“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She was super communicative and accommodating for a last minute work trip. She sent tons of pictures and Charlie was so happy in all of them!

“Michael and his wife have been so great to my giant puppy! Even took him on a little road trip! Michael was very attentive to my pups random quirks and was always quick to respond to my messages. Michael and his wife have taken wonderful care of my puppers and I will continue to use them as a great boarding resource!”
“Julia was great with our Pup and she came back very happy and well taken care of. She provided daily photos and updates and was very responsive to us. We will certainly be using her again next time we are out of town.”
“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.”
“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!!!”

“Kris and family are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, and made our dogs immediately comfortable in their home. She was very easy to communicate with keeping me up-to-date with messages and photos during their stay. We are happy we found a safe staycation for our dogs when we are away.”
“Ankea and her husband we're fantastic! My first Rover experience and because of how well my pups were looked after this won't be my last. My pups have medical conditions and anxiety which makes them a little bit of challenge to look after. Ankea didn't even get fazed when I was listing out all of the extra things she would need to do for my pups. She truly is amazing and I recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter especially if you're new to Rover.”
“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.”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Evan was a great find for us! We hate leaving our Golden behind but felt much better knowing he was joining Evan and his family. Our dog loves kids, pets, and lots of play. It seems like he got plenty off this being under Evans care. We set expectations with Evan around food and he was super accommodating. Evan provided us pictures and updates as he wrapped up each day which was great for us while traveling. Thanks for the care!”
“Alice and Micah are the kindest and most caring people and we trust them completely with our pup. They engage in prompt and clear communication, provide updates about our pet, and are very flexible. It’s also nice that they have their sweet Loki to keep our dog company. Highly recommend their services!”

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 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 4,615 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.
