“We are so happy with Erica and Ronald and their wonderful presence, caring and overall attitude to looking after their own and others' dogs. Everyday photos and sharing how everyone is getting along counts for a lot. We are very grateful.”
“Excellent service! Provides daily photos and updates. Works great with dogs that are not used to multiple people or dogs. Very accommodating and times/date adjustments. Would highly recommend her.”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Alicia and Christian are truly the best. This is the third or fourth time we’ve trusted them with Milo, and they never disappoint. Our boy absolutely loves staying with them and always has the best time, especially playing with their doodle. They’re so thoughtful and communicative, and the sweet photos they send always make our day. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and care they show Milo—thank you always! 💛”
“Service above and beyond! We were so delighted with our experience with Kym. Our mini schnauzer was so well cared for and happy. He even needed a visit to the vet, which Kym handled lovingly and beautifully. Will certainly be seeking her care again!”
“Leslie watched my cat for 3 nights. He is very shy and scared and she made sure he was comfortable in his own little area without having to worry about the other pets in the house. Although they slowly gained his trust and he cuddled with her adorable, sweet cat. I felt my cat was safe and in great hands from the moment I left him. She provided pictures and updates which was wonderful to receive. Thank you so much Leslie and to your family for being so caring and loving. And for the patience of trying to win over our little shy guy so he could get pets and cuddles. I would recommend her 10/10 to care for your pets.”
“Awesome family, great furry friend of their own. Our doggies felt at home with them…. And our frenchie even refused to leave with me 🤣. That says a lot about how much love and attention they received.”
“First time my dog goes to Angie’s house for boarding on 10/18/25. We had a meet and greet prior to this and we are impressed with the house and yard where the dogs can walk/run around. She took good care of our dog. Our dog looked happy when he was picked up. Thank you Angie! We will see you again next month for a longer stay.”
“Amy is fantastic with Sasha! Super accommodating, amazing communication, and takes such great care of her. Highly recommend, though please don't book her too much because I need her open for Sasha 😅 !”
“Amber and Bradley took such good care of my Luna! They were attentive to her needs, dedicated to making her stay welcoming and comforting, and just genuinely nice people who obviously have a love for dogs. The whole process was super easy and they were completely reliable. They even made sure we did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it was a good match and Luna felt comfortable. Could not recommend them enough!”
“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
“John was very polite upon meeting and seemed to do a fantastic job at taking care of my dog Henny. Very responsive and sent me photos daily. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely rebook again. Thank you John!”
“Sarah is great! She provided daily updates and pictures of our boys which was so nice to have as it was our first time traveling without our pups. I was not worried or concerned one bit leaving them with her. She gave them top notch care and even gave me a product she recommended. We will definitely be using Sarah again!”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Christopher was great with our dog Ollie!! He took him on multiple hikes and even to the Beach!! I think this was the first time we picked up Ollie and he was tired from all the exercise he got. Christopher sent us lots of pictures of their adventures and kept us up to date! Our flight got delayed, and Christopher was very understanding with our delayed pick up time. Overall a great experience for both Ollie and us!! Would highly recommend!!”
“Vicki was great! I have zero complaints. She provided a wonderful home for my dog, and she communicated with me every day. I will happily bring my dog back to her the next time I am out of town.”
“Lisa and her family were so lovely with our pandemic pup, Lily, who has lots of social anxiety. She was only there for an evening, but still got lots of play time, snuggles, and even a walk. We received photos throughout the night, which really helped anxious mom and dad too. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
“I’m a repeat customer because my dogs are always so well cared for. They stayed for two days, came home happy, and one even got her oral meds with no issues. Communication and updates were great as always. Truly grateful for the reliable, loving care!”
“We were originally a bit skeptical since we’ve only ever left our dog with people we know. But after meeting Maya, we felt completely at ease. She did an amazing job—sending daily photo updates and making sure our girl was clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Maya and family!”

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.
96% of sitters in Palomar Mountain 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 Palomar Mountain 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 Palomar Mountain.
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 Palomar Mountain. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Palomar Mountain 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.
