“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.”
“My dog had the best time with Peter. She was well cared for and Peter was great with communication while we were away. We will definitely bring our dog back for a future stay.”
“Shirley & her family were great. Duffy (my dog) had a great time with them and their two dogs. She was so nice to Duffy and I received great photos & videos my time away. I can not express how good it felt knowing Duffy was well taken care of. It made my vacation that more fun & relaxing. Thank you, Shirley and Family”
“Liam and his wife took great care of our 16 year old senior dog. Usually our dog has separation anxiety and does not eat or sleep well, however, after a 11 day stay our dog appeared well rested and had maintained his weight. Their property is fully enclosed and very large (1 acre) so it allows dogs space to roam around and get exercise. In addition the Iron horse trail is next door and easily accessible for walks. Liam is very friendly and clearly is a dog person. Our dog actually was looking for them when we brought him home so in that short amount of time he became attached to them. I would highly recommend Liam and his wife to take care of your dog!”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”
“Marilu and family consistently takes good care of our two dogs, they keep them busy with lots of fun activities and cuddles! You will never worry as you are updated frequently. There's peace of mind whenever we leave our dogs with them. Glad we found this family who genuinely treats our dogs as theirs!”
“In Aug 2015 we had our dog do an overnight ‘test run’ and Sally was fantastic! Our little guy, Koji, felt very comfortable staying with her, interacted great with her dog and loved the big back yard! We will be regular boarding customers for a long time to come and I totally recommend Sally for your boarding and daycare needs! –Yosi W: Concord CA”
“Jovelle was very sweet and accommodating to our two energetic and anxious dogs! She is very communicative, thoughtful, and amazing! We will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter.”
“Stefanie is amazing! We were nervous when our original sitter didn’t work out for our 6 month old puppy, but were able to book Stefanie and were beyond impressed! She is very experienced, knowledgeable, sweet and caring. I love that she communicated with us daily and sent photos as well. It put our kinds as ease while we were away. You can tell just how much Stefanie loves caring for pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her. You will not be disappointed and your furry friend will have the best time ❤️”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“Virginie, Max and their 2 amazing daughters were amazing with my dog ! My husband and I needed to take a 4 week trip back home and had been super nervous about boarding our dog with someone for so long. We had him stay with Virginie and Max a couple times prior to this trip and he always did great. But 4 weeks is a lot ! They were amazing with him. We got daily pictures and videos of how he was being pampered and loved. I never noticed any signs of stress. Their daughters were obsessed with my dog ( and vice versa lol). Not for a single day while we were away did we get nervous or did they give us a reason to worry. I will definitely be boarding my pup with them in the future as well, because I'm pretty convinced my dog is misisng them more than he missed me. :P I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Our Maisie(Airedale) stayed with Lisa and we are sure she had a great time! When we went to pick her up, we thought she’d be waiting at the front door. But nope, Lisa had to call her from whatever fun she was having in the back yard! Thank you Lisa for making our girl feel at home🐶”
“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!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“We had a great experience with Peter. He and his family took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and sent updates with pictures throughout our pup’s stay. We felt reassured that our pup was doing well and cared for. Would definitely recommend and use for future stays!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Sabrina was great with my babies while we were on vacation. She made sure to send me photos and gave me updates. Which I really appreciated with it being the first time I have ever boarded my cats! You won’t regret picking her to care for your furry family members!”

Jovelle was so great with Ruby! She sent so many amazing pics and updates and made Ruby feel right at home. This was our first time booking with Jovelle and she even was able to transport Ruby to her other sitter which was so amazing and helpful. She’s incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and kind and I will certainly book again with her 😊
Allison has put our nerves and hearts at ease by giving our dog Onyx boy a very calm and inviting place to board. I've never seen him so happy and confident outside of our own home. Allison has made this separation a breeze for everyone, and I can't thank her enough for her natural ability and professionalism as well. We will not only be recommending her to everyone who needs a boarder, but we will for sure be using her again in the future!!
Niraj took excellent care of my senior Labrador Styles recently while I was on a short business trip. The communication with photos was excellent and he took time to play and walk Styles during the day. Niraj was very accommodating and he asked questions to ensure Styles normal routine was not interrupted. Five star treatment! I'll be rebooking with Niraj in the future.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $69.93 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 5,191 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.
