“Adrienne and Mike are AWESOME. We have left both of our dogs under her care multiple times and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Adrienne is so kind and attentive and remembers everything about our dogs! We really appreciate how easy it is to communicate and get updates on the dogs while we are away. Thank you for taking care of our pups, Adrienne!”
“My dog Biscuit had a great time with Yueli. He enjoyed meeting the other dogs that she was watching. Yueli sent photos and videos everyday, so we got to see our boy while we were apart.”
“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!”
“This is my SEVENTH time booking with Joe. I’ve never had a dog with separation anxiety before and frankly it’s a nightmare because I have to have a dog sitter every time instead of letting him stay with friends Well, at this point feels like Joe is his friend. He’s extremely excited when we get to Joe ‘s house thankfully he’s also excited when I pick him up at the end! He’s always tired and dirty (not gross dirty) like a dog who had a blast! I couldn’t be happier.”
“I’m so thankful to have found Joyce and her roommate. At the beginning I was kind of nervous and even lose sleep few days prior to dropping Kiko off at Joyce’s. Once I drop her off and shortly after get an update, all my worries gone and I was able to go on vacation at ease. Joyce gave us regular updates with photos and videos. We really can tell that Kiko is happy and treated well. Kiko is now back home with our daughter while we are still on vacation. We are now wondering if Kiko is missing us or missing to be back with Joyce 😊 We will definitely use her service again in the future, highly recommended.”
“Amanda is amazing! She took fantastic care of my baby, and she was very understanding and flexible with scheduling. She sent regular photos and I would use her again in a heartbeat!!!”
“Meena was wonderful. We felt comfortable leaving our Luca with her for 5 days. Meena took him for long walks which he loves. She sent us photos, updated us, and asked questions which showed she truly cared for Luca. He had a great time! Will certainly book with Meena again.”
“As always, Lynsey showered Kasper with so much love and attention. She truly sets the bar so high when it comes to pet care. I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who treats him like her own and goes above and beyond every single time!”
“very good and was able to send so many updates during my dog’s board! he seems like he loved it there in the photos and i would definitely trust her to care for my dog again!”
“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!”
“Jasmine and Andrew were so amazing! Great communication and super flexible. 3 night boarding for our dog and I’d definitely 100% recommend them for caring for your pet whenever you’re away. Our dog was very happy and all the pictures we received showed how much he liked his time with them. :)”
“Dodonna and her family made Jasper and I feel very welcome. She answered all my questions and she not only sent pictures to assure me Jasper was doing well, she was always prompt responding. I felt Jasper was in good hands. I look forward to leaving him again knowing he will be well taken care of.”
“Another great time for Ace!!! Not only was he so excited when I packed up his gear to drop him off again at Wanyi’s (he knew where he was going this time!), he had a hard time saying goodbye to her when it was time to come home. A week later and he’s still smelling fresh and his fur is still so fluffy from the bath she gave him after getting dirty rolling around in the mud!! I need to get the brand of that shampoo! The cute photo updates were awesome and he was certainly right at home! I hate to travel but when I do, it’s great to know my furry friend is in great hands and so dearly loved!!! Thank you Wanyi and when travel resumes, we will be calling you!! Ace says “woof” and “hi”!!”
“Parker had such a great time with Gigi and Steven. He came back tired from the wonderful activity while with them but not strung out. Gigi and Steven gave us humans great communication and were super helpful and offered to extend the stay when we weren’t able to get home due to Covid. We will be booking again! Thank you!”
“Albina is a dream come true for anyone hoping to find a kind and considerate dog boarder. She was wonderful with my mom's dogs and they took right to her. I highly recommend Albina as a dog boarder!”
“Felicia is our go to boarder for our senior doggo when we’re out of town. She’s super responsive and provides lots of updates and knows how to make sure our fur baby is relaxed and has lots of fun!”
“Wonderful experience boarding my older dog! He had some behavioral issues which she dealt with superbly. I had peace of mind the whole time I had to be away from my doggo. Would highly recommend!”

Albane took wonderful care of our chihuahua Romeo during his boarding stay. She sent regular updates and photos the whole time, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. When we picked Romeo up he was happy and clearly well cared for. We'd book with Albane again in a heartbeat!
Katheryn was so great with Biscuit! Super sweet and took good care of him. She has lots of space for dogs to roam around and play. Her dog is also very sweet and relaxed. She sent me pictures through my time away from Biscuit, which made me really comfortable. We even had a play date to make sure Biscuit would be a good fit. She always responded to my messages in a timely manner. I will definitely let Biscuit come over again! Thank you Katheryn!
Hadia was amazing, taking care of our Annabelle for 2 weeks while we were out of town. We could not have found a more caring, attentive sitter. She sent over many photos and updates, took her on multiple walks everyday, and was very easy to communicate with. Annabelle came home healthy, well-rested, calm, and even better on leash! Thank you Hadia!
Noemi took such good care of Oden! I was away for almost 3 weeks which was the longest I've ever been away from my baby. She calmed any nerves I had and sent me photos almost everyday. I chose Noemi because I knew Oden would love to be with a toddler and other dog buddies and knew he would get tons of snuggles and love because not only is Noemi a stay at home mom, but there are other dog loving and doting family members there! Oden loved watching Bluey with Noemi's daughter and playing with Bonnie. I wouldn't hesitate to book Noemi again and give her dog services an A+++++
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!

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.
