“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.”
“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“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!”
“Toto always has a great time with Diana! She provides good updates and adorable videos of the pups, which I appreciate, and gives Toto plenty of love. Thanks Diana!”
About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else. Because of Layla, I speak fluent "snort and grunt" and understand the specific nuances that come with flatter-faced breeds. Your baby will receive the exact same vigilance, tenderness, and love that I gave my own girl. 🐾 What Sets My Home Apart: One Family at a Time: I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant companionship. To keep things calm and focused, I only host one dog (or two from the same household) at a time. They will never have to compete for a lap or love. I'm hyper-aware of the daily maintenance these special pups need. I’m fully equipped to handle tail pocket cleanliness, regular wrinkle wiping, and ear upkeep. You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy. Spine & Heat Safety: To prevent IVDD and protect their backs, my home features ramps and stairs for all couches and beds. Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time. Medications & Routines: I am completely comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and I closely monitor breathing and temperature limits. I work from home, so your dog will receive full-time attention, supervision, and care. My home has central A/C, a fenced grass backyard for them to enjoy San Diego weather, and tons of toys & beds to cuddle in. Your pup will always be welcome on the couch and my bed. Fun for a flat-faced pup is all about balancing engagement with safety, and my day is built around that rhythm. Your pup will leave happy, safe and well rested.
“Michelle and Steve were so easy to work with and so friendly. We were out of town and in a pinch of a sitter. They were so flexible and worked around our drop off pick up schedule. Dogs were well taken care of and had lots of fun playing with other dogs.”
“Rachel was so wonderful in every way! She was extremely quick and professional with communication, and willing to help out somewhat last minute when a previous sitter had cancelled. Rachel made time for a meet and greet to meet my older anxious pup Fiona. She was very attentive to detail and followed my schedule and instructions with meals and medications. She sent me updates, and was patient when my pup had a tough time getting comfortable one of the nights. Fiona was so calm and content when I picked her up, which is always a good sign that she was well taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much, Rachel for being so kind, gentle and patient with my sensitive girl while I was gone. It means more than you know! If she would consider, we would love to book again in the future.”
“Annie, Ty and their daughters took wonderful care of my dog. They asked lots of questions about his care and routine and provided regular updates and photos of him while he was with them. He came home happy and relaxed after his time in their home.”
“We had a great experience with Stacey and Christopher watching our pup Hudson. This was our first time having him stay with anyone besides family so we were nervous but it turned out great. They were super attentive, sent us a ton of picture updates everyday and even let us set up a meet and greet ahead of time. We loved that they only pet sit one dog at a time and they were happy to accommodate any requests we had. Definitely plan to use them again for future trips. Thank you Stacey and Christopher!”
“Calvin and Tiffany were great.My dog had some issues and they did a super job. My dog is 13 years old and has never been away from me. I felt she was in really good hands and I highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“Upon meeting Dahui, I could already tell that she would be great with my dog! She's very friendly and caring with pets. I will certainly be rebooking with her again in the future (:”
“Gelare was wonderful!!! So caring and attentive with our standard poodle Charlotte. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Charlotte was in the best hands with Gelare. We will reach out to Gelare again for Charlottes care💛. She is the best!!”
“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.”
“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”
“We are so happy we found Marina to watch our doggy. We actually call her place dog Vegas, and I don’t think our pup ever wants to leave! She sends tons of pictures and videos, and it is clear that all doggies are treated wonderfully and have an absolute blast while they are there! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Hanna was amazing! She sent many pictures of their walks and videos of them playing with Bigsby. Both of our dogs loved being there and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were happy.”

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.
This was our third stay with Ronald and we continue to have a great experience. Charlie always seems happy and well cared for, and it was nice to hear that he fit right in with the pack. We also appreciated the kind offer to return the blanket we accidentally left behind. Thank you again—we look forward to booking with you in the future!
Yangyan was amazing with Hank and Zoey! She kept us updated throughout their stay with cute pictures! and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!
This was our first time leaving our Shiba girl, May, with anyone else, so we were super anxious. May is shy, stubborn, and doesn't trust strangers easily, but Stacy and Chris completely put our minds at ease the second we arrived. Their kind and gentle greeting instantly calmed her shaking nerves. They were so patient and took good care of her. We loved getting their updates and photos—it really is the best feeling as a dog owner! Thank you both for everything. We feel so lucky to have found you and will be booking again in the future!
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.
Wonderful experience with our 1 year old pup and an overnight stay! The communication was wonderful and we received many pictures throughout the day. We loved the fact that he went on so many walks, as an energetic dog, he definitely needs it! Also, our dog has some separation anxiety and what gave us peace of mind was that they were home the whole time with him. Our dog had the best time we will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our dog over the weekends!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,498 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.
