Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.

Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.

I cannot recommend Mr. Vipulkumar highly enough as a dog sitter for my beloved Nina! From the moment I entrusted her to his care, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Mr. Vipulkumar's home was incredibly welcoming, and he made sure Nina felt right at home too. He took the time to understand her personality, preferences, and routines, which made a world of difference. It was heartwarming to see how much he genuinely cared for her well-being. Throughout her stay, Mr. Vipulkumar kept me updated with regular videos and pictures. These delightful updates showcased Nina's happy moments—playing in the yard, snugging in her bed, and enjoying walks around the neighborhood. It was a joy to see her so comfortable and content, and it reassured me that she was receiving all the love and attention she deserves. Nina formed a special bond with Mr. Vipulkumar during her time there. His patience and kindness made her feel safe and cherished, and it truly felt like she was part of the family. In summary, Mr. Vipulkumar provided an outstanding experience for Nina, ensuring she felt at home while I was away. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is reliable, caring, and attentive, Mr. Vipulkumar is the perfect choice!

It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!

Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!

Ms. Pilar was beyond exceptional I really loved how she cared for my 2 dogs I came back a little later than I wanted to but she was very understanding about the situation. I received messages every day from her as well as photos of the dogs. She took them on lots of walks and provided love and care for them as they were her very own. I recommend her Kai is a lot more calmer since he has been home. I recommend Ms. Pilar to everyone she is the best and has a true love for the dogs in her care. Thanks Ms. Pilar we appreciate you Prince and Kai Miss you as well.

My dog Dakota had such a good time with Matthew! She was clearly comfortable and happy the whole time, which with her being an anxious pup is rare. Communication was excellent: photo updates, quick replies, and genuine care that put us at ease while i was away. Highly recommend, I will absolutely be booking again!

Elizabeth was great with Winnie! I can always tell if our Rover’s follow the care instructions by the way Winnie looks, behaves, and smells when she gets home (bulldog things…lol). And Elizabeth crushed it! Even with Winnie’s needs being a bit higher this time after an emergent tooth extraction, she was great with her. We really liked her, and thought she did an excellent job!

We are very thankful to have found Jessica. I had hesitated on using this app after being cancelled on from another sitter but after her taking our request, I am amazed on how she can take both our dogs and make them feel at home. She is more than able to care and understand both our dogs needs. She gave us update every day with highlights of the day and photos on how they are doing. I really and truely appreciate her attentiveness and letting us know they are in good hands. Thank you Jessica for making it possible for us to relax on our mini vacation knowing you are caring for our pets!!

Susan and Joanne were excellent and have a wonderful home. We liked that they had us do and meet & greet to make sure it was a good fit for our dog. They accommodated us last minute and really helped us out. They went out of the way to cook special food when our dog was not eating his kibble. We would love for our pup to stay with them again.

Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with Truffles, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. As the owner of a 10-year-old senior dog, it can be difficult to find someone who is the right fit since many doggy daycares will not accept older dogs. What I loved most was that Kathryn works from home and has no pets or children in the house, so Truffles had a calm, quiet environment where he could get plenty of attention and companionship. He’s used to being around people all the time, so it was perfect for him. Kathryn was incredibly kind, communicative, and thoughtful. She sent photos and updates a couple of times each day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Every message reassured me that Truffles was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone you truly trust with your dog, especially one you’ve had for 10 years, but I felt completely confident leaving him with Kathryn. He came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well loved. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Emerald Hills on Rover is $50 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 4,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Emerald Hills. 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 Emerald Hills 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 Emerald Hills 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 Emerald 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 Emerald Hills.

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 Emerald 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.
