“Nancy was an outstanding dog sitter for Zoey! From the moment I booked with her, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout Zoey’s stay, Nancy sent frequent updates, photos, and messages so I always knew how she was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zoey was in such caring and capable hands. I could tell Nancy genuinely cared about her and treated her like one her own. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Tanner enjoyed his time with Derek & Leslie! They were communicating with us throughout his stay, sending us pictures and updating us on how he was doing. He is an active dog and it seemed that he was able to play fetch with every member of their family. Tanner was in good hands and we will be utilizing their services again if we are in need of boarding care for our dog.”

“Absolutely the best! My dog probably loves being at Alexis's more than his own home :/. She was amazing with last minute changes and I can't say enough positive things. A+!”

“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”

“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”

“Angela gave daily updates and was quick to respond to messages, which put me at ease when Bruce stayed with her and Jazzy for a week. I saw videos of him running happily outside and cuddling up next to her so I know he felt comfortable there!”

“Adrienne was amazing! She did such a good job with our dog and was also available in a last minute pinch that really saved us. She took our dog on walks and sent us adorable videos, and she was a breeze to communicate with throughout the process. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little bit nervous but it was an excellent experience and we definitely will have Adrienne dog sit for us again in the future.”

“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”

“Darlene is outstanding in every way. We have booked her several times, most recently for 3 weeks. She takes excellent care of our Lucy, did everything we asked including tooth brushing and sent great pictures and videos every day. We could be rest assured she was in great hands.”


“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”

“From the minute I drop my dog off I could tell she was in good hands Glady was very gentle and patient with my dog and let her run around your yard so I'm very happy with her service I would definitely use her again highly recommended!”

“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.

“Great sitter for our little fur pup! Had great communucation, always updated us daily, and gave plenty of pictures to see what our little rascal was up to. Followed any extra instructions given, and gave our dog the attention needed while dealing with a family emergency. Will definitely be using again, and couldn’t recommend more!!! A+++”

“First time with this family and can I say ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!!! I got soooooo many photos and videos and she looked so happy and safe and relaxed. Communication was instant, and it was so comforting to know Emma was cared for and loved. I’m so happy to have found them.”

“Serena took exceptional care of Huxley during our weekend away, with amazing communication. Huxley has his quirks and can be anxious; Serena took note of all of this and took extra care of him. She provided updates regularly, was super responsive and Huxley had a weekend of fun and care when we left him. Thanks!”

“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”

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 ❤️

I would highly recommend Derek and Leslie. Our normal dog-boarding fell through the night before our trip and they were able to take our dog Charlie last minute. He seemed to have a great time staying with them and we appreciated the pictures and updates. We'll definitely be using them again.

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.

Rhonda took amazing care of my baby girl! She treated Chewie like she was her own and even sent me photos throughout each day. I'm so thankful to have found Rhonda on the Rover app. Chewie is looking forward to her next visit with Rhonda and her two little dogs. Chewie made new friends! Choose Rhonda for your next pet sitting needs and you will not be disappointed!

She’s the best!! I love the daily updates and she communicates very well I’m so lucky to have found her my dog loves her so much and she treats my dog blue like her family ! Even if I book last min she never has a problem with it and is always super sweet and very hands on with blue so thank you so much again for always being there when blue and I need you !!

Erin & Devin communicated well about our dog & sent pictures. They truly seemed to care about him - brushed him, played with him in addition to his walks. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our trip & see pictures of a happy dog that was well cared for! We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Erin & Devin.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fair Oaks on Rover is $44.4 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 1,655 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.
