Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!

When I picked up my Yorkie, Yuiza, she was so comfortable in Pilar's arms—it was such a cute memory! Pilar was incredibly communicative and responsive, ensuring Yuiza received her medicines and food right on time. I truly appreciated the regular updates and pictures. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone I know.

Thank you so much, Cerita, to you and your family for taking such great care of Teddy during his three-night stay. He was clearly well loved, and I am sure he enjoyed all the cuddles and attention. We are very grateful for the safe, warm, and caring home you provided.

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!

Kaitlin and Verle were lovely, organized, and prepared. I was especially appreciative of their willingness and desire to care for my dog who is undergoing chemotherapy and could have exhibited several symptoms while I was away and unable to care for her myself. Highly recommended; will request their services in the future.

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

Lori was wonderful from first contact and booking to pick up. We needed a local sitter while on vacation and she was thoughtful enough to offer extra time which was appreciated. At drop off we noted a secure fenced area which was plenty large. It was evident she had read each of the profiles and knew about each pet. The indoor area had large pens. She sent pictures that showed all pets comfortable and relaxed. And the Great Dane with big smile. We wish we could find someone like her in our state

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!

I have used Kaitlin and Verle’s pet care services twice now and have had an excellent experience both times. They’ve taken great care of my pup and he has come back healthy and happy both times. They have gone the extra mile to care for him when he has had small medical issues as well. Right before my dogs most recent stay with them, I had noticed that my dog had a little cut on his paw pad that seemed very irritated and possibly infected, and upon communicating with the Vet and showing them pictures of the wound, the Vet’s recommendation was to have my dog come in to have the paw pad looked at. I asked Kaitlin and Verle if they were able to take my dog in to the Vet and they were immediately willing to do it. That was an extremely important favor that allowed me to have some peace of mind while I was traveling and know that my dog was receiving the care he needed. I will be forever grateful for that. I highly recommend Kaitlin and Verle to anyone that is looking for high quality pet care for their dog.

We would definitely recommend Erin!

I highly recommend Ari if you need a pet sitter. She took care of our 10 month old Cavapoo puppy, and was glad that we booked her. She kept us informed during our trip with photos and latest updates. The photos showed my puppy having a great time with her as she was able to walk her and take her around with her. She's been very professional and courteous and i would definitely book again if the opportunity presents itself. This is our first family dog, and we wanted to make sure we pick the right sitter, and not someone who didn't care about another dog in her house. She showed that she cared and love the pet that she was watching. When i picked up the dog she thanked me for entrusting her with our pet. I forgot to mentioned that before we/she committed, we met at a park to see if there's a fit and if they'd get along. Ari has a calm, caring personality and she genuinely does the best for the dog's best interest. Lastly, her place has AC so I'm sure my dog was morebcomfortable there than at my place because we don't have AC. My puppy's probably thinking right now "Why'd you pick me up? I was super comfortable there." Anyhow, 10 out of 10 rating. Much appreciated Ari!

This is the first overnight boardings for our puppy pug Whiskey with sitter Melinda Excellent care provided: Whiskey was clean & looked so content sitting beside sitter Melinda & her dog Cloe when I picked him up; he, along with other dogs, were taken out for nature exploring walks. The facility is clean & tidy with lots of space for playing & relaxing; located in a quiet & good area of Paradise Hills. Melinda is a beautiful person with a calm & reassuring demeanor that made me feel that Whiskey is in "good hands". We are looking forward to Whiskey's more "next time" staying with Melinda & her family.

Avyon was amazing! We had to book her at the last minute because the sitter we arranged a month ago suddenly became unable to take care of our dog. Despite the last-minute arrangement, she made my dog feel at ease. In fact, it looks like he had a lot of fun! It was so nice of her to send us pictures of him smiling. Our plane also had long delays, so we had to pick up our dog the next morning, which she was happy to accommodate. We paid for the extra night's stay and added a generous tip because she truly made our trip stress-free. Highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Emerald Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Emerald Hills on Rover is $49.95 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 4,053 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.
