“Peter was fantastic watching Gracie over the weekend while we were out of town. His communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Gracie clearly enjoyed her stay—she came running out happy to see me, but then turned back to check on Peter, which says a lot about the bond they built in such a short time. That’s always such a reassuring thing to see when you have to leave your pet behind. She also loved playing with the other dogs, which made the experience even better for her. Overall, this was a great experience for both Gracie and myself. I would absolutely trust Peter to watch her again.”
“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!!”
“Barsha provided a comforting home for my anxious girl! She sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates during the visit on how things were going! We will definitely hire Barsha to help with our girl again :)”
“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!”
“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!!”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”
“Abigail is outstanding. Lily had the best time and was very loved during her stay. 100% recommend and we look forward to booking a future stay 💗 thank you so much for all the love and care, Abigail!”
“Nakul responded quickly and clearly through every step of the process. I got videos of them my pup in good spirits and to my knowledge everything went great while she was there.”
“Liam & Nadia are wonderful. They’re very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog, Alfie enjoyed staying there and being with the other dogs. I also received pictures of Alfie during his week stay which was very nice. They have a very large enclosed yard area for the dogs to run around and play. I definitely recommend them. Thank you Liam & Nadia for taking such great care of Alfie!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lisa has such a warm and welcoming house and 2 great pups of her own! We picked up dog up yesterday afternoon and he is still sleepy a full 24 hours later from playing all weekend long. We will definitely be using Lisa again!!”
“Colleen is absolutely wonderful. My dogs were so excited to see her when she arrived to pick them up. She and her husband, Paul, take our dogs on lots of adventures, shower them with love and attention, and they send daily updates and pictures. She is good about administering medication, very flexible and even introduced us to the fun of giving the dogs a snuffle mat dog toy. We know our dogs will be well taken care of while we are away when they stay with Colleen and that is everything! We highly recommend Colleen.”
“Maxime and Virginie pupsat our little 10 month old border collie and she had the best time! We felt like she was safe with them and had lots of play time with all the family. Frequent updates and pictures/videos made our day many times while we were away missing our little energy ball. ❤️ Thank you again for taking such great care of her!!”

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 $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.
