Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.

Alexandra took such good care of Rex. He almost didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick him up. Thank you so much!

Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and professional background in caring for both animals and people. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage. From energetic puppies to beloved seniors. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands on experience with animal handling, administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate care. Today, I’m a nurse, bringing the same calm, attentive, and safety focused approach to every life I care for. I’m trained in canine CPR and emergency life saving measures, so your pet’s well being is always my top priority. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to pet sit because they know I treat every animal like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a sweet 9 year old Pomeranian/Chihuahua named Phil. He’s incredibly gentle, loves other animals, enjoys cuddling, and spends most of his day happily napping. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, or full of energy, I’ll provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work night shifts Monday through Thursday, while my husband works during the day, so our schedules allow for frequent supervision and plenty of one on one attention. We keep your pet’s routine as close to home as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. If your baby enjoys sleeping in bed, they’re welcome to cuddle with me just like my Phil. I naturally wake throughout the night (day) every 2-3 hours to let the babies out for potty breaks if needed. I take Phil on two walks every day. Once in the morning after work and again in the evening before my shift. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving home where every baby becomes apart of our family. I provide care in my home, where your babies safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced, secure backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time. For added safety, my front door is located behind a locked gate, creating an extra barrier that helps prevent the little cuties from accidentally getting outside. Inside, pups become our family, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm environment. I carefully follow each pups feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special care they need. With my experience as a veterinary assistant and my nursing background, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and know how to respond quickly if concerns arise. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and loving home where you can feel completely confident leaving your babies in my care.

Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.

This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.

This was the first time ever leaving our Riley with anybody other than family. We were very nervous, but Kimberly eased our anxiety right away with her gentle and inviting nature toward us and Riley. She took great care of him and kept us updated with many pictures and videos. It allowed us to enjoy our trip even more knowing that he was in good hands.

Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.

She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!

FAQs for Boarding - Atwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Atwater on Rover is $29.96 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 149 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Atwater. 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.

100% of Atwater 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 Atwater 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 Atwater 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 Atwater.

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 Atwater 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.
