“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Madison and Moses. We were concerned about having our anxious dog dog-sat during our vacation, but after meeting them we were reassured and were able to have a great relaxing vacation without any concern. They were very responsive to all of our questions and provided updates throughout their stay. Highly recommend. We plan to use them again for future vacations.”
“It was our first time leaving our dogs with a pet sitter, one of which is a puppy so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Cameron was great, sending updates each day, I could see the dogs were doing well and having fun. Was an easy process. I’m happy to know I now have a place to bring dogs too that’s safe and fun for them.”
“This was my first time using Rover in addition to having someone I didn’t know watch my dog and I have to say I had a great experience. Makayla was a dream to find, she had great communication, sent me updates and photos and genuinely cared for my Baloo. I knew as soon as I met her Baloo was going to be in good hands and you can tell how much she loves animals. I will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend enough.”
“Cheryl is great with our dog. Love how she shares photos and videos of her during her stay. I almost hate to admit that she is great because I don’t want competition with booking her when we need her.”
“Cerita & Saeid were amazing sitters for our pups!! We were nervous leaving them since it was our first time, but Cerita made us feel so comfortable & confident once we met. 🥹 Our dogs loved their stay with them and had so much fun playing with the other pups. 🐶 We got so many picture and video updates throughout their stay with them. They are truly the best and we are so grateful for our experience with them! 🫶🏼”
“Whitney was amazing!!! She went above and beyond for me and king. I highly recommend her to everyone. She is great and king was happy and tired. He’s still sleeping ?”
“It was our first time with Taylor and Andrew and our first time leaving Buddy for vacay. While we were gone we received pics and updates everyday on how he was doing. He enjoyed his with time with his new friends Stella and Lucy. We will definitely take him back here for any upcoming travels.”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Amber and the family made Cali feel like a member of the family. From the start the technique used to introduce her dogs To Cali was great. Received daily updates and photos. Already have a couple more stays booked.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Savannah! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our Princess Aurora was happy, comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Her kindness, professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stood out. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. The communication was excellent, and the attention and affection they provided made all the difference. She treated our dog like part of their own family! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking again. 🐾❤️”
“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.”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Eden was wonderful and kind during our meet and greet! She took it slow with saying hello to our pups and having one of her dogs be the ambassador in meeting our pups. She paid attention to our concerns and the quirks of our pups - even implementing some adjustments to the space when they had their first daycare there. Truly appreciate how communicative she was, and how she wanted to ensure the pups were comfortable in the space”
“Carolina is a such a wonderful sitter, her care and attention is evident from the initial messages to drop off, all throughout the stay and pick up. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup.”
“So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”

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!

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.
95% of sitters in Santee 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
