“Patty is great to work with - I had a couple of unexpected changes to the booking and she was terrific about accomodating them. She also has good "cat sense" and reads cat behavior well. My kitty seemed to have a great time on her little vacation and the pictures Patty sent of her were charming. I will definitely book another visit when needed.”

“This was our first time booking with Carola and we had a great experience. Our little Dukey boy loved his stay and hanging out with her pups, Killer and Prince. Duke almost didn't want to come home! 😂 I didn't have phone connection during my time away and she still sent daily updates with pictures, even though I didn't respond. Highly recommend Carola for your pet's boarding needs!”

“Guadalupe was a lifesaver!!! I was in NYC for the holidays and completely stuck in terms of finding a sitter for Rikki, as my boyfriend works full time in Long Beach and all my friends were also gone for the season. I found Guadalupe and I was impressed by her creditals, and even more impressed by her prices. I was able to book the whole thing online from across the country! My boyfriend dropped Rikki off, and every day I got several updates as to how ridiculously happy my dog was while I was away. We're talking long walks, off-leash frolicking in (gated) parks, she even bought him a toy for Christmas! Guadalupe goes above and beyond for her clients, and outside of family- I wouldn't trust Rikki with anyone else!”

“We've used Becky before and just like the other times, Gambit loved his stay! Becky and her dog Shadow make Gambit so calm when he stresses out--and Shadow tires him out to a good night sleep, it's seriously so reassuring! Gambits a Doberman with high energy, and usually never tires out--but I know with Becky, he comes home completely pooped. Becky provides daily updates on how your pooch is doing during his or her stay. Definitely love using Becky as a sitter! ”

About: I’ve had furbabies of every size and breeds since I was a child. Horses, dogs, cats and other large mammals. Never met an animal that doesn’t love me. The feelings are mutual. I am retired, and love fur babies to keep me company and help me stay active. I do require animals be vaccinated and spade/neutered. Not taking cats due to allergies. I have a fenced yard, room to roam, a small furbaby of my own. Furbabies can be crated or sleep where they choose. Always indoor at night.

About: I've had dogs my whole life — all 40+ years of it. Reading a dog's mood, sticking to their routine, and knowing when something's off is second nature to me, not something I just picked up. And at my age, I'm past the flaky stage: I'm reliable, I show up, I communicate, and I treat your dog the way I treat my own. I'm Kristi, 43, from Sanger, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Right now my days revolve around my two dogs — Mina, a 2-year-old pit bull and shepherd mix who's all energy and very food-motivated, and Skai, a husky, shepherd, and lab mix who is 3-years-old and the mellow one. Between the two of them, I'm used to every kind of dog day: high-energy play, slow couch time, and everything in between. I work remotely for work so it makes it easy to be home with them all the time. Your dog joins our normal daily routine — feeding on their own schedule, walks and playtime, plenty of downtime, and a calm place to sleep at night. I have a yard with room for more dogs, and I can keep your dog separate from mine if that's a better fit — whether they need their own space or just do better one-on-one. I stick to whatever routine you give me, send you updates and photos, and if anything seems off, I call you right away and get them to a vet if needed.

“Lolita was so great. Not only was she very good with my frenchies, but she sent pictures & videos daily. She was always available when I needed to ask any questions. I would definitely book her again. I was very impressed and touched also by how talented she is. She took the time to draw a picture of my babies. I love it so much. My babies took to her right away. Thank you Lolita 💙🩷💙Spencer Elly & Coop”

About: I don’t have much years of experience of dog sitting but I can insure you that the best care will be given to your pet! I had a few family dogs growing up but it does not compare to having your own. I got my first ever pet last year and he is truly my baby. Rex is his name, he just turned one year old on September 12th. He’s still a puppy in my eyes lol. I have taken him everywhere I can with me, the mall, the beach, hiking, restaurants, family gatherings, etc! A pet is a life time commitment so I try my best to bring him everywhere with me. I have taught him some on command training since he was a puppy such as sit, paw, down, spin, drop it and stay. He’s not very good at “come here” since he has selective hearing lol. I have recently been touched by all the animal shelters that suffer being locked up for a long time. That is why I decided to save a dog from my local shelter. Hugo is my second baby! He is the sweetest dog there very is. He does not know what a toy is even though I try to introduce them to him, all he wants is love and attention. I barely adopted him on September 29th so we’re still in the learning process of on command training but he is very good with dogs and humans. Both Rex and Hugo show the biggest love. Seeing them every morning and every evening after work really spark up my day. There are a few days throughout the week where I go home for lunch to play with my dogs. I am very grateful to have a job close to my home that allows me to check up on my pets. When I don’t go home during my lunch time I check up on my pets through a camera I set up for them. This gives me some piece of mind. My love for dogs is so big that I hope to open a rescue soon. I work throughout the weekdays but I can drop in before 8 am or after 6 pm for a quick visit! My Saturdays and Sundays are always free so I am available for boarding and day care for those days! I have two dogs, one Golden Retriever and one Siberian Husky. They are big breeds but they are very friendly! They just love to play and play! Your pet will be indoor most of the time with the exception of potty time and play time. I do have a fenced front and backyard. The front yard and backyard are separated but small breeds will not be in the front yard since the fence barrels are very separate from eachother and I fear a small breed can easily fit through there. Play time would have to be in the back yard with my pets. I also have a 3 foot tall dog fence I can use, if you do not feel comfortable having your pet around mine. There are many water stations around the house, a small pool for them, enough toys, and even a dog house with a padded dog bed.

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elderwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elderwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

94% of sitters in Elderwood 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 Elderwood 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 Elderwood.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elderwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Elderwood 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
