“Deanne took wonderful care of our dog at her house while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and messages to see how she was doing. I would recommend her to any pet owner and will certainly be using her in the future. Thank you for a great stay!”

“Sumer continues to be the best! It always warms our heart to see how excited our dog gets when we arrive at her house—he can’t wait to get inside to see all his friends and playmates! Special shout-out this time for Sumer quickly trouble-shooting a solution when I realized that I’d miscalculated and sent the wrong amount of food for our dog’s stay; we know he’s always in good hands with Sumer, and as any pet parent knows, that’s the best feeling!”

“This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.”

Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”

“Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!”

“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”

“Gracie had an amazing stay with Joanne (& her family!) I enjoyed the communications and pictures during Gracie’s time in their home. Gracie enjoyed playtime with the kids and with the resident dog, Olivia. She had her kennel available, but enjoyed cuddles with their teenage son and quickly made herself a part of the family. I will certainly consider booking for future stays, and recommend Joanne to others!”

“Dickson is a top-notch sitter. He is very skilled at knowing a dog intuitively. Our dog is rambunctious at times and he was very careful about when he needed to intervene. He gave our dog medicine as requested without a problem. His backyard is huge and fenced and we saw how our dog loved to be out. We cannot give him enough praise! Thank you, Dickson.”

About: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.

“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”

“Alyssa was so accommodating! We needed our dog taken care of while away from home to see a concert. We miscalculated our drop off time and then had a significant delay exiting the concert venue. She was flexible, communicative, and nice about the situation. She asked questions about our dog’s needs and took good care of him! Very grateful to her - it was an awesome concert!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Fontana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fontana is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 387 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fontana. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Fontana 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 Fontana 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 Fontana.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fontana. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Fontana 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 WI 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
