“Ivy was amazing with Boomer. We had a last minute change in the schedule and she accommodated us right away, made special arrangements to have Boomer dropped off so we can make our flight. She sent us lots and lots of pictures and videos of Boomer all the time, and they always put a smile on the kids’ faces! We will most definitely use Ivy again, and refer her to all of our family and friends!”
“Had our 5 month old golden doodle stay with Robert for an entire week while we were out on vacation and we feel great that our pup was very well taken cared of. Robert sent us daily videos and photos without even asking. He was also given walks and played with other dogs that Robert was caring for. Thank you again Robert for making sure our pup was well fed, happy and taken cared of while we were away! We won’t hesitate to send our pup there again! ?”
“I have two French bulldogs, and I have been using Walley and Ann for about almost two years now! My first frenchie has been seeing them for two years and has loved being in their company as well as their home. We got another frenchie who is gonna be one next month and they have been caring for him since he was four months old last year, and he’s such a handful with puppy energy however they always welcome my second pup as much as my first one! I don’t trust anyone else but them caring for my pups that mean everything to us and I am so thankful for the communication they provide to our pups while we have to go away for either vacation and or for work. I highly recommend them to anyone and my love ones who also have pups that are in need of a sitter. I won’t go to anyone else cause that’s how much confidence I have in them caring for my kids. Thank you Walley and Ann for everything! ❤️”
“Such a great sitter ! His dogs played well with my small dog. Basillio also had so many thing on hand: cage, poop bags, toys such an easy drop off ! He also sent pictures through out my doggies stay and he was so accommodating ! He's my go to sitter !”
“Our dog really enjoyed her time there. We received daily updates with pictures and videos from Rachel. Our dog came back happy and well-taken care of. We will definitely book Rachel and Preston's services next time we are in need of a dog-sitter!!”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
“Rover / Laura & Brian After a last minute rescheduling, we needed to find a trustworthy sitter for our fur-babies. However no family or friends were available on such short notice of only a few weeks, leaving us worried and cornered into venturing to find a stranger to watch the most important things we love… our quiet 10 yr old 12 lb Pomchi, and goofy 80 lb Boxer/Staffy. Having 2 pups that are so different, but so GOOD and SPECIAL makes it so hard to find someone that WE feel can understand and appreciate their precious personalities. After Laura & Brian we’re gracious enough to allow us to introduce the pups to them beforehand (On Dodger Day, no less!), we found our boys to not only be comfortable, but excited! Laura explained how they watch and protect the little one, while also being completely capable with handling my goofy Boxer. Brian came out and my boxer who can be protective, immediately realized he was safe. During our trip we received photos and videos of our boys having the best week vacation, with new fur-friends and human-family. Feeling confident with a family we had just met with our babies was just an absolute blessing. When we came back to pick our babies up, not only did they not want to immediately leave, but Bowzer showed signs of guarding his “new family”. 😭🤣😅 Being able to trust strangers, LAST MINUTE that are so sweet and attentive to our babies was such a blessing/lucky/whatever you want to say. My dogs are my life. While leaving them is never easy, Laura and Brian made it as easy as possible. I think that we can start feeling more confident when we need to have our babies watched, and we are so so thankful!!! 💜👾🙏🏼”
“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 😁💙”
“Kevin's and his family did such an awesome job with meeting, boarding, walking and caring for Charlie! He really enjoyed being there too. Great experience for all involved. Would definitely use him in the future!”
“Ilona took great care of my two senior Labs. One has to take multiple medications throughout the day and Ilona was willing to take on the added work. She sent pics most everyday of the dogs looking relaxed and happy. thanks Ilona - great job!”
“This was our first time leaving Lilo, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We were a little nervous at first, but Susana quickly put us at ease with regular updates, adorable photos, and so much love, personalized care and attention for our pup. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She truly went above and beyond, and we’re incredibly grateful. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“they are wonderful! really nice people who loves pets and it shows :) they took really good care of my senior pup and she loves them too! they always keep me updated with lots and lots of photos and videos which I absolutely love :)”
“Kodi loves Brenda her family, and her dog Leeloo. He's always reluctant to leave them. She's so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend her boarding.”
“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.”
“Candy was great. I felt she really cared about my pup and wanted to do the absolute best job she could. She was very attentive and sent me daily updates while I was out of town. I had some special requests and she was very willing to accommodate me. Most importantly, I truly felt like my pup was in safe hands and that was key for me to have a relaxing vacation... which I did. Thanks again Candy! ”
“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.😊”
“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.”

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 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 7,985 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.
