“Blaze was amazing and was sure to give constant updates and photos. Her property is tailored for dogs to have plenty of space to run around and be happy. Will definitely be making her home our dog’s home away from home when we travel!”
“Really grateful we found Irina. We have NEVER left our fur baby with anyone, but last minute plans meant we were in a bind and needed care for our dog over the weekend. Irina was very responsive and communicative. She invited us inside during the drop off which really helped us feel comfortable. You can tell she is an animal lover. She was very sweet with our pup. She sent photos and videos throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Irina. One tip, if you are using Irina's services for the first time, I would recommend writing down any feeding or care instructions. English is her second language so written care instructions are helpful.”
“Anais was great and communicated well. She took care of Brownie and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Will recommend her to everyone and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“We boarded our 9 month old pup for the first time with Denise. She is absolutely amazing! We were super nervous leaving her and wanted to try a more personal boarding experience. Denise did not disappoint. She sent frequent pics & videos of our girl. We could tell she was having a ball & getting so much love & attention from Denise & her family. We will definitely be using her for all of our future boarding needs!”
“Briana was great! She loved our dog Mochi like she was one of her own. She kept us updated about her during our vacation and gave us daily pictures. Communication was exclellent and she was very responsive. Our family will defenitely be using her again if we ever have to take a vacation without our furry friend. Thanks Briana for caring of our beloved family member!”
“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“Kenia always takes great care of my dog. He's become a regular. She gives him regular walks and lots of attention, and makes sure he is comfortable. Much appreciated!”
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and me and my partner, Brandon, are home everyday. This gives us plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine.
“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Sarswati and her family took such wonderful care of Sadie while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Sadie was doing well. Her family is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly knows how to care for dogs. It was clear that Sadie was loved and well cared for throughout her stay. We will absolutely be booking with Sarswati again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Sadie!”
“Yifang was able to board Todd on short notice. She was friendly and her place was clean and secured. Todd was relaxed even though it was his first time there, and he had a great stay at her home. Yifang kept me updated with pictures and messages! Five stars for her.”
“Sheri was great. Easy to communicate with for pick up and drop off. Paleka had fun and had a beaming smile when I picked him up. I’ll definitely use Sheri for pet sitting in the future!”
“Lori is fantastic with animals and always brings any changes in behavior during their to my attention. I feel good knowing the pups are well cared for and a bit spoiled while theyvare in her care. We are repeat (again and again and agiain!) customers of Lori !”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I have been a go-to sitter for family and friends for many years and look forward to having your furry friend join my dog Trixie and me for the day. I am a notary who works from home. My notary work takes only a few hours a week, so I have lots of time to be present and care for your pet. Trixie and I would enjoy taking your dog on walks in the neighborhood; we have a park around the corner. I have a fenced backyard with room for your pet to run around or stretch out in the sun and relax. My 13-pound dog Trixie is calm and friendly and loves having other dogs come to stay.
“Julie was super accommodating and able to meet our last minute request, which was awesome! Her home was very lovely and the yard was a good size for the dogs to run about. I absolutely love how the dogs come through the back door to the yard and have a little "containment" area so that their leashes can come off and then be let in to meet the other little furbabies. On the last day/evening, we were going to head back down to Southern California via car, and she asked if we needed the pups fed. She was so thoughtful and our little buddies were nice and full for the long trip.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Clay is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,553 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Clay 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 Clay 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 Clay.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clay. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Clay 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
