“This was both my first time boarding my pup & my first time using Rover - I couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding May & Marc! They made drop-off and pick-up as easy as could be, even with my return flight being delayed. They sent daily updates & pictures of Goose enjoying himself and getting exercise. May & Marc allowed me to focus on my work while away without having to stress over how my boy was doing. I can only hope I get the chance to book with them again for my next trip.”
“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!!”
“Michael was a great host for my dog, Doug. He provided regular updates & kept Doug happy throughout his stay. Michael was very flexible with my late evening pickup.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!🐾”
“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.”
“Great experience with Takako and Eric! Our dog didn’t want to leave! They really took care of him, and return him to us in great conditions. They also sent daily photo updates. There are some great shots! Highly recommended 👍”
“I left my golden retriever Bumi with Mayank and he had the best time with the yard access! I was given plenty of updates and I could tell my boy was having a great time all weekend long. We would definitely book again!”
“Michelle and Steve took great care of my pup and did an excellent job keeping me updated on how she was doing. She clearly enjoyed her time staying with them, getting to run around playing fetch and sunbathing all day. I will happily trust them with my pup next time I go out of town.”
“Hyun is the best dog sitter, she took great care of my puppy Honey, and even train her to go potty outside finally! She truly cares about your dog, and she constantly gives you updates and photos. It was honestly the best experience boarding Honey with Hyun. If you have the chance to get your puppy a sitter, be sure is Hyun because she really is the best! Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Honey. 💗😊”
“Kris was absolutely the sweetest and has the most loving family! They made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy and sent us pictures throughout the day which I loved. She will definitely give so much love to your pup or pet and make sure they are having the best time ❤️ My dog who is not the most affectionate warmed up to them so quick and didn’t want to leave! It was great to have someone so warm and trustworthy look after him while we couldn’t. Kris has a big house of love. I will definitely book again in the future! 👏🏼”
“Thank you Kimberly (and family) for taking such great care of Sierra and Sol. Sierra and Sol love being in your home and playing with your dogs. Knowing that they are in good hands, allows us to enjoy our time away. We are very lucky to have found such a caring family.”
“Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.”
“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!”

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.
