“Keitel was amazing and i'd highly recommend! Elio had a great time there and really appreciated the pictures and daily updates. He even took the extra time to help train our puppy which was much appreciated. Really thankful to have found this great place for our dog!”

“Samantha was great watching my cats last minute. She ensured they had a cooldown space and company when they were ready. On top of all that, she’s just super cool person.”

“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”

“Kylee was amazing! She was flexible and understanding with all my sudden changes. She sends me updates and photos of how my baby is doing. I was never worried about my dog while I was away. I think my dog felt like he was in a staycation and played with their cat ! I’ll definitely rebook her ! Thank you Kylee! You and your husband are the best!”


About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs of all kinds! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play and check up on their pets! I’m currently in school studying, which gives me a very flexible daytime schedule. I’m available for walks throughout the day and can accommodate a variety of timing needs, including mornings, afternoons and evenings! I have always grown up with animals but currently do not have any pets of my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, am reliable, attentive and happy to make sure your pets get plenty of exercise, attention and care while you’re away
“Kelly was very pleasant, friendly, and accommodating with our schedule. She sent us pictures and updates periodically so that we could see how Molly was doing. Molly was so well loved and played with that she was exhausted when we picked her up. Molly seemed to have liked her time with Kelly and her family.”

“Loki loved it with Charity. We've tried taking him to doggy daycares in the past and he absolutely hates them, with charity, he apparently made himself right at home and seemed like he was in good spirits when we picked him up and really likes her. Charity kept us updated and showed us pictures of him being adorable. He got to go on walks, had people and pets to play with. If we need someone to watch him again, we will absolutely go back to charity.”


About: I love animals and enjoy any time I get to spend with them. Even though I don’t have much experience pet sitting other than caring for our family dog, I’m looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I’d love to keep them safe, happy and making sure they are comfortable and cared while their parents are away! I'm currently staying at home, so I have plenty of time to provide full-time care for your pets! Potty breaks are available throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your pets to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I provide a safe , clean environment where pets can feel at home. We also have a puppy and two kids at home so I understand the importance of supervision and making sure all pets are safe. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets routine to make the stay/care as comfortable as possible.
About: I have been taking care of my friends dog for 4 years. I love taking dogs on walks and I can drop in your dogs and check on them! I can do boarding but mostly on weekends since I work Monday through Friday until 4:30pm I can take dogs on walks after work and weekends during mornings and nights as well! I can check on them during the evenings as well I will follow instructions that are provided to me by the owners! I will build a relationship between the dogs and myself and the owners!
“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She covered him with so much love and care he came home with renewed confidence and energy ! We felt full confidence in her care and much appreciated her updates and pictures while we were away! Thank you, Linda!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since I was a young girl. My parents would often foster kittens to which I would help and learn. When I was 11 and moved to Florida, I started to connect with my neighbors and created relationships where they trusted me enough to care for their pets and stay in their home. With experience in both dog and cat care, elderly and young, I’ve learned how to give medicine, understand what they need, and how to love them unconditionally. As a mom of two cat babes, I understand the need for a loving presence when you cannot be there for your own animals and would love to be able to be that for anyone else. Currently I work part-time with time to spare at home for pet care. I already spend many hours at home with my own fur babies, so I wouldn’t mind at all splitting that time with others staying in the house! Saturdays I work an 8 hour shift, but any other day is wide open. I have two cats in my home, and they have free roam of the house. I am not one to restrict where pets can and cannot go since this is their first time living as well and are curious creatures. If I have a dog with me, then I try to be where they are, providing supervision and company.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve had my dog, Simba, since a puppy & we’ve basically grown up together. I’m happy to provide boarding and sima will love having a buddy to play with. I only take one boarder at a time, so they will get loads of attention and play time. I also do drop-ins and walks. Simba and I are both patient with puppies as well, I know puppyhood can be a challenge! Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested! Boarding is limited to weekends mostly as I work full-time and want to be sure your doggo is getting all my attention, but I can make arrangements to work from home on a case by case basis for longer stays. I am flexible for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and on the weekends! I have a large fenced yard and Simba loves to play! I also live near a few walking trails that will surely wear them out. Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested!

About: I've had a dog pretty much my whole life!! My family bred and raised dachshunds for a huge portion of my life. I was tasked with training them and giving them love. I love all dogs big and small. I love to play with them and teach them new things and just love them. I also love training them. I like to see the progress they make. I’m a stay at home mom and we all love pets! We take daily walks/bike rides and spend lots of time at the park! We live right by a dog park. I’ve got a fenced in back yard and plenty of people in my home to love the pets. I would walk and play with pets at my house and at a clients home.
About: I have cared for my friends and families pets while they were away for multiple years. I have experience with grooming, feeding and walking multiple breeds of dogs. I will spend plenty of quality time with your fur baby to help keep them both mentally and physically healthy while you are away. I have a special place in my heart for cats. So if you have a kitten or adult cat that needs someone to check in on them and a little play time then I would love the opportunity to get to know them. I currently work a full time job with night shift hours. I would be able to care for your fur baby anytime during the day or weekends. Occasionally some evenings. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my pup to run. My daughter and I enjoy evening walks with our pup and bathing her weekly.
About: Experienced Pet Caretaker: From Puppies' Playtime to Senior Pill Prowess! I have cared for many puppies, as well as our Seniors. I love to play with the puppies, however, I love making sure the seniors get the cuddles and treats they desire! I have a senior in my own home and administer daily pills, multiple times per day. I also have a pitbull puppy who will run herself ragged outside while chasing balls, gardening, and just running around. She also loves hikes and walks! I run my own massage business for in home massage. I am only working three days a week for a few hours at a time. Taking care of the pets is really easy with my schedule! I can carve out as much time as they might need in my day. I aim to keep there routine as normal as possible. I am very flexible in making sure I can do that! I personally feed my own dogs two times per day (morning and night). I have crated my dogs at night for many years, but that is because they love their space. I don't mind having the animals out and about if that is what they prefer! I love to take my own animals on several walks per day, especially with apartment living! We can do anything from short walks to long hikes. I also have had to give my own dogs medications and am no stranger to senior care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Valley Center is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 151 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Valley Center can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Valley Center home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 KS 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.
