“Zak and his wife were amazing! They were very flexible and understanding about our drop off time and pick up time. Also sent pictures almost everyday and let us know how Audi was doing. We definitely recommend Zak and his wife to future clients. They are reliable and definitely have fast response. I also truly enjoyed their doggies too. They made us felt comfortable and was always responsive to any questions we had. Thank you so much you two!! We didn't have to worry at all awhile we were away for one whole week. Audi looked like he had a lot of fun and enjoy his stay with you guys. We definitely will be a returning customer :) Thank you again!!”
“My dog had a great time with Lori. This trip was the first time he got to socialize with other dogs. Lori was great to send us pics of him playing with his new friends and she responded to texts quickly after we sent questions about his stay. She also had a plan for keeping the dogs safe and comfortable during fireworks. And she made sure he took his new allergy meds that were prescribed right before our trip. Thanks Lori for taking such good care of Fergus.”
“Briana was absolutely amazing! Her daily updates were a nice thoughtful and personal touch, especially since this was our first extended time apart from each other. Beau definitely seemed to have enjoyed himself during his stay!”
“This was my second time booking with Diane and she was wonderful. She definitely makes me feel at ease when I have to leave my puppy Harley and go out of town. She sends updates often to show that my little guy is doing great. I highly recommended Diane. Harley loves her too.”
“Really grateful we found Irina. We have NEVER left our fur baby with anyone, but last minute plans meant we were in a bind and needed care for our dog over the weekend. Irina was very responsive and communicative. She invited us inside during the drop off which really helped us feel comfortable. You can tell she is an animal lover. She was very sweet with our pup. She sent photos and videos throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Irina. One tip, if you are using Irina's services for the first time, I would recommend writing down any feeding or care instructions. English is her second language so written care instructions are helpful.”
“Naomi was amazing and has a huge heart for pups. She had our Benny for 2 nights and was great with communicating and updating us with photos and video of his time there. Highly Recommended! We will be using her for all our vacations.”
“This is Oreo’s second stay with Marilee, Joe and their dog Zuko. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I know Oreo is well cared for and enjoys his time there taking advantage of the comfy sofa & huge park like yard. We will be back for the next holiday!”
“Trina communicated promptly and gave updates of my dog’s stay with her. Perla loved playing with the resident dogs and was nice and worn out when she came home. I would use her again.”
“Carrie was "EXCELLENT"! She made us feel at ease when we dropped off Bella. She was very sweet and kind. She gave us a very good vibe and we felt confident our Bella was going to be okay with her. She sent us pics and videos of Bella while was under her care and we could see Bella being herself and that gave us peace of mind. We will definitely will be returning customers in the future. We were extremely satisfied with her service. Thank you! Eva”
“Nadezhda (Nadia) and Alex are an awesome couple who welcomed Kenta as the newest member of their family. Kenta was loved, cared for, and pampered by the entire family. Alex and Nadia shared great pics and videos daily letting us see how content our big boy was with them. I recommend them highly.”
“Ersai took such great care of Goku while I was away! Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also asked thoughtful questions whenever she wanted to make sure Goku was comfortable and well cared for, and I really appreciated her attention to detail. It was clear that Goku was happy, loved, and in great hands during his stay. I highly recommend Ersai to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Goku!”
“Our dog Midnight had a great time hanging out with Kirsten and her family. She sent me pictures, texts and videos of him so we could see how he was doing. We’ll definitely be looking to book with her again when we need a sitter for our baby dog.”

“Khyli was amazing! Max fit right in when he stayed a couple nights with her. He came back happy and that makes this mama’s heart happy! Would love to book with Khyli again 🦋🤍”
“We have used Diane multiple times for our 3 dogs. They all love spending time with Diane. The dogs always come home happy. We receive plenty of pictures throughout their stay. Highly recommend.”
“Tammy was very easy to talk to, promptly responds and just overall helpful as to this was our first time leaving our 1 year old dog with someone else. She did a meet and greet prior to our trip. She did daily check ins and sent photos of our doggy. We’d definitely use her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elk Grove
They took fantastic care of our small dog under very difficult circumstances. Our dog had severe separation anxiety, she wanted nothing to do with them. But they still took care of her, even sleeping on the couch to keep an eye on her at night because she didn’t want to go inside the house. I’m very thankful because I was prepared to try to come home and get her but they kept insisting that we don’t worry and just enjoy our anniversary trip. Thank you very much for everything.
As a Rover member for almost 10 years, I can confidently say that Connor and his wife, Allison, are the best hosts I’ve ever worked with. I needed to find a sitter last minute for a family event, and Connor was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and responsive from the very beginning. Before I even confirmed the booking, he offered a meet and greet so I could see where our pup would be staying and make sure I felt comfortable with the accommodations—and they exceeded my expectations. He had a comfortable crate ready for her, plenty of yard space to play, and is conveniently located near a dog park. Throughout her stay, I received daily text and photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. And the photos said it all—our pup was all smiles, happily rolling around in the grass at the park and clearly having a great time. :) Knowing she was safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself made it so much easier to be away from her. Connor and Allison will absolutely be my first choice anytime we need a sitter from here on out. I can’t recommend them enough!
Ersai is an amazing sitter! She followed our instructions and made our Merlin very happy while we were away! She also provides updates on his activities, health, energy, and so much! Ersai has sent us pictures and videos of Merlin and they were so many cute moments She captured that I got to see! Merlin was able to go on walks with her and go to the park too! Very satisfied and happy with her service :D
Jenifer provided wonderful care for Canela. We received updates throughout the day & upon our return Canela was happy & playful. I would/will ask Jenifer to watch Canela in the future. She is excellent in caring for dogs. Her son Jared & her dog Gus also warmly welcomed Canela. I'm very happy to have found a trustworthy pet sitter.
Naiomie was amazing with our dog, Mika. She provided constant updates on how she was doing, photos & videos, and really made her feel like she was part of the home. I will 100% be using Naiomie in the future and can't thank her enough for taking care of our little frenchie!
We were initially a little nervous about having someone else care for our fur baby because he was still so new to our family. Rekha quickly put our minds at ease and took wonderful care of him. She regularly sent photos and updates, which helped us feel comfortable while we were away. We were also a little concerned because she was caring for another dog at the same time, but after a successful meet-and-greet, both dogs got along well and there were no issues during his stay. Our dog had an amazing time with Rekha, and it was clear that he felt happy, safe, and well cared for. Rekha was attentive, dependable, and wonderful to work with. We would absolutely trust her to care for him again and plan to use her for future dog-sitting needs. We highly recommend her!
We have continued to be so grateful for the wonderful care June provides for our pup! A year later, we can confidently say that she has become someone we trust with him. Communication has always been excellent, and we especially appreciate how thoughtful she is about sending us daily updates and photos. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing how well our pup is doing whenever we’re away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so kind, reliable, and attentive - we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
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!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elk Grove on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,746 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.
95% 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.
