“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”

“Angela and her home was a great choice to board my dog, Rocco, for a weekend stay. He has separation anxiety so she gave him plenty of attention and affection to make him feel right at home. She also shared photos and videos of his stay. The next time I'm in Sacramento, I won't hesitate to book her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little unsure about leaving my dogs for the day since my dogs can get very anxious when left alone or in unfamiliar situations. Darlene did an amazing job of making them feel right at home. She kept me updated through the day and sent tons of photos which helped put my mind at ease.”

“We had such an amazing experience with Olesia and her husband! They took incredible care of GG and treated him like their own. Their updates were thoughtful and consistent, and it was so clear how much they genuinely cared for him. GG can be particular, but he warmed up immediately- which says everything! We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We’ll absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Olesia! ♥️”

“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Simba was well cared for—taken on regular walks, and given lots of love and attention. I received updates with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, relaxed, and in good hands the whole time.”

“Serena did a Great job watching our dog. She communicated regularly, which put us at ease. She really knows about dogs & I felt like she cared about our dog. It was like our dog was on vacation too & we could relax & not worry about anything. Thank you Serena!”


“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.”

“Very pleased with ease of communication, Sarah was accommodating with my lack of transportation to get my dog to their place and back to mine. Would love to have her take care of my dog again if schedules allow.”

“Amy and Justin took care of fur baby while we were away. They took a great care of Snoopy. Felt him comfortable, teach new game , provided daily updates and answering promptly for every queries we had while we were away. I will highly recommend to Amy and Justin. Thanks Amy and Justin for taking care of Snoopy”

“Julia and her family took great care of Ellie and she had many special experiences while staying with her. Ellie had other play time, sensory experiences, and time other dogs. Julia was a great communicator, sent daily updates, and was attentive to Ellie’s needs. We will definitely board with Julia again!”

“Tammy is a true dog lover and mine loves her right back. I love the way she set up her home and yard to care for the dogs rain or shine. My 15 lb King Charles cavalier mix loves her dogs. She was able to watch him when my thanksgiving family pet sitter fell through. I will definitely board my sweetie with her again next time I need a sitter.”

About: I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.
“Jasmine was so very attentive and communicative during my week-long vacation. She sends lots of videos and photos and genuinely really loves the dog she cares for. I would definitely hire her again!”


“Jenna was so great to work with! My normal sitter had to cancel last minute before a week long trip and I was so nervous trying to find someone new, especially over 4th of July. Jenna was sweet and communication was quick and easy. She sent me photos every day and gave my little guy lots of love. She even administered ear drops for an ear infection my dog had just been diagnosed with. Everything was wonderful and absolutely would recommend her.”


About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.

Once again, Troy & Patricia took wonderful care of our dog Shasta while we traveled out-of-state. The daily photos and updates were very much appreciated, and Shasta seemed to have a great time going on numerous walks, eating treats, and getting lots of personalized attention! Highly recommended.

Naomi is the only boarder my Fur Baby will ever go to, when she’s available. She’s honestly so good that I am willing to plan my vacations around her schedule. My baby continues to come home the same happy camper as the day I dropped her off. That could be two days or as up to 14 days.

Nancy is wonderful and by far the best caretaker of our dogs that we have ever had. Nancy takes the time and effort to get to know the dogs she cares for and their unique needs. We have a very energetic border collie, and Nancy goes the extra mile to ensure that our dog gets plenty of walks, games, and stimulation. She provides daily updates and amazing photos. We cannot thank her enough for the exceptional care that she provides.

Derick and Leslie did such a great job taking care of my five year-old Australian Shepherd. I received pictures every day and comments back-and-forth. PJ was absolutely contented and comfortable staying with Derick and Leslie. I will be a repeat customer.! thank you
Inger watched our girl Maple while we were away getting married, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her! We were a little nervous about trusting someone with Maple during such an important weekend, but from the moment we met Inger, she made us feel completely comfortable. She was so warm and welcoming, and we immediately knew Maple was going to feel right at home with her. We especially appreciated the undivided attention and love she gave Maple, as well as the sweet pictures she sent us while we were away. Inger was also incredibly thoughtful about knowing we were busy with our wedding and didn’t want to overwhelm us with updates. She made sure to get an emergency contact ahead of time just in case she needed anything, which gave us even more peace of mind. We will definitely book again in the future!

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.

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%!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fair Oaks is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $70 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 1,659 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Fair Oaks can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fair Oaks home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
