“I believe my pup, Gatsby, has met his new best friend! Their dog, Pepper, comforts the fur guests so they feel very safe and relaxed in the new environment. The top two priorities for the owners, right? I'm definitely going to reach out to May again!”
“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”
“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.”
“We always know our dogs will be incredibly cared for with Kimberly and her family. We get so many cute update photos and relaxed, stress-free pups when we get home.”
“I think our dog had more fun during our vacation than we did! Linda and Zach were great. They sent lots of updates and were very accommodating with a last-minute schedule change. Our dog came home happy and tired after so much fun play time. We would definitely use them again.”
“Olivia and Sebastian are awesome! Donut was comfortable, happy, and got along with their dog Zuko. They sent regular updates and were super easy to coordinate with. I will definitely ask them to watch donut in the future!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing to Zoe! I sent her a pretty long note which definitely wasn’t expecting her to read it all but not only did she read it, she also was pertaining it to Zoe’s stay like with what Zoe is used to which I thought was so nice to see. She also kept us updated daily with photos and videos of all the hikes and activities they did which I absolutely loved! Thank you so much for everything! Will definitely want Zoe to stay again if she’ll have her!”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dog, Snowy, over the Christmas and New Year break. She has such a warm and kind personality, which immediately put me at ease. Snowy was clearly very well cared for and happy during his stay. Her apartment was also extremely clean and well maintained, reflecting the high level of care she provides. This will definitely be my go-to place for Snowy during future vacations, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
“I was a bit reticent to leave Rosie (my only 'child') with a stranger, but after messaging Ankea, she asked to meet me and Rosie and let us meet her and her pup, Rolo, to make sure we would be a good fit. I met Ankea at her home and we walked around outside with the dogs for a few minutes to get them used to each other. Ankea asked me all sorts of personality questions and shared stories of her own about Rolo. When we went inside, Ankea allowed Rosie to explore the house, then, when Rosie seemed comfortable, Ankea sat down on the floor and started playing with Rosie! It was wonderful to see that she would take care of Rosie like she cared for her own dog. During Rosie's stay, Ankea sent me multiple photos and videos of Rosie to let me know that she was having a great time and getting used to the new environment. She also shared stories about what had happened over night, and how Rosie was behaving. I felt so relieved and at ease after meeting Ankea, and I will DEFINITELY be calling her the next time that I go out of town! ”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“This was our first time doing any boarding for Tito! Gelare and her partner were incredible!! Tito was so nervous - he doesn’t like to eat while I’m away and Gelare tried everything even hand feeding him! He ended up eating out of her hand! I couldn’t have asked for a better pair of people to watch my fur son. They accommodated us last minute, they sent tons of photos, videos, and updates to put me at ease too. I’m so grateful for their incredible care they loved Tito like he was their own!”
“My first experience with Rover. Michael is very accommodating, and the drop off was easy. Goose was well taken care of. I received updates throughout his boarding. I had to extend which Michael obliged and this was very helpful for me. I was 100% satisfied in will rebook.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maya and her husband. They are absolutely wonderful, kind, attentive, and truly passionate about caring for animals. From the moment I met them in the middle of the night, I knew my senior-ita, almost 15 years old fur baby 🐕was in the best hands. Their calm energy and genuine love for animals instantly put both me and my dog at ease. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable pics, which gave me so much peace of mind. My Abby was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for — it was like a vacation for her, too! It’s rare to find sitters who treat your pet like family, but that’s exactly what Maya and her husband do. I feel incredibly lucky to have found them, and I would trust them again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you so much, Maya”
“Very nice couple took our pup in last minute. Frankie seemed happy and just like his playful self when he came home. Great communication, quick responses and they sent photos snd videos of our pup to let us know is doing well. Would recommend and rebook in the future”
“Diana has been such a great resource for me and my new pug. She has a wealth of knowledge and provides valuable feedback after each visit. The facilities are clean, spacious and safe. Diana’s attentiveness, organization and love for the pups in her care really shine through.”

Very great experience for my dogs. Ari gave updates regularly and sent photos. Would highly recommend. My dogs can be nervous but they took to Ari quickly and didn’t have any transition issues when they returned home which I know can sometimes happen for nervous dogs.
Kari was amazing with Britt! This was our first time leaving Britt with a caregiver, and we felt very comfortable leaving her for a long weekend. Kari sent regular photos, took Britt on 2 daily walks, and truly treated her like her own dog. Her family also embraced Britt with open arms. We would definitely use Kari's services again!
Pavla was wonderful with our pup who usually has separation anxiety with dog sitters. She kept him for several days while we were out of town and made him feel at home right away! Pavla's teenage son and daughter were also at home to play and cuddle with our pup, so he got lots of love and attention. Pavla was great with communication, sending messages and photos so we knew our dog was happy and feeling loved. When we picked up our pup, he was healthy and happy and obviously had a great stay with Pavla! We highly recommend her and would be eager to use her again when we go out of town. Thank you Pavla!!
Jinny took amazing care of Cacao for two weeks. She shared updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring, and it’s very clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. Cacao had a great time with her. Jinny was communicative, accommodating, and thoughtful throughout. I’d highly recommend her and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rancho Santa Fe on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,653 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rancho Santa Fe. 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 Rancho Santa Fe 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 Rancho Santa Fe 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 Rancho Santa Fe 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 Rancho Santa Fe.
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 Rancho Santa Fe 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.
