“We left Peppa with Gregory for 5 night, and I think she had the best time of her life with him! He took her to regular walks and sent us very detailed regular updates, which we appreciated a lot! He also made sure to give her her meds on time and took care of her hygiene. Totally recommend him for your pet, he's very knowledgeable and resourceful sitter! We would definitely love to have him petsit our dog next time we need a sitter. :)”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Olesia and her husband are truly the best people we’ve ever met when it comes to finding someone we can trust with our cat, GG. Per usual, she sends us pictures and videos leaving us relaxed. She is attentive, considerate, and overall a great human being! Thank you for all that you do for our family!!”
“Nancy was absolutely awesome! She took excellent care of our guy with plenty of exercise. More than he is used to! He came back a little trimmer! He also had plenty of his favorite thing...relaxing next to someone on a couch! She only does obe dog at a time which is even better. She has a wealth of experience with training large dogs. I highly recommend her.”
“Tammy is a great sitter. She took care of my two dogs( one was a 4 month old puppy) they both were great under her care. Tammy even helped me get on the Rover app as I was having trouble booking her during meet and greet. I would love to drop my doggies to Tammy anytime!!”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”
“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“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.”
“Leslie was very communicative and took very good care of my older dog Penny who needed additional attention and medications. This was my first time leaving Penny with a sitter and I would absolutely take her back to Leslie's if need be!”
“Jena was more than amazing. She made Noelle's day. In fact, Noelle feel in love with her family within days. Jena would constantly update us with photos and updated news of Noelle. I highly recommend anyone who is a dog lover to book with Jena. I know that I will book with Jena in the future. I can't say enough about Jana. Thank you so much from Frank & Elesia. Noelle will miss you guys.”
“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”
“Susan and Irv took great care of Enola. Susan kept us updated and sent pictures to show how much fun Enola was having. This is the second time Enola has stayed with Susan and she definitely feels at home.”

Tamara was amazing as always! I always appreciate all the pictures and updates, it’s so nice to know that my baby is safe and happy there! Tamara has this down to a science, and you can tell when you see all the happy dogs! It can be so scary leaving your dog with someone you don’t know, so I love that I have someone I trust to take care of my girl <3
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.
Wow what an awesome job Nadya and her daughter did taking care of our little one. This was our 10 month old corgie first time away from us and we were a little nervous but when we met them and seen the there place, our minds were at ease. We received many pictures and videos of our little guy on his walks and playing. I highly recommend Nadya and my wife and I are so happy to know Kevin has a great place to go when we head out of town on trips.
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!
This was the first time I left my doggies with someone that wasn't family. Then I found Gregory. He sent me updates and so many pictures every day. I could tell how much my dogs were comfortable with him. Plus this made me relax on my vacation and not stress about my dogs. If I need a dog sitter again, he will be the first person I call.
Julia was amazing with Minnie! She kept us updated, sent lots of photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Minnie came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Erin and Devin, what can I say. This was our boys first stay away from his family. Erin and Devin sent me updates with pics everyday, took him on lots of walks and loved on him like he was part of their family. Scoobz had a great time. They are very sweet people, very easy to talk to and are definitely dog lovers. Highly recommend!
Galady the best care of our sweet Bumblebee while we were out of town for the weekend. She made sure she was comfortable, cared for and attended to, and sent me lots of updates. Bumblebee loved playing with Galady's puppy Shadow, and they are now best friends. It is not every day you find a pet sitter that gives you full confidence that your precious dog is safe and cared for. I will definitely book pet sitting with Galady again. ☺️
Echo came home one happy pup! I knew she'd be in good hands w/ Sara & her family from the moment we first arrived for our meet & greet. Echo felt right at home during our initial visit and she couldn't be happier with kiddos to play frisbee w/ her in the backyard. A friendly & kind family, so that makes it easy. Many thanks for being flexible w/ pick up time. She'd love to stay again 🐾
Mariana was amazing with our boy! She made sure to second me updates and photos frequently. She even went above and beyond by purchasing him a new collar when his original one broke. That was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and something she certainly didn’t have to do. We are so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gave him. We would highly recommend Mariana to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet!
I cannot recommend this sitter highly enough. From the very first interaction, he was kind, professional, and genuinely put me at ease — which, as a pet owner, means everything. His experience with dogs is evident in every way, and my dogs were clearly in the best hands. If you're in the Roseville, Auburn, or Sacramento area and looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur family, look no further. Easily one of the best sitters on Rover in this region. We'll absolutely be booking again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Citrus Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
