We boarded our two dogs for the first time with Carrie and her family for an overnight stay. My husband and I could tell right away that they were going to be in great hands. I appreciated the quick responses and the update on how they were doing. We would definitely utilize this amazing family again and feel safe and reassured doing so. Sincerely, The Navarrete Family

We were extremely happy with Irina and can truly recommend her without any hesitation. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Throughout our time away, she sent us regular updates, messages, and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Irina is incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and you can truly tell that she loves what she does and cares deeply about the dogs she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our dogs again anytime. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of them! 🐶❤️

Marley was made part of Sabrina’s family! They welcomed him in like he was one of their own. Picture and video updates made us feel comfortable the whole time away from our fur baby and he came back happy and comfortable. I 100% will be using Sabrina in the future.

Highly recommended Achara for your fur babies. She took our dog tucker on short notice so that I could go back home for the holidays. Tucker can be very timid when meeting new people, but he adjusted well and they treated him as their own. I was provided with daily updates and pictures of how he was doing. He came home happy and tired from playing so much! Thanks again, Achara!

Doggy Disneyland with Denise was a dream for my puppy. My yorkie, Aston has a lot of puppy energy, he enjoyed playtime with the other dogs, and appeared to really have enjoyed this time from the videos & photos denise to the initiative to share. Very happy guy when i picked him up. overall we are likely to return in the future & highly recommend.

I really appreciated how often she checked in and kept us updated—it gave us so much peace of mind. Our pup had the best time with her, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust! Already confirmed for next weekend.

Celeste and her family were wonderful care givers. Their home was a nice environment with a nice fenced yard and plenty of room to explore and play for our dog. She was attentive and was careful to follow through on our dog's needs. We received updates and pictures during his stay. There were 3 kids in the family that were sooo excited to have a dog visit! They have my dog lots of extra love and attention. The white family was very friendly and kind. I would definitely highly recommend them as pet sitters and I'm sure my dog would love to visit them again!

Arnesha is amazing! From the very first meet and greet, she made everything so easy for Charlie and helped her feel comfortable right away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Charlie connected with her so quickly. During the stay, I loved receiving the daily updates with photos and videos. Charlie always looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. You can tell Arnesha truly cares, and Charlie absolutely adores her. We feel so lucky to have found her! Thank you so much again, Arnesha! Until next time!!!

Second trip for our KC and she was so excited to see Arnesha! They were also super flexible with my travel due to a delay with a flight our KC had to stay an extra day and Arnesha was so accommodating. Needless to say, our KC is excited for her next vacation!

FAQs for Boarding - Herald

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Herald on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,647 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Herald. 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.

93% of Herald 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 Herald 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 Herald 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 Herald.

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 Herald 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.
