“Tracy and her family was awesome to Bella. They treated her like their own. Tracy sent photos and videos everyday. Bella was treated better than anyone outside of my who took care of her. We will definitely use Tracy again. Thanks again Tracy Jim and Dawn”
“Jennifer was super easy to work with. She communicated really well and she let me know that Luna was safe and comfortable. She really made me feel at ease about leaving my pet with her over the weekend.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ciara and her family! ❤️ They took such great care of our four-legged son, Bailey, while we were away. Knowing he was being loved and cared for made it so much easier for us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Ciara kept us updated every day on how Bailey was doing, and we absolutely loved receiving the pictures! It gave us so much peace of mind seeing his happy little face while we were away. 🐶❤️ Thank you, Ciara and family, for loving Bailey like he was your own. We are so grateful for the care, love, and attention you gave him. We highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving dog sitter. Bailey definitely enjoyed his stay—and we think he may have been a little spoiled! 😊”
“I left my two puppies in Allison’s care for 3 days and they were so happy! Allison send me photos everyday and kept me updated on how they were doing. She really is the best!”
“This was my Pixies first time with Amy. I was told that Pixie had a good time with Amy’s 3 little dogs. That makes me happy that she enjoyed herself and that she was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Amy again in the near future.”
“We recently hired Margerita to take care of our fur baby while we were away. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Margerita was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards our pet. She always updated us with pictures and videos whenever I asked her. It was very easy to communicate with her throughout the time she had our pet. It was really sweet of her to pack some treats in the bag when we picked him up. I can totally see that my pet was missing his two friends he made while living with her. I will definitely recommend her and will hire in future if needed.”
“Celia was very kind, understanding and helpful she accepted my last minute request. Great person and I felt extremely safe leaving my husky with her, she made sure to attend ALL my dogs needs. She made sure my dog was safe and loved for her stay! I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their pet! 10/10 service and very trustworthy.”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
“Nestor watched over my Bulldog Romeo while I had to go out of town. He watched him for a total of 7 day. Nestor was in contact with me the whole time sending pictures and updates of Romeo. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog.”
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
“Words can’t express how happy we are with our girls’ stay at Sandra’s. They felt right at home, got plenty of play time, cuddles, walks and their own personal “pet pals”. What more could a doggy ask for? They were all smitwhen we picked them up. No nervousness or anxiety just relaxed. They were very content and we could tell by the way the acted at home. They were very relaxed the rest of the evening. So glad we found this wonderful sitter and we will be rebooking her again.”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“My 4 year old Nala boarded overnight with Lauren at her place. Lauren was so sweet with Nala and made sure to make her feel at home. My dog has separation anxiety but Lauren made her feel comfortable. I received comforting photo updates frequently and that made me feel less anxious too. Definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs :)”
“We love Cyndi and so does Reecie & Khaleesi! Cyndi went above and beyond and settled our fears with leaving our special needs weenie dog behind in someone else’s care. Amazing!”
“Highly recommend! Our dog sitter took amazing care of our dogs over the weekend. They were attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry family members—we’ll definitely book with you again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, and giving your pet lots of love and attention while you’re away I’m currently home full-time with a very flexible schedule while my education is on pause. I’m looking to make some extra money doing something I love, and I’d be happy to spend that time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play safely. Inside, I have a clean, comfortable space for cats, puppies, and senior dogs to relax. I’ll make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Empire on Rover is $36.63 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 262 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Empire. 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.
90% of Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire.
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 Empire 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.
