“Wally & Roxy had a great 1st time stay. Thank you for sending pictures throughout the day. Roxy being a puppy liked interacting with other dogs. Appreciated quick responses when I had questions.”
“Irina is a wonderful sitter. She watched our 6-year-old dog and our son's new puppy for 4 nights. She was very proactive, with lots of updates and videos of our girls, and super responsive whenever we checked in or had a question. Her training as a vet is so reassuring. She noticed that our girl was exhibiting some behaviors that indicated she had some inflammation and was kind enough to intervene (with our blessing) to straighten things out for us. Would 100% recommend Irina.”
“Doggy Disneyland with Denise was a dream for my puppy. My yorkie, Aston has a lot of puppy energy, he enjoyed playtime with the other dogs, and appeared to really have enjoyed this time from the videos & photos denise to the initiative to share. Very happy guy when i picked him up. overall we are likely to return in the future & highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Qiana was wonderful! She was great about keeping in touch with daily photos and even had a sweet care package to send home with both of our pups! Thank you again, Qiana!”
“Catherine and Ernie are a sweet couple that love fur friends. They properly treated our girl when she got a little cut on her tail, sent us pictures every day, and are great communicators! Our Hazel came home tired and happy.”
“Kirsten was an amazing sitter. She paid great attention to our care instructions. Cooper had fun with her kids who were gentle, loving, and respectful. Cooper seemed very happy during and after his stay. Ca’t wait to be back.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Annie is the best. The dog sitter we trust as much would be family. When Bailey goes to Annie's house she is pampered and returns home happy as a clam. She has gotten severe anxiety with other sitters.”
“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 !”
“Cole M. gave our senior Chihuahua, Lily, exceptional care by providing adequate space to play/explore, feeding her, and keeping her safe while walking her. Lily seemed to feel at ease with Cole and the other 3 puppies/dog. Lily like her new friends, and we enjoyed trusting Cole with our dog. Lily stayed in Cole's loving care from Sat., 6/1 to Sun., 6/2. We plan on utilizing Rover.com to book some future dates with Cole as our dog sitter. Thanks again Cole M. ~Prof. Keith & Roz H.”
“We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“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!”

Rocky is a special-needs dog - anxiety, sundowners, allergies, IBD, .... It takes a special person to board and care for Rocky, and that person is Florene. She has a heart for dogs, but she also has knowledge and experience - and knows how to command respect from them. I never want to take Rocky anywhere else. Even though it is an hour's drive for us one way, the peace of mind is worth it. And besides, we really like Florene and her husband Pat.
Carrie was the absolute perfect boarding sitter for my two dogs! She kept me updated with photos and shared all the fun activities my fur babies were up to. I loved her personality and the positivity she brought to their care. We will definitely be booking with her again. #dogs #petsitter #gratitude 🐾🐶✨
Rekha was wonderful with our dog Sammy! She sent regular photo and message updates, took her for walks, and was very patient when Sammy was a bit nervous and didn’t eat much the first night (totally normal for her in a new place). By the next morning Sammy was eating and looking relaxed. Rekha also accommodated our slightly late pickup without any issue. Her home setup is clean and comfortable, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards. We felt completely at ease leaving Sammy with her and would happily book again. Thank you, Rekha!
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.

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.
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!!!

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.
