“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”
“Amazing service! My road trip was a beautiful disaster, but Zak was so understanding and made sure to keep me updated! I can’t be more happier with the service and look forward to booking in the future!”
“I’d had a bad experience with a kennel, so I thought I would try something different. River.com has been a lifesaver! So easy to use the app and book your stay. Michael is the best. I have a very temperamental Doxie. She doesn’t like anybody. Well, she likes Michael! I can leave her with him and feel completely at ease. She’s stayed with him twice so far, and from the photos he sends me, she’s had a GREAT time with him. Please don’t put your dog in a kennel. Put her in a loving environment where she will be nurtured and taken care of. Send her to Michael! You, and your pup, will be glad you did...”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David”
“Alexis and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog Rio. This was our first time using this type of boarding service an I was a bit nervous. Her husband greeted me when I dropped Rio off and was so nice and easy going. It made me instantly feel at ease. During Rio’s stay, Alexis sent pictures and videos of Rio having the time of his life. One of my kids said “Do you think he’s even going to want come home” LOL. If you want your dog to be loved and treated like part of of a family while you’re gone I HIGHLY recommend using Alexis and her family!! 10/10 in my book!”
“I went on vacation for 5 days to Hawaii. I am so grateful to have found Tamara and her dog boarding services. My two furry babies were so well cared for, the environment that Tamara has set up in her home is made with dog's comfort in mind. I received two photos daily of my two babies which allowed me to truly relax. I will definitely be a return customer. Tamara is a dog lover and she cares for each dog as her own. I highly recommend Tamara!”
“Trina communicated promptly and gave updates of my dog’s stay with her. Perla loved playing with the resident dogs and was nice and worn out when she came home. I would use her again.”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“Naomi and Vadim were great! All 3 of my pups got along with their dogs well and my male Yorkie loved playing with their kids. All 3 dogs were pooped when we got home! Naomi sent me regular updates and pics.. definitely will board with them again. Thank you guys!”
“Frankie enjoyed his stays at Angela’s and made fast friends with her pup! We appreciate her watching him on short notice and being flexible with pick ups and drop offs. Thanks for taking good care of our little guy!”
“Darlene took great care and attention to my big big pups. It's not easy taking care of two large dogs, but Darlene did it with ease. She gave them all the affection and attention they wanted along with regular walks and plenty of play time. She was always great about communicating by providing updates throughout the day along with pictures. Will definitely use her services again.”
“I’m glad I found Nadya to take care of my dog. She kept me informed of how he was doing and bunch of cute pics and videos. I loved that he got to go on lots of walks and play time. sweet pet sitter 👌”
“Gracie came home and was happy eating and drinking her water. She mustve had a great time! Sohui sent pictures every day. Great place and perfect for little dogs tat need alot of attention. And Gracie was able to sleep in a bed!. I appreciate Sohui loving my dog so much while I was away.”
“Our doggies love going to Leslie’s! We have used her for a second time and felt totally comfortable leaving them. She provided the cutest pictures of them and they were obviously either relaxed and having fun or sleeping peacefully.”
“Edith is really good with dogs. She sends picture of Miro and update every day which makes me at ease. She is like a second mommy to My Miro where Miro is already comfortable.”
“Greg is a natural… he took great care of our 16 year old dog - lots of walks and extra attention. He was also super consistent about giving us updates with pictures and info. Glad we found him and won’t hesitate to call on him again. Thanks Greg!!!”
“Alba and her amazing family were great with our two doodles. She kept a very open line of communication and sent us a good amount of pictures of our dogs stay with them. My dogs probably felt like they were at a 5 STAR doggie resort. I love how active Alba’s family is while safely bringing our two along on their adventures in nature!!! We’ll definitely be contacting you again Alba . Thank you and I know Mydas and Gizmo are looking forward to it as well❤️”
“Gaby was fantastic. Very easy to work and communicate with, and Thor had a fantastic time. Her horse ranch is perfect for a golden like him that wants to work. We will definitely use her again in the future”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”

Josue looked after Stone for a week while we were having a trip. We have a meet and greet first before the boarding begins. Josue and his wife are very nice and sent me updates almost everyday. Stone like being there and we definitely would rebook again when future needs arises. Thank you.
I was very pleased with Derek and Leslie watching my pup. It was the first time I needed to have someone watch him so I was quite nervous. During drop off, Leslie helped me feel comfortable and reassured me that he would be safe at their home and around their pool, especially because my dog cannot swim. While I was away for the weekend I got frequent updates and photos. Although I was not able to respond often, I really appreciated that. I will say I was taken a little by surprise that there were other dogs there since I was not made aware of that during the booking process. Thankfully my dog is very friendly and so were the other dogs. My dog left their house happy and worn out from all the playing. I know he would be more than willing to return!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Nancy took such wonderful care of our pup and gave her lots of love, attention, and companionship. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure our pup was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Nancy!
As soon as I walked into Angela’s house i immediately felt connected! Her house is clean well organized, and feels like home! She has a beautiful backyard that is completely fenced and my Zeus loved basking in the sun out there! she (Angela) is well communicative very kind and has lots of charm! She tells me everything that’s going on and sends ongoing photos and videos whenever you ask! If I was late or early to picking or dropping off Zeus she was always kind about it and helped me with everything! She took care of Zeus like one of her own and I felt it from him! When I picked him up it was no fear no sadness no stress! It was like he was with family. He came back in perfect condition I truly trust Angela and definitely will be rebooking with her hundreds of times! This was my first time and definitely won’t be my last! Thank you Angela we appreciate you more then you know❤️❤️❤️❤️
Darlene was amazing! We received multiple updates every day of our girl “smiling”, playing ball, hardcore relaxing, and eating her meals promptly (which is notable on its own, as she rarely eats right away at home). Birdie was happy and clearly well taken care of when we picked her up. We’re glad to have added Darlene to our village of caring people who keep our family afloat ❤️
Yasmith & Jay are a lovely couple! They communicated and sent pictures often and we could tell our dog was getting spoiled! They were extremely flexible with our last-minute booking request, and I truly appreciated that. Our dog had a great time with them and looked great when we picked him up! They even gave him a bath while he was there. If needed, I will be using their services again. I would highly recommend Yasmith and Jay to watch your fur babies! I trust them 100%!
We are so happy to have found Johnna for our girls. She gives them so much love and takes wonderful care of them. We love getting the daily pictures and updates. She is such an animal lover and it shows. We are so grateful to have found her. We have peace when leaving them knowing they are in loving hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fair Oaks on Rover is $44.4 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 1,658 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fair Oaks. 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks.
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 Fair Oaks 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.
