“Susan is an absolute incredible person. She loves what she does and you can see that. Our little Buffy loves to be with Susan. I’m so glad we met you and we will continue to come back ❤️”
“Our two dogs (small, Japanese Chin, one elderly) love visiting Nicole, and start getting excited on the drive there. She takes wonderful care of them, and I will always recommend her to others.”
“Excellent first booking with Kevin! Our pup was well loved and photos sent during our travels were much appreciated. Our dog came home very happy and exhausted from his fun stay. Communication with Kevin was very responsive and he runs a super reliable boarder! Thank you so much, Kevin! We look forward to booking with you soon!”
“My chunky boy, Titan had a great time with Ori. He stayed with her for 3days. She was giving me updates and sending me pictures of my boy. She made sure that my Titan was in good hands. Will definitely bring him back. I picked him up today and he is dogged out. He had so much fun with his pawfriends. Highly recommended.”
“Thank you so much to Renata and her family for looking after our 1 year old Chihuahua-mix named Sydney. We are not used to leaving her since she is so young, so I was very sad and anxious. It was our first time using Rover and any service like this. Reneta kindly offered a free meet-and-greet so Sydney could briefly get to know her house, yard, and pets. While we were on a 4-night vacation, we got tons of updates and pictures from Renata! Renata was kind enough to let Sydney sleep in her bed, and I am sure Sydney sometimes woke her for some late-night potty times. Renata also mentioned Sydney got better at playing and socializing with her own dogs, as well as the dog she cares for during her doggy daycare. I would 100% recommend her, and I certainly intend to use her services again soon! It's so nice to know as a new dog mommy that I can have the freedom to travel and truly know my baby is taken care of. Sydney seems happy too - its as if her eyes ar saying "Wow! I had a great time!" She had her only little adventure while we were adventuring! THANK YOU, RENATA!”
“Dana is fantastic. My wife and I are a first time rover users, who were in a pinch and had to travel across the country at the last minute. Dana was able to accommodate us and looked after our best pal Blanche for 6 nights. While we were gone, Blanche made some new four legged friends and received exceptional care--Dana was so kind as to send multiple photo and video updates each day we were gone (which my wife LOVED). I'm hoping to switch Blanche over for Doggy Day Care once we run out of days at our current spot. I highly recommend Dana--leaving Blanche with her gave us peace of mind, which isn't always easy to find.”
“Peace of mind. That is what Nadège provides in addition to care. I appreciated all the updates, the photos and videos. It is very hard to leave my babies behind but knowing that they were in such good hands made it much easier. Will definitely book again.”
“Laura was great! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and sent lots of pictures. She was very accommodating and took good care of my pup. He enjoyed his stay and had a fun time playing with other dogs during his stay:)”
“We left our 3 yo Russell w Bonn for a week. He took such great care of our pup. We received regular updates w photos. Russ received as many snuggles and attention (if not more!) w Bonn as he would w us! You can tell he was happy, content and safe w Bonn. We look forward to returning to Bonn the next time we need a great sitter close to my family’s home!!! Thank you, Bonn, for caring and for loving Russ while we were away!”
“Patricia was absolutely amazing, not only taking care of our dog, but stopping by our house to check in on our cat to make sure she was alright. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable petsitter.”
“Sean has watched our dog, Ziggy, multiple times now. Sean is a great guy. He's personable, patient, he sent us pictures and updates while we were out of town. He obviously loves dogs and has the patience to watch our pooch, since she's diabetic and blind, she takes a lot of extra care. Thank you, Sean, we'll be back with Ziggy sooner or later!”
“Fantastic sitter! She was so caring and thoughtful, and she kept me updated with plenty of cute pictures. I always felt my dog was in great hands. I’d happily book with her again.”
“Levi was SO HAPPY here!! He was in the best hands and they gave us the best updates and sent him home with a packet of report cards and goodies ?? we are so grateful to have found somewhere that we felt Levi absolutely loved ! (He may not have wanted to come home ?) we will absolutely be booking again!!”
“Candy is wonderful!! Caring, loving, knowledgable. Everything you want in a caretaker when you can't be there yourself. Big house and big back yard! I'll definitely be using her again. Ruby had a good time! Thank you, Candy!!”
“Once again, Ernestina didn’t disappoint!! Our Lexie was excited to visit her again for a 3-day weekend. I rest comfortably knowing she is being taken care of with love and lots of walks! Looking forward to the next visit!”
“Ryan & Abbey are great!! They are very responsive and they keep me updated with videos and pictures through out the day. I also love how flexible in schedule they are. This is my 2nd time booking with them and plan on doing any future bookings with them. They have a spacious backyard and I’ve been lucky they have had other playful dogs that get along with my pup which makes it a great time for my puppy.”
“I’ve taken my dog Bentley to Matthew’s home twice now and couldn’t be happier with his services! We had a meet & greet upon first contact, which made me feel like Matthew takes his job very seriously. Bentley runs up to Matthew’s door, which is a solid sign that he is quite comfortable there. Upon request I received pictures and videos of Bentley playing at the dog park, which I’m certain is the highlight of his day. I highly recommend Matthew for his professionalism and level of care!”

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 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 7,913 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.
