“Amber was very kind and easy to work with. She sent me lots of photos of Bennett which made me feel at ease, since this was my first time using Rover. I appreciated her flexibility with the drop off and pick up time and could tell she really loved animals.”
“We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dog, Tuantuan, this past weekend! From the initial meet-and-greet, we knew Tuantuan would be in great hands. She was incredibly welcoming and clearly loves dogs. She provided regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. We could tell Tuantuan was having a blast playing in her home and yard and getting lots of attention. We really appreciated that she was flexible with our pick-up time. Tuantuan came home happy and tired, which is the best sign of a great stay! We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for over 17 years and have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Right now, I have a sweet 6 year old husky and a 15 year old cat who are truly part of my family. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their fur babies because they know I’ll love and care for them like my own. I’m not your typical pet sitter — your pets are welcome on the furniture, can snuggle up in bed, and will be treated with patience, affection, and lots of attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a pet parent who has personally used Rover for the past 6 years, I understand how important trust, communication, and peace of mind are when leaving your babies with someone else. I have very high standards when it comes to pet care, so I make it a priority to keep parents updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and regular check-ins so you always know your fur baby is happy and in great hands. I work a hybrid schedule at a pet-friendly office, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. If your pup experiences separation anxiety, I can even bring them along with me for extra companionship and care. I also live near multiple dog parks, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, playtime, and fun adventures throughout the day. You can trust that I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets as if they were my own. A typical day with me includes lots of TLC, playtime, walks every couple of hours, cuddles, enrichment, and fun little adventures. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, comfortable, and right at home.
“Sesame has stayed with Galina and Aleksei multiple times and she absolutely loves being with them. They have become our go-to sitter for when we’re away on long trips. Sesame gets so much attention and adventures when she’s with them and we get peace of mind knowing that she’s well cared for. I especially appreciate the daily picture updates and communication/flexibility around pickups and drop offs. Thanks again, Galina and Aleksei for taking such good care of Sesame!”
“Yixin was so gracious to take our baby on late notice after a previous rover cancelled. She was super responsive, provided updates, as well as pictures. Will use in the future!!”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Karen was so accommodating for our dog’s stay at her house over a long weekend. Since it was our first time booking with her and for a longer stay, she met with us before we booked to make sure it would be a good fit for her and our dog. She started a group text with me and my boyfriend so we could both get her daily pictures and updates. Gave plenty of love and exercise and when our flight was delayed and we got in late for pick up, our dog was curled up with them on the couch snoozing away and was surprised to have to leave. ? We will definitely be booking with Karen again!”
“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Mike is great with dogs. My pup had plenty of walks and playtime with couple of other dogs in the roomy backyard, and he got lots of pets and affection. I would definitely leave my dog with him again.”
“Emily cared my cat with passion and love during the boarding time. Ended up my cat is too happy with her didn't wanted go home with me. My cat's behavior said thousands words about Emily profession service. Definitely deserved More than 5 starts rating. Highly recommend!”
“Ronald showed so much care and attention to Riley. We appreciated his fun pictures allowing us to see Riley. Thank you for taking care of Riley when we couldn't take her with us on vacation.”
“Sofiya is the best! My boy Titus came home happy, clean, and smarter. Sofiya taught him how to shake hands during his 6 day boarding while we’re on vacation! We will definitely have her watch Titus in the future. She gives us peace of mind and Titus loves her. Titus also came home with 2 new toys and a dozen eggs from Sofiya’s chickens as a bonus. A plus rating and above. Thank you!!”
“Yoona, Minjae, and their sweet pup Buddy were absolutely wonderful hosts for my Bichon, Teo. This was Teo’s first stay outside the care of a family member, but from our very first meeting in Yoona and Minjae’s clean, welcoming home, I felt completely at ease knowing he would be in the best hands. Teo was comfortable with them right away, and the photos and videos they shared throughout his stay showed just how happy he was - enjoying plenty of walks, enrichment, and feeling truly included as part of their pack. It was clear that Teo received so much love and attention; he was affectionate with Yoona and Minjae and was genuinely treated like a member of their family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. The entire process was seamless, and Teo was calm and confident being left in their care. I couldn’t recommend Yoona and Minjae more highly, and know that Teo would be thrilled to return for future daycare or boarding stays.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Alviso is $75

Yuki had a wonderful stay with Gwen! Yuki is a healthy and active senior Maltese Westie mix (16 years old) and requires extra love and care. Gwen was very good at following his routine and meds according to his schedule and making sure he felt comfortable and happy. I loved receiving so many pictures, videos and regular updates. Yuki really enjoyed the dog park in her apartment complex. I felt at peace knowing Yuki was well taken care of. I would book her again and totally recommend her. Big thanks for everything!
Dawn took amazing care of our dog! She sent great photos, videos, and recaps every day. Our dog actually developed an ear infection the day after we dropped him off, and she went above and beyond in coordinating with me to get him to the vet to get him taken care of. I wish I could give her 6 stars!
Andrew was fantastic! He took great care of Teddy and made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. He was communicative and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Andrew and would gladly book with him again.
Sesame has stayed with Galina and Aleksei multiple times and she absolutely loves being with them. They have become our go-to sitter for when we’re away on long trips. Sesame gets so much attention and adventures when she’s with them and we get peace of mind knowing that she’s well cared for. I especially appreciate the daily picture updates and communication/flexibility around pickups and drop offs. Thanks again, Galina and Aleksei for taking such good care of Sesame!
We are very happy we found Dale. He was so calm and patient with our dog, Maui, giving him the time and space he needed to get comfortable. Dale sent regular updates and it was clear he understood our dog perfectly. He made Maui feel at ease and even enjoy trips to the park, despite his usual anxiety in new places. We would definitely leave Maui with Dale again.
Shreeja and her husband are awesome. They took great care of Shiro. He felt like home with her. He got cuddled, belly rubs, walks, played fetch and what not. Shiro was picky eater and she was very kind to hand feed him. She shared Shiro's updates in photos and videos every few hours that made me not feel anxious throughout my 8 days trip. Thank you soo much for taking care and loving him. Would definitely leave Shiro with her the next time we are out of town. I recommend Shreeja 1000%
Casper had a wonderful time with Ghazal! She cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and comfort throughout his stay. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Casper was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Thank you, Ghazal!
Christy took care of our Shiba Inu, Wanchan, for two separate stays: first, a one-night trial stay, and later a 2.5-week stay while we were away on our trip to Asia. From the very beginning, she was excellent with communication and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout both stays. She also carefully followed all of the care instructions we provided in a Google doc, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Wanchan warmed up to Christy and her boyfriend surprisingly quickly, which is not always easy with a Shiba Inu. Seeing how comfortable and happy she was allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about our fur baby back home. One thing that really stood out was their experience with Shiba Inus. As many owners know, Shibas can be quite different from other breeds and often require a unique approach. Christy and her boyfriend clearly understood the breed’s personality and needs, and their knowledge helped Wanchan feel less anxious and adjust to their home in a short time. Overall, I would highly recommend Christy as a Rover sitter, especially if you have a Shiba Inu. Her experience, communication, and genuine care for dogs made all the difference, and we would not hesitate to book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alviso on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,277 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alviso. 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.
93% of Alviso 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 Alviso 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 Alviso 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 Alviso.
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 Alviso 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.
