“Peter is very kind and easy to communicate and work with. Peter is accessible and transparent while you’re away, which takes one important task off your plate when traveling for work. I could tell Ziba had a great time given her excitement to play with Peter when we picked her up. Thanks, Peter. 🙏🏼”
“Shirley is the best! We went on an international trip and Shirley made us so comfortable and connected to our sweet girl while we were so far away! We so appreciate her pictures/videos and the individual attention she is able to show our small dog. Thanks Shirley!”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“It was the absolute best experience. Cristal was constantly communicating to give us updates on our pup and what his day looked like. We got pictures every day to see him playing and napping which brought us so much peace of mind. On top of that she was so sweet and gave our dog her own treats because I forgot to pack some for him. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would do so in a heart beat. I don’t think I would feel confortable boarding my pup anywhere else.”
“Nadia & Liam took such great care of our pups! My husband and I are very picky about who watch our French Bulldogs, so we were very hesitant at first to try out Rover. But after meeting Nadia and Liam we felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They truly put us at ease while we were out of town. They had a great space for the dogs to run around and explore, which the dogs were loving! They sent daily updates, pictures and videos of the dogs which we looked forward to everyday. It was so comforting knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with Nadia & Liam again!”
“He was great. He sent videos and photos throughout her stay with him. He has his own dog supplies as well, which was helpful because we accidentally left some of her stuff and was rushing. She looked so content and happy in the sun. I would definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking care of Mocha!”
About: I've had dogs and cats (and also horses and goats) all my life. I have a flexible schedule and is willing to work with you and your pet’s needs. Having one myself, I specialize in French bulldogs. I don't discriminate on the breed but I completely understand their sometimes difficult needs and also their funny little stubborn personalities. While I don't have many reviews on Rover, I have many repeating clients that I can provide testimonials from if needed. My work schedule is very flexible. I also have a dog door that goes to the backyard if they're comfortable with using that, otherwise somebody is almost always home. We don't leave dogs unattended. I live in a house with a fenced backyard. I also live very close to parks if your dog prefers those. Also we have a fenced in area that I can let the dogs roam. I also have a friendly dog so if your dog needs a friend he’s more than willing. They can also easily be separated and mine crated
“This was my first time using Rover, and since we’ve had our dog, Comet, for only a few months, I was feeling really unsure about the whole process. Allison completely put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a wealth of knowledge and experience with dogs. She has now watched Comet on multiple occasions, both for overnight boarding and daycare. Comet is always so excited to go back, which is the true review right there! He has so much fun that he usually needs a full day of recovery when he gets home! If she's able to she will take Comet out for a walk but there is so much room for him to run around and play in her yard that he always finds a way to get all his energy out. Allison is incredibly thoughtful, friendly, and consistent with sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I definitely recommend her and plan to continue entrusting her with Comet's care.”
“You guys are amazing! You took great care of Maggie! I was sent regular updates with photos and videos. We were able to completely relax on our trip knowing our pup was in great hands. We can't wait to book our next stay!"”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Judith is an awesome sitter with a great set up for dogs in her home/yard. She’s been so accommodating and has reduced the stress of my dog sitting needs!! Thanks so much Judith!”
“We had a great experience with Sally. We got pictures and updates almost everyday, seeing what great care Reggie was getting. Sally went above and beyond to make sure that Reggie was comfortable, and well cared for during his visit. We will definitely be bringing him back to Sally. ”
“Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen if Lauren is not available for my fur babies. Nylah and Whitney exhibited behavior with Lauren that they truly don't do when I'm not around. It's not just that my babies were cared for they were loved. And trust, animals absolutely will show you if they weren't loved up on. 10/10 recommended!”
“Rambo has been on playdates and overnights at Sabrina’s house since he was a pup years ago. He is always super excited to come back and we have total peace of mind when he is here that he will have an awesome time and be very well cared for and loved. 100% recommended.”
“Great experience for Stella, my 3 year old Border Collie / Husky mix. Both Lisa and her two dogs were very welcoming and Stella had a great time. I would not hesitate to use Lisa again !! Thanks Lisa !”
“Stacy was such a great fit for our healer with big feelings! She is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. Stacy sent pics and updates - and it was clear at pickup that Cali enjoyed her stay.”

Allison has watched our dog Buddy twice now and both times have been amazing. She is super easy to communicate with and is very accommodating. She even went out of her way to replace Buddy’s toy that he chewed to shreds while he was there. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve had on Rover so far. Highly recommend!
This is Bowser’s second stay and just like last time, he had such an awesome stay!!! In fact, when I dropped him off, he knew where he was and he started wagging haha. He was also greeted by cheers and belly rubs, Mauro and his wife both love dogs! Every time Bowser stays here, he gets to play with other pups and have a fun sleepover. Mauro’s place has the one of the best setup I’ve ever seen, it can accommodate dogs of all sizes. And Mauro has lots of experience with dogs, I really trust him with our mastiff Bowser. Bowser can’t wait for the next stay!
I highly recommend Niraj! Our bulldog Wally has a lot of anxiety and is a often tough to watch because of his energy. Niraj was so great with him and made us feel at ease while we were away traveling. He provided daily updates and had a great calm energy that Wally needed in a sitter. He was also very responsive in his communication and flexible. We will definitely be going back to Niraj in the future!
Our pup had a wonderful time staying with Joseph, Ofelia and their kids. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Mishka was loved and well cared for. Communication was excellent and they were flexible with last minute changes to the schedules. Highly recommended! We would be happy to have Mishka visit again.
Our first time staying with Nancy and we will definitely request her again. Great communication and pictures. Our dog was so happy to arrive and quickly made himself at home. He had a few special instructions and she followed each one exactly. I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Nancy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $68 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 5,180 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clayton. 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.
93% of Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton 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.
