“Mark was amazing with my dog, Ollie, for the long weekend he had him. He sent photos of him cuddling on the couch and laying out in the sun, my dog’s two favorite things to do so I knew he was in good hands. When I picked up Ollie up he was happy and healthy. Mark was also very responsive, communicative and understanding throughout Ollies stay. Really couldn’t recommend him enough.”

She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”

I could tell he was taken care of and well loved since he slept the rest of the day once we got home. I’m sure he didn’t want to miss out on any of the fun!”

Cristina treated Alo like part of her family, and I’m so grateful for the love and care he received! A big thank-you to her husband and daughter for helping care for him and making him feel at home. Alo clearly enjoyed his stay and came home looking so happy and healthy. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands.

This was our first time leaving Louie with a Rover sitter, and Rhonda was everything we could have asked for. She is kind and very sweet, so it was easy to leave our dog with her, and the pictures and videos she sent were exactly what we needed. The house was perfectly set up for one dog, and it was good to learn that Louie can tolerate cats, so we may have a cat in the future. Overall, a truly wonderful experience, and we deeply appreciate Rhonda's genuine care for our Louie.

Vanessa and Brent were so loving and kind with Enzo, welcoming him like one of their own. They kept me updated with photos and videos of his day and thoughtfully asked questions whenever I’d left out a detail in my messages. It was clear how much care and attention they gave him, and I’m truly grateful. They took wonderful care of my dog, and I highly recommend them.

This was our second time leaving our fur baby in the care of Trent & Rayssa and just like the first time, they did not disappoint. Our little doggie was relaxed, happy, and well cared for which gave us incredible piece of mind while we were away. They're both very good people and I can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommend!

We love Emily! Our cocker spaniel has stayed with her twice now and comes home happy and healthy. The last time we dropped her off, she could tell when we were getting closer to Emily's house and was getting so excited! She ran right inside without looking back and was excited to play. Leaving her with Emily brings us such peace and reassurance knowing she is in good hands. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our sweet fur baby! Thank you so much, Emily!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lemon Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lemon Grove on Rover is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $77 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,036 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lemon Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Lemon Grove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lemon Grove home-away-from-home, 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 Lemon Grove.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lemon Grove 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 , 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 .

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.
