“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”

She asked a lot of good questions beforehand, provided updates during their stay, and was very friendly and gracious. Would highly recommend Darlene and she will be our go to for next time.”

About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. I have a fenced yard and two doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed

“Carol took wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Haley, while I was away. Haley stayed in Carol’s home, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Carol provided regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. When I picked Haley up, she was relaxed and content. Carol is kind and reliable, I would absolutely trust her with Haley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“If you have a small friendly dog or dogs, book with Mike as soon as possible. He and his wife are simply the most kind and good people. My mom super appreciated them taking care of her two elder rescue dogs who have a lot of fear of people, loud noises, being alone. Our pups got a lot of walking and even ate at Mike's house, which they usually don't do in a new place. Highly recommend them if you want to know your furry fam is safe and happy while youre away.”

“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”

About: Patience is a quality of mine I have shown while caring for pets for the last 6 years. I respond very well in potentially stressful situations. I am currently working a Tuesday through Saturday full time schedule, so I can fit pet care into my weekly routine on Sundays and Mondays. My apartment is pet friendly and has an easily accessible walking trail in my backyard. I follow instructions well and can communicate with pet owners as much as they want.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gonzales on Rover is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gonzales. 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.

94% of sitters in Gonzales 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 Gonzales 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 Gonzales.

<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 Gonzales 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.
