“Sunny was great with Marley, my 6 y/o weimaraner. Marley wouldn't eat so Sunny mixed moist food with her kibble and sat with Marley until she ate. Sunny walked Marley regularly and sent me great photo's of Marley and another dog at the beach. I would highly recommend Sunny to watch your dog. I will definitely use her again. Five stars!!”
“Heather did a wonderful job of taking care of both of our fur babies (cat and dog). She went out of her way to bring the dog for the cat visits so the our cat can play with and have the company of our dog. She also spent time playing with both of our animals. I found Heather to be extremely responsive answering questions and sending pictures. She also showed us a better way to give our cat his meds and took the time to send us a video. We will definitely have Heather as our go to for both of our fur babies because we know when Heather is taking care of them, they are in the best hands possible!”
“Hanah was so amazing watching Dallas. She was constantly checking in, sending us pictures and was professional throughout the whole sitting . If anyone is looking for an amazing sitter we highly recommend her.”
“Teri was great! You can tell she loves what she does and I believe both my cat and dog were well taken care of. She also sent pictures of them everyday with short little notes and that made our trip more enjoyable! Thanks again Teri!”
“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”
“Alvaro took excellent care of my dog Costa during an unscheduled business trip! Alvaro's responsiveness, understanding, and flexibility ensured a great trip on short notice and quality care for Costa. Costa had a great time and I would recommend Alvaro for future bookings. Thanks Alvaro!”
“Rachel, thank you all the love and care you gave my pups! They came home happy campers! I was thrilled with all the photos you sent me, it meant a lot! Thank you so much!🙏🐶🐶😊”
“Jessica was excellent! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more thankful for the experience Jessica gave us. Drop off was easy, she sent us daily updates with pictures and pick up was very easy. We felt like she cared for our pups (4) like they were her own or like we would. It’s hard to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know but thanks to Jessica it was easier.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and genuinely love caring for animals of all ages. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior dogs that required extra patience, attention, and comfort. My family trusted me enough to fly from California to Hawaii to care for my sister’s senior dogs while they were away. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs over the years, and many people trust me because I’m dependable, gentle, attentive, and communicative. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease while away, and I treat every pet like family. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I do school drop-offs/pick-ups and activities for my son, along with personal errands and wellness activities, but outside of that I have plenty of availability throughout the day and evening for walks, feedings, companionship, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet with patience, love, and care. 🐾 I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable while away from home. I pay close attention to their routines, feeding schedules, behavior, and comfort levels, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also send regular updates and photos to owners so they can feel reassured and connected with their pets while away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to helping them feel relaxed and at ease in my home. 🐾
“Eunice was great with communication and made sure my 4 month old pup was well taken care of throughout his stay. I really appreciated the updates and would definitely book with her again!”
“Gretchen did a wonderful job taking care of my Luna. She sent pictures and updates whenever I asked how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook for any future trips!”
“Melissa and her family are incredible!. We've always had positive experiences with all rover.com sitters but Melissa is something else entirely. She is the warmest, most down to earth, glad-hearted sitter we've ever encountered. Her and her beautiful family showed our Milo more love than he could have hoped for, kept us updated during our travels with continuous photos and updates on our golden boy, giving us incredible peace of mind. They really took care of our boy and we COULD NOT be happier with the entire experience. We are new to Newport beach but we have now found our dog sitter! Give Melissa a message when you need sitting - you will love her and know that your furry family member is in the best of hands. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Chewie has stayed with Janice twice now and both stays have been great! He gets plenty of walks and play time and enjoys sleeping on the couch or bed ☺️. I would recommend Janice and will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Julia was such a great host to Salem and Cooper. They went on tons of walks, played in the park and came home like they went on vacation themselves. Highly recommend Julia for dog sitting and over nights for anyones fur baby!”
“Nathan, Paula, and their adorable daughters did an awesome job watching our sweet pup! They were very communicative, brought her on lots of adventures, and took great care of her on very short notice. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Debborah was an amazing dog sitter to my fur baby Disco. I liked our communication and I liked receiving pictures of Disco. My dog enjoyed playing with all the dog toys that were available. I’m sure Disco enjoyed the companionship of Debborah’s sweet little dog “Snoop”. Thank you so much Debborah for Disco’s parting gift! You are very thoughtful and I really appreciate you taking care of Disco.”
“Sung was an amazing carer for my dog Pumpkin! He went above in beyond in playing with pumpkin and also took him to the beach on a beautiful sunny day. Highly recommended!! Thank you so much Sung!!!”

Repeat customer here !!! Shannon is great!!! She took great care of my fur baby. I can see that he feels comfortable and “at home” at her place. Shannon gives me updates with pictures of my baby often and is very responsive and flexible. She will be taking care of my baby again in a few months 👍 I highly recommend Shannon
Jeffrey was the best dog sitter we've had so far. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and it showed. He sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to any dog owner.
I won’t leave Charlotte with just anybody. As sweet as she is, she still needs a lot of attention and supervision. I appreciate Chris taking time getting to know Charlotte and allowing us time getting to know him. During Charlotte’s stay, Chris sent pictures and videos, and gave her lots of play time, which she needs. Chris seemed caring and knowledgeable, which gave me some peace of mind while she was in his care.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
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!
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 😂
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fountain Valley is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $87 per night.

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, 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.
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 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 , 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.
