“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!”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Gordon loves going to stay with Michelle, Steve and Daisy! Michelle is a pup expert and we feel really comfortable leaving Gordon in her care. Thank you!”
“Jenny was so great to our pup, Mozart! She was quick to respond to all our messages and sent pictures constantly so we could see how much fun he was having. Mozart also got along super well with their dog, Lucky. Would definitely use Jenny again to care for our dog. Thank you, Jenny!”
“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 :)”
“Crystal came through for us last minute and she was great with Baxter! She provided an update and showed that my shy and timid dog warmed up to her and her family just as expected. Communication from start to finish was awesome too! Will definitely book with her again.”
“Marina and Catherine took great care of our puppy Ceviche! Marina is quick to respond to questions and accommodated our changes in drop-off/pick-up time. We received several photo updates and messages throughout the day, which reassured us Ceviche was in great hands. It was awesome to see him enjoying himself, especially knowing he was playing with other pups in a safe, supervised, and spacious area. When we picked him up, Catherine spent time sharing her observations on how he did. Marina and Catherine are reliable, provided our fur baby love and affection, and most of all gave us peace of mind during our time away. We will definitely book again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Julia always takes great care of Teddy! He always seems to have a blast playing with her dog and I appreciate her communication and pictures while we are gone.”
“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!”
“Margaret and Toffee were great with Louis! They watched him for us for 4 days and he was so happy. It was the first time we left him and we were confident that he felt right at home with them. He absolutely loved playing with Toffee. Thank you so much for the pictures and video updates! We will definitely ask you to take care of him again! Take care!”
“Sooooo glad we found Demi to take care of our elderly lab. Her house, yard space, tender loving care and dedication to our old gal was perfect. We got daily updates/videos which is a huge comfort. Will plan to have Demi care for our lab for any future needs”
“Jocelyn was a life saver for us, she accepted our puppy at the last minute when original sitter fell through. I received daily notifications about my pup, while I was out of town. I’d definitely recommend her and will be using her for future endeavors.”
“Our dog Penny had a great stay! The host was amazing and took great care of her, including accommodating her special needs. Everything went smoothly, and we’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Gelare took such good care of my dog Nessa! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for pet care — she made drop off/pick up a breeze and sent helpful updates through the stay! When I came to pick up my dog at the end of my vacation, I could tell Ness was relaxed and chill and that she’d had a great couple days staying with Gelare. Thank you Gelare!! I would definitely book again.”
“Maya and Corwin are truly phenomenal! Pixie enjoyed every minute while under their watchful care. Their daily pictures and updates clearly showed Pixie was loved and cared for. Maya and Corwin also don’t take in more animals than they can expertly care for. Truly the BEST. Will definitely book again!!!”
“We had previously booked our energetic, 2 year old goldendoodle for a 7 day stay with Holly, and had a sudden need for an overnight stay in the meantime. Holly and Sean were more than happy to oblige us, and reported an excellent stay with their 2 dogs and a visiting day-care doodle. We were happy things wend so well, appreciated their help on short notice, and look forward to Rosie's extended visit to come in 3 weeks.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Poway
Hannah was truly wonderful with our Moka! ❤️ She cared for her with so much love, attention, and affection, and clearly went above and beyond to make her feel happy and spoiled. This was Moka's first time with Hannah and she bonded with her instantly. Needless to say, Hannah is her new BFF❣️ She was also incredibly responsive and thoughtful with us, taking care of every little detail we asked for and giving us such peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Moka was genuinely loved and cared for, and that means everything to us. We feel so lucky to have found Hannah and would absolutely trust her with Moka again. She’s truly special! 🐾
Jenny watched Barley at her home while we were out of town. Her place is very dog friendly with a big living room and grassy back yard. Her dog Lucky a big German shepherd is so well behaved. We received multiple photos and videos daily. We would definitely use Jenny again.
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!
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.
