“5 stars is not nearly enough! We are so excited to have found Dustin on rover. He and his wife are amazing and attentive sitters who made the whole process so easy! They have a great house and backyard with kind and considerate personalities to match. It was so much easier to go on vacation knowing our "high energy" furball would be well taken care of and loved. We found our new go-to dog sitters!”
“Irene was wonderful with my little guy, Taz. He can be difficult for new people, but Irene and her sweet dog won him over and made him feel at home. I could tell from the photo updates that he was happy, and that was a relief while I was away. Irene was easy to communicate with and took the time to ask detailed questions about what my dog needed. I would love to have Taz stay with her again when the need arises!”
“Nia was such a joy to work with! She communicated with us so well and sent us many pictures of our puppy while we were out of town. She gave us updates on how poppy was doing and our pick up and drop offs were so easy. We travel fairly often for work and will definitely be reaching out to Nia again for future visits!”
“We boarded our dog Mango with Hana and she took very good care of him! He got a lot of exercise- going on walks, hikes, playing with other dogs. Overall he seems to have had a great time there 😊 She also makes sure to send videos and pictures frequently to keep us updated!”
“Destiny is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever left cannoli with!!! Her communication was incredible. She sent plenty of updates and I could tell in all the photos that cannoli was very comfortable and happy ☺️ I’d absolutely feel comfortable leaving him with her again”
“We dropped off our 3 pups for one night and they were happy, healthy pups when we picked them up. ? This is a big deal, because our dogs have never been left with a non-family member. Charlie is good about sending pics and answering any messages you send his way. We’re leaving them with Charlie again for a week in November and I know they’ll all be well taken care of.”
“Stephanie and Benjamin were amazing sitters. I left Quill with them while I traveled for work and they made sure to always keep me up to date on how Quill was doing. I also loved that they had enough space for Quill to run around and play. Will definitely use their services again.”
“My dog was so so happy the whole time of my vacation it’s like my nova (dog) she had her own vacation with this sitter honestly she was great sent me updates and pictures everyday and was also super nice and flexible when I was a whole day late for pickup one of the best sitters on here and my dog is not no little thing she’s a big girl so I’m honestly impressed she was able to handle my dog like she did 11 out of 10 experience will most definitely be booking with her again anytime I need.(:”
“Brian and his wife, Adriana, are fantastic—we would give more stars if we could! We needed a sitter for Penny and Goose on short notice and, to our luck, Brian had availability and was so responsive that we were able to squeeze in a meet-and-greet and schedule the booking with him in the short time before our trip. While we were away, Brian sent daily updates and pictures of their day with Penny and Goose, and even tried to help Penny through a limp she got just before our trip. He was also so kind to buy extra food pouches for our dogs. Brian and Adriana have a quiet, calm, and peaceful home, and their warm and friendly demeanor quickly won over our little guy, Goose, who can sometimes be standoffish around new humans. Brian and Adriana truly treated Penny and Goose like their own, I don’t think even they wanted to leave when it was time to go home :) 10/10 recommend and will book, again!! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!!!”
“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“Ana was the absolute best. She updated me frequently with pictures and videos. She took such good care of my dog, was flexible and patient. I would trust her with my dog anytime!”
“Kimberly was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and bonded great with our dogs! She was an incredible sitter for us, we'd love to book her again and would highly recommend her to to anyone looking for a sitter in the San Diego neighborhood!”
“Carolina was just so wonderful to my senior pup. I took a vacation that had me very nervous leaving my little boy for so long.. but carolina really put me at ease that he was in good hands. She updated me daily with wonderful videos and Pics of my boy immediately after dropping him off. She treated my pup like one of her own and I could see in the videos and pictures that he was on his own little vacation with her. I honestly cant thank her enough for treating my pup so well and as if he was part of her family.... wonderful first time using rover and she exceeded my expectations of this app and her care for my doggo. Highly recommend her. Wonderful positive experience!!!”
“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“I have used Adam for both day care and overnight care for my two dogs. My dogs love going to Adam’s. Adam is reliable and does a great job with my dogs while they are in his care. He is very attentive with the dogs and sends updates frequently. He is also very responsive and quick when it comes to communication.”
“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!”

Many thanks to Adriana & Cameron. We left our 9 month old Labrador puppy with them for a long stay (12 days) while we were on vacation. I was worried how our little girl would do away for so long and the photos and videos showing her playing with other dogs eased my mind. Our puppy had a nice stay and we appreciate it.
Cheryl is Great! She sends cute photos daily showing me that my pup Sophie is happy and well taken care of. Cheryl only sits small dogs, so I don't have to worry about big dogs possibly getting too rough with my little one. :-) After time with Cheryl, Sophie comes home happy and content.
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!
Angela is wonderful! She treats any dog in her care with love, gives attention, and supplies the dog owner with updates + photos. Our dogs almost don't want to leave because they are sooo happy. I highly highly recommend Angela for day care and boarding. It is such a relief to know that my dogs are loved and cared for while I'm out of town. I think she under charges, so I always give a nice tip:)
Tammy won my heart the moment I saw her photos with her Boxer, Max. We struggled this year to find the right “Vacation Mama” for our Boxer, Vito, over Christmas and New Year’s — and Tammy (plus Max!) turned out to be the perfect match!!! We had to travel overseas, and she kept us updated the whole time with photos and sweet messages. Vito got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and all the love he’s used to at home. When we picked him up, he looked happy and well cared for! We’re incredibly grateful for Tammy and Max. They made our holiday travel worry‑free, and Vito can’t wait to visit again.
I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! From the moment I left my dog, she treated her like family. My dog is like one of my kids, so I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. The daily photos showed my baby looking relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Her dogs were friendly and immediately got along with mine, creating a calm and happy environment. This was especially helpful for my dog, who is an only dog at home. The entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely reliable. Her communication was clear, and it’s evident that she has a real gift for understanding animals and making them feel safe. I would book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to stay in a home that truly pays attention and cares.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Santee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santee on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,169 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.
96% 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.
