“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
“The family was so sweet to Cody and he obviously had a wonderful time with them! We loved getting the updates and pictures while we were away. We would trust Houda, Fawzi and their children with our dog anytime!”
“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!”
“First time with Frank and Thao. They are very dog welcoming and make their home friendly and very inviting for the pls. They have an extra big back yard for lots of fun and dog running which I especially loved. Frank also walked my dog and his kids welcomed my dog into their bedroom at bedtime. Truely the entire family wants to participate.💕 I will definitely use them again!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“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 😄”
“Clara was amazing with our elderly Katy. Especially when Katy needed to take insulin shots day and night. Her home has a huge backyard with established trees and was very well maintained with lots of space for Katy either in the sun or shade under a tree. I would definitely book Katy with Clara again as she took great care of her and treated her as one of her own.”
“Got daily updates from Dakota about my dog plus pictures. I really liked that he was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand since he does own a dog himself and he took his dog out to meet mine too to see if they would get along. My dog Angel came back happy and clean (she didn’t freak out and have an accident in her crate). Dakota was also really easy about drop off and pickup times which I really appreciate because I have 4 kids and my life is always ad hoc and on the go, plus I was late to pick up Angel and he was still very cool about it. Dakota, Jaclyn and their young child are a lovely family. I have no qualms with booking them again!.”
About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for my Shih Tzu, who has been part of my family since he was a puppy. I understand the patience, love, attention, and daily care pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and caring for senior dogs with extra patience and attention. I have a flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. I offer boarding and daycare, and I’m happy to provide potty breaks and walks as often as the owner requests. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming home for pets while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I give every pet plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.
“We love Heather and Dave so much. They are both great with the dogs, putting dogs and their humans at ease. Our Dalmatian, Jazz, loves staying with them when we go on vacation, and we love the notes, pics, and videos we receive regularly. We can't recommend them enough!”

“My wife and I love that we finally found someone to watch over our little pup while we are away. Shirley was fantastic in both her communications with us as well as taking care of Poppy. Pictures and videos were provided every day and it was obvious Poppy was comfortable and super happy while staying with Shirley and her dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Chad provided a great sit for my 2 dogs. They were clearly well cared for. Between the two of them, they need a lot of meds and Chad willingly dispensed them. They'll be back! Thanks, Chad.”
“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!!”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“Patrick is a great sitter. He and I met up in advance to make sure that Mango Roll and his dog, Sophie, would be compatible. I appreciate his thoroughness. His space is great. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor (secure fenced yard) space for the dogs. He sent photos throughout the day. I would trust him with my dog again.”
“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”

Jessica always goes above and beyond to make everything work out, and Kona truly loves spending time with her family. Between swimming in their pool, getting lots of snuggles, and being treated like part of the family, Kona is always in great hands! We also love getting pictures or a quick update each day while we’re away. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Kona is happy, loved, and so well cared for. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Jing was very capable and conscientious in taking care of Patches and Oreo. Our elderly dog Patches needed special attention due to his age and also had to be given antibiotic medication due to an unexpected injury that occurred right before our trip and Jing accommodated that without any fuss.
Jennifer and her family took great care of Yomi over the week and when we missed our flight home, she was able to take care of Yomi an extra day which we were very grateful for. Yomi looks like in great condition and we got daily updates and pics from her. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back again!
For our first experience with Rover, we couldn’t be more impressed by Marisa. From the moment she met our dog Bailey, we could tell our girl would be in great hands. It was immediately evident that Marisa loves dogs and that Bailey would be well taken care of while we were away. Marisa was proactive in sending us updates and in every photo, Bailey was active or cuddling, and looked so happy playing with Marisa’s dog Henri. We are so appreciative of Marisa and would absolutely recommend her to others feeling anxious about needing to leave their beloved pup!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Diablo is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $94 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 7,019 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Diablo. 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 Diablo 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 Diablo 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 Diablo.
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 Diablo 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.
