“Irina was great with my Puppy Dodger. She communicated very well with me. Gave me updates and pictures. I could tell Dodger felt loved in her care. I’m sure he can’t wait to come back.”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days for a work trip, but I appreciate that Tammy was open to doing a pre-meeting to meet my dog and put me at ease. I also appreciate that Tammy kept me updated with pictures everyday while I was traveling. Would book again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience!!! I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care Leaving Tonka for the first time was honestly nerve racking, but Naiomie made the entire experience stress free from day one. She sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout every single day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t just watching him, she genuinely cared about him. She took the time to learn his personality, celebrate his milestones, and even pointed out little behaviors that helped me become a better dog owner. She introduced him to her dogs slowly and safely, and before long they were playing together like old friends. Seeing my puppy build confidence, socialize appropriately, and genuinely enjoy himself meant the world to me. She even noticed that Tonka learned to ring the bell when he needed to go outside and made sure to reinforce that behavior. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She kept his bedding clean, cleaned his eyes daily, monitored his potty habits, let me know about behaviors that needed training, and adapted her routine to fit what worked best for him. She didn’t just tell me everything was perfect, she gave me honest updates and thoughtful observations, which I really appreciated. By the end of his stay, it honestly seemed like Tonka had become part of the family. She told me she was sad to see him leave, and I could tell the feeling was mutual. As an owner, that’s incredibly reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like they’re her own, communicate consistently, and provide exceptional care, I recommend Naiomie without hesitation. Tonka will absolutely be staying with her again. Thank you, Naiomie, for taking such incredible care of my boy. You gave me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!!! Highly recommended!!!”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“Lori made my first experience with rover.com a positive one. I was in need of a last minute sitter and Lori responded to my request immediately. She was gracious enough to let me and Picasso stop by to get aquainted on a moment's notice as well. Very flexible with drop off and pick up time. She even sent Picasso home with a toy and rawhide bone. It was my first time leaving Picasso with someone other than family and Lori really put my worries at ease by sending text and picture updates. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend getaway knowing Picasso was in good hands. I would definitely not hesitate to use her services again. ”
“Rekha and her husband were amazing with my Tyson. Tyson had an extended stay with Rekha. She sent me regular updates and pics of Tyson throughout his stay. Will definitely book again !”
“I was really nervous about leaving Lewis behind because he's still recovering from surgery (the wound is healed, but he's still fragile), but Jennifer did a great job of keeping his activity restricted while still making sure both of my dogs got lots of love. She also provided regular (2x/day) updates and daily pictures, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will absolutely be using her again when I need a sitter in this area.”
“Kirsten was absolutely wonderful and Archie had a great time exploring her home. She kept us informed and provided pictures of our boy so we knew he was okay. Archie can't wait to be back. Thank you, Kirsten!”
“Briana was amazing with Brownie. We were given several updates and even a report card at the end when we went to grab him. Brownie was happy to see us but he seemed to enjoy his team with Briana and had some time to socialize as well. I will definitely use Briana in the future and highly recommend her to anyone that needs her services”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Wendy made my boys and me comfortable during their stay with her. I never had any concerns and she sent me a pic and vid during their stay. They looked super comfortable and even made a new friend in her own fur baby! Wonton is tuckered out from playing! Thank you again Wendy!”
“Kenia was great! She agreed to take my dog for a week and a half, asked questions in advance to ensure she knew what he needed, and kept me completely up to do date throughout his stay. I really appreciated all the photos and videos and quick replies. He got lots of walks and play time and seemed to really settle in.”
“Aki took care of our dog, Jack, very well. He got walk, sun bathing, and we got a lot of pictures from her. We tried the other sitter too, and I trust Aki more. Definitely would book her again next time.”
“Denise took wonderful care of my dog while we were away. She communicated clearly throughout the process, sent regular updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing, and my pup came home happy. A great experience!”
“She was an excellent sitter! She sent pictures and updates every day, and was great at communicating. She had a nice set up for the dogs to play and you can tell she loves dogs. I highly recommend Cole and will be back the next time we need someone to watch Luna.”

