Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Jolla
Julia was a godsend for me and my precious Millie. I was stuck last minute and needed dog boarding and she was super responsive, kind and welcoming to Millie. Outstanding experience as I received dozen of pictures everyday of all their funtivities. She even gave her a bath right before pick up! 5 stars isn’t enough!!!
HIGHLY recommend Kayla, this was my first time using rover and Kayla made me feel so comfortable. I was out of town and needed a last minute babysitter. I met Kayla the morning of to introduce my dogs to her. She took great care of them and sent me lots of videos + pictures throughout their stay with her. If I am ever back in San Diego, I will definitely rebook with Kayla! She is great! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Also, my dogs came back to me so exhausted! They had so much fun 🤩
Very grateful to have found Emma! She was so gentle, kind, and attentive with my cavapoo. She has a calming presence and space — my dog ran right up to her when I dropped him off and I didn’t have to worry at all leaving him with her. Very communicative daily with pics too :) thanks Emma!
Kenzie is amazing, kind and gentle, and exactly what our little Gia needed for a relaxing stay, with lots of snuggles and zoomies. Kenzie sent us updates with pictures and videos of our little one and took such great care of her. In addition, Kenzie is very responsive and so accommodating. We are so grateful to her for caring for Gia and look forward to having her watch Gia again soon!
Nanako and Dustin were so awesome to work with!! They were so wonderful with Bear from the moment we met them. Bear immediately felt safe, comfortable, and excited to be with them, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were incredibly attentive to his needs, especially since he can be nervous and anxious during the first initial days, and they made sure he felt comfortable throughout his stay. They kept us updated with photos and reassured the entire time, which we really appreciated! We also loved how many walks they went on. Bear is a really active dog and we love that they took him out to play ball multiple times during his stay. Bear came home so happy, well-rested, and clearly had such a great time. We would absolutely book with them again!
Rebecca & Raul really looked after my dog Lisa well, they gave her her eye medication’s as prescribed and also let me phone my dog every day because she had a little separation anxiety. When I got back home, they dropped her to my door and she smelled lovely and clean and looked great.. I would definitely recommend Rebecca & Raul.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in La Jolla on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,411 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.
