“After using 4 or 5 rover petsitters we almost gave up finding our dog a suitable person. Then we came across sd happypawz. Cameron and Adriana are the best. They are experienced and professional. Thank you again for taking such a good care of Taco. The communication was fast and reliable. Videos sent every day. No issues. Very easy pick up and drop off. We 100% wholeheartedly recommend Cameron and Adriana. Well spent money!!!”
“Dustin took a great care of our dog Taco. We recommend him as a dog sitter. He sent us photos of our doggo many times a day. That was very nice. Our dog was very happy during and after the stay at Dustin's.”
“I was a little scarred with my first booking on rover, but then I found Madison and I’m so happy I did! They were so kind, always kept me updated with photos and videos, showed me the area where the dogs would play before dropping my baby off, and even accommodated a last minute extra night. Will be booking with them again! 💙💙💙”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Eden was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my pups while I was out of town and made them feel loved and comfortable. She consistently kept me updated with photos and videos. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I will immediately just start off by saying Cheryl was fantastic!! From the beginning of the process until the pickup our family member Cheryl was caring, professional, and worked with us so well on such short notice. She kept us up how our dog was doing, took pictures, fed her a nice meal, and even combed her for us. I thought it was because Cheryl liked us, but I have a feeling this is just who she is; and that is who we were looking for. Cheryl was a dream, and I can't recommend her highly enough. We will for sure go through her going forward! Thanks Cheryl!!”
“Savannah was fantastic! We were looking for a sitter where our pup could have his own space and Savannah went above and beyond with him. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures and our boy came back very happy from his time at Savannah’s. We will definitely be using her as a sitter in the future!”
“Whitney did it again! We chose to go with her again because of her awesome care the first time around. She took care of our baby as if she was her own and we are so grateful. We feel like Whitney has earned our trust and we will definitely hope she’s available the next time around because as nerve racking as it is to place your animal in someone else’s hands, Whitney made me feel comfortable and sent me lots of cute pics along the way which I love! Thank you so much Whitney you’re the best!!!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
About: My name is Tony, better known as Philly. I am a professional dog trainer and also provide boarding. I have always had animals in the house growing up, however, dogs have always been the closest to my heart. I love going to the dog park, beach, even an empty field to play fetch. I have various enrichment activities that will keep your pup occupied while in my care, as well as, a number of cots for those relaxing moments. I have 2 personal pups; Stella, a 7yro Blue Pit and Bagheera, a 2yro Cane Corso. Both are trained and love to play. Any further questions, please simply ask! I do this as a profession so I'm home often. Day starts at 6a for the pups. Potty breaks, breakfast, digestion, play, leash training and decompress/relax. Throughout their stay we go on various walks (group and individual), depending on the weather, we will hit the park for some leg stretching or a simple 2-5mi walk, which is more for my exercise 😅 I have an enclosed backyard with tug toys, flirt sticks, water bowls and various other treats and chew toys. I have a huge garage with industrial fans and industrial exhaust to regulate the room. Theres also a thermostat for added piece of mind.
“Linda Jean is everything you could hope for in a Rover sitter. She took wonderful care of Lucy and gave detailed updates along with photos. Lucy was happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We’d love to have Linda Jean sit for us again.”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. So glad to have found you! You deserve this review. Saddaf took amazing care of my dog for an overnight stay and made the entire process incredibly easy and reassuring from start to finish while I was out on my trip. She was warm, attentive, responsible, sent me updates and pics, and genuinely was caring towards my dog. It was obvious that she treated him like he was her own. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Saddaf was also outstanding with communication and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. It’s pretty rare to find someone you can trust so quickly with a pet you care about like family, but Saddaf is absolutely one of those people and it made me feel relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again (and will be) and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely wonderful with animals. Five stars from me. Thank you Saddaf”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santee
My girl Rory was well taken care of this past week by McKenna, including grooming services today! She was very happy when I picked her up and tired from all of the playtime with her friends! They sent me pictures and videos during her stay and she looked like she had a great time and got along well with the other pups. I was able to have peace of mind and enjoy my trip knowing my girl was well cared for.
Saddaf was amazing with my little dog Ollie! She asked lots of great questions to make sure he was comfortable and kept his routine well! Her updates were so helpful and made me feel so relaxed while my dog was with her. I will be using her services again as I really appreciated the care she gave my dog and he had a great time staying with her.
Kristina boarded our senior chihuaua for 7 nights and we are so thankful for her help. She took in Skippy last minute and did such an amazing job caring for him. We started with a quick meet and greet to make sure our anxious little guy was a good match. She was so attentive to our requests, followed all of our instructions, sent pics and video, and answered our messages promptly. Our family was able to have a relaxing vacation knowing he was in good hands. Our pup can be very clingy and anxious. But she went above and beyond to make Skippy feel comfortable. I'm so happy we found Kristina!
Barbra and her girls wonderful! This was our dog's first time staying overnight with them and they were so patient and understanding while he warmed up to staying in a new place. They made him feel welcome and gave him lots of love and attention. Thank you, Barbra!
Bianca and her family are amazing!!! So great that I almost didn’t want to write this so I could gate-keep them!! I had to leave my guy to go out of state for a wedding and I’m usually a mess about it but I felt completely relaxed and comfortable this time. Bianca communicated well and I could tell how much they were loving on him. It allowed me to fully enjoy my trip which was priceless. He will be back, he was so comfortable with them. Such a great experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santee on Rover is $48.84 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 4,133 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santee. 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.
95% of Santee 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 Santee 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 Santee 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 Santee.
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 Santee 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.
