“Lauryn was fantastic with our dog, Sirius! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and she was kind, warm, and professional. During our 9 day trip, she sent photos and updates and seemed to genuinely enjoy having Sirius with her! She made it easier to be away from him for a longer stretch. I would highly recommend Lauryn, and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!”
““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!””
“My two pups had a great vacation with May and came home happy and healthy! May was very responsive and sent photos of them while we were on our trip. We’ll definitely book with May and her family again!”
“Yue was amazing! Needed a last minute week-long stay for my mom’s dog. Yue was super responsive, took her on walks, and pup clearly loved her stay. Definitely will be our go-to in the future!”
“Bruno was instantly comfortable with Apple and her family from the moment he met them. So it wasn't a surprise when I dropped him of for his first stay and allowed me to leave him without hesitation. The peace of mind that Apple provided during my time apart from Bruno was priceless. She provided thoughtful updates which included pictures and videos. She made sure I never missed out on knowing how his day went. She even kept me updated on some concerns I had with his tummy and monitored his meals closely for me. She welcomed his obsession with giving kisses and his requests to sit on furniture and get on the bed for cuddles. He definitely seemed to have been feeling completely at home. Bruno's next stay is already booked. We can't wait for another visit with Apple!”
“Alegra you are exceptional! Thank you for taking such great care of Cowboy! I could tell by the photos that he was having a great time hanging out with you. And the story about him herding the chickens was cracking us up!”
“Barley had a great time at Clint’s house! Clint takes great care in the way he sets up his house for the dogs to stay over. He sent many video updates to let me know how Barley was doing. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Victoria is the best sitter! I can tell my dog had such a good time, and she’s great about communication and was so flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to extend my booking. Thanks Victoria!”
“Jordan took great care of our pup when we took a quick trip out of town! She sent us photos and was great with communication. Marley was a happy girl when we picked her up! Thanks Jordan :)”
“Julia was amazing. We came down to San Diego for 4th of July weekend, we were a little worried about our dog and the fireworks. Julia provided consistent photos/updates and was very communicative. We had peace of mind the whole weekend. We will definitely use Julia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter! 10/10”
“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”
“Kate was awesome! She provided photos and commentary on every aspect of their day. Quickly to respond and let us be flexible with pick up day when our flight was delayed, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Bri was excellent! Me and my wife had to fly out of state for a wedding and she took perfect care of our boy - giving us daily updates and sending pictures too! Highly recommend and would most definitely book with her again!”

Julia was incredible!!! Not only was she so flexible with my schedule and specific needs but she was so beyond kind and caring. She took such good care of my dog Louie. He's been so anxious and sick lately and despite him having an accident in her home, she still welcomed him back and even went so far as to text me days later checking in to make sure he was feeling better. There's nothing worse than leaving your baby when they're sick and Julia alleviated so much of that stress for me. Can't say enough good things about her!
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 $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.
