“Greg is an amazing caregiver. He spoils my dog so much. Bring her to him is a treat for her. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing she will have multiple daily walks, a regular routine and loving care. This time my flight was delayed and I couldn’t pick up at the set time. Greg was understanding and super accommodating. He helped make a tough situation so much less stressful. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Victoria has taken care of my dog now multiple times. I appreciate that she’s available last minute, and I can tell that she really loves my dog. Overall, I am very happy with his care and it gives me such a peace of mind when I go out of town.”
“Kendra goes beyond what is expected to make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and well cared for. I don't think my dog could have been in better hands. I would not hesitate to use her.”
“Derek and Leslie took care of Ozzy on the 4th of July. Ozzy is scared of fireworks and is also a big dog but they even let him pay on their bed for comfort and I really appreciate them for it!”
“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!”
“Jena and family provided very loving and attentive care of our dog Harper. They took her for walks, played with her, loved on her and were very understanding and persistent in encouraging Harper to eat (she is more into people and play than food). Jena provided photos often showing Harper’s time with them which we enjoyed and appreciated. I highly recommend Jena and would be happy to use her services again.”
“Erin and Devin were absolutely wonderful sitters for my dog! From the moment we connected, they were communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing my Aussie was in such caring hands. They provided daily updates, gave plenty of attention, and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin and Devin again”
“Julia and her family was wonderful with our puppy, Leia. It was hard for us to leave her behind but we knew she would be loved and taken care of. We liked the pictures and updates from Julia, our puppy had such a wonderful time! We will be rebooking again. Thank you so much for loving our Leia.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Our doggies love going to Leslie’s! We have used her for a second time and felt totally comfortable leaving them. She provided the cutest pictures of them and they were obviously either relaxed and having fun or sleeping peacefully.”
“Nadya and her family took great care of our Golden for 10 days. Lots of videos and pictures. Lots of details on how girl was doing. Her family clearly loves pets and treats them like their own. I highly recommend Nadya for pet sitting.”
“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!!”
“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.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog! She took such great care of her over the past few days, and we could tell she was in good hands the whole time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Greg was awesome. We had an accident two days before our trip that required a vet visit. So we had last minute complications that Greg easily accommodated. Both our dogs are a little shy but Greg slowly won them over. Greg is very observant of dog behavior/cues and knows when to be patient with a dog.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Nancy took such wonderful care of our pup and gave her lots of love, attention, and companionship. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure our pup was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Nancy!
Great sitter for our little fur pup! Had great communucation, always updated us daily, and gave plenty of pictures to see what our little rascal was up to. Followed any extra instructions given, and gave our dog the attention needed while dealing with a family emergency. Will definitely be using again, and couldn’t recommend more!!! A+++
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%!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Citrus Heights on Rover is $43.29 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 1,677 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.
95% 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.
