“Janice was the best! She was so great witn Bear and gave so many updates and videos. It so reassuring to have someone like her and her family care for your pet.”
“Lisa and family are so great with Mango and she always loves to board with them and whichever other dogs they’re sitting. It’s so fun for her to be part of the gang over there”
“Angelica was a great host! She welcomed my pup into her home warmly, and took great care of him. A couple nights later, I picked up a very happy dog! She checked in with me while I was away and took the time to ask important questions about George. I would absolutely recommend Angelica!”
“Thank you for taking care of Code once again! We are so thankful for Sherice, Kelly and family for looking after Code on short notice. He was so happy and truly enjoyed the company and warmth of their home. We look forward to having him visit again soon.”
“Ana and Mitchell and their dog Ellie were wonderful sitters for our 5 month old Labradoodle puppy. I am very glad to have found them. Their fenced in backyard and house are set up for entertaining new dogs with comfort and safety. They were able to get our puppy to eat his meals even though he's teething and sometimes unmotivated. He loved playing with Ellie and he was so relaxed after I picked him up because he had a great night with Ana & Mitchell.”
“This was Arnie's first time boarding with a sitter, and he had a wonderful time with Loretta. He made a new best friend with another dog, and had such a good time that he didn't seem to miss us that much (I think he enjoyed his vacation!) Loretta shared pictures and commentary with us so we always felt in touch with Arnie. I was most impressed with her flexibility - our travel plans changed unexpectedly, and we needed to have Arnie stay with Loretta an additional day. She was very accommodating, and everything went smoothly. Loretta is very responsive to messages and obviously loves dogs! I would highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the incredible care my senior dog received from Rika! At 16 years old, blind, deaf, and struggling with mobility and severe nighttime anxiety, my dog needed a lot of special attention. Rika was a total angel, truly heaven-sent, and made my dog feel comfortable and safe throughout my chaotic move. Her compassion and dedication were extraordinary. She adapted to my dog’s routine seamlessly, providing constant updates with photos and videos that put my mind at ease. Knowing my dog was in such caring and capable hands was a huge relief. I highly recommend Rika to anyone who wants their pet to be treated like family with the utmost love and care!”
“Cathy and Andres are amazing! Much appreciation for the boarding and care for Winnie while I was away on vacation, grateful they were able to accommodate a lengthy stay. If you're looking for a dog sitter: they were helpful, communicated frequently, and shared plenty of adorable photos snuggling and playing with their dog Charlie! I would certainly use their services again and highly recommend. Thanks again!”
“We decided let our two little dogs (aka trouble makers) stay with Junyao when we were away. It couldn’t have been a better decision. She did so much more than look after them; she cared for them, helped them overcome their anxiety, allowed them to do the things they did at home and eat when they felt it was a good place they were staying. They could wander around the house and zoom around on the grass in the back garden (which was totally secure). My initial comment was ‘we couldn’t have made a better choice’ and nothing has changed.”
“Yuhong took care of my kitty while I was on a long vacation. We met prior to ensure Meru could meet Yuhong and it was clear Meru was going to be in great hands. Usually my neighbors will feed my cats while I’m on trips, but one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge recently, and it gave me such peace of mind that Meru was not alone and had ample sweet and caring company with Yuhong and her husband. Meru had never been away from our home so she (and I) was nervous at first, but warmed up to Yuhong quickly. Yuhong played with Meru twice a day to keep her spirits up. I’m grateful this worked out and to have found a wonderful sitter moving forward!”
“OMG, Stephanie was wonderful. She gave me updates and pictures regarding Blair all weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving Blair with Stephanie. Very nice and friendly environment.”
“Albina is kind and great with dogs! My doggy can be a little difficult around people she doesn’t know, but she hit it off with Albina immediately! This was my second time working with her and she really is wonderful! I highly recommend Albina, she is communicative and send a lots of cute photos. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Stephanie was wonderful with our girl!! ❤️ She sent updates and pictures during her stay which melted our hearts!! We would definitely recommend Stephanie to watch your pet and will board with her again in the future. :)”
“Our dog Zoey had a great time with Diana and her pups! We left for four days and Diana sent lots of communication and Zoey was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Diana and will use her in the future.”
“Adrienne was so kind, accommodating and communicative. Mateo really enjoyed his stay and was obviously well exercised when we got him back. Thanks for taking care of Mateo!!”
“Jasmine is just the best. She has been sitting our dog Cheeto pretty much regularly since almost a year now. I don’t think we could find anyone better than Jasmine to take care of Cheeto. He loves to spend time with Jasmine and her cute little dog Teddie. Best sitter ever.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Altadena is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Altadena
Great experience! She took such great care of Ziggy and kept us updated with lots of pictures. Ziggy usually takes a little while to warm up in a new environment and people, but she felt right at home almost immediately during the meet up it was obvious she felt safe and happy. We’ve already booked with her again for next week. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Sherice and Kelly did such an amazing job taking care of my little sweetie Corsage! She is a very nervous dog with lots of anxiety. When I picked her up and brought her home she was so peaceful and relaxed. That to me is the ultimate sign of wonderful care. This is such a nice family and they were very kind with Corsage. I highly recommend them!
Our little boy Freckles absolutely loved his time with Athene. She provided several photos throughout his stay and you can tell she genuinely loves her four legged guests. She followed all of Freckles care instructions and we wouldn’t hesitate to book a stay with Athene in the future.
We were so lucky to find Jadine last minute to watch our senior dog while we went out of town on a last minute camping trip. Jadine was thorough with her questions about our dog and how to keep him comfortable while we were gone. She sent us lots of pics from his walks and his afternoon naps. If you want your dog in the care of someone who loves and cares for your pet like it’s her own, I highly recommend Jadine!
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring and trustworthy hands. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!
Dodonna and her family are unreal! The nicest and animal loving folks you’ll ever find. Very easy to work with and super flexible with pick up and drop off. Great with communication, very responsive and sent daily updates without prompting. We are so grateful to have found them!!
I highly recommend Denise! She took excellent care of my fur baby and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was very attentive, took the time to ask about my dog's specific needs and routines, and made sure everything was handled properly. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely trust her with my fur baby again!🐶😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Altadena on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,662 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Altadena. 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 Altadena 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 Altadena 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 Altadena 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 Altadena.
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 Altadena 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.
