“Absolutely top notch care and communication. Our dog is normally very nervous but she had the time of her life playing with other dogs and the whole family. We received messages and photos throughout her stay. Thank you for such great care!”
“Charlie was amazing! He was so nice and made us feel so comfortable. This was the first time my mom left her dog too and she was so nervous but Charlie made everything super easy and our pups came home safe and happy. Will definitely be booking again anytime we need someone to watch our furbabies.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and families for over 10 years. I love all animals and I’m happy to help! I’m in the Navy, but am currently in school as I transition to a new job, so am able to walk or sit all animals. I live in an extremely walkable and friendly neighborhood with a flexible schedule. I’ll also drive to pick up and walk them in your neighborhood.
“Our dog was happy when I picked him up from Hana. We’re so thankful that she was able to keep him as we had an unexpected death in the family and Hana graciously helped us in a bind. She took the time to get to know our boy and sent pictures every day. I’d bring our boy to stay again.”
“Cosmo has been with Dustin and his family four times now and he always loves it! He comes home happy and properly worn out from all the great play time. We can’t imagine taking him anywhere else.”
“Our Frenchie stayed with Adriana and Cameron while we were in NYC for the week. She had the best time. We got 1-3 videos a day of her running around and claiming a stake on their couch :) They accommodated her needing to eat raw food and taking up space in their fridge. They were responsive and helpful and very timely. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience.”
“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.”
“We have been looking for a dog sitter for an upcoming long vacation, and found Tinsika’s experience impressive. We did and a meet and greet with Tinsika and her husband, and felt really positive about how they interacted with our dogs. Despite preparing for their own extended vacation, they were super accommodating and made room in their schedule to care for our boys for an overnight stay (prior to a longer stay). We provided detailed instructions, and they were followed as best as was possible. Our dogs were of course a little nervous for the first night, but when we went to pick them up we could tell they enjoyed spending time with Tinsika and Bob, nuzzling them as they do our own friends and family. We are relieved knowing our boys will be in great hands for a longer stay next time.”
“It is always a pleasure with Monica. I booked with her over 4 times and will continue. She is very kind, patient and understanding to my dog’s needs. Thank you again for your time and helping accommodate me in all my travels. Highly recommend her!”
“We left Maya with Nia for 2 weeks straight, and could not be happier with the entire experience. From her effective communication during the booking process, to her care of Maya, who ended up getting her first heat cycle during her stay with Nia, and the frequent updates and pictures, we felt so glad that Maya was in excellent care. We will for sure continue to ask for help from Nia in the future.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my pup for a week - she made sure to provide lots of pictures, videos, and updates. I could tell my little guy had an absolute blast. I’ll be sure to book again for any extended time out.”
“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”
“Celine had such a great time with Gwen and her family! She loved it so much, she came home and went straight to bed ? Gwen messaged me daily and sent photos often, which made me certain Celine was in good hands Thank you Gwen for taking care of my girl like she is one of your own!”
“Doug and Marisol have taken care of our two dogs, Sugar and Millie, several times over the last year. Most recently, this month, they took care of them when we went away on vacation for two weeks. We had no worries at all while we were gone because we knew they were in loving, capable hands. Doug always sends pictures of the pups every day, showing them having fun on their walks. Both of our dogs love their stays with Doug and Marisol and are excited to see them. We can’t speak highly enough of Doug as our Dogsitter.”
“Julia kept our senior pug for nearly 2 weeks and took great care of her! She was quick to communicate, provided lots of updates and was flexible with us when we returned a day early from our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“When I picked up my Yorkie, Yuiza, she was so comfortable in Pilar's arms—it was such a cute memory! Pilar was incredibly communicative and responsive, ensuring Yuiza received her medicines and food right on time. I truly appreciated the regular updates and pictures. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone I know.”
“Luke and his partner we absolutely wonderful watching Oliver. They provided consistent updates on feeding, potty breaks, and play time with lots of pictures showing Oliver was happy and safe! I highly recommend Luke and the accommodations him and his partner provides. They will tailor any special needs your pet provide and your bet will have ample companionship and yard time to play with other dogs staying with them. Please look no further and reach out to Luke for your pet boarding needs. I will definitely be a repeat customer again!”

Kept my pup safe and sound while we were out of town! Sent regular updates and followed some kind of weird feeding instructions to keep my dog healthy. My flight home got delayed and they were incredibly flexible with my changing schedule, which I really appreciated.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,096 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.
