“Brad and Carolyn were so great with our dog, Marlo. They were very responsive and communicative, so nice to him during his stay, and just seem like they provide a great home. He even got a big, long walk.”
“Andrea went above and beyond taking care of our dog, Penny. She is an older dog and Andrea made sure she followed her med schedule and had all of the potty breaks she needed!”
“We are extremely pleased with care Lynn and Marty provided to our dog. Diego was very sad when he got home after one week staying with them. He refused his food and looked like he was missing them! The environment is safe, huge backyard, constant supervision. They are my first choice for next booking”
“Ashly Did a great job with my 2 pups. One is a senior and Ashly handled all her pills and special diet requests with ease. Ashly was always prompt in her response and communications. I loved the photos and little updates. It was much appreciated. Drop off and pick up was smooth as well! I would definitely use Ashly again!”

We have already booked a second stay. Thanks Jeanine!”

About: I have two pets of my own that I love and adore but looking for something to do part time. I’m available Saturday’s and Sunday’s and most weeknights. I currently do have a full time job with a flexible schedule. I’m open most of the day Saturday and Sunday! I can also do some evenings during the week. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From dogs, cats to horses, I’ve spent my whole life around animals! I currently have two indoor dogs that I love dearly.
“Candice was wonderful both with my mom’s dog and with communication. My mom had photos to comfort her while away from her little pal and that was very thoughtful and helpful. And Barney was well cared for and happy. We will definitely contact Candice again.”
“Kayla bravely agreed to take our 8 month old Australian Shepherd for 2 nights and days while we attended family wedding events. She handled her beautifully and our puppy loved her time. Puppy came back calm and happy. Kayla is very "dog knowledgable". She communicates clearly - asks questions about what would be OK for puppy. It made such a difference to us to know the great treatment she gave to our "teenage dog". We will ask for Kayla whenever we come. Our dog is crate trained, which helped I am sure.”
About: My wife and I are lifelong animal owners and lovers - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. She works from home and is a certified dog trainer and I'm the manager of a local veterinary hospital. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. Schedule: We offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds, including continuous care for pets with separation anxiety or complex health needs. Having someone that works from home allows all the time in the world for our pups and our visiting guests to be pampered, offering customized care for their unique needs. We treat drop-in visits like we would our own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in our care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pug. She shared frequent pics of our dog on walks and playing in the house. We know our dog had a great mini vacation while we did ourselves!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, young and old, and think the absolute world of these beautiful animals. I recently parted ways with my soul dog when he passed in March and have missed him every moment since. Despite this loss, I have not lost my love for dogs. Caring for your baby would be an absolute privilege and joy for me, and I promise to love and look out for them as my own. I work in home health healthcare but am typically available every morning before 10am and every afternoon after 4pm. My days can be flexible where I can check in periodically as well— I am happy to coordinate as needed. I’m also off every Wednesday and am available over overnight stays. I welcome dogs into the home as well and am always willing to take them out to the beach, on trails, and any adventures in general!
About: I have dog sat for friends and family for years. This past year I started walking dog part time on apps and have absolutely loved it. I work remotely so have flexibility in my schedule for walks before, during, or after the work day. I love animals and used to foster puppies from a local animal shelter. Naturally I am a very loving & caring person who adores time spent with animals. I work remotely from home and can watch pets most days with my schedule. Happy to dog sit if you are going out of town or set up regular weekly walks. I love pets as if they were my own. Ensure they are comfortable and confirm with owner if any allergies or triggers I should be aware of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montecito
Angelin was great, I’d definitely book with her again. She kept me updated with messages and photos and was really flexible with drop-off and pick-up. My dog can take a little time to warm up in new situations, but she connected with him quickly and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the whole time.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Montecito is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $84 per night. On Rover, 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 of October 2026, there are 371 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Montecito. 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.
98% of sitters in Montecito 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 Montecito 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 Montecito.
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 Montecito 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.
