“May and Marc do a fantastic job of taking care of Torrey and sending us daily updates. She is always excited to see them and comes home in a great mood!”
“It was our first time using Kimberly and she was super!! We recently moved from illinois and needed someone to watch Oreo for a few days while we travelled back to illinois. Kimberly was phenomenal! We received several daily pictures including movie nights and walks outside. He really liked Ranger and Ginger, the family dogs. Very accommodating and attended to all our needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Great sitter!”
“Mya watched Frank for two nights and was a great dog sitter. She was very responsive and kept us updated with photos of our dog throughout his stay. She provided his medication at each meal and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. We recommend Mya !”
“Olivia and Sebastien took great care of our dog Mowgli! They were super responsive, kept the dogs very active, and shared lots of updates throughout the weekend. Their dog was great company for our pup and our dog seemed to really love staying with them, would recommend to anyone!”
“We are beyond grateful to have found Shilpa and her wonderful family to care for our Teddy! This was the second time they hosted him, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From the moment we arrived to drop him off, Teddy was so excited — he ran straight to their home without hesitation, which immediately gave us such peace of mind knowing he feels so safe and loved there. Shilpa and her family truly go above and beyond. They kept Teddy entertained, showered him with attention, and stayed in constant communication with us, sending frequent updates and adorable photos that made us feel so connected even while we were away. It’s so clear how much they care, and that level of dedication is something you just can’t put a price on. We will definitely continue to use Shilpa and her family for any future stays, and we highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and wonderful home for their pup while they’re away!”
“We couldn't have been happier for our puppies first visit away from home. Our pup was very well cared for and we loved the pictures and videos we got every day. They even gave her a bath! We highly recommend this place for dog boarding. It is now our dog's home away from home!”
“Maya and Corwin are truly phenomenal! Pixie enjoyed every minute while under their watchful care. Their daily pictures and updates clearly showed Pixie was loved and cared for. Maya and Corwin also don’t take in more animals than they can expertly care for. Truly the BEST. Will definitely book again!!!”
“Tara and her family were SO wonderful! After a last minute change of plans, they welcomed my puppy Rosie into their home without any problems whatsoever. They were so flexible and really just lifesavers! Rosie had the best time playing with their dog Lily, as well as their three kids. She came home happily exhausted and ready to go back for more. I loved Tara and would definitely use her again.”
“4th time! Rachelle is THE BEST! She sends so many pictures, kept our dogs an extra night when our flight was delayed, and even made cute little ink paw prints! We trust Rachelle to always take the best care of our pups.”
“Wei is really great! He took care of our dogs very well. Also he successfully manage to feed my dog medication, which is really helpful. Our dogs were having a lot of fun with Wei.”
“Winnie came home happy and calm. With our previous sitter, she was often anxious and it took an adjustment period to settle back in. After being in Claire's care, Winnie was noticeably relaxed and herself, not stressed. Claire communicated regularly and kept us informed how things were going. We will definitely reach out for Claire's help again.”
“Michael was amazing with Manu! Sent pretty frequent updates and made sure he was kept busy with often walks and playtime! Highly recommend, definitely will use again!”
“Shannon was very professional and attentive to my dog. She has a nice home for pet sitting and I felt comfortable leaving my Sadie girl there. And I’m pretty picky! I will definitely use her again.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Danae and her family took great care of my dog for several days. Lots of opportunity for play and activity...she seemed to have a blast with Walter. Appreciate that she was well cared for and came home happy.”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“What an amazing service and experience! I am so happy to have found Rover. Kurt and his family could not have been more pleasant to do business with and more importantly to leave our dog in their care. Our pre-visit allowed us the opportunity to visit their home. After this visit we were sure that this would be a great fit for our Bentley. Bentley came to them with a list of meds that they were happy to accommodate in giving to him which was a great concern for us. We received a great report on his stay and pictures while we were away. We highly recommend Kurt and his family.”

Jane was great! Her calm and kind demeanor was perfect for my two doggies. My Maltese is a 13 year old geriatric dog and to know that she also has a dog the same age, gave me peace of mind. She was great with communicating and we got pictures and video updates each day we were away. Will definitely ask her to watch my doggies again in the future. Thank you!
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 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 4,365 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.
