Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.

This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!

Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.

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.

Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.

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.

Had the best experience with the sitter! She was so kind, met up and did a meet and greet in a park so our dogs could get comfortable with each other, and she sent so many photos and even took my dog on a 2 mile hike. We already booked her for our two week international trip and I feel so relaxed that my dog is going to be in good hands!!! My go to person!

Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. ​She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺

A great experience all around. Our girl Maya stayed with Ami and her family for three nights. Ami was very communicative and sent updates with pictures every day, which I really appreciated. Once we picked her up, Maya was content and ready for a nap. Oh and Ami's dog Coco is a sweetheart 💖 The first day she greeted Maya with lots of waggy tails and friendly sniffs. If you're looking to board your dog, I highly recommend Ami and her family. They made us feel very comfortable, starting with the meet and greet and through Maya's stay.

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!

Erin was an amazing dog sitter for Ouzo! She took the time to learn what he likes and made sure he was comfortable and happy throughout the week. We loved getting plenty of photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Ouzo clearly had a wonderful time with Erin and was a very happy dog when we picked him up. 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!

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!

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.

I am so grateful I had Natasha watch our dog, Raptor. Natasha responded right away to our request and thoroughly answered all my questions. She took the time to get to know our pup’s routine and made sure to follow it during Raptor’s stay with her. She sent us pictures and updates. When we picked Raptor up I could tell how comfortable she was. If you are looking for a pet sitter that genuinely cares, is proactive, responsive, and will treat your dog like her own then Natasha is your person. I 10/10 recommend her!

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 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.
