“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sant was very attentive and caring with my dog. He made sure my dog’s needs were met, especially his medications. He had good communication with me while my dog was boarded.”
“Kamila was amazing with my two dogs! She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and made sure to follow all of their care instructions including my dog’s strict prescription diet. Both pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable and loved during her stay. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend Kamila to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter! 🐾💛”
“Casey and Sarah were amazing! We booked with them super last minute and they even offered to have a quick FaceTime with us beforehand which really made us feel comfortable. We got the cutest updates of our pup and felt really at ease with her in their care. Definitely will book with them again in the future!”
“I am very satisfied with the service I received. Sahar did an amazing job. My dog is very selective with people but he was very comfortable with Sahar. The happiness and calmness, that happy face I saw when I wanted to pick him up was good enough for me to rebook with Sahar. Thank Sahar so very much🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two poms while we were away for the weekend. He played with them, took them on walks, sent us pics each day, and communicated with us frequently. Our dogs were so happy and content when we got home, so I know they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Matthew. He is a true dog lover and a responsible sitter we can trust. Thank you!!”
“Our pooch Pepper had a very nice initial visit with Aiko and Dennis. She came home happy and relaxed, which is always a good sign. We have already booked our next boarding. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”

“Liam and Nadia did a great job of keeping us in the loop with Archer. He seems to have adjusted well and has come home a happy boy! We will happily book again with them in the future ❤️”
“Great boarding experience, really easy to communicate and build trust. From the beginning I had the feeling that they knew how to take care of a dog and I wasn’t wrong about it. Lola was happy to stay with them, which for me is the most important thing. I would definitely trust them again to take care of Lola.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice.

I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space.

About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Margy and her family have watched our dog, Rosalie, several times and we feel so fortunate to have connected with her. Rosalie feels so comfortable in their care and I can tell from the photos Margy sends that she’s having a great time (she is literally smiling). Thanks so much for taking such great care of our girl!”
“This was our third visit with Jing and things went just as well as usual. :) I appreciate Jing's daily photos (she captures some cute, funny moments) and that she takes them on walks in the neighborhood. The kids seem to enjoy the pups too, which makes me happy. Thank you Jing, looking forward to our next visit!”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy Griffey at a sitter's house and we couldn't have been happier with our experience! Alison had amazing reviews and the amount of repeat clients gave us a sense of relief. She was so professional and you could tell she truly loves what she does by the amount of effort and care she puts into their stay. She answered all of our questions and it was nice to meet her and see the house before we left him there for the weekend. She has an amazing backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and enjoy themselves! I loved that she sent pictures and updates every day so we could see how he was doing. He definitely had a great time with the other dogs and was asleep on my lap in less than 5 minutes after we picked him up. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to all of our friends!”

Frank & Thao were amazing. We were getting married nearby and they were so accommodating with pickup to have Stevie be part of the wedding and be dropped off back with them. Stevie was clearly well cared for and seemed to have had an absolute blast playing in their perfect yard with their pup. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.
Christy took excellent care of my senior dachshund, Leia, while I was on a long weekend trip! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.
Jessica always goes above and beyond to make everything work out, and Kona truly loves spending time with her family. Between swimming in their pool, getting lots of snuggles, and being treated like part of the family, Kona is always in great hands! We also love getting pictures or a quick update each day while we’re away. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Kona is happy, loved, and so well cared for. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Matthew provided excellent care for our two poms while we were away for the weekend. He played with them, took them on walks, sent us pics each day, and communicated with us frequently. Our dogs were so happy and content when we got home, so I know they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Matthew. He is a true dog lover and a responsible sitter we can trust. Thank you!!
Maddie watched our dog Kora and was amazing! Kora had the absolute best stay - she played, went for walks and had so much love during her time with Maddie! Maddie was also great at communicating with me and is a very caring and loving dog caregiver! Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alamo is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $90 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 November 2026, there are 6,664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alamo. 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.
93% of sitters in Alamo 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 Alamo 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 Alamo.
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 Alamo. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Alamo 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.
