“This was Sierra’s first time with Greg—she is usually a little anxious in new situations but settled in very quickly with him. He understands dogs and he knew exactly how to make Sierra comfortable and at ease. He sent us multiple photos every day and updated us frequently. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about how she was getting along. We’ll definitely book Greg again!”
“Nancy was perfect! I didn’t worry or fret about my dog’s well being and had a stress free night out away! It was our first time being separated over night. He did great, largely, I’m sure because of Nancy ! He will be staying with her again for sure.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Olesia and her husband! They took incredible care of GG and treated him like their own. Their updates were thoughtful and consistent, and it was so clear how much they genuinely cared for him. GG can be particular, but he warmed up immediately- which says everything! We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We’ll absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Olesia! ♥️”
“Just the best every time! My dog jumps over me in the car to get to her when we drive up. I get endless pictures and videos and she always looks to be having the best time. When I pick her up she is at ease and happy and I know she gets so much love and attention.”
“Laura always makes me feel comfortable leaving my furry friend with her when we go on trips . She always sends me pics so I can see how my pet is doing. It is comforting knowing my pet is in good hands with Laura. Thanks again, Laura! Until next time 😁”
“Thank you Michael with your unconditional care to our Tobi. Leaving our Tobi for 3 weeks could have been worrisome, however Michael lifted up that feelings with peaceful mind that our fur baby is in good hands. Can’t thank enough with Michaels wonderful care.”
About: Having cared for family pets alongside my own, I’m excited to open my home to welcome your dog with loving, safe, and experienced care! I work from home full-time with a flexible 8-hour schedule. I'm available for boarding and dog-sitting services on weekdays and weekends. I have a spacious fenced backyard. I also have my own dog who is sweet, friendly, and spayed. New dogs will play and socialize too.
“Johnna was amazing! She was super communicative throughout Milo’s stay, sending me regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. Milo instantly felt comfortable with her, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave him. I would recommend Johnna to anyone!”

“Jenna was great! I had my senior dog stay with her and because she is older there are many requirements and directions for her proper care. Jenna was attentive to learning, asked appropriate questions and provided a very safe and comfortable home for my fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again myself in the future. Thanks Jenna🐶😊”
“Katie did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She makes sure to update you and send you pictures of how your pet is doing. My shy kitty warmed up to her kindness easily. I’d definitely reach out to her again if I needed my pets taken care of and you should too !”
“Rachel and her family were great. She took great care of our pups for a week and was in regular communication the whole time. Any concerns or questions she had was communicated so I knew our docs would be well cared for. Our poodle mix loved playing with her bigger dog and our little chi mix played with her smaller dog- perfect match!”

Tammy was amazing with my dog Luca. He had a great time and was having a lot of fun with her dogs. Tammy was great with communication and sent lots of pics . Luca will Definitely be going back and i will be recommending Tammy to all my friends and family. Thank you so much !
Nancy is wonderful and by far the best caretaker of our dogs that we have ever had. Nancy takes the time and effort to get to know the dogs she cares for and their unique needs. We have a very energetic border collie, and Nancy goes the extra mile to ensure that our dog gets plenty of walks, games, and stimulation. She provides daily updates and amazing photos. We cannot thank her enough for the exceptional care that she provides.
This was our first time leaving our dogs in the care of Jennifer. We have two large dogs and were a bit nervous at first to leave them for an entire week, but she eased our minds at the meet & greet we had set up. Everything went perfectly and we couldn’t be happier that we found her! She sent us multiple photos and updates per day. She was super responsive to messages. We would be happy to have her watch our dogs again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!
Yasmith & Jay are a lovely couple! They communicated and sent pictures often and we could tell our dog was getting spoiled! They were extremely flexible with our last-minute booking request, and I truly appreciated that. Our dog had a great time with them and looked great when we picked him up! They even gave him a bath while he was there. If needed, I will be using their services again. I would highly recommend Yasmith and Jay to watch your fur babies! I trust them 100%!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Citrus Heights is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $58 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
