“Amy and Justin are great! This is the second time we have used them and they always taken great care of our boy. We got daily photos and updates. Toby got to play with different dogs and was tired when he got home which tells us he had a good time.”
“Derek and Leslie took care of Ozzy on the 4th of July. Ozzy is scared of fireworks and is also a big dog but they even let him pay on their bed for comfort and I really appreciate them for it!”
“Shannon is amazing. It was our first time using Rover and she was the best person to experience this service. We love it. From getting updates (photos videos and messages) to answering all questions we had the whole time. Excellent service. Highly recommend Shannon, and we look forward having our Luna stay with Shannon and her family in the future. Thanks for everything.”
About: We had our own dog that we cared for from puppyhood, so we’re very comfortable with everyday dog care. We have a soft spot for smaller pups and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and love. We treat every pup staying with us like one of our own. We’re able to plan our schedules around the pups we’re caring for and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company. With two of us caring for them, they’ll have plenty of company and love throughout their stay. We live in a new, dog-friendly apartment with dedicated areas for pups to walk and play. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while staying with us. We always follow their usual routine and any instructions to help them feel right at home.
“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!”
“Maisy was amazing!!! She sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. When we picked Tilly up she was happy and well fed. We truly appreciate Maisy as it is hard to leave our fur baby. She was extremely well cared for and loved. Thank you!!! We will be back! 💕”
“This is my second time using Rover and I couldn't be happier! I'm pretty sure Tucker didn't even want to come home after his stay at Walee's. He had an absolute blast running around her huge yard with her dog Ike. As I type this, Tucker is still sleeping on the couch after a solid 3 hour nap. I would absolutely recommend Walee to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Aguarin was so great with Rocky! I loved getting pictures and updates while he was away. They treated Rocky like their own which made me feel at ease while he was with them. Would definitely recommend and am so happy we chose them during our time away from our fur baby.”
“Patti took excellent care of our Maggie. Patti was willing to take on a four month old puppy and the visit was very successful. Patti was patient and very kind with Maggie. She of course made sure that Maggie had plenty to eat and lots of healthy treats. Patti and Joe opened their house to make Maggie feel at home.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and consider them part of the family, I am basically home 24/7 to care for your fur babies. I will watch small, non aggressive, potty trained dogs up to 35 lbs. I have 2 non aggressive 30lb French Bulldogs ages 3 and 8. I am a retired Fire battalion Chief and was also a paramedic for 25 years. I can accept longer vacation dates on a case by case basis as I also travel and need to book around my schedule. I spend time loving the pups in my care & playing fetch in my large yard. I also have a dog door for dogs to access yard. Your pups become my pups when left in my care. I don’t crate dogs unless requested. I request up to date vaccination records & that dogs are clean & flea free. Annual bordetella vaccine to prevent kennel cough is mandatory. All pups eat separately to keep dogs from eating another dog’s food & to prevent food aggression. Dogs are never left alone outside in my large fenced yard which is also locked for safety. I don’t accept aggressive dogs or those with food aggression. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. Meet and greets are always welcome and appreciated. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m basically home 24/7 and I let the fur babies move about the house freely. They can cuddle with me on the couch if I’m watching tv or play with me outside. I have a large fenced yard with a small turf area. Dogs are not left unattended. As I mentioned before, I will play with your pups and treat them like my own. I also have two sets of stairs for your fur baby to access the couch or bed (different size steps) or I lift them as well. I have 3 different types of dog strollers for morning/evening walks if your fur baby isn’t a walker (like one of my frenchies).
“Belle came home happy and exhausted from her stay with Jena and family. I know she received a lot of love and attention and daily exercise, and that’s exactly what Belle needs, when she’s away from home. Jena was great about sending updates and photos and she was very patient and understanding when Belle had tummy and sleep issues.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“Amber did a great job! She stepped up and accepted Osa at the last moment. Osa was happy, and Amber ensured it was not too hot to take her out until it cooled off during a 100-degree day.”
“Awesome , family-oriented experience. Our pups received love and attention while we were gone. Loved the photos and videos since we were missing them. Look forward to Kimberlee sitting for Mango and Bentley again ❤️”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
The median cost per night for dog boarding in El Dorado Hills is $56

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
