“Emily was such a great pet sitter for my dog! She sent me updates with photos/vids daily which definitely eased my worries of leaving my senior dog with someone. I knew she was in great hands. Emily was also great at making sure Cleo had her daily walks and her regular schedule. She is a true gem and I'm so glad I found her (also in such close proximity) and would highly recommend her and use her for a future stay! :) thanks again Emily!”
“Beverly is wonderful! She took care of our elderly dog Coco who is blind for 2 weeks. Coco felt right at home with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again if Coco needs someone to take care of him for a few days. Thanks again Beverly!”
“Shar was amazing per usually despite my Prada misbehaved on a day. Shar was patient with Prada and explained to me what Prada can benefit from when she starts dog training, to make her overall a more polite dog around other dogs. I will definitely book with Shar and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter, as I trust her with my Prada care while I’m away. Thank you Shar!!!”
“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“As pet parents, leaving our furry family member behind while we vacation is never easy. However, John and his Wife are remarkable Rover sitter, transformed our anxiety into reassurance through there exceptional care for our dog Bailey and communication. Our experience was nothing short of perfect”
“Kyle was above and beyond! My husband and I were a litter nervous leaving our little guy, but Kyle made sure we felt very comfortable! Our dog was very happy and well taken care of. Would definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Annie was awesome with our Mr. Mushnik. She was patient and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable in her home. I also loved that she communicated throughout his stay and helped ease any worry. Highly recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Alice did amazing taking care of Luna. She communicated with me while she dog sat. Luna was comfortable enough that she was able to eat all her food. She had fun with Alice’s dog. Will book again. 5/5 recommend!”
“Vanessa took care of my dog, Bambi while I was away for my business trip. She sent me photos and told me how Bambi was doing throughout my trip. Knowing my dog was in good hands made my business trip success and I highly recommend Vanessa’s service.”
“Sherry and her husband Andreas took such good care of my baby. He was a little anxious the first night but they were so patient with him. I will definitely use them again. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“Noreen is very responsive and caring. Roxy felt comfortable in her home and got along with her cute pups. Roxy enjoyed her week with Noreen. I was happy to find a place that was safe for Roxy while we were away.”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”
“My sweet Coco needed boarding and Tian was such an amazing host for her! He was so communicative and sent me pictures and videos throughout the night and day until pick up time, and he was very responsive to my texts, which made me feel at ease and I loved getting updates on Coco’s day. Tian is absolutely someone I would recommend, and will definitely be my go-to going forward! 😊”

Kerstin provided our dog Luna with great care and attention. We got daily updates from her on how Luna was doing and it was clear that she provided a safe environment that Luna could be calm in. Luna was happy and healthy when we picked her up, and we couldn't ask for more.
Wyatt was absolutely fantastic with our Labrador Retriever while we were away for over two weeks. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with him, which gave us a lot of confidence. Throughout our trip, Wyatt sent regular updates with photos, which was incredibly reassuring. It was obvious our dog was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. Wyatt took him on walks, gave him plenty of attention, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with him. It’s clear that Wyatt truly loves dogs, and that showed in the care he provided. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Wyatt with our dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Jason was an amazing sitter. He took such great care of our dog Penny while we were out of town for a few days. He was flexible, communicative, and very understanding of all our needs! Penny came back a happy girl, and we could tell she was taken care of very well. We would be excited to book with Jason again!
Alice is the absolute BEST sitter you will ever find!! We were gone on an extended trip and she loved on our two pugs more than we could have ever dreamed! She thoughtfully sent us videos and updates daily. Our babies were walked, fed, brushed, and most importantly, constantly showered in love! We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our dogs were in the absolute best care possible! If you are considering Alice, consider it an honor if she agrees to take in your dogs. She is a true animal lover and truly an exceptional person!! Thank you, Alice!!
Shardae was absolutely wonderful with Tabasco. This was a very last-minute booking, and she kindly made time for a meet and greet the evening before, which gave us great peace of mind before leaving. We arrived back late from the East Coast, and she was incredibly accommodating in dropping Tabasco home the following morning, which was such a thoughtful gesture and greatly appreciated. Most importantly, Tabasco came home happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for. It was obvious he had enjoyed his time with Shardae, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Thank you again for your flexibility, kindness and excellent care. We would happily book with Shardae again and highly recommend her to other pet parents.
This was my first time boarding my little old fella. The experience with Jasmine couldn’t have been any better. She was nice, friendly and communicative through my Gizmo’s stay. I received regular updates and photos. Jasemine took great care of my little guy and I strongly recommend her!!! Thank you, Jasmine!
Diana was great! Our dog really loved her! We got many updates with pictures during our trip. I never worried about her once because I knew Diana was taking good care of her. Our dog is a senior with a bad back too and she was very careful to make sure she didn’t injure it. Thanks Diana!
It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!
Mary was great and she was amazing to my dog. I would highly recommend her as she gave regular updates, asked the important questions to how you would like your dog to be treated, and she was great to work with. I would happily have her watch my dog again, and she is an amazing sitter. Echo loved being with her the whole long weekend and he would love to come back!!
Edwin and Jenn are amazing! They were so patient with our dog, Bailey, and incredibly easy to communicate with. They were open to doing a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped us feel confident that Bailey would be in great hands. This was our first time leaving Bailey with anyone outside of family for more than a couple of days, and we genuinely never had to worry while we were traveling. They kept us at ease and updated the entire time. They were also very accommodating and flexible with both pick-up and drop-off. On top of that, their pups are so sweet and super friendly. We highly recommend them!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gardena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gardena on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 10,061 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gardena. 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.
94% of Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena.
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 Gardena 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.
