“Chris is officially Fiji-approved—and that’s saying a lot, because this Frenchie has standards higher than his ears when he hears the word “treat.” Leaving Fiji for the first time with someone new after years of “Doggy Disney” care by the last amazing family who watched him, had us nervous. Especially with his sensitive back, we were worried Fiji would be hard to handle. Enter Chris: Frenchie friend and all-around rockstar. Not only did he send us updates and photos galore, but he actually asked questions to make sure he was doing everything just right. Honestly, we’re starting to suspect that our next booking with Chris, Fiji will have a better vacation than we will. If this is his new Doggy Disneyland, we’re just glad there isn’t a gift shop because Fiji would totally take advantage. Thank you, Chris, for making this transition smooth, fun, and truly easing our minds. You’ve set the bar sky-high—and Fiji can’t wait for his next stay.”
“Brooklyn enjoyed her stay with Andrew and Karrie over the course of 3 weeks. She spent both days and overnight and we were happy with her care and enjoyed the pictures. We would definitely have Andrew and Karrie watch our fur babies again!”
“Cayley was awesome with Duke and Addie! From her update pics, I could tell they were getting taken care of and were comfortable in her care. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thank you Cayley for taking care of our pups while we were away :)”
“We would 100% recommend Chase for pet sitting. He was so kind and flexible when our plans changed last minute. He sent pictures each day, was able to give her daily medications and overall took very good care of our Millie. He provided a safe and calm home that is very much appreciated. Will use again!”
“Ayni and Alfonsus made a positive impression from the meet and greet. They’ve wanted to check if Chico would get along well with another dog they had committed with. This showed me how much they care for the pet wellbeing. Chico was in great care and I received frequent updates by video and photo along with messages. They were very transparent all the time during our communications and this gave me the confidence to already plan another booking with them. Thank you Ayni and Alfonsus!”
“Kareen was absolutely wonderful with my newly rescued dog, Journey. I had adopted Journey from a rescue only a couple weeks before and, given his behavioral issues, was concerned about how he’d react to a new person. Kareen’s calm and kind manner enabled Journey to feel secure and loved.”
“Ashley cared for our two dogs for an overnight stay and did an awesome job. She communicated well and sent photos of our pups having fun playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Dawn & her family are absolutely incredible dog sitters! This was our second time booking with Dawn, and for a longer trip it was amazing feeling so comfortable that my dog was in great hands the entire time.”
“Neda treated our baby girl like an absolute queen! We reached out to her last minute as our usual dog sitter couldn’t watch Roxy. She agreed to let us meet her beforehand and we brought Roxy too- everyone vibed really well! Neda took Roxy on walks and gave us little updates with photos. You can tell Neda really has a passion for animal care and she treated Roxy like one of her own.”
“Marley really liked Thomas. He took her on walks and sent photos. He kept in touch throughout and gave her the attention that she craves. We will definitely keep Thomas in mind for our next trip”
“Elaine and Marty are wonderful! I travel for work and had been leaving Zoey at a camp. She would come home disheveled, tired and off her schedule. What a difference this time. Zoey was happy, spoilt with attention, ate well and came home clean, undisturbed in her schedule and happy. I felt at peace with no guilt for leaving her. Zoey is very skittish and easily frightened by noise but realized she was safe with her new BFF Elaine. Wonderful people and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Elaine & Marty♥️”
“Brittany took great care of our dogs. One takes meds, and the other is super anxious. Both dogs were well cared for. Brittany walked them and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Highly recommended.”
“Rachel was simply wonderful! She made us neurotic-worried-pet-parents feel comfortable and at ease. She was accommodating and communicative. We would highly recommend her.”
“We are so beyond grateful for April! Our dog Frankie got sick right before our honeymoon, and we were so nervous to leave him. But April went above and beyond—nursing him back to health, making sure he was eating, hydrated, and loved every step of the way. She gave us regular updates, eased our minds, and treated Frankie like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a stressful time. Thank you, April, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🐾💛”
About: So, a little about me, I’m an animal lover and I absolutely love to be around dogs! My husband and had a 5 yr old toy poodle mix that we rescued but she has unfortunately passed! We love our fur babies as much as people love their real babies. I enjoyed taking walks with my dog and just giving her as much love and attention as possible, I’d like to extend that love and care to your pets! I have found myself with a lot of extra free time and would like nothing more than to help care for other people’s pets! I’m a stay at home mom so I’m available most days for feedings and walks as well as runs, dog parks, and any other special requests. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate just about any request in order to give your pet the best care while you’re away. I typically try to follow what your family prefers for keeping your dog safe. Whether that is walking your dog on a leash, going to a fenced in dog park, your own backyard, etc.
“Thank you once again Susan for being there for “Chloe” and our family while we attended our daughter’s out of town wedding. There was so much going on, but one thing we didn’t have to worry about was our little Yorkie’s well being….you are wonderful❣️”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Erika is a wonderful dog sitter! We have left our pup with her several times and do not plan to go to anyone else. She is clearly great with dogs, sends pictures and updates daily, and my shy little dog is always excited to go back.”

Kareen was wonderful with our older labradoodle. Sent photos and updates while we were in our trip and she was so reassuring. Our older pup has several challenges ( hearing and vision impaired) and Kareen was so conscientious about everything. Highly recommend her services!
Travis is an outstanding dog sitter who cares about the dogs that he boards and makes certain that the dogs are safe and secure with other dogs on his property. He is very conscientious by keeping us informed with messages and videos. He is well experienced regarding the behavior of the dogs and their health while boarding in his home. We intend to use Travis in the future and would unequivocally recommend him to other pet owners.
Yidan was very accommodating to our Mochi boy’s needs. She was kind and inviting of her space. She sent wonderful pictures and videos of our dog playing and walking with her dog. She took our boy with very short notice and took very good care of him. We highly recommend Yidan for anyone who needs a kind attentive person who is trustworthy to give care for your furry companions! We would absolutely use her again in the future!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Simi Valley on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,915 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Simi Valley. 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.
94% of Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley.
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 Simi Valley 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.
