“Our dog can be very sad when we leave him. But Michelle found a way to connect, and we felt so much more at ease while we were away, knowing he was in great hands. She provided many photos and videos to reassure us that he was doing great.”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Sharon and Albert are amazing! They are so warm and welcoming and took such incredible care of our Kona❤️ pics and videos and updates daily. We thought he'd never want to go home with us haha. Definitely just like family to our boy and we will be back!”
“Sara and her husband were awesome, they took care of my 2 husky’s. They came home very happy, thank you it made my trip easier to know my dogs were happy. I didn’t think I needed updates but they sent me updates and it made all the difference. Linda”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“Irina did a great job of caring for my little dog Fred. Fred is a rescue and tends to be anxious in new situations. Irina and her environment are very welcoming and this was not wasted on Fred. He stayed close to Irina during his visit, following her everywhere. When she sat on the couch, she picked him up to be next to her. She had more than 1 dog boarding and I think this was also beneficial for Fred. I would gladly choose Irina again.”
“They’re just the sweetest couple and so great with Bentley and they sent me updates and just cared for him and loved on him so much and I am so grateful that they were able to do last minute overnight care. I couldn’t recommend them enough! They were so communicative and they were amazing from start to finish and so accommodating, and I honestly couldn’t think of more great things to say”
“I’m extremely happy with my dog sitting experience for my dog, Princess. Sophia took excellent care of her and sent me daily pictures of her. This was my first time leaving my baby in a stranger’s care. Sophia was very responsive from the first contact online. She reassured me that Princess would be cared for and loved. She was not wrong. We visited for about 15 minutes when I dropped her off and she put me at ease. I would definitely use Sophia again and highly recommend her.”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“Minaa and Jason took wonderful care of Buster. They were super friendly and quick to respond to messages. They provided regular updates with photos. We will definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to take care of your dog.”
“Derek and Leslie are amazing dog hosts. Our dogs have so much fun every time they visit. I know this because I get all the pictures of them lounging around the house, playing by the pool, and jumping all over Leslie. We appreciate your kindness and flexibility. Thanks for hosting our babies.”
About: I've had animals my whole life. When family is out of town, they know who to contact! I was a professional dog walker through college. I am available any time on weekdays and weekends with enough planning. I am not currently able to do overnight stays during the week at your home, but if your animal is okay with another dog and kids, we are happy to have them stay with us! I can come to your pet to feed, play, walk, clean up after and care for them. Just let me know what is needed and I will make it work.
“Leslie was great with our little dog Theo. She kept me updated everyday she was with him & i appreciated how safe and quiet her space is. Theo seemed to really enjoy being there ❤️ we will definitely be using her again if she is available for the future!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kimberlee. Her and her family immediately put my mind at ease as I could see their love for my dog. I highly appreciated the pictures showing how happy my boy was and I will definitely be a returning client. Thank you Kimberlee!”
“Sandra walked and played with Emma each day. She cuddled her and took great pictures of Emma having fun each day. Emma felt right at home with Sandra . Sandra was professional and on time and prepared . Great dog sitter and thank you !”
“Great experience for us and Lucy!!!! Our dog is elderly (15) and Ruchi and her family were so welcoming and caring. Agree with all the previous reviews home is so clean and they were attentive to our dog and their dogs-who Lucy got along with just fine! We did the meet and greet and then an overnight before we leave her for extended period. It was so great to receive the text updates and pictures- Definitely put a sense of ease and peace for us as we have not left her before other than with family. Thank you!!😊”
“5 Stars all around! Deborah was AMAZING. She was great with my Doodle (Louie). Kept him engaged, playing…. Excellent communication. She sent pics each day showing Louie in action! What he was doing. I can’t say enough of the peace of mind I had while Louie was in Deborah’s care. Truly appreciate her!”
“Casey stayed with Abraham and his family for 1 week. He did great and Abraham sent photos each day. Casey is very comfortable at Abraham's and I would not hesitate to board him again for a longer period of time.”
“Qing was a fantastic pet sitter. Super communicative and I felt at ease the whole weekend. Lilah loved her stay and was active, loved and very appreciative of all the attention she got. Will book again!”
“Meeka first met Grant and his dogs at a meet and greet and she loved it there. She was very excited when we returned for the actual stay. While we were gone about a week, Grant faithfully sent us pictures and updates about how she was doing. We were very comforted to know she was having a blast running around the property with her new friends and well taken care of by Grant. We would highly recommend Grant and we will definitely take her there again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Dorado
She immediately made us feel that our dog was in a safe and loving environment. She greets the humans with a smile and a greets the dogs with a hug. She regularly sends pictures/videos of our dog during the stay so we can see how well he is doing. Our dog is treated as part of her family and is happy to stay with her. We will continue to use Michelle and recommend others use her too!!
Sara is absolutely amazing! If you are like me and have separation anxiety from you fur baby or visa versa look no further than Sara. She treated our black lab like her own and alleviated any fears I had about leaving my dog. Could not have asked for anything better and can say the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you Sara and Jake

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in El Dorado is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $59 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 1,227 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Dorado. 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 El Dorado 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 El Dorado 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 El Dorado.
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 El Dorado 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.
