stay and accommodating to our scheduling needs for pick-up and drop-off. We would be happy to have her as a sitter in the future.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took great care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure he had a good day. She took him to the farmers market, the park, and gave him a great time I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. My dog came home tired and content. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Noa was absolutely amazing with my 4 month old golden retriever puppy. Leaving a young puppy with someone can be stressful, but he made the entire experience super easy and reassuring. He was patient, attentive, and clearly cared about my dog like he was his own. My puppy came back happy, well cared for, and clearly got plenty of attention and love. Communication was great the whole time, and I felt very comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. I would 100% trust Noa again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog.
Zachary was absolutely perfect with my dog! He was incredibly responsive and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being and made sure she was comfortable and happy. Communication was excellent from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone. One thing that really stood out happened after her stay. We walked by Zachary apartment building, and my dog immediately recognized it and seemed like she wanted to go back. It was obvious she felt safe, comfortable, and enjoyed her time there. Thank you Zachary!
Terri and Peter were fantastic, they took great care of our dog Stella while we were away for two weeks. It was clear from the photos and updates that Stella felt right at home with them and was loved as if she were their own pet. They also went above and beyond to help find a solution for a flair up of her skin sensitivity issues while we were gone. Thank you Terri and Peter!
Kayla was absolutely amazing with Iris 💛 Iris went straight to her immediately, which honestly told me everything I needed to know. I received tons of updates, great communication throughout, and could tell Iris was genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. Kayla was thoughtful, responsive, reliable, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I felt completely at ease leaving Iris with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in La Jolla on Rover is $52.93 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 4,443 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across La Jolla. 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 La Jolla 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 La Jolla 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 La Jolla 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 La Jolla.
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 La Jolla 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.
