“We left our baby Daisy with Shilpa when we had a one day trip. Shilpa took good care of Daisy, sent us pictures during the day and before bedtime. We could tell Daisy was happy. We will ask Shilpa to take care Daisy again. Thanks!”
“May took excellent care of our dog for the 5 days we were out of town. The communication was great and we enjoyed the daily photo/video updates. Will definitely book again.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for our senior German Shepherd. During the two week boarding we would receive cute photos and updates on a daily basis. I’m definitely booking her again next time we’re leaving town.”
“My puppy was really happy when staying for a week with Julia and her mom. This was his first time away from me (and I was a nervous momma), so I appreciated the daily photos and videos of my puppy playing with other dogs that Julia sent to me. Communication was very good prior to booking, and also the week of my puppy's stay.”
“We recently moved to San Diego and Kimberly right away made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her - from meeting her before we left, to the pictures sent through out our trip I knew Sully was in good hands. We’ll absolutely be going back to Kimberly and are so thankful to have found her!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two dogs than Ron! From the start, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Ron provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my pups were not only safe but also happy and well cared for. His warm and welcoming family was an added bonus—it's clear that they all truly love animals and treated my dogs like part of their own. When I picked up my dogs, they were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved during their stay. Ron made the process effortless with his attentiveness and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible sitter. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Nia was not just a wonderful and communicative caretaker for our pup, she was also a total lifesaver when cancelled flights completely messed up our timeline. I’m super grateful for her flexibility and her professionalism. Thanks Nia!!”
“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!”
“Beth was great with Sterling! She sent plenty of photos and updates letting us know how he was doing. She’s very accommodating and adjusted the schedule when we came home earlier than planned. Will definitely recommend her to friends!”
“Jenny was the perfect pet sitter. I didn't have to worry about my boy at all. She kept me updated with pics and videos and made sure he had fun. I would definitely recommend her and rebook with her anytime we're in this area.”
“Michelle and Steve took great care of my pup and did an excellent job keeping me updated on how she was doing. She clearly enjoyed her time staying with them, getting to run around playing fetch and sunbathing all day. I will happily trust them with my pup next time I go out of town.”
“Norma & family are great! Our Mateo is very happy with them. Their dog Ketchup is an awesome playmate for Mateo. We would not hesitate to recommend them. They have taken care of Mateo twice now & we would gladly leave him with them again.”
“Stacey and Christopher were awesome! We left Goose with them for 3 days, and Stacey constantly sent pictures and updates with how he was doing and what they had been up to. Goose LOVED their backyard, and when we brought him home he was worn out for 2 days (that never happens). Stacey and Christopher both gave great feedback about Goose when we picked him up, and gave us a nice little report card for his stay with them. We will definitely request them again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Slava as our dog sitter! Our dog Oban stayed with her for a week and had such a great time. He loved playing in her big yard and spent hours doing his favorite thing—catching balls. Oban also had fun with Slava’s sweet dog Pumpkin and the whole family, who made him feel right at home. It was clear he was well cared for, loved, and entertained the entire time. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Slava to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and loving sitter!”
“Melissa took excellent care of Eva! She was extremely accommodating with pick up and drop off times, took extra care in feeding my pup when she was being fussy and her dog was so friendly too. Thank you Melissa, you anre awesome!”
“So lucky to have found Annie and Ty ❤️ can’t say enough great things about this experience. It was so hard to leave my Nelly during Christmas but Annie & Ty sent plenty of pictures/updates and gave Nelly the present I left her on Christmas Day which put my heart at ease. I rest assured knowing she would never be alone during my time away. Nelly made herself right at home in their home and I can’t wait for her to rest easy with Annie & Ty in the future.”

Kai is very picky about both people and other dogs, so we were quite worried about leaving him with Hanna and Bigsby. Fortunately, it turned out that Kai was genuinely excited to meet them and immediately took a liking to both of them. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable in their care.
Wally had another wonderful stay with Scott, Lori and Alexis! They take such great care of him and bring him on all kinds of adventures which he loves! We appreciate all the photo and video updates they send while we are gone; they really make for a guilt-free family vacation when we know that Wally is in good hands. We already have another booking with Scott and Lori for later this Fall! We trust them completely and Wally loves being with them!
Martin and Crystal watched Denali and Liberty last weekend and did a great job. They treated both dogs like their own, kept me updated, and I could tell the dogs were comfortable and happy the whole time. I fully trust them with my pets and will absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with Jenny! She was so welcoming, kind, patient, and took amazing care of our puppy, Hinge, while we were on vacation. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. Hinge got plenty of exercise, made new friends, and even came home having learned so much. It was clear he had a wonderful time and genuinely loved being there. We also loved receiving updates and pictures of him playing with his friends. It made us so happy to see him having so much fun. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave Hinge and would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!
It was so nice knowing our big dog Shadow was happy and in good hands while we were away. I know he had so much fun with their dog shadow. We came home to a happy dog, and we’ll definitely be booking with them again. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets.
Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!
Tanya and her family took great care of our 2 boys while we were out of town for a long weekend. We have small dogs and she has 2 large dogs but they all got along. Our dogs came home so tired they slept the rest of the day! She sent pictures multiple times a day too. Highly recommend her. We will be booking again for another trip.
Lisa took a great care of my 17 weeks old puppy. Even tho Mocha had a difficult time potting when it rained outside, Lisa was patient with her and tried everything to ensure she didn’t just potty anywhere in the house. When I picked up Mocha, I noticed she was even calmer than before and she was heeling better as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Poway on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Poway. 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 Poway 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 Poway 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 Poway 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 Poway.
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 Poway 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.
