“Heather was fantastic with my furry baby. I got daily updates and pictures and she even had an extra security vest for him during July 4th fireworks. Highly recommend.”
“Pixie came home happy and healthy! Lauren and Ben took wonderful care of her for six days. They sent us regular photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When our flight got canceled, they were incredibly accommodating. They helped us extend the booking and happily let Pixie stay with them for an extra day, which we truly appreciated. We're so grateful for their kindness and excellent care. We'll definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Lexi and her family treated our dog as their own, and they truly understand what it means to care for a dog. There was never a worry that Moose wouldn’t get adequate stimulation with the many walks and backyard time spent with this family. The most noticeable difference between Lexi and other sitters was Moose’s energy when we picked him up. He wasn’t full of anxious energy and he seemed like our normal pup. This gives us the peace of mind and then some for any future stays he has with this household.”
“Arianna took care of our senior pug. She was very kind to him and considerate of his needs (for example not walking in the heat). She provided a lot of updates and photos as well. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Loving and Caring for Animals! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up caring for pets of my own and have also gained experience pet sitting for family and friends. From playtime and walks to feeding, cuddles, and keeping pets company, I genuinely love making sure every animal feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, responsible, and excited to get to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and receiving lots of affection, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by treating your pets like my own and giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love, attention, and tail-wagging fun they deserve! ❤️🐶🐱 I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! I’m available all days of the week and I’m open to discussing different times on those days. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to learn about your pet’s personality, any special needs, feeding schedule, and favorite activities so I can provide the best possible care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing! Whether we’re going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or enjoying some quiet cuddle time, my goal is to create a positive, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels right at home. Your trust means a lot to me, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱
About: I've owned my own dog walking and boarding business for 8 years, have worked with dogs full time for 10 and have chosen to work and volunteer alongside animals from the moment I had the opportunity as a young teen. It is important to me that the dogs in my care are fulfilled. All dogs are taken on daily walks and provided with off leash social time in my yard. I am behavior savvy, cultivate structure through routine and boundary setting, and love to let dogs' personalities shine. My partner and I have a 6 month old mini Aussie, Otis, and he loves to host as well. I require that dogs are friendly with other dogs, crate trained and have leash manners. My "full-time" work is to provide for the dogs in my care- whether they are boarding, daycare dogs, or walking clients. This includes daily (and sometimes twice daily) group walks and off leash social time with my personal dog and whomever else is on the schedule. Sometimes we hike, explore a separate large fenced property or visit the beach-it all depends on how many dogs I have and what their temperaments are. I take relationship building with my clients (both human and dog) very seriously. It takes time to build comfort and trust. I prefer to have a short client list, an intimate group of dogs, and a relaxed and familiar flow throughout our day to day. I love to have extended stay boarding dogs, and have several clients who travel multiple months out of the year. I do not take one-time weekend boarding dogs. It is a lot of work up front to get new clients familiarized with our routine, comfortable & relaxed in the environment, and introduced to all of the regulars. A final note: I love shy/awkward dogs, senior dogs, and working with (most) young puppies. I struggle with highly anxious & hyperactive dogs and they are not the best fit for my environment and personality.
“Aniqua was great with our dog and puppy! She sent me updates and pictures and took great care of them. She followed our care instructions and even went the extra mile to meet me for drop off and pick up. Will definitely be using her again when in the area!”
About: Updated Jun ‘26 Walk availability: 9am - 6pm daily Meet & Greets: I provide a complementary 10min meet & greet. If you want a longer appointment please schedule a 30-minute “drop-in” visit and specify you want an “extended meet & greet”. I have a flexible schedule; I am a stay-at-home mom and I bring my toddlers with me in a stroller for walks. Please note that though there is fencing around the property, it is not dog-proof, so dogs who will wander or run away when outside with me off-leash will remain leashed outdoors. You can relax knowing a competent, experienced and strong person is caring for your loved one(s). I used to be a dog training assistant and have worked with hundreds of dogs! ***If it’s your first Rover booking, let me know and I’ll give you a $20 discount code.*** Last-minute bookings are welcome : ) Please let me know if I need to bring my own harness/leash.
“Second time I booked with Lindsey and couldn't of had a better experience for not only my pup, but also myself. Lindsey was attentive, patient, and communicative throughout the 4 day boarding I booked with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my dog will be well cared for and pampered when I am away! Thank you!”
“Patrick and his wife were exactly what we needed and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away on vacation. Patrick was very familiar with how to care for our dog, who struggles with dog aggression and loves to chase every squirrel in sight! Our dog also does not do well sitting around all day, so Patrick and his wife made sure she stayed active and happy by taking her on daily walks, trips to the beach, and treating Dash like one of their own. Patrick and his wife come highly recommended by us, and this 5-star review is very well deserved. Thank you, Patrick! We will absolutely be back again 🙂”

“Ethan is very nice and responded to text right away! He took pictures and took Copper on walks everyday! Our family was very happy with Ethan and so was Copper! He made our first experience leaving our pup for the first time a pleasant one! Thank you Ethan!”
About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer morning and evening and weekend drop-in visits.
“Our dog Branston, 14 years old seemed very calm and happy when we collected him from Nancy's after a couple of days stay with her. Nancy was easy to work with and genuinely seems to enjoy looking after animals. We would definitely work with her again.”
“David was wonderful with our puppy! The 38-acre property was the perfect setup for our high-energy dog to run, explore, and get plenty of exercise. David was attentive, responsive, and clearly took great care of her. We especially appreciated the photos and videos he sent throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and having a great time. We would absolutely recommend David and will happily have our puppy stay with him again!”
“Adriana took great care of Poppy and updates us regularly with photos and videos. Her puppy is very sweet and around the same age, which made it super easy for Poppy to settle in.”

Tyler was our hero. A last minute booking after discovering that my usual boarding option could not really watch after my two dogs with one suffering from epilepsy requiring around the clock monitoring due to having cluster seizures. Tyler picked up my dogs from the boarding place and took them under his care. He followed complicated medication dosing and communicated well. It was a great experience greatly reducing the anxiety I was experiencing having to leave town for work and leaving behind an epileptic dog to a stranger. I highly recommend Tyler!
Jen and family were amazing. Right away I felt comfortable leaving my pups with them. Drop off and pick up was easy and seamless. I was updated with a ton of pictures. My dogs definitely had a great time, getting plenty of love and exercise. Once home they were exhausted! Thank you!!!
I can’t say enough great things about Michael! He and his wife were great from the start. While I was away, they went far above and beyond what I expected -providing regular updates, photos, and thoughtful details that gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with them again!
This is our second time booking Laura and Gabriel. We know our dog is well cared for and included in the family. Our dog has a neurological condition that makes her very unstable on her feet, mixed with being a top heavy pitbull, she really has a hard time with non carpeted flooring. Laura and Gabriel go above and beyond and put out extra rugs so Lucy can get around the living areas while she's there. We will continue using them when we leave town. Lucy always comes back happy, well cared for, and you can tell she's part of the family when she's there.
Abygail and Kai took great, thoughtful care of our old gal, Kona. We were gone for a little over a week and it was such peace of mind knowing they were with her. Abygail sent regular updates, and pictures and videos -- it was clear Kona felt comfortable with them from the start. They also housesat for us -- more peace of mind! -- and left our house in pristine condition. I would highly recommend these two for petsitting and housesitting needs, and we plan on using them again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cotati is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $82 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 October 2026, there are 682 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cotati. 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.
95% of sitters in Cotati 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 Cotati 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 Cotati.
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 Cotati 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.
