“Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!”
“I've booked Danielle twice now for my dog, and I am quite picky about who I'm willing to leave him with. She took great care of him, and I will call her next time I need to leave town. I appreciated getting photos of him, and even a video. Thank you!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our love bug. Great communication. Great updates on his walks, eating habits, nap times, and play times. We love that he gets socialized with other pups. Drop off and pickup was easy and smooth. Highly recommend. Great sitters.”
“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”
“Mariola took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town on vacation. Her home setting for a few small dogs worked out well for our small, sweet, and shy cavapoo. We appreciated the periodic updates she provided about our dog during our trip as well.”
“Christine went above and beyond to take great care of our dog! Buca had a great time and came home happy and healthy after staying with Christine. We will definitely be reaching out again for future visits.”
“Mary was incredibly communicative, attentive, and loving with our senior pup. Our dog came back in such a happy mood - I can really tell he had a wonderful time with her. Would recommend Mary to anyone and would definitely book with her again!”
“Niyuan is an excellent pet sitter. Very responsible and reliable, and she communicated clearly and consistently the entire time. She kept detailed records of feeding and care, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated how she maintained open communication throughout, always keeping me updated. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
“Rob was great and i could tell Elektra enjoyed herself. It was her first time away from home and Rob not only gave her great care he brought comfort to myself! As soon as she got home she snuggled up and fall asleep. Thank you Rob!!”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Faviano provided the best dog sitting environment ever. He sent great photos, regular updates, and was flexible and responsive. He obviously loves dogs.”
“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”
“Stephanie, her husband, and her two sweet doggies made Clover and Willow feel right at home! From day one, Stephanie was very accommodating of Clover’s anxiety, giving her space and patience when she needed it the most. She took both girls on adventures (Willow was always down; Clover sometimes stayed home) and they clearly had a blast! I couldn’t recommend Stephanie enough to care for your pups. The care she provided, as well as adorable pics/vids and detailed reports, had me relaxed that my dogs were in good hands for my entire trip! Thank you so much!”
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”

Esteban and Edelis were great sitters for our older, somewhat scared little pooch. When he was having trouble eating Esteban hand fed him to get him to eat! They really went above and beyond to communicate and make sure our dog was treated well. We are very appreciative and will definitely be repeat customers.
Sarah took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were out of town for two weeks. Molly was happy, and got lots of attention and walks. Sarah is communicative -- we got regular updates and great photos. She clearly just really loves and understands animals. We would be delighted to have her sit for Molly again.
We couldn't be happier working with Alexis. We have a sweet senior Shepard mix with a lot of anxiety. Alexis gave him a lot of love and care. Her communication and ability to handle unexpected situations with our dog made our vacation less stressful. We absolutely will work with her again.
Ning cared so thoughtfully for my puppy, who needed overnight care while I was moving. Even though my puppy’s second overnight ever and first time with Ning, she was more relaxed. I could tell she was tired but not overstimulated. Ning also was communicative about some specific concerns I had with my puppy’s health/behavior and was attentive to keeping a routine for my puppy in the midst of so many changes. Thank you so much, Ning, I’m so grateful!
Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend.

Asia was absolutely terrific with my dog, Archie! She has a calm and gentle energy that put my high energy pup at ease. I was very happy knowing he was in good hands and had her pup to cuddle with - he had a getaway while I did too 🤍 Will definitely book with Asia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Emeryville on Rover is $64.2 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 5,904 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Emeryville. 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.
93% of Emeryville 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 Emeryville 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 Emeryville 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 Emeryville.
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 Emeryville 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.
