“Booked with Alvaro again to watch my dog while out of town. He sent me daily updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. My dog looked relaxed and enjoyed his time. I was reassured my dog was in good care. Thank you!”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“Bernard and Hung took great care of our German Shepherd Lily. She can get a little anxious around rambunctious or overly active dogs. They kept her calm and happy. She came home very happy. Great communication and rapid replies. They sent daily photos. Highly recommend!”
“Nikcole was very flexible and understanding. She and her family took great care of our family. Our pets seemed very comfortable around the entire group. We would love to have her sit for us again.”
“Al and his wife took exceptional care of our dog Stella. We were visiting from out of state and Al was flexible with drop off and pick up time. Stella got to go with them to line dancing. She was loved and treated like their own. Real special dog caregivers. Thank you!!!”
“Sunny took great care of our dog who can be quite shy with new people. Ralphie was in great hands and it really allowed us to enjoy our trip. She was very responsive and gave detailed updates. Ralphie will for sure be back!!”
“This was his first time in the care of a stranger or anyone for that matter outside of his home. I was very nervous how he was going to react. During our time apart, I did receive pictures of him and that definitely eased my concern. He looked happy when I picked him up three days later. Thank you, Jenny for taking care of Sosa.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katrina! From the beginning, they were communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease leaving dodger in their care. They provided regular updates, photos, and let us know how our pup was doing throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. It was clear that dodger was well cared for, comfortable, and received plenty of attention and affection”
“Thank you Patricia for making my baby feel home . Thank you for sending me her pictures and keeping me posted on how she is doing. I highly recommend Patricia to any one she is a loveable person and she will me your pup feel home . ❤️”
“Best dog sitter I've ever had! You can tell she really loves the pups and that you'll be leaving your fur baby in really good hands immediately at drop off. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone she doesn't know for the first time but she sent me pictures and reassured me for the entire stay. Very flexible and great communication as well!! Definitely recommend her as a sitter for anyone. If I lived in the area I would use her services when ever I needed sitter”
“Wonderful person, she kept me updated the whole time (me and my husband were out for 5 days) Vanessa sent me pictures and videos everyday at all times. Will definitely be requiring her assistance in the future. Totzy misses her!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the loving care and attention Melanie provided for our two pups! She ensured they seamlessly meshed with her own dog, as well as another dog she was caring for at the time. She went above and beyond to alleviate our concerns about the stairs, and employed all appropriate safeguards. We gladly and heartily recommend Melanie!”
“So sweet! Very nice couple and their dog is adorable and well behaved also. Avery had a great time! They even sent him home with a really cute photo of himself. I can’t say enough good things and I will definitely use her again.”
“My dog, Bailey, had a great stay with Victoria. She stayed in touch with me assuring me Bailey was fine. I knew she was in good care. No problems, easy to interact with. I would recommend her!!”
“Armida is fantastic. She’s been looking after my mini Aussie, Loki, for the past four months, and I couldn’t be happier. I met her when I had just moved to Huntington, and she was kind and welcoming from day one. Loki now gets genuinely excited when we pull up to her house. She’s reliable, consistent, and lovely, and she always sends photos when I’m travelling for work, which gives me so much peace of mind. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fountain Valley is $63

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was in town for a business event and needed someone to take care of Penny for a few days. He was incredibly responsive and respectful, took great care of her, and sent me pictures and updates every day. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. If I lived locally, I would absolutely use him again!
Katrina was so sweet and good to my two dogs. They definitely seemed to have a lot of fun playing with her and going on walks. She sent us many videos which we loved receiving. Her two cats were really sweet as well and got along fine with our pups. We came back to two happy dogs and would recommend Katrina to anyone :)
Kim and her partner did an amazing job keeping me and my fiance at ease while we travelled in the area for the weekend. It was our first time leaving Lemon and Nori with someone outside of friends/family. She did a great job keeping us updated with cute pictures and our dogs loved their stay. We will book again next time we travel to this area. We only hope to find someone just as great in our city.
Jose and his wife were fantastic! This was our first time leaving our dog with them and he returned back happy and well rested. We received plenty of photos as well as constant communication. Jose was also amazing to accommodate our travel issues and stayed up late to allow us to pick up our dog. We would definitely reach out and use them again for watching our dog and would gladly recommend them to others as well!
This was our first time leaving our senior dog with someone we didn’t know since our typical pet sitter wasn’t available, so I was a little nervous. When I first met Armida; however, she was so kind and immediately put me at ease. She took such great care of Nessie and really spoiled her. We already have our second stay booked with Armida, and I will definitely be using her for future trips.
Catherine was so sweet and responsive throughout the entire process! Her pre-screening questions were very helpful and made the boarding process seamless and easy. Most importantly, Oso immediately felt comfortable with her, which says a lot because he can be a little anxious in new environments. He was so comfortable that when I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back 😂
I have an aging dog with special needs which makes it difficult to feel comfortable leaving him with someone else. Heather was very understanding, very accommodating, and willing to be supportive to create a solution that benefits my dog, myself, and her homesteading routine. I am grateful to have found her.
This was my first time using Rover. I always ask a close friend or family member to take care of my Blu if I go out of town. So to give my Blu to someone whom I just met, was a very scary thought. But Tate couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable as an owner. 10/10. The moment my dog met Tate, it was like he had known him for years. Tate has such a caring and warm spirit, and I believe my dog felt that the moment he walked through the door. Tate sent multiple pictures throughout each day, showing that Blu was in good hands. My first experience with Tate (and Rover) couldn’t have gone any better. If you’re scared/nervous about leaving your pet with a dogsitter like I was, I would highly suggest leaving them under Tate’s care. Tate is the best and he’ll be seeing Blu again.
Leiani was great with my Vizsla! I love that she has a V around the same age too so my pup had a buddy! She knew exactly how to handle my baby…the velcroness and energy level. Leiani sent me pics/videos daily during their adventures. I highly recommend Leiani…esp to all the parents of “special” pointers like mine 🤣

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.
94% of sitters in Fountain Valley 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 Fountain Valley 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 Fountain Valley.
<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 Fountain Valley 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.
