“Peter and his family are the best - my pup can be very anxious and a handful at times but he loves going to Peter’s, he is always happy to go and happy when I pick him up! I know he is loved and very well cared for when he’s at Peter’s and that’s all I can ask for as a pet owner!”
“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!”
“Lisa was an excellent caretaker for our two dogs. She and her family treated them like part of the family - maybe even better! We could enjoy our vacation and received the right number of updates and photos while we were gone - Lisa was always available to answer any questions too. I will 1000% rebook with Lisa the next time we need to leave our pups.”
“This was the first time I had allowed a stranger to take Riley overnight, and I was so happy I had done so. Riley is a Chihuahua mix and does not trust easily, especially with men. So I was pleased to find out she was slowly warming up to her and her husband. She also took the time to capture plenty of video and pictures, which allowed me to put my mind at ease. Additionally, I appreciated her flexibility with my schedule for picking her up and dropping her off. I will definitely repeat and recommend her to anyone who has a dog like mine.”
“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!”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“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.”
“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”
“Tammy was great! She took my 3 dogs on very short notice, only 2 days notice. We did a meet and greet the same day I contacted her and was very friendly and easy going with the dogs. My dogs immediately felt comfortable in her house and around her which is rare for my dogs because they are kind of timid with some people. She sent me daily pix and updates. When I picked them up, they all looked happy.”
“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 😊”
About: I’ve always loved animals and my experience caring for family & friends’ pets (and my own) has taught me just how important it is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, & loved. Whether we’re going on a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels happy and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to do whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. My overall goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, attentive hands while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend! I also have my own small, friendly dog that I walk and care for on a daily basis. I live in a dog friendly apartment in a very walkable & safe part of Walnut Creek. I believe in following your dog’s usual routine, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they have time for both play and relaxation. I’ll also follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is being cared for with love
“My dog had a wonderful weekend with Darren. Darren did a great job of clarifying my dog’s needs and routines when I dropped off. Because Darren is around during the day, I felt confident my dog was well attended to and got lots of attention while I was gone. And daily walks were a hit!”
“Jorge was a very caring sitter. He was very communicative and kept sending us pictures multiple times daily on walks and plays etc. Russ got along very well with Jorge's very cute Peekapoo Max too; they seemed to enjoy each other's company. We will consider Jorge again!”
“Sylvia and her parents are great dog-sitters! They gave our pup love, cuddles and walks and made him feel right at home. I loved getting all the pictures and updates. Our dog had a medical emergency during his stay as well, and they did an amazing job handling it, assessing the situation, communicating with me, getting him to the vet and making sure he was cared for afterwards. They are clearly very kind people who love animals.”
“Caitlin took great care of Ozzy! He made friends with her dog and cat, went to the local dog park, and got spoiled sleeping on her bed. Caitlin’s home was also tidy, clean and nicely decorated. Will definitely book her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Concord is $75
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Concord
Joseph and Marikris were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of our dog Lucy and were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Their flexibility, kindness, and communication made the entire experience stress-free. We felt confident that Lucy was in great hands. Highly recommend them and we already have our next boarding booked.
Another trip, another amazing experience with Stefanie. Not everyone is up for the task of caring for a special needs dog, but Stefanie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and PATIENT. I have tremendous peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks again. Stefanie, for caring for my sweet, old girl!
I appreciate that Sylvia is getting to know my dog better each time she stays. Sylvia pays attention to how my dog communicates what she needs. During this longer stay, we checked in a few times on my dog's needs and wants, and Sylvia made little adjustments to make my dog more comfortable. I love the daily photos and updates, and feel entirely comfortable with my dog in Sylvia's home away from home.
Sabrina was great! We were a last minute booking and she made the whole process of boarding Piper a breeze. From the start she inspired great confidence because of her years of experience with animal care and her obvious love of them. Piper had a great weekend relaxing at her house. We got pictures and texts daily. Highly recommend Sabrina!
Serafina was amazing with our anxious girl!! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and I had no idea how our dog would do, but Serafina put both her and I at ease. She sent updates and photos throughout our trip and our girl seemed right at home with her and her fiancé. She has such a calm, gentle demeanor and a lovely home and yard. Our pup came home clearly very happy and well cared for. I would definitely have Serafina watch our girl again in the future!
Jill and her family gave Cooper great care and their dog Buddy was the perfect best friend for Cooper during his time with them. They took care of him for over a week and we did not have to worry one bit because we knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back here for future vacations.
Rachel was great with Roxy! She sent me tons of pictures and updates which I appreciated. She was very thoughtful with her approach getting to know my dog, since my dog is very shy. She was very flexible with my work schedule as well which was super helpful as someone really busy with work. Her house also seemed like a very calm and spacious environment for dogs. I will be using her again in the future.
Maria was amazing with Bella while I was away in Cabo! I felt completely comfortable knowing Bella was in such good hands. She kept me updated throughout her entire stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. Bella looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time. I truly appreciate how attentive and loving Maria was with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ❤️🐾
Colleen did an amazing job watching Rory, we will definitely be using her again. Rory got to play in the backyard, we got pictures and updates every day, and I could tell from the pics how nice of a time Rory was having. I’ve rarely been so comfortable and not worrying about her. 100% recommend Colleen.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Concord is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $88 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Concord. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Concord 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 Concord 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 Concord.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Concord. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Concord 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
