“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Corinne & Christopher is such a lovely couple who took great care of my dog Jackie Chan. From the first time we did a meet and greet- I was at ease and know they will take care of my dog as if he’s their own. Thank you so much and until the next time.”
“Marley had a fantastic time with Jenny! She was great about sending lots of pictures and videos so we always felt in the loop. He got lots of trips to the dog park and enjoyed playing with her dog Lucky. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit with her!”
“Cannot say enough great things about how these two wonderful people treating our aging pup. Flawless communication, endless love and attention! I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”
“Holly was great! She took care of our two dogs for 9 days. It was the first time our dogs stayed with her. We could tell from the pictures and short videos that Holly sent us on a daily basis that our fur babies were comfortable and happy. They received a lot of loving attention and were taken on a leash walk twice every day. Holly and her husband have a really nice fenced yard with a large tree for shade plus a covered porch, ideal for dogs to play and enjoy the outdoors. We highly recommend Holly as a dog sitter and will use her dog boarding service again.”
“Hannah and her husband gave Lincoln a wonderful vacation while we traveled! It gave us peace of mind knowing he had a big backyard and comfy couch to relax in with them. I would be happy to drop him off for another staycation the next time we go anywhere!”
“We are so glad that we have found Michelle and Steve to watch our pup while we are out of town. We know that she is in good hands and never hesitate to reach out to them while we are away.”
“Jocelyn was a great sitter! She was very responsive when it came to communication and appreciated that she asked before treating my dog to a pup cup. Would def book again!”
“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.”
“Wonderful experience all around! From the initial visit through the drop off, the stay and the pickup, Marina and Kathryn put us at ease about leaving our dog with them. Responses were super fast, even when we were making last minute changes to our schedule and plans. Lots of pictures throughout the stay let us know that she was happy and comfortable. We will definitely use again!”
“Gelare was amazing! She watched our dog Kobe for the weekend. We scheduled a meetup beforehand and we felt very comfortable knowing Gelare is a real animal person. Gelare kept us updated with photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely ask Gelare to watch Kobe again.”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”
“Julia was kind and sweet to my girls. She was quick to reply and sent lots of pictures and videos. It definitely gave me the comfort I needed for my first extended trip away from my doggies. Thank you Julia. I will be using her again.”
“Nina is amazing! Our dog Roxy really enjoyed her time there. Nina took Roxy on a long walk which she loved and sent updates and the cutest photos, highly recommend Nina. We will be using her again”
“In the past with all my dog sitters, I have never been so satisfy with the care of my dog until I hired Kara. Kara has a dog of her own and really understand what it takes to take care of them. She listens to everything that I requested and follow it on schedule. There were also times that required my decision and she made an effort to text me without a hesitation, no matter how minor it was. I really felt comfortable the minute I have met her with lots of trust to do the job right. I'm not going to waste any more time looking for other sitters, since I found a perfect one. Kudos to Kara and I hope there will be others that will see that too along with me.”
“Lisa helped accommodate our 8 month old Labrador - Zen, over the long weekend. He was well taken care of and came back home happy - and tired from all the backyard play :) We will certainly reach Lisa again in the future to care for Zen.”
“Julia was awesome with our dogs! We appreciated the nightly updates and pictures! Our dogs enjoyed playing with her husky and seemed very relaxed in her home. Thanks for watching our fur babies, Julia!🐾”
“Margaret was an amazing dog sitter! She communicated quickly from the start and provided very clear instructions when we met, which made everything smooth and stress free. She was kind and I really appreciated her flexibility into allowing to extend my reservation one more day, because we had a change of schedule for our trip. During the stay, she sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which I truly appreciated. Both of my dogs, Rara and Hana, were happy and well cared for, and it was clear Margaret took very good care of them. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be using her as my regular dog sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”

We had a great experience with Sarah! She was extremely responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and took great care of Rhett. She was also very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her again soon!
Ronald and his family always do such a nice job taking care of my dog Winnie. Ronald is very communicative and always wants to make sure he is up to speed on care instructions, which I very much appreciate. Winnie always comes home tired so I know she has had a blast :)
This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Lisa. Would definitely love to have her watch our Labrador again. Our dog is deaf, but Lisa was warm and welcoming, and made him feel right at home. She sent updates and pictures of our guy, and we felt that he was very well cared for. Thanks, Lisa!!
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!
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.
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 $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,510 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.