Tammy took great care of our dog, Gizmo, during his two-night stay. She kept us updated with the perfect amount of communication and shared photos throughout, which we really appreciated. Gizmo came home happy and relaxed, which gave us peace of mind that he had a great stay. We also appreciated how efficient and friendly Tammy was during both drop-off and pick-up, making the handoff easy and stress-free. We would definitely book with Tammy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Naiomie is clutch. She is a Godsend to us. She entertained us in a short notice. She welcomed our Chewy like her own family. The positive energy between Chewy and Naiomie is evident the first sight they had. She updated us on how chewy is behaving and adjusting in his new environment. She gives you notices as if your dog is never away. She adjusted to Chewys needs to make his stay as calm as possible. So if ever you need someone to watch over your furry love ones don’t hesitate to reach Naoimie. If only there is 7 stars for a rating; I’ll give her an 8.
Cole is the best! She has taken great care of our dog Harley for a few years now while we enjoy summer vacation. She gives Harley the care and attention that she needs while offering playtime with her own dog Aston. She keeps us up to date with pictures and messages daily and provides special treats that she knows Harley loves . I am so thankful we found Cole and we highly recommend her services.
Ana took wonderful care of my dog! She made sure my dog was less anxious on his first night by keeping him company on the couch. And, she was very flexible when I had to add an extra day to the booking at the last minute. Ana went above & beyond and I highly recommend her!!
Irene and her family were beyond fabulous. First time using Rover and wow did we luck out by finding this family. Irene was a vet tech before becoming a stay at home mom which made me feel very comfortable since our dog is a diabetic and needs insulin injections twice a day. But after meeting her and her family, her experience didn’t even matter because I could see the love. She sent me texts every morning and evening with adorable pictures of their little one and my dog. I almost felt jealous!!! I absolutely recommend this family to watch your pet, whatever your needs may be. You’ll be lucky to have them!!!
I had my dog stayed with Rekha for a couple nights and I felt like they tried their best to make my dog as comfortable as possible. It was his first time staying with a sitter and she made the transition so easy and made my worries go away. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others!
Sherifat was absolutely amazing! Her communication was top-tier from start to finish. She was able to take my dog last minute right after his neutering surgery, which I truly appreciated. I had a trip already booked, and my dog had been waitlisted for months for this surgery—so when they finally reached out with an appointment, I didn’t want to miss it, but I also couldn’t cancel my trip. I found Sherifat on Rover and was immediately drawn to all her great reviews—and now I completely understand why! While I was away, she kept me updated with messages and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It made the whole experience stress-free and easy. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their fur baby—Jet loved her! Thanks Sherifat!
Excellent experience and highly recommended. I used Ms Maozhi's service on December 30, 2025 to January 3 2026. Our pet was well taken cared of. Ms Maozhi treated our Coco like her very own. We got daily updates and photos of Coco. Will definitely use her service in the future.
12/10 - I was so nervous to leave my dog with someone new after just moving to the area. Rachel took incredible care of my dog and helped her warm up a little more to her and dog each day. She’s also really easy to communicate with and gave my dog tons of love and attention and even sent pics. Absolutely my go to dog sitter moving forward.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with June! Our pup has a lot of anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving him. From the very beginning, June took our concerns to heart and made sure Ollie felt safe and cared for. She sent us daily updates with pictures and thoughtful notes that reassured us and helped us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she truly listened to what Ollie needed and adjusted her care with patience and compassion. Her attentiveness and calm presence gave us so much peace of mind, and we are so grateful to have found someone nearby who we can trust with Ollie. Thank you, June, for going above and beyond with your amazing dog-sitting abilities. We can’t recommend you highly enough!
Timothy is a good natured caregiver for your dogs. He has three large dogs of his own and keeps a close eye on the dynamics between the dogs in order to maximise their comfort. I left my dog 50-pound pit bull with Timothy for three days and I’m pretty sure Bruno had fun. He’s used to being mostly by himself in his own backyard. But Timothy has a doggie door that’s big enough for Bruno to have the freedom to be outside, plus the other dogs are there. I think it was never a dull moment for Bruno.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elk Grove on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,759 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elk Grove. 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.
94% of Elk Grove 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 Elk Grove 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 Elk Grove 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 Elk Grove.
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 Elk Grove 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.
