“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!”
“Since the pandemic, my dog and I both have separation anxiety from each other now. But whenever Ramen is with Mary Ann and Edwin, I don’t have to worry about him. They send pictures every single day, notify me of every little thing, and just make sure that he’s having such a good time that I never have to worry while I’m gone. They’re my go-to people whenever I need boarding services and will keep going to them until they quit! 😂”
“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!!”
“Robert and Fatima are awesome and trustworthy people. First time I met them, I can already tell that I can trust them with my dog and that they are real dog lovers.

“I recently moved into town and didn’t know anyone who could take care of my dog, Koji, when I had to go on a business trip. Koji was initially hesitant about staying with Skylar, but she was incredibly understanding and kept me informed about his progress. She sent regular photos and daily updates, which made me feel so at ease knowing that he was in good hands. It was clear to me that Skylar truly cares about Koji's well-being. I would absolutely trust her with Koji again in the future and would be happy to bring him back to her if I ever need a dog sitter again.”

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.”
“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!! ?”

Savannah was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so sweet, caring, and loving toward them, which made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated often and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief not having to worry about them while we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch our pups again!
Basillo was the best dog sitter for my Yuki! I can't thank him enough for the compassionate and attentive care he gave her. Without me even mentioning it, he quickly picked up on her favorite activities—like being a little "water shark" and soaking up the sun. He kept in regular communication throughout my vacation, sending photos and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Yuki was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I will definitely be bringing my dogs back to Basillo and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
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.
