“Mark was amazing with my dog, Ollie, for the long weekend he had him. He sent photos of him cuddling on the couch and laying out in the sun, my dog’s two favorite things to do so I knew he was in good hands. When I picked up Ollie up he was happy and healthy. Mark was also very responsive, communicative and understanding throughout Ollies stay. Really couldn’t recommend him enough.”

“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”

“Shane and Chris were absolutely amazing! I had to book them last minute after another sitter canceled, and I’m so grateful I found them. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. You can tell they take their responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the dogs in their care. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. They treated my dog like their own and went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with such a last-minute booking. I will absolutely be booking with Shane and Chris again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!”

It was our first time using Maria for dog sitting/ boarding. Of course, we were nervous since its the first time with someone new. Maria made us feel soo comfortable right from the start. She was so communicative and provided us with multiple updates and tons of photos throughout the stay! She even had to help give medication to one of our dogs , and was able to handle it , no problem. She was also super flexible with drop off/ pick up so that was much appreciated. We will absolutely be using Maria for our pet sitting needs in the future and would highly recommend her !! Thanks again Maria!!!!

Melinda is so friendly, caring, and reliable! From my first message about availability for our furry baby, she was quick to respond and helped us arrange a meet and greet right away. She was just as warm and personable in person as she was over messages. During the San Diego heat wave, our home lost power, leaving us without AC. With little ones and pet, our options for going somewhere indoors were limited. I reached out to ask about moving our meet and greet up and arranging last minute day boarding, and Maria was incredibly understanding and accommodating! Her home was welcoming, and meeting her gave me so much peace of mind that our baby would be in good hands even on his first stay! She was such a huge help during a stressful situation, and our family is so grateful. I would absolutely recommend her!

Brittany was an incredible dog sitter, I highly recommend! MULTIPLE photo/video updates daily and great at communicating in a timely manner. Hazel was SO happy at Brittany’s place and loved sunbathing in the private fenced backyard. She played with my dog a ton and made sure she was entertained. Hazel was noticeably extremely happy and well taken care of.

Eligha was great! He agreed to help last minute with my two dogs. My dogs can be overly excited when meeting new people, but they quickly warmed up to him. He took great care, played ball with them in the yard and took them on several walks. He also kept in constant communication and sent pics and videos. My dogs were happily tired by the time we got home. Highly recommend Eligha for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Cassandra was an excellent sitter! We got the dogs together first to make sure it would go well and she sent daily pictures/updates while I was away. She was very accommodating to my dogs needs and even allowed me to change the dates when plans changed to allow early pickup/refund. She also accepted a last minute book which was clutch. Highly recommend her as a sitter and I would hire her again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Emerald Hills on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $75 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,057 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 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.

95% of sitters in Emerald Hills 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 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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.
