“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“Basilio is truly amazing. From the very first moment and in a complicated situation for us, we felt that Basilio was the right person to entrust our Zoe in her first experience without us. Basilio always had the best comments and advice for better care of Zoe, he made an effort to provide her with an adequate environment so that Zoe felt at home. He even gradually tried to improve the way Zoe socialized with both people and dogs. In addition, he always tried to maintain regular communication to inform us how Zoe was doing, always sending us photos and videos of her adaptation. I can say without fear of being wrong that Zoe found her angel in Basilio and someone we definitely recommend with our eyes closed. Basilio will always go the extra mile to give your furry children the best care and attention they deserve! He will ALWAYS be the best decision for your pet's care! Basilio, we are infinitely grateful for everything you have done for both Zoe and us and we will definitely trust you again to take care of our beloved Zoe and we hope to be able to meet again so that Zoe doesn't miss you too much! Zoe says: "Greetings to Uncle Basilio"!”
“Robert was wonderful with my pups! They can be a handful, but he was so patient with them. I was only out of town for a couple of days but Robert checked in every chance he got. I'm so grateful for his services. Thank you so much Robert!”
“OUTSTANDING care for you fur babies!!! Walley and Anne provided excellent love, care, and attention for our dog, Shawnee. This was our first time having Shawnee away from us on a trip. We were out for nine days, so were a bit apprehensive about staying away so long for his first sitting. After talking with Walley and Anne and meeting them with Shawnee at our greet, I knew we made the best decision. They are very loving and professional pet parents themselves and extend this to all other visiting pets. They spent time getting to know Shawnee and what his needs and routines are, food, supplements, playtime, sleep, potty, and overall temperament, habits, and interests. Their goal was to provide the best home away from home for him with safety first. Walley and Anne took time to give me daily updates and photos of Shawnee which is lovely to receive. Our kids looked forward to opening up our messages. Shawnee made friends and had great social time, too. We will definitely be back with Walley and Anne for anytime needed away. We are so happy we found them and feel great that Shawnee will be with the best care during our next trip. Thank you Walley and Anne!!! ??❤️”
“Alexis was fabulous. 10 stars. This was the first time using the app and she was the first person I found. She was very responsive and we had very clear communications. The first day my two pups went to her house they were clearly not happy when I dropped them off but then I started getting photos of how well they were integrating. She walked them, loved them and when I took them back the second day they were reaching for her when I went to go hand her the dogs. She had a clean home and the experience was just amazing. I would highly recommend Alexis for all your doggy needs. She was great.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“We had a two trips in Dec and left Jax with Skylar. It seems that Jax had a fantastic time with her. Skylar is an excellent communicator; she not only sent us daily photos and of Jax but also kept us updated on how he was doing. I am very pleased with her and will definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Laura and Brian are amazing! My dog got hurt just before I had to go away and I felt so comfortable and confident in leaving my dog with them and that she would be taken care of, safe, and happy! My dog sees going to Laura’s house as a fun trip and is excited to go!”
“A great experience that was easy, flexible, worry and stress-free. Amon and Adam work from home and adore doggies and treat them as their own. Our pup had loads of human and happy pup interaction. Plus, sunshine, backyard sniffing and neighborhood walks outside. Inside filled with cozy beds and fuzzy blankets. Looking forward to Phoebe’s next stay.”
“Hasmik was great. I had never left my baby with anyone. She took such good care of him that he didn't even miss his mom and dad. He is our first (human or otherwise) so we were very nervous. She sent lots of photos and put my mind at ease. She will be my go to sitter.😊”
“Ilona was very calm and sweet at drop off. She took really good care of Choo Choo. She got him to eat which is quite a chore. She sent me pictures during his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“Maria took great care of my two dogs. She was incredibly patient and caring. Her two dogs are the most welcoming and friendliest dogs. Great communication, listened and understood my concerns/instructions. I would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Susana is simply the best. She is so communicative, always sends us plenty of photos, and is flexible with us if we need to shift drop off or pickup times. We've never had a better boarding experience. She is extremely trustworthy and the dogs always seem like they've had a great time when we pick them up.”
“Absolutely loving & caring! Anhdao was so friendly from the beginning. We received daily updates with photos, and Dexter seemed very happy staying there. Kingston, their dog, seemed so friendly as well. It felt like Dexter had his own vacation! Will definitely recommend.”
“Bernadette was the best. She was so attentive, careful and caring towards my 16yo bella. She provided daily updates and my dog kept her weight while I was away. Which let me know she was really comfortable in Bernadettes home and ate all her food. Bella will visiting her again soon :)”
“Candy took great care of my nervous pup Molly, very kindly accommodated my quirky schedule, and even provided some super helpful tips and gear for me as a new pet owner. Her gentle Viszla Cleo was a great influence and company for Molly too. The backyard and sunroom are a fantastic space. Highly, highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog (Eeva) in another home. We were nervous and unsure if we were making the right decision. Earl and Katherine are very professional and responsible. They made us feel at ease at all times. They are pros and very knowledgeable when it comes to proper dog care. They kept us updated on Eeva’s activities and behavior. We’re are extremely, grateful and feel blessed to have now great dog sitter! We received many pictures while we were on vacation. Eeva always looked happy and relaxed; it was a mini vacation for Eeva too. She got to socialize and play. Earl and Katherine are true animal lovers! They took excellent care of Eeva, like she was their own. We will be using them again in the future. Thanks again guys!! ?”
“Brenda gives daily updates and photos. She provided great communication and exercise for Kodi. Kodi got along great with her husky, Leeloo. I hated to separate him from his new friends. I will use her services again. I highly recommend Brenda.”

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.
I was sent pictures through out Aces stay and it’s safe to say he looked very comfortable. Typically if he’s scared and feeling anxious he’s not very active but he was playing with the ball and exploring the new grass areas at his stay. Thank you so much! We will be back.
Ivy took wonderful care of Willow last weekend. She was very responsive to all my questions and always replied quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the 2–3 photo updates each day — it meant a lot to see Willow comfortable and happy. I truly felt that Willow was safe and well cared for in their home. Thank you, Ivy, for treating her like family. 💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sylmar on Rover is $49.95 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 7,836 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sylmar. 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 Sylmar 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 Sylmar 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 Sylmar 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 Sylmar.
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 Sylmar 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.
