“Ellen did an excellent job boarding my dog over the weekend! She was available on short notice and extremely communicative throughout the stay. Banjo seemed to have a great time and would love to come back in the future :)”
About: Dogs have always been family to me. After 16 wonderful years with my own beloved dog, I understand the love and trust every pet deserves. As a mom of three, I provide a safe, caring, family-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and updates while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care. I'm available for dog walks daily between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, including weekends. I also offer boarding in a safe, loving, family-friendly home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise, and a clean, comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. Because I work from home, your pup will receive plenty of attention throughout the day, along with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible and provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're happy and well cared for.
“My dog had such a great weekend with Jenni and Sawyer. I got daily updates with pics/videos and a description of their day. It's so nice to be able to go out of town and not worry about my dog. I would definitely use Jenni as a sitter again!”
“Jasmine was a great sitter for Bella! She was great at communicating, sent us photos, and was so sweet with our senior fur baby. She also was very through in figuring out what she needs, and was able to supply her with anything we forgot to bring. We definitely recommend her!”
“Miguel was great to work with! Kept us informed as well as quick to respond to any questions or comments from us.. We recommend Miguel to anyone who needs pup sitter!”
“Coco was happy, safe and well taken care of at Bradley's house for 5 nights while we attended wedding celebrations in Santa Barbara. Bradley greeted us as we dropped off Coco; he was warm, friendly and kind to Coco; and we received photos of her regularly. Coco had a chance to hang out with other gentle dogs -- she went for walks and enjoyed sniffing around the grassy lawn. Bradley greeted us when we picked her up at the end of her stay. We would feel very happy to leave Coco with Bradley again if the opportunity arose. Thank you!!”
“Our fur babies stayed with Alexandra and Billy during our vacation in Santa Barbara. They were very accommodating during our time there. We were able to pick our pups, spend time with them and drop them off again. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely contact them again on future visits to the area.”
“Angelin was great, I’d definitely book with her again. She kept me updated with messages and photos and was really flexible with drop-off and pick-up. My dog can take a little time to warm up in new situations, but she connected with him quickly and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the whole time.”
About: Hi, I’m Valentina!! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience dog sitting, walking, playing, and doing overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m active and outdoorsy, so I’m always happy to go on walks and adventures, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home, playing, or keeping your pet company while they relax. In my free time, I love surfing, working out, going to the beach, and camping.. so being outside is definitely my happy place! I’m also a designer and naturally creative, kind, and always optimistic. 💛 Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and overnight care. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, love, and company. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet, including crating, feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty routines, and any household rules. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love!
“Honey was incredible with Cooper! She kept me well updated and helped Cooper face some of his fears, kept him engaged and active and totally happy. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving him and would gladly have him stay with her again.”
“Lynn and Marty did a great job with Milo :) I had a last minute trip to Santa Barbara and they were very accommodating. I received consistent updates and photos throughout the day and Milo had a great time playing in their backyard. Will definitely book again!”

“As our first Rover experience, Lauren exceeded every expectation. She is smart, kind, extremely responsible, and took excellent care of our dog Buddy. Lauren sent us videos and updates so we never had to worry about how Buddy was doing. I heartily recommend Lauren to anyone needing dog care. We are so happy we have found her!!”
“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”
“Courtney was amazing—very communicative, sent frequent updates and photos, and made me feel confident my dog was in great hands. She’s friendly, attentive, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. Highly recommend!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Summerland on Rover is $83.25 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 390 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Summerland. 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.
98% of Summerland 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 Summerland 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 Summerland 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 Summerland.
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 Summerland 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.
