“Gregory was an amazing sitter. He went above and beyond to make sure Scout was not only safe, but happy. He took her on walks and to visit his mom. She got to make new doggy friends and sleep on his couch. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“All I can say is Wow! Everything was perfect with Sylvia and her pup Finn! The dogs got along so well and the yard is shaded and green. I got pictures during the stay and my dog, Deschutes was stretched out on the carpet with a face of contentment. Just what a dog owner wants to see!”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of my two pups! I really enjoyed the pictures you sent to me each day they were in your care it gave me a nice settling feeling when I was away from them . I would recommend anyone to use your services . I was very pleased. Thank you”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“Believe the hype! Tamara's home is dog-HEAVEN! Her house is full of dog beds, toys, and other cute little doggies for your furry child to play with. Thank you so much Tamara for taking care of our baby. We are already booking her again for next week!”
“Tracey is the best! I am always hesitant to leave my senior chihuahua with anyone because she can be a little difficult but Tracey put me at ease from the first meeting and upon picking my little one up after her stay, I am not sure she was even excited to see me😂I have already recommended Tracey to a friend and will be calling her again. Thank you Tracey for taking such good care of my baby💕”
“Alesya was so wonderful with my little dog Eddie! She was so sweet to him! I know Eddie felt so good with her, she treated my little dog as if it were hers. They went on 2 walks a day which Eddie loved! Alesya is a very warm person, she sat with him and comforted him when he got nervous She truly is the best! Fondly, Maureen Bolla”
“I felt like I left my dogs with family! I received photos and updates throughout the weekend, and never even worried about how my dogs were doing - it's like they had their own vacation”
“This is the first time that I've used Johnna, and all have to say is the cats warmed up to her immediately. Is she a pet whisperer? Everything went smoothly and she did everything I asked. She cleaned up litter messes and took it out to our outside garbage can so there was no litter smells when we got home. She spent time playing with them and even got my anxious cat to warm up to her. Definitely recommend her!”
“This is my second time leaving my girl with Nadya and her family. My dog got excited when we got close to their home. They treat her like family and I feel so comfortable leaving her with them. So grateful to have found them”
“Coco took great care of our dog and cat! She is a hidden gem of a sitter. We have tried several sitters with 100+ reviews in the area (far more than Coco at the time of writing) and she is by far the best sitter. She was easy to communicate with, sent daily updates with lots of photos/videos focused on our pets, and genuinely took good care of our pets.”
“Incredibly kind & compassionate, knowledgeable pet sitter!! I have her saved in my phone as "BEST PET NANNY EVER" Julia and her whole family is amazing. They all loved and treated Winnie like she was their family dog. I knew instantly I could trust them to take care of my wild child. 10/10 will be booking again!! Thank you Julia & Fam!! 💫🥰💫”
“Alexis and her family took great care of my two pups! They both had so much fun playing with the other dogs and kids. We will book again in the future, thanks Alexis!”

Our pups were well taken care of and we received daily updates and pictures to relieve any apprehensions. Kelsea and Ian were flexible and accommodating with our schedule and it was a joy knowing our fur babies were being loved while we were away. I would definitely use their services again. ❤️
We couldn’t have been happier with the care our dogs received from Tammy while we were away for two weeks. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being cared for in a loving home instead of just being watched. Tammy sent us pictures every couple of days, which reassured us that they were happy and doing well. We loved seeing them socializing with other dogs, playing, and even cuddling on the couch like part of the family. It was obvious they were receiving plenty of love, attention, and exercise. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted—a true sign they had been exceptionally well cared for. Tammy truly treated them as if they were her own, and we are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. We would absolutely trust Tammy with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Boards our furry guy with Michael for the first time for a weeklong vacation. We were a little anxious about leaving him anywhere for that length of time, but Michael and his wife took good care of him. He was a healthy happy puppy when we got him back. They have a good space and a great attitude about taking care of dogs. Recommended.
Gregory was absolutely amazing with my dog. He kept me well informed of how my dog was doing throughout the visit and provided me photos that reassured me that my dog was happy and having a great time. Gregory was also very mindful of my dogs special needs and always took those into consideration while he was watching him. I will definitely be boarding my pup with him again. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I’m grateful to have found such an amazing and caring Dog Sitter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David
Mariana has a very calming presence, which was great for my anxious Larry dog. She was prompt in communicating and assertive when asking for clarification, which I really appreciated. She sent regular updates/pictures while Larry was in her care for a whole 8 days. Needless to say, he seemed very content when it time to pick him up! I would highly recommend Mariana and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her again!
Nancy was an outstanding dog sitter for Zoey! From the moment I booked with her, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout Zoey’s stay, Nancy sent frequent updates, photos, and messages so I always knew how she was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zoey was in such caring and capable hands. I could tell Nancy genuinely cared about her and treated her like one her own. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter.
Rhonda took amazing care of my baby girl! She treated Chewie like she was her own and even sent me photos throughout each day. I'm so thankful to have found Rhonda on the Rover app. Chewie is looking forward to her next visit with Rhonda and her two little dogs. Chewie made new friends! Choose Rhonda for your next pet sitting needs and you will not be disappointed!
All I can say is Wow! Everything was perfect with Sylvia and her pup Finn! The dogs got along so well and the yard is shaded and green. I got pictures during the stay and my dog, Deschutes was stretched out on the carpet with a face of contentment. Just what a dog owner wants to see!
Erin & Devin communicated well about our dog & sent pictures. They truly seemed to care about him - brushed him, played with him in addition to his walks. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our trip & see pictures of a happy dog that was well cared for! We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Erin & Devin.
Jesenia and her family were amazing. Very accommodating with great communication. I got lots of pictures of my big girl while we were on our trip and I could tell she was being well cared for. Basil had lots of other pups to play with during her stay, which I love. We will definitely be rebooking in the future.
Excellent experience from start to finish! Jennifer shared frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay. Tremendously thoughtful, kind and communicative! We had utmost peace of mind that our pup was given the highest level of care possible. Thank you so so much!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Citrus Heights on Rover is $43.29 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 1,686 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Citrus Heights. 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.
94% of Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights.
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 Citrus Heights 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.
