“Bayn (cat) was well-taken care of when he was boarding at Leslie’s place. Leslie was easy to coordinate with and was very proactive in sharing daily updates on Bayn. Would definitely use Leslie’s service again!”
“Cooper had so much fun with Erica and Felipe! We will definitely use them again. We had daily updates with pictures and Cooper was having a blast the entire time we were gone.”
“Loree is Isla's home away from home. Not only is Loree caring and kind but she truly loves her fur babies and the ones in her care. We were gone for 21 days... the love she showed the pics she sent... she is a blessing... not only for Isla but us as well.”
“Best boarding experience we could ever ask for! Rachel and Charles were super attentive to Bustelo's needs and my concerns. They sent updates and pictures multiple times per day, and provides lots of positive feedback on Bustelo's behavior. I was pleased to see they took him out to the nearby harbor and even to run errands. I would 100% rebook and recommend them to my friends needing to board their dogs in the Oceanside/Camp Pendleton area. Thank you, both!!!”
“Jim was a Great babysitter for my Dog. This was my first time being away from my dog and with a new person. Jim had a great introduction with my Dog when we first met and I think it made a great difference when dropping him off, he wasnt stressed he was happy to go with him. Jim was very responsive and very flexible. He kept me updated and sent me cute pics on how he was doing.”
“Susan and Richard were excellent sitters for our Milo. Very dependable with their updates and Susan remembers all the little details from prior boarding sessions. Also, they have a great home with a beautiful yard for your dogs. Highly recommended!”
About: I've done pet sitting throughout my life as well as a 20 year cat owner. Our cat just passed and we are really missing having an animal in the house. Our home always has humans roaming around. We have different schedules and our 2 teenage children are homeschooling so there is always energy and fun. Our downstairs is hardwood so there would be no problems with accidents or allergens, there would also be ample space and a beautiful, enclosed yard.
“Misha had a fantastic time with Anna and her family. She treated Misha like her own pup and he got lots of love while we were away. We will not hesitate to book with Anna again when we go out of town. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“We had such a great experience! lovely family and a beautiful home. Curley had so much fun during his stay and came back happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be bringing him back soon!”
About: Hi, I'm Rich, for the past 25 years I've always had 2 small dogs in my home. I'm in the Ivey Ranch area and am available for dog walks up to 90 lbs., or for a house sitting. I work from home and have a flexible schedule the entire week, and I can likely accommodate any complex scheduling or house sitting request. Feel free to ask. I treat everybody's pet and home with respect, care, courtesy, and professionalism. I can handle any feeding or oral medication giving schedule to meet your pet's needs.
“Words cannot express enough how much I appreciate Cassandra and her roommates. After the original person I booked through went MIA, I reached out to Cassandra frantically! She responded within moments and took Milo sight unseen. She sent me pictures nightly before bed (my favorite time with my dog) and let me know how he was doing. When I arrived home earlier than thought, she was willing to try and work things out so I could have my buddy home with me earlier than we originally planned. When that didn't work out, she called me right away in the morning so I could pick him up. She said she was so glad I didn't pick him up while she was out the night before because she really loved him and wanted to say goodbye. Already planning on booking with Cassandra for two future trips I have coming up!”
“Kim was so great! She really went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable. I have an older senior rescue dog and Kim was very attentive to her needs and her meds. I knew my dog was in good hands with her!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and love friendly furries. I’ve dog sit for friends and family and now venturing out! I have a loveable almost 3 year old, high energy playful Huskey Shepard mix and an outdoor cat who is 8 years old who could care less when other pups come over as he naps outside all day. My husky loves to play with other dogs and I will use positive reinforcement to help both settle during your pups boarding stay. Treats, toys and a large backyard for plenty of running room and play. Hi there! 🐾 I’m a Marketing Manager with a flexible hybrid work schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home with your pups while pet sitting. When I go into the office, I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, stretch their legs, and play with plenty of toys. For overnight stays, I’m happy to crate pups or follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime preferences. I’ll do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Before your pet’s stay, I’ll make sure to learn about their personality, habits, favorite activities, dietary needs, and any special care instructions. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and patience throughout their stay. 🐶❤️ I live in a quiet community on a culd-de-sac and really large safe fenced in yard. I have a 3 year old husky Shepard dog (super friendly with other animals) and an outdoor friendly, but lazy cat Gizmo who is not phased by new furry faces.
“I was nervous about trying a sitter that I didn't personally know but my nerves settled quickly. Travis and Loren treated Milo like he was part of the family. He loved the attention he received from them as well as their little ones. Their dog and Milo became friends. It was great receiving pics and videos of Milo and his new friends. They made me feel great about him being away from me and he really enjoyed being with them. I will definitely consider them my number one choice if I need to board Milo or send Milo for doggy daycare. I really appreciate how well cared for Milo was and thank you again so much for loving on my baby!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
My pup had a wonderful time! They took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. I really appreciated the communication and the love and attention they gave him. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you both so much! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and trustworthy people to look after their furry family members!
Anna is a rockstar! We had to kinda scramble a bit to find a trustworthy sitter to watch our boys during our trip since our family that we typically rely on was unavailable. She was so easy to communicate with, fast to respond, and consistently updated us with photos. We are so lucky to have found her. Anna will absolutely be our new go to sitter from now on and I highly recommend her!
Loree is a gem! She truly loves the dogs in her care, and Murphy was very well taken care of during his stay. This was his first time staying with her (being a newly adopted member of our family) and we're already booking with her for the next stay. Thank you, Loree, for giving Murphy a good home away from home, and us peace of mind during our travels!
I was very impressed by Weirong and his level of care for our two pups. He was excellent at taking pictures every day and following up as necessary while we were on vacation. Our pups always looked excited and happy to be taken care of. I would highly recommend Weirong if you would like to have your fur baby taken on long walks or just able to lounge in the backyard or around the house.
Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with my two huskies, Lobo and Cece! Our pups stayed with them for two nights, and we received multiple updates throughout their stay. They were responsive and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would definitely have them watch them again!
Sarah is AMAZING and should definitely have 5 stars. She took the best care of my dog Juno for almost 2 weeks and Juno didn’t want to leave when I went to pick her up. Great communicator and you can tell how much she loves animals. Will be booking again and would recommend her to anyone
Daniel was great! He checked in with pictures and updates, was communicative and our fur babies came back home happy. Its hard to find someone reliable for our Cane Corso because not many people have confidence with the breed, but Daniel was great, an Alpha pet care giver. Highly recommend!
My dog Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Jessica! He is a senior dog and had a few needs that other dogs might not have and she was sure to pay close attention to those needs and take great care of him! He got walks, fed, he had a play buddy, and I got plenty of updates and pictures as to how he was doing. He always looked happy! I will definitely book Jessica again if I were you I would too!
Third time with Gina and Brian and Poppy can’t get enough. Updates on a daily basis with the most adorable photos. They take the best care of her and take so much stress off of me and Poppy both! Thank you both for being such wonderful dog people. Poppy and I both look forward to the next time! 🩷

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in San Luis Rey can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Luis Rey 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 San Luis Rey.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Luis Rey. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your San Luis Rey 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
