“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Diane was an excellent dog sitter for our dog Luna. We were a little nervous because we just recently adopted her, she’s a little shy around new people, and and this was the first time we boarded her, but Diane was amazing, sent lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell Luna was very comfortable and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Diane.”
“Lori was amazing with your dog! She sent us frequent photos and videos and treated her like one of her own. I would recommend Lori to anyone. Your dog will be in great hands!”
“Angie was really great. She was easy to communicate with and replied to our messages quickly. She also sent pictures of Parker without being asked to. Would definitely book again in the future! Parker had a great time.”
“Kym is a fantastic dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy, Nacho. She sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were out of town. Nacho had a fun 'vacation' at Kym's house, and loved playing with her dog, Dusty. We will definitely ask Kym to watch Nacho again soon.”
“Erica quickly bonded with my dogs (3) and has provided excellent care. She is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. I was in a serious pinch. Erica was so quick to except my request. I’m glad with how everything worked out.”
“Acausha did an amazing job caring for our two little pups. I was so worried about leaving them fur eight days but I didn’t need to be. Acausha was very patient with our nervous older dog and did a great job with our energetic younger dog. She even sent pictures regularly throughout our trip. I highly recommend Acausha!”
“Marta is the best host! She is very kind and attentive to ease our dog’s separation anxiety. Really appreciate the photo & video updates of the puppies playing and having a great time :)”
“This was our pup’s first overnight away from home in preparation for a longer trip and she did great. Lucy and her family are so loving and kind, our pup was able to relax and have fun, despite her anxious disposition. Highly recommend!”
“Caleb is almost too accommodating. I’ve changed bookings on him last minute or needed a late night pick up and he’s consistently been able to meet my needs. My dog is always excited to spend time with Caleb and the other dogs. He keeps me updated with videos and photos.”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“We are so happy we found Michele. She was so kind, confident, and reassuring with our anxious dog. Michele was very flexible with our times, and was great at communicating with us through pictures and texts. She was the perfect caretaker for our precious pup!”
“Andrea and Robert took great care of our Koda. They are very nice, easy to communicate with and seemed attentive to my pup’s needs. My Koda came home a happy dog! Will definitely book with them again. Thank you both!”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Sean & family (including their dog Zorian) were just wonderful dog sitters! This was a repeat booking with him and I certainly plan to use him again in the future. They welcomed my dog into their family and took great care of him!”

Tricia watched our dog Tucker for a full week while we were out of town, and we could not have had a better experience! She was amazing about sending us daily updates and photos throughout the entire week, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Tucker was in such great hands. It was clear that she truly cared about him and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Tricia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Valley Center on Rover is $44.4 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 4,277 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Valley Center. 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.
96% of Valley Center 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 Valley Center 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 Valley Center 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 Valley Center.
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 Valley Center 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.
