“This was my first time using Rover, and Sant made the entire experience so easy and stress-free! Before boarding Lumo for 10 days, we had an initial meet-and-greet where Sant walked me through where Lumo would be staying, playing, and spending his time. Being able to see the environment beforehand gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel comfortable leaving Lumo in Sant’s care. Throughout the stay, Sant consistently sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions, knowing Sant was equally proactive in keeping me updated. Since this was Lumo’s first time staying with Sant, communication was especially important in making the experience a success, and Sant absolutely delivered. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! I’m so grateful to have found Sant and plan to continue using him as my go-to boarding sitter for Lumo. I highly recommend Sant to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring person to look after their dog!”

“Our dog loved having a staycation with Mariola and the handful of other small doggy friends in her house. It's clear that Mariola is a caring, knowledgeable sitter and provides the highest quality of care to each animal -- our pup seemed happy to stay forever, even when the sit was done. We are glad to have found her and are just as excited as our dog to book again in the future.”

“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”

“I’ve used Dvora’s services twice now and am a client for life!! I have an elderly chihuahua named Ellie who has anxiety and some mobility concerns, and I’ve been afraid to leave her with a sitter until now. Dvora changed that for us. She is thoughtful and thorough, and her intake packet allowed me to share all of my dog’s care info in advance, including on topics I would have forgotten to mention if Dvora hadn’t asked about them. Dvora is highly knowledgable with animal body language and pet care, and asked clarifying questions about what was normal for my dog throughout her stay. Dvora also did a test drop-off with me so we could see how Ellie did without me there, which hugely helped with my nerves and I’m sure it helped with Ellie’s too! Dvora even noticed when I’d forgotten to pack a favorite toy of Ellie’s and asked me about it so we could make a plan. She also noticed when Ellie had some good joint days and wanted to go for longer walks. When Ellie got tired, Dvora carried her back home. Now that Ellie has done two visits with Dvora, she is noticeably relaxed at Dvora’s home and has forged a friendship with Dvora’s sweet little pup Sheera. Dvora creates an intentional, loving space for your pup no matter how long or short their stay may be. I feel so fortunate to have found such a remarkable caregiver for Ellie.”

“Marlene did an excellent job of communicating about MacGuyver's issues while we were away, for which we were very grateful. It was obvious Marlene loved our special needs dog very much (he's blind) and she did her best to walk him twice a day despite him not wanting to walk. (He needed the exercise to get tired and sleep). We will definitely hire Marlene again; her personality is super gentle and kind. Her apartment was impeccably clean every time I visited (3 times).

This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”

“They were a treat to work with! I was a little nervous leaving my 6-month-old Australian Shepherd because of how much energy and attention young Aussies require, but they exceeded all expectations. They took excellent care of him during his stay, including taking him on multiple hikes and making sure he got plenty of exercise and enrichment. It was clear when I got home that he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the level of attention and care they provided, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.”

Michael was so lovely to work with! He was communicative and kept us updated during Molly’s stay. Molly felt very comfortable and relaxed with him which allows us to feel relaxed while we’re away. Molly is quite old and can be a bit high maintenance but Michael was able to manage all of her medications and needs, sending her back home just as happy and comfortable as she arrived. We would love to work with Michael again.

Chad was amazing! This was the first time we'd ever boarded our dog and the longest time he'd been away from us so I was quite nervous about how it would go. Chad was very reassuring and managed our very high energy pup. Our baby was happy to see us when we picked him up but I think he would have been happy to stay at Chad's place even longer. :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Canyon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Canyon is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $91 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,252 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Canyon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

93% of sitters in Canyon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Canyon 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 Canyon.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canyon. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Canyon 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
