“Just amazing! Gregory is a great communicator and sent me tons of pics! He took them on lots of walks other adventures. We will absolutely be using Gregory on repeat!! We are so thankful.”
“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!”
“Was really pleased with Tammy. She loved my dogs and they loved her. She was well versed on the care, knowledge and treatment of the pups. I would recommend her too everyone!”
“Tamara and her home was the perfect place for us to leave Jasper as we traveled out of town. Her attention to detail to provide a safe and happy home left us with little to worry about. I now know where Jasper will be safe for our next trip, and will be referring her to friends in the future. Jasper would like to thank Tamara and Lucky for the holiday gift.”
“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! ♥️”
“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!”
“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!”
“I left Sawyer with Michael for an entire week and Michael took very good care of Sawyer. I couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else. He is the best babysitter on Rover. You’re missing out if you do not book him! if I can give him 20 stars, I would!!!”
“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”
“These guys are the literal best! They’ve been watching our high energy German Shepard for well over a year and she knows them as her 2nd family. They always send photo updates while we’re away and are understanding when we’ve been late. I couldn’t imagine trusting her with anyone else.”
“Nancy took amazing care of my senior dog Abbey for a week while we were out of town. She took her on frequent walks, and gave her lots of attention. We got photo and video updates of how Abbey was doing. We felt like Abbey was in great hands while we were gone. Would definitely have Nancy take care of our dog again.”
“This was a wonderful pet vacation for my Jax! Dave and his dogs were very inviting to my little boy. When I first got to the meet and greet I knew right away that Jax was at his second home! If you have a smaller breed dog I would highly recommend Dave, he even let Jax snuggle in bed with him at night! His large breed dogs were very gentle and his puppy ghost was very playful. Dave would send me pics and videos of dogs playing and living there best life's! I truly didn't feel guilty leaving my Jax! Such a great feeling knowing he was cared for like it was his own dog! I will use Dave know evertime I go out of town!”
“I appreciate the communication I received from Leslie throughout our first trial one night stay of my highly anxious, deaf, blind senior miniature pinscher. Leslie clearly has a lot of experience with high needs pets and her competence made me feel more comfortable about leaving my pet in her care. He was high maintenance this visit but Leslie took it all in stride and I’m happy she is willing to take him again in the future.”
“Qing was a fantastic pet sitter. Super communicative and I felt at ease the whole weekend. Lilah loved her stay and was active, loved and very appreciative of all the attention she got. Will book again!”
“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.”
“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”

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.
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!
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.

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.
