“Beau had an amazing time at Annie’s! Annie was very accommodating and sent updates multiple times a day which we really appreciate. Her level of professionalism is indicative of the fact that she is a business owner. Additionally, she sent Beau home with a goodie bag! I definitely recommend and Beau will be back :).”

We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”

“Highly recommending Florence! It was Yuki's first time boarding over the weekend, she's unsocialized but super loveable. She was having an abundance of fun with the other dogs, playdates and walks. Florence sent me a ton of pictures and updates throughout the day so I wasn't ever really worried. The training is also a plus! Yuki was able to learn alot from Florence. She was really loves animals and it definitely shows. I'm sure Yuki is already looking forward to her future stay.”

“Qiana is a blessing. Our 2 dogs have never been away from home. We were gone for 7 days. 1 dog is 1.5 years old and the other one is 8 years old. We received daily up dates with video and photos. The dogs were happy and playing in the videos and photos. Qiana made us feel secure with our dogs in her care. We will be rebooking.💞 Thank you.”

“This was my first time leaving Neffi with a sitter and first experience with Rover.com. Irina provided a clean environment and safe yard for Neffi to play. I would like to thank Irina for her excellent communication, photos, and professionalism. Irina did a great job following Neffi's sleep and feeding schedule, so that there was no break in schedule when Neffi returned home. Irina definitely made my first experience a great experience. I would refer her to friends and family! Thank you, Shalanda”

“Kenia was awesome with Benito and a great communication she would answer all of my questions and responses a few times my daughter would message to check up on him and she would quickly respond with updates. I was worried how my dog would act being his first time away but Kenia made me feel more at ease when leaving him. Kenia sent updates photos and videos he looked so happy and well taken care off. We were worried he wouldn't want to come home. Im glad a i made the right choice and if I ever have to leave Benito I would definitely have Kenia watch him again. If there were more stars she deserves them .. Thank you again Kenia.”

You can tell she loves dogs and my dog loves her and her husband, even when my husband came to pick him up he went to lie next to Ernie! We plan to use her regularly when we need her service should her schedule allow. Thanks for watching him on short notice!”

She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”

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!

Celeste and her family were exceptional. I appreciate how she cared for Batman and loved him, and the kids were very kind and sweet to him. Their house is very beautiful and well cared for, a perfect place for a small pup like my doggo. I highly recommend her.

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 Dog Boarding - Herald

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Herald on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $71 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,658 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 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 Herald 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 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.

<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 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.
