“Yani and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Miso. They provided us with regular updates and pictures, as well as valuable feedback about how Miso was doing during his stay. They have a very nice front yard and backyard, which gives Spike (their dog) and Miso separate spaces in case they don’t get along, which I think is very thoughtful and smart. Miso seemed very happy and well taken care of throughout his stay. We felt very comfortable leaving him with Yani and her family and would definitely recommend them!”
“Amazing!! They watched my two dogs on short notice and were absolutely amazing! They made me feel so comfortable at drop-off and reassured me that my dogs were in great hands. They sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly patient and accommodating when we ran a little late for pickup and needed to extend their stay by an hour. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with rover. Briana and Charles were awesome. They took care of my little dog very well. They sent me pictures every day and communicate very well. If I could I would give them 10 stars.”
“Kim was amazing and went far above and beyond when she was taking care of Ziggy. She took the time to schedule an intro call, asked thorough questions, and also did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure she would be the right fit. While watching Ziggy, she also went out of her way to sew his toy that he had bitten a hole in, and buy him snacks from the store to help with the process of administering his medication. Kim was also very proactive in her communication and regularly provided updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was on my trip. I will 100% be reaching out to Kim again for any future sitting needs!”
“Andrew was wonderful and communicative! He took amazing care of our boys and kept us up to date a lot. This was extremely helpful as one of our dogs is high maintenance and requires medication.”
“Had no worries leavingThomas with Raquel for our trip down to Mexico- we got daily photos and videos from Raquel along with updated food and walking details throughout the trip. When we picked up Thomas he was happy and playful- thank you Raquel!! Defined our go to next time we take a trip ??”
“Our dog stayed with Kayla and her family while we were on vacation and she took such great care of her! Our dog got lots of attention and cuddles, which she loved, and we got lots of updates and pictures, which we appreciated. Highly recommend Kayla for your pet sitting needs!”
“We are repeat clients with Sarah. Our Shoyu loves her very much and is always excited to go there. Sarah is very accommodating and flexible. We were late to pick up but she was very understanding of the situation. We will definitely ho back to her!!!”
“I am so happy to have found Loree. It is always stressful leaving our Milo anywhere, especially now that he is a senior dog, but we were able to relax during our time away because Loree took such good care of him. She really pays attention to all details and kept me informed throughout the days with photos and updates, which was much appreciated. I could tell Milo was happy and well cared for by Loree, her husband, and her dogs at their place. Milo will be staying there for future trips.”
“Danielle and Austin were great! My dog Lucia gets a little nervous before staying with new people and they were so welcoming and sweet. They were both super communicative and I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire time! Thank you both for being so great!”
“It’s our first time with Erin, and won’t be our last hopefully. She took care of our little chunker like her own. She provided updates and sent photos, which we were so grateful for. There was a little mixed-up on our pick-up time but Erin was very flexible and she accommodated the last minute change. Thank you so much Erin, till the next time 🩷”
“Baxter had a wonderful time with Jaime and her dog Lola. She was very responsive on questions and flexible as my travel dates changed a few times. She kept in touch with me over Baxter's two week stay with picture updates, which really put me at ease considering I never left my dog that long. I highly recommend Jaime!”
“Marcy was great with my boys! She sent me pictures a few times a day through their whole stay. She was patient with them taking some time to adjust before eating and by the pictures I could tell they were happy and content by the second day. She took them on many walks and they came home happy! I won’t hesitate to use Marcy again when we have the need for a pet sitter!”
“Robert & Andrea were great with our ball of energy little pup! They were very easy to communicate with and even sent us an update picture during his stay. Our puppy seemed to really enjoy his time with them!”

David was awesome! He watched our Golden Retriever, Harold, for two weeks. We knew right away when we met him that he was the right fit, and his Golden Retriever, Auggie, and Harold seemed like a great match. While it is always hard to leave your dog with someone new, David quickly showed us that he was taking great care of our pup. He even noticed a hot spot and carefully followed our instructions to care for it (it was completely resolved by the time we picked up our dog). He communicated with us every few days, sending pictures and updates that made us feel like Harold was in excellent hands. He even shared the specific things he was enjoying about our dog, which really warmed our hearts. We would absolutely book him again. Thank you, David!
This was the first time Libby has stayed with anyone else that wasn’t family so my mom was worried cuz it’s her baby. But we were glad to hear how well she was doing around new ppl since she’s an anxious girl. Rachel and Jason were so nice and so good with her and our pups as well. My mom says thank you for taking such great care of her 3rd child and she’d love to rebook again.
Loree is a gem! She truly loves the dogs in her care, and Murphy was very well taken care of during his stay. This was his first time staying with her (being a newly adopted member of our family) and we're already booking with her for the next stay. Thank you, Loree, for giving Murphy a good home away from home, and us peace of mind during our travels!
Annika is a fairy godmother. She cared for Pepe for a week and did above a beyond to keep him exercising. I got photo updates frequently of him at the hooman park, beach, doggy park. In addition, her pad is equipped with doggy lounging beds and beds plenty of space to roam around. Overall she provided Pepe and I great support; I deeply appreciate that. I will be booking with her again✿
Natalie was very kind and professional, she took very good care of my baby Butters and even when I picked her up she showed Natalie some love and gratitude when saying bye. Communication 100% Flexibility 100% Following instructions 100% Kind and professional 100% Responsible 100% Definitely top one of my list next time I need a dog sitter.
Another great stay with Carrie, Coco loves going there and hanging out with all her BFFs! Carrie is extremely accommodating- I had actually booked the wrong nights and needed to extend her stay in the beginning and she was able to take her even though she was fully booked-thank you Carrie! 🙏 you’re a lifesaver!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Vista is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,304 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Vista 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 Vista 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 Vista.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vista. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Vista 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
