“Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
About: Our dogs are our family members. We will treat your dog like family too with lots of love, play and care. We are experienced in pet training. We offer good citizen training and fun basic training while with us. Paul & Kat We are available to accommodate daily pet care and overnight boarding. We have two dogs of our own who live to play. We enjoy our guest dogs immensely. We have a pet paradise. A beautiful large fenced shaded grass area; with a wood deck leading to a doggie door so they can go in and out of our air conditioned home.
About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are gone a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.
About: I have worked at a doggy day care that serviced over a 100 dogs and 30 cats at a time. As a kennel tech, I took care of the animals. I played with them, gave them enrichment, training, ect. I have 1 year experience selling pet food. I learned a lot about dog and cat diets and food sources. Currently i'm available 24/7. This is what I do full time. So the animal will have 24/7 attention. Special circumstances will apply, weekend adventures or what not. Anytime is negotiable. Every animal will be treated as my own. Dogs will sleep in the house. We have 1 acre to run around on in the day. I'll be here all day.
“Victoriya was amazing! She was available last minute to take care of my dog for 10 days. Because our original dog sitter fell through, I was nervous about dropping my dog off. Throughout my trip, she sent me updates and a lot of pictures. She made me feel at ease and I didn’t stress about my pup while I was gone. I will 1000% be using her again in the future!!”
“Kelsey and her family took such great care of our doodle! Patient and laidback was just what we were looking for. Our pup came back home well loved and exhausted from all the fun. Already planning future dates :)”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little anxious about leaving Bentley with someone I didn’t know. She really helped ease my worries from the start. She even let me stop by earlier in the week to meet her and make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. Bentley stayed with her for three nights and seemed to do great! She kept me updated with photos during his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He came home happy and seemed to have been well cared for. I’m so glad we found her and would definitely have Bentley stay with her again!”
“Belle came home happy and exhausted from her stay with Jena and family. I know she received a lot of love and attention and daily exercise, and that’s exactly what Belle needs, when she’s away from home. Jena was great about sending updates and photos and she was very patient and understanding when Belle had tummy and sleep issues.”
“Lisa was great with our dogs! She provided regular updates with photos and was flexible with our schedule. This was our first time having them stay with a pet sitter and I would be happy to book with Lisa again.”
“Ruby does a great job and communicates well. The pictures and videos sent daily are wonderful. I would recommend Ruby for dog care and we hope to use Ruby’s service again on future needs.”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Minaa and Jason took wonderful care of Buster. They were super friendly and quick to respond to messages. They provided regular updates with photos. We will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to take care of your dog.”
“Shannon is amazing. It was our first time using Rover and she was the best person to experience this service. We love it. From getting updates (photos videos and messages) to answering all questions we had the whole time. Excellent service. Highly recommend Shannon, and we look forward having our Luna stay with Shannon and her family in the future. Thanks for everything.”
“Tale'A is professional, knowledegable and friendly. She and her family welcomed our dog into their home. He was well cared for during his stay. We will deffinately go back again.”
“Buttons always seems to have a good time with Amanda and her family. Amanda always sends updates, photos, and videos. Buttons gets socialization skills which she needs. Amanda is a great sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Amy and Justin are fantastic dogsitters. Right away from their meet n greet/interview you can see that they are committed to providing the best, personalize care for your pup. Lots of photos, great communication and details of the stay. Clover seemed to fit right in with their household. She even received a sweet handmade card from their oldest child that said, "I love Clover". 🥹🩷 Will definitely be booking again with them!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Applegate on Rover is $33.3 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 722 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Applegate. 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.
96% of Applegate 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 Applegate 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 Applegate 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 Applegate.
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 Applegate 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.
