“Cindy was amazing with our pups. She was very knowledgeable, offered training feedback, and followed our feedback about their needs and personalities. Love that she took the time to engage with them and tired them out. Will definitely book with her again.”
“I would definitely book with Olivia again. I had never left my dog behind before and I was little worried because she has separation anxiety but Olivia sent me constant updates of my dog and took amazing care of her.”
“Sameer took great care of my dog Tyson! He spent a lot of time training him and Tyson came back happy from his time with him. Sameer also was very quick with updates and sent a lot of pictures to us which we really enjoyed! Thank you Sameer!”
“Adrienne and Edgar are awesome!! They were super responsive during our initial communications and sent plenty of photos of our Lula to reassure us that she was fitting in well in their home. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“The moment I met Marsha, I liked her. She was so friendly and answered my questions during the meet and greet that I felt at ease leaving Daisy with her. I was happy to know that there would be other dogs at Marsha's place as well that Daisy would have lot of time to play with while we were gone. I was glad that Marsha would send me photos and videos of Daisy's stay and it did look like Daisy was enjoying herself. I'm glad that I found Marsha especially during the holidays when we were out of town. I look forward to having Daisy stay with Marsha again in the future.”
“Suzanne is a wonderful and trustworthy dog sitter. She has a beautiful property for dogs to roam around safely outside. She also helped with my dogs eye drops and pills with no problem.”
“Kimberly took such great care of my dog. She frequently sent photo and video updates multiple times a day so I knew what my dog was up to at all times. She even went out of her way to buy treats that my dog could eat, considering her allergies. When I went to go pick her up, my dog was so attached that she didn’t want to leave! Truly grateful for the care and love that Kimberly showed my dog, will happily rebook another time and recommend her to all others!”
“Janine and her family are amazing people and really develop a great connection to your dog. They are by far the best sitter we have found on Rover and we hope to have our Putter with them any time we need to be out of town. Very nice yard for dogs, very attentive to their individual needs, and they love interacting with them. So happy we found them!”
“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”
“Great experience with Robyn. My dog Barley was very happy when I picked him up. Robyn updated me with pictures while we were away. He was exercised regularly and taken care of really well. Super happy with his care.”
“Lihuan id a great job, kept me updated with pictures and videos daily, followed instructions. Was timely with pickup and drop of. I would definitely trust Annie to Lihuan again! Thank you :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 7 years old! I watched my puppies grow into seniors and have been well trained with caring for them as they age. Whether it’s refilling their bowls with fresh cold water or massaging their joints when they become sore, I’ve done it all! I have experience giving medication, cleaning throw up and poop and much more! I’m highly attentive with a soft spot for furry babies! All my photos are of my own pets or pets I’ve sat for, my house is currently animal free and waiting for your puppy/kitty to join me! Im a recent graduate from the University of Oregon! Im at home full-time, please bring me your sweet puppies and kitties for an awesome sitting! I’m currently working from home and will be able to have eyes on your little one all day. Additionally, I have a fenced yard where your puppy can run around and play! My house is clean with space to sit and walk around ensuring your pet will be able to wind down for a movie or fetch toys depending on the mood!
“Another awesome stay with Jie (and Chow Chow)! I always feel reassured that Hana will receive great care when we are away. Jie sends multiple updates and photos every day which is much appreciated. She is the best!”
“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“We are grateful for the care Natasha and Diana provided for our pets. They were friendly, experienced and communicated well.We boarded our cat and dog for 3 weeks, and in that time we got daily updates and pictures of them, so we felt reassured and at ease during our trip. I would definitely recommend Natasha and Diana as sitters.”

Cindy did an exceptional job taking care of Milo. He stayed with her for a week. She was patient and very attentive providing daily updates, photos and videos. Milo has a lot of energy and is very playful, he had a great time socializing with the other dogs in her care. Very pleased with the care she provided and will be using her services in the future!
Samantha has been so warm and welcoming to us and our little Milly. There was open and constant updates with pics and videos. We knew Milly was in a safe, happy and healthy environment at Samantha’s. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Milly was well taken care of!
I’m so glad I chose to book with Socorro! Loki usually has separation anxiety in all the other homes I take him but seemed to calm right down with her! I dropped him off and picked him worry free, and appreciated all the pics she sent. Will for sure be the first person I text the next time I go out of town!
Mariana is the best! She was super welcoming for the meet and greet and has a pack of her own... Everything went smoothly including administering meds and walks and dinner. She was very good at following the instructions (I have 2 very geriatric dogs that need a lot of specific attention!) and easy pickup process. I will book her for the future as she is super close by.. Thank you Mariana!
We couldn’t be happier with Adrienne and her family! They took such wonderful care of our Tigger during his 3-day, 2-night stay. They treated him like part of their family, gave him lots of attention, took him on walks, and sent us plenty of pictures and updates. Seeing how happy and comfortable Tigger was gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tigger also enjoyed spending time and playing with their dog, Nigel. It was clear when we picked him up that he felt safe, loved, and very comfortable with them. We’re truly grateful to Adrienne and her family for taking such good care of our boy. We definitely found a family we can trust with Tigger and would happily have them watch him again. Highly recommended! ❤️🐾
Jenna and her partner run a doggy boarding and daycare, I highly recommend them. They are amazing and treat all furry friends like family. We needed our dog lucky to stay somewhere last minute and Jenna got back to me and everything worked out perfectly and lucky warmed up so fast to them. I couldn’t be more grateful ☺️
Michael was amazing! He responded quickly to every message, making it incredibly easy to coordinate pickup and drop-off. He was also very flexible with his schedule, which gave our family peace of mind since we had different travel dates. Michael quickly understood that our dog, Walter, has some nervous energy when meeting other dogs. That didn't faze him at all—he welcomed Walter with patience and kindness, making sure he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout his stay. Michael and his family are our first choice for dog sitting, and we will absolutely be booking with them again whenever we need someone to care for our pup. We highly recommend them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Castro Valley on Rover is $59.94 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 7,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Castro Valley. 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.
92% of Castro Valley 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 Castro Valley 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 Castro Valley 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 Castro Valley.
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 Castro Valley 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.
