“May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰”
“Shilpa and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Milton while we were away. He was completely spoiled over there and had the best time. They also sent a lot of pictures of him, so my kids were able to see how much fun he was having too! I will definitely try to use them for our next getaway.”
“Hi! Sophie's stay with Kurt and family was AWESOME! The last time I took Sophie to a sitter (someone else) she came back a totally crazed wild dog that I did not recognize. This time Sophie came home a calm, well behaved, well adjusted normal dog. She was very well taken care of and she will hopefully stay there again. ”
“Kimberly always takes the best care of Luna, is so communicative, and always sends the sweetest pictures so we know that Luna is having the best time. So thankful for you, Kimberly!!”
“Michelle and Steve are amazing, and Gordon has a blast when he goes to stay. We are especially grateful for Michelle’s experience, the extra care she brings when looking after Gordon, and the great communication. Thank you so much!!!”
“Maya was amazing and showed my senior so much affection and care! Hayden felt right at home, and we will definitely be rebooking next time. I appreciated all the photos, and felt confident my dog was in a safe and happy home :) Thank you!!”
“Victoria is the best sitter! I can tell my dog had such a good time, and she’s great about communication and was so flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to extend my booking. Thanks Victoria!”
“I’m very happy with the care Luna received during her stay with Alexis. I received daily updates with pictures and felt at ease while I was away. Her dog Penny was very friendly and played with my pup as well. Highly recommend.”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Sue and Dick were great with Speckle. They sent pictures and little updates daily which was much appreciated. We’ve already booked our next boarding appointment. Thanks again.”
“Jocelyn was a great sitter! She was very responsive when it came to communication and appreciated that she asked before treating my dog to a pup cup. Would def book again!”
“Rachelle was super easy to coordinate with and gave lots of picture and video updates as well as written updates on their activities throughout the days. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her and will certainly book with her again!”
“Olivia and Sebastian took great care of our dog. Our dog loved playing with their dog! They sent regular updates with pictures and video and provided a great experience. Highly recommend and will be using them in the future.”
“Margaret was an amazing care taker of our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us informed with pictures and updates daily. She even scheduled several playdates with another dog which made them smile. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. We will use her again. We were so grateful to find her on short notice.”
“Sean and his wife took amazing care of our dog, Ollie while we went on a family vacation to Kauai. I received daily photo updates, and beautiful sunset hike images of Ollie out enjoying nature. It wasn’t easy leaving our boy behind for the first time, but knowing Ollie was in such capable and loving hands made all the difference. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible pet care. I will definitely be using Seans services in the future!”
“I immediately knew my pup was in good hands when I met Keely - he was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks and gave him all the puppy love! Highly recommend Keely , 5/5 experience - will definitely be using again!”
“It was my dog's first stay with Chong's family. I think he had a very good time with them. Chong sent me pictures every day, and it was helpful to know how well he was doing. Thank you so much for the great care.”

Our doodle has anxiety when he is away from us so we needed a place for him that was calm and he felt comfortable. Jane and her home were perfect. Jane is so kind and gentle with our dog. She gave him lots of love, walks, and trips to the park. We will definitely be rebooking her for our next trip. Thanks, Jane 😊
Very great experience for my dogs. Ari gave updates regularly and sent photos. Would highly recommend. My dogs can be nervous but they took to Ari quickly and didn’t have any transition issues when they returned home which I know can sometimes happen for nervous dogs.
We left our Wheaten Terrier, Finn, with Linda for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.
Kari was amazing with Britt! This was our first time leaving Britt with a caregiver, and we felt very comfortable leaving her for a long weekend. Kari sent regular photos, took Britt on 2 daily walks, and truly treated her like her own dog. Her family also embraced Britt with open arms. We would definitely use Kari's services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cardiff on Rover is $65.49 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,404 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cardiff. 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff.
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 Cardiff 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.
