“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David”
“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”
“Zac was awesome! I like that he took a personal interest in Spot's well being during his stay at Zac's home.....I highly recommend Zac for any Rover.com customer!!”
“Shannon took such wonderful care of Pepper during her stay. From the moment I felt at ease knowing she was in a safe, loving and attentive environment. This was Pepper’s first long time stay with Shannon and she created a comfortable, and caring environment for Pepper. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, photos and videos. This made me at ease too seeing Pepper relaxed, content and getting plenty of attention. When I picked up Pepper, she was her happy self which tells me she received good quality care. I am so grateful for Shannon’s kindness and her love for animals. Pepper will definitely be staying with her again. Thank you Shannon for taking good care of Pepper and treating her like your own.”
“Our dog Zoey didn't make the greatest first impression when we dropped her off, so we were nervous about her two night stay. However, within hours Irina sent a positive update about Zoey and how she got her out of her nervous shell! She sent updates and photos about how good Zoey was behaving, we were able to have a relaxed family getaway!”
“We are so very happy with the care that Diane has given our dog Lola We came on to a very very happy dog lots of pictures of what was going on we are sure going to be using Diane in the future would like to thank her for her personal care of our dog Lola”
“Another stay at Walee for our Mosel. This time when we brought Mosel home she was sad and missed Walee and her family. After a few days and she was back to normal. Now we know we have found Mosels second family, and have no worries when we have to leave her behind. Thank you Walee we will be back.”
“Ruchi and Nitin were wonderful! They were available last minute to take my pup for the weekend and he got along great with their sweet Pepper and Peanut. Ruchi understands how to handle pups who are a little unsure, and was able to make my Dexter feel at home instantly. He came back tired and in great spirits! Thank you, Ruchi and Nitin!”
“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”
“Rachel & Jason were friendly, responsive, great communicators, and definitely dog lovers. I received daily pictures of my dog when I was away and didn't have any concerns or issues. I will definitely use them again as our dogsitter.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Grant! He is an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our Great Dane! He spends a lot of time with the dogs, exercising them and taking really good care of them. Our favorite part about Riley going to " Camp Grant" is he sends us pictures or videos daily. Riley can't wait to go back!”
“After having many many people watch my dog I have finally found someone in Derek and Leslie that I have 100% trust in! They treat Molly like family therefore they are family to me! Very kind, respectful, and nurturing to my girl - I take comfort in knowing where she is going to be for the day or the week! I recommend giving them a try if you are in the Sacramento area. Joe Brown”
“Michelle's an amazing caregiver for Max. She was extremely caring towards my german shepherd senior doggo. She was also flexible with my dropoff and pickup times and dates. She will be our go to caregiver for Max from here on out. Highly recommend her.”
“Tammy was an absolute blessing for our dogs while we were away. From the start, she was incredibly flexible and understanding, which immediately put us at ease. It was clear how loving, attentive, and thoughtful she was with our dogs, and how seriously she took their individual needs and routines. Being miles away is never easy when you love your dogs as much as we do, but Tammy made the entire experience feel comfortable and reassuring. I could truly tell that our dogs were not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. That peace of mind is priceless. If you are looking for a sitter who is kind, dependable, and deeply attentive, Tammy is someone you can trust wholeheartedly. Knowing there are wonderful sitters like her out there makes future travel feel so much easier, and she will absolutely be our first choice again. We love Tammy!”
“Pranavi was wonderfully accommodating! We had several unexpected issues (on our end) that she was able to gracefully deal with, and we are very grateful to her for doing so. Our dog appeared to have had a wonderful time staying with her. This was our first time with Pranavi and we will gladly book again. Cheers!”
“Sohui did a great job with our little fur baby! It was so nice to receive pictures every morning and see her wondering around with the other dogs in a pack. Thank you Sohui for taking great care of our dog!”
“My dog Shimmer had a great time being able to play with dogs her size. She was happy when I picked her up which was a huge relief. Leslie was very inviting open to any questions. We will definitely book again!”
“First time with this family and can I say ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!!! I got soooooo many photos and videos and she looked so happy and safe and relaxed. Communication was instant, and it was so comforting to know Emma was cared for and loved. I’m so happy to have found them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Dorado Hills
It was our first time dropping our dog off at someone else’s house and we were nervous about how he would do. Kate seems knowledgeable about how to help new dogs transition into a new environment with other dogs and turned out my pup had a great time. He has separation anxiety and when I picked him up he had happy energy rather than anxious. We will definitely rebook in the future
Super clean house, amazing yard and neighborhood, and best of all, a paragon of experience! I trust Maisy with all dogs. My dog is a little fussy sometimes, and she was this sea of calm and managed mine and her group of dogs so well. Please choose Maisy!!! My dog is very reserved but he did a bunch of zoomies after daycare, including running back to her house, he just had a splendid day and really felt safe and comfortable all day. Maisy is amazing. Thank you!!!
Evy and Wayne were kind and loving, taking excellent care of our 1 yo Shih Tzu Obie. They followed his requested feeding and walking schedule and sent lots of pictures and updates. Obie was safe, loved and well cared for. We look forward to having him stay with them again!!
Anadee was absolutely top notch with our senior chocolate lab, Guinness. He’s an old man and definitely a lot of work at this stage, but Anadee handled him with patience, care, and genuine kindness. Our kids loved having Guinness around during the stay and really enjoyed Anadee as well, which says a lot. She was also fantastic with our poodle, Lena — Lena was great with “the old man,” and Anadee made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy together. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in El Dorado Hills on Rover is $53.76 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,606 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Dorado Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of El Dorado Hills sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which El Dorado Hills landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their El Dorado Hills 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 El Dorado Hills.
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 Hills 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.
