“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
“Our dog had an amazing time at Liam’s place. We feel very at ease on our trip knowing that our baby is being taken good care of. Thank you Liam and Nadia and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for dog daycare/boarding services!!”
“Lauren was AMAZING!! This was my first time using Rover in years, as I typically have friends and family watch my dogs. But, we had a wedding that everyone attended. After months of trying someone that was willing to watch my anxious and reactive dogs, I got so lucky to find Lauren! She immediately eased any concern during our meet and greet, and my dogs who don’t like strangers immediately were comfortable with her. She shared stories about her experience with different needs and personalities, which made me feel much better. When I dropped my dogs off, she assured me she would send updates, and she delivered!! Even if I wasn’t able to reply, she continued to send pictures, videos, and updates about their days. Both dogs came home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure they thought they were on vacation. I would 1000% recommend booking with her. We will be using Lauren for future trips!!”
“Lisa looked after our dog for a 3 week period over Christmas and New Year. We’ve had her look after P on multiple occasions, he is always well cared for and shown so much love. Highly recommend”
“We couldn't be happier with Jovelle! She kept our senior small dog at her home for over 1 week and took excellent care of him. She walked him daily and provided his medication with his food as we requested. She sent daily texts with updates and photos and it was so comforting to know our buddy was well and happy. We will definitely be using her again. Paulette”

“Our two pups had another incredible stay with Frank, Thao and their boys! We were regularly updated while away for a longer trip, and felt comfortable enjoying ourselves knowing how well they were being taken care of. They got tons of exercise and playtime every day, and lots of love. Will definitely be using them regularly on our trips away!”
“Thank you for taking care of my Brownie when we were away. I wholeheartedly recommend Pratik and his lovely wife to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring pet care. Their dedication and genuine love for animals made all the difference during our time away. They sent me adorable photos and updates, which made being away a little easier. I know Brownie would love to come visit in the near future if we need wonderful sitters! Thank you!”
“This family took such great care of our babies. We had daily communication and pictures and videos. Lilo and Stitch looked so happy and energetic! They loved playing with Loki. Dipankar and Nagma took extra care in grooming Lilo and training her on walks. Also taking care of Stitch’s ear infection by applying his drops. We appreciate them so much. We will for sure hire them again in the future, as they are like another family for our babies. Thank you Dipankar and Nagma for all your care, patience and love for Lilo and Stitch.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Ying! She took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated every day with photos and details about his walks and activities. Our dog is a picky eater, and she even went above and beyond to prepare homemade meals for him! What impressed us most was how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. He showed no signs of separation anxiety, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It’s clear that he absolutely adores her! Ying is incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with Clara and her cute shih tzu Diego! This was our first time boarding our dog, so we did not know what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations! Clara watched our 11 year old senior little terrier-mix for 7 days and took such great care of her. She kept us updated throughout the week with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She were also incredibly generous to share Diego's food with our dog on the last day. We really appreciated how caring and attentive Clara was. We would definitely recommend Clara and would love to have her watch our dog again! 🐶❤️”
“Kathy was awesome with Sunny! It was our first away trip from Sunny and we were a bit nervous about leaving her. Kathy sent updates and pictures twice per day which included Sunny playing with her Labrador, Zeke (Sunny’s a Lab too) along with updates of her eating and sleeping well. All that really put my mind at ease while we were gone. We would definitely use Kathy’s service again and would highly recommend her. Great experience all the way around.”
“James & Mandy are awesome! Their place really is the swankiest pad ever, but more importantly, James & Mandy clearly LOVE dogs. They took great care of our furbaby and were very easy to coordinate with. Highly recommended!”
“Peter is a professional, organized, and thoughtful dog sitter. He kept us updated with regular texts and photos, and he and his family took the best care of our Goldendoodle. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you, Peter, we look forward to the next time!”

Jodie and Jovelle are absolutely amazing! We are extremely picky about who we trust to care for our fur baby, especially because she can be very anxious and takes time to feel comfortable around new people. But Jodie and Jovelle truly went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, loved, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such wonderful hands while we were away. They were incredibly kind, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they truly love animals and treat them like their own. Finding people you can fully trust with your fur baby isn’t easy, and we are so grateful to have found them! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable, and exceptional pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of our girl!
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.
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 of Dog Boarding in Clayton is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $90 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 of October 2026, there are 5,136 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 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.
93% of sitters in Clayton 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 Clayton home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
