“Cristina and her hubby took amazing care of my dog again. He didn't want to come home. I am so shocked and surprised how he eats right away and follows all orders and just feels right at home every time he is there. Hope to book with Cristina on a more regular basis.”
“Trent and his family took great care of our 2-year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. Our dog is very social and active, so it was great that they have 2 dogs of their own to play with and a great little dog park just a few yards away. Our dog was not crate-trained, so we also appreciated the flexibility they showed in boarding her. Pickup/dropoff and communication was great, including photos and videos. Thanks!”
“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“Holly is great! She sent loads of photos and updates on Winnie throughout her stay and Winnie had the best time! Will absolutely be sending Winnie back the next time we travel!”
“Jamal was great with our little guy. He was sending us daily updates and was super flexible with drop off and pickup! We will definitely be rebooking with Jamal!”
“Raquel and her family did amazing with Everest our goldendoodle puppy. Communication the whole time she had him was phenomenal. Got him back today and he looks better than when we left him. Thank you guys so much!! Highly recommend her to watch your dogs!!!!”
“Madison and her husband were amazing! They were very accommodating with me when I wanted to add an additional day and additional pick up time. They made sure to send many pictures and updates. They even gave me tips on training to make sure what he was taught in those days, stuck. I'll definitely be bringing him back for future stays!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 8, always having a dog in the home and a wide variety! From smalll dogs to large dogs and various breeds I’ve had the great opportunity of being able to take care of them all! I have a hybrid work schedule throughout the week that allows me to work from home so I’m typically always able to accommodate and be there for your pups! I have two yards, the backyard being completely fenced and spacious for your fur baby. I have two friendly black labrador neutered males who are very well socialized and can easily keep your pets company if you’d like! I also offer your pet their own space if you prefer that! If your pet is crate trained, I can accommodate that as well. There will be multiple potty breaks and play times for your pet while they are here!
“Taylor and her family were amazing! Our dog doesn't meet people easily but they were very patient with her and did their best to make her feel comfortable away from home. Taylor sent lots of photos and updates! We will definitely have them watch our dog again!!”
“Samantha was amazing with my dog! She sent picture updates daily and provided me with updates while I was away (all without asking which I loved!!) I would 100% recommend using her to watch your pets and will be booking with her again.”
“Mark is an absolutely the best. He is so accommodating, easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond anything I couldn’t have hoped for. I had pictures everyday and my little guy was obviously at home. I felt confident and reassured that little “Stevie “ was well cared for and happy. It was all that I could have hoped for.”
“My go to sitters for my sweet Nori. I book them every couple months since I travel a ton for work. nori loves staying with Kylie, Anthony and their kiddos.”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
“Jason always treats my two boys with lots of care. They love staying with Jason & his family. I am a repeat customer & will continue to count on Jason for dogsitting.”
“I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my goldendoodle. Jean Pierre was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and even extended my booking last minute to accommodate a change in my plans. Most importantly, my dog loved it! In fact, she probably would have been happy staying longer she had so much fun! I will definitely be taking her back to Jean Pierre in the future.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 10 years old. Later as an adult, I took in a friend's dog who was looking for a new home. He is now almost 14 years old, happily living and spoiled with love at my parents' house! I’m truly passionate about animal care and love staying up to date by following and sharing content from dog care accounts on social media. I’m very observant and quick to pick up on a dog’s body language whether they need something or feel uncomfortable and I’m always striving to understand them even better! I’m currently not working, so I’m at home most of the day with my dog, Mango (a super friendly 1year and 8month old). I have plenty of time to take care of your cute little buddies! I live in a quiet, dead-end community in Stonecrest with no through traffic, making it super safe and peaceful. There are plenty of friendly dogs of all sizes in the neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, relax, and take easy potty breaks. Plus, our community features a great park and lovely walking trails, offering a wonderfully dog-friendly environment with super nice neighbors.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lemon Grove
Katelyn and Paul were amazing. They invited us to come over and do a meet and greet with our pup to make sure we’re were compatible. They sent updates every day and were super friendly. Whinnie their dog was also such a sweetheart! Will definitely be booking them again in the future!
I had an amazing experience with Adam watching my Frenchie, Lailah, over the weekend! From start to finish, Adam was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. He consistently provided updates through pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lailah was happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. Those little updates truly made a difference and showed how thoughtful he is when caring for someone’s fur baby. It’s not always easy trusting someone else with your dog, but Adam made the entire experience stress-free. I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care and attention he gave Lailah. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter!
My boyfriend and I never felt more confident in leaving our boy with someone for the first time since adopting him back in July. She quickly got back to me about a last minute board for Rocky and even helped out with watching him a bit longer! Rocky is a bit reactive and she had no issue with handling and taking care of Rocky! He absolutely adored her and is now at home knocked out from how much play and running he got to do! 🥺
Abi was a wonderful sitter and eased a lot of our anxiety in leaving our fur baby for the first time for an extended period of time. Chowder loved her and the roommates. He always looked comfortable when she would update us in photos. I would definitely recommend leaving you fur baby with Abi!! We hope to book with her again soon for our next trip.
I was extremely comfortable leaving Alvin with Jordan. He has a great house that is super clean with the perfect backyard. I know we took a lot of time with my dog. And even hand fed him when needed! Lol. When returning from my trip and picking up Alvin, I could tell that he was well taken care of and extremely happy. I have found my new sitter. Thank you so much, Jordan!
Elena is absolutely amazing! Our dog Finn stayed with her while we were out of town a few days and he had the best time! Elena sent messages and pictures throughout his stay and he looked so happy (he was literally smiling)!’ We would highly recommend Elena, she is incredibly caring, attentive and took excellent care of Finn!!
Nat was incredible. Daisy is normally pretty shy, but she ran up to Nat when they first met and was begging for pets. I immediately felt she was trustworthy with my dog. Nat sent me a ton of photos throughout Daisy’s stay and I honestly wasn’t certain my dog would even want to come home. Thank you so much!
Eli was so great with Mochi! He kept me updated with a bunch of pics while he was away on his work trip, which I really appreciated. Mochi got a lot of love, walks, and treats, which was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while I was out of town. I will definitely book with him again!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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 Lemon Grove.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lemon Grove. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
