“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! ?”
“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"!”

“It was so hard leaving FeeFee with a sitter for the first time, but Bernadette made everything so wonderful. My baby looked so happy in all of the photos she sent me! I have been trying to implement healthier foods into my babies meals, but she wouldn’t eat it. Bernadette was successful in getting my doggy to eat the healthier foods! She truly has a magical way with dogs. I’m so happy I found her!”
“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.😊”
“First time using this app, and very satified with experience. Candy was great with my dog, she is very caring, she sent update pics of my dog's activities, will definitely use service again in the future, thank you!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I pet sit for family & friends, and i’ve decided to start taking care of other peoples pets because it’s something that I love and enjoy! I am a kitten foster, I work with a rescue and have taken care of 7+ newborn kittens that were going to be euthanized. I love doing this not just as a job but as a hobby ☺️ I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am an overthinker so I always think about the worst case scenarios and do my best to avoid anything 😭 Besides that I am on my second year of college looking for a side hustle! If you have any concerns Ive probably researched it 99% of the time, so feel free to ask :) I have 1 cat (indoors & outdoor) and fenced back yard. Accommodations for your pets are available if they are not good with other animals. I have plenty of free time for play time. I enjoy going on walks and exploring nature.
“This was my first experience with leaving a dog with a sitter. Shadow is still in the puppy stage and Susie was very accommodating with pictures and updates. She will definitely be my go to sitter for the next time.”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“We left our baby, Murphy with Amorn & Adam recently. I would highly recommend them if you need a sitter in this area. They were very responsive and provided consistent feedback on how my girl was doing. They sent pictures throughout her stay as well❤️🐾❤️”
“Nice space for my dog to stay and run around.. very clean . They have gates and fence to keep them in side. The family is welcoming and love dogs .. he has been 3 times”
“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.”
“Armando was awesome. He was already waiting for us outside when we were on the way to drop off Bella and the handoff was great. I could tell Bella enjoyed her stay too because she was happy when we picked her up. Armando also updated us during her stay. We are actually going to book him again for next weekend!”
“Just picked up our FRAPPE . Our boy is very shy and the fact that he was calm and relaxed says a lot about the energy he was around. And we loved that!! We’ll be definitely bringing FRAPPE BACK TO YOU GUYS. and thank you guys for being so mindful and taking our last minutes request 🙏🏼”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylmar
I had a wonderful experience with this Basilio, He took excellent care of my dog for two nights and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. He was responsible, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about my dog’s comfort and well being. I would definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
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.
