“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.”
About: I provide specialized, intuitive care tailored to what your pup or kitty actually needs at their specific stage of life. Because I maintain a manageable guest count, your pet gets true one-on-one attention. You’ll receive daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how much fun (and pampering) they are having! Since I stay at home full-time, pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day, it is my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to offer the kind of constant supervision, companionship, and structured care that dogs and cats thrive on. Your pets safety and emotional well-being are my absolute top priorities. Because I am home full-time, I am able to maintain a meticulously supervised, secure, and stress-free environment. I have a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can safely explore and play. Doors and gates are strictly managed to ensure there are no accidents!
“I left my dog for a week with Tracey. I was so nervous because he has separation anxiety and I’ve never spend a night away from him. Tracey was so good to him and was sending pictures and videos daily. He got just as much of a vacation as we did. He loved playing at Tracey’s farm!”
“Amy is great, she keeps us updated, sends plenty of pictures and our little one loves hanging with her. Before we took her to Amy, we took her to different Kennels, but every time she would whine for at least 1/2 a day after picking her up. We just picked her up from 5 days with Amy and she has not whimpered at all.”
“I have nothing but great things to say about Steven and his pup, Kezo! Steven was super attentive, knowledgeable, communicative, and kind. His place is like doggy heaven! My mind was completely at ease while I traveled. And my pup looked very happy and relaxed when I picked him up too. I look forward to booking with him again.”
“Nestor, was patient kind and genuinely cared for my beautiful Josephine, even accommodated my reservation when I requested the day before, responded to all my messages and sent pictures which is great to see when I am away and wonder how my dog was doing , my dog ate, slept, and even made a new friend with Nestor and Nestor's dog. I definitely recommend and will reserve with Nestor again thank you Nestor!”
“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.”
“This was our first time booking on Rover and Stephanie made it such a breeze! I’m an anxious dog mom but she was great with our puppy and providing updates anytime I checked in! Mazapán loved her time with Stephanie and definitely would rebook with her in the future!”
“MK was an amazing host for our boy! He was sad to leave when we picked him up from having so much fun with his new friends. HAVING A HUSKY, the air tag was great for piece of mind. We will definitely bring our boy back in the future. Thank you MK”
“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!”
“Grace is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very attentive to them. We were so happy she accommodated our last minute request for our Whisky to stay with her this past weekend.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“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!”
“Alyssa and her family were absolutely the best. My little Shih Tzu gets kind of shy and nervous but he warmed up so fast. I was sent update photos and I could tell my dog felt at home. If I’m being honest, he seemed not as excited when I showed up. Definitely recommend and will use this family again. Thank you isn’t enough!”

“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Empire on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 257 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.
