“Shirley and her family were so kind and took very good care of our senior girl. I appreciated the photos and videos of Fox getting attention and cuddles. It was as if Fox went on her own vacation while we went away. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Mauro and his wife are an amazing pair that are very patient and compromising! Its been a while since I seen my dog this happy and looking forward to boarding him again soon! He made friends got so much exercise and when he was tuckered out had a whole room for himself. On top of that Mauro was consistently sending atleast a video or two along with some great picture of my dog showcasing his stay! Thank you so much!”
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”
“We had to board our beloved Coco for the very first time, and naturally we were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. From the moment we met Merilu, she made us feel comfortable and reassured that Coco would be in good hands. Merilu and her family took exceptional care of Coco and truly treated her like one of their own. They happily accommodated all of our requests, including not using a cage and allowing Coco to sleep on the bed, which meant a lot to us since Coco has never been crated. Throughout Coco’s stay, we received regular updates with photos and videos every day, along with quick responses whenever we had questions. Seeing Coco happy, playful, and comfortable gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Coco up, she looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely happy, which says everything about the love and care she received. It’s clear that Merilu has a true passion for animals and provides a safe, loving home rather than just a boarding service. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Coco received and wouldn’t hesitate to trust Merilu again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with love, patience, and genuine affection, I highly recommend Merilu. Thank you for making Coco’s first boarding experience such a positive and stress-free one for both Coco and our family!”
“Biswas was great with the pups and seems to be confident with all types of dogs. The environment was very relaxed and he took his time introducing all the dogs. He’s got a nice yard where they can lounge around and sends pics and videos. My dogs are high anxiety and I appreciated all the care he took to ensure everyone was relaxed and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Our 5month old yorkie, Bowie, stayed with Barsha and her family for one night while we were out of town. This was his first time away and Barsha communicated and sent photos and videos throughout so that we could see how he was adjusting. Bowie came home exhausted and happy from all the attention he received from the family and other pups staying at the house. Thanks, Barsha!”
“Liam and Nadia have been great! Our dog had a wonderful stay and we received pictures and updates throughout our vacation. Liam and Nadia were also very accommodating when our vacation initially fell through at the last minute. They cancelled our appointment without a fee and graciously booked us again on a later date.”
“Sofia and Jonathan are the nicest family. We were gone for a long time on an international trip to visit family in France. And it was a relief to know that our dog and bunny were well taken care of. They spent 17 days with them and we got plenty of updates and photos. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“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!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“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!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Cristal is absolutely amazing. I don’t think my baby even wanted to leave 😅 benji got to make some friends, taken on walks and lots of play time. Cristal sent me pictures and updates the entire time, and I can 100% say me and Benji both were very comfortable and will be back 😄”
“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”

We hit the jackpot with Jovelle!! She only watches one dog at a time, so we knew Honey would get her full love and attention - and she sure did :) she was showered with cuddles, walks, treats, and so much love for the nearly three weeks she spent there. Jovelle was also so communicative, sending a daily update with tons of photos, which made us feel so at ease having Honey in such loving care while we were halfway across the world. Honestly, Honey looked ready to move in with them instead of come home with us at the end! 😂 We’re new to the area and so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy on our first try. We’ll definitely be booking with Jovelle again next time we head out of town!
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 $69.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,147 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.
