“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”
“. Zhuoya took care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. She was very responsive and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing. I loved the daily report cards. Will definitely recommend”
“Fiona had a wonderful time. I received pictures and updates throughout the visit. Sabrina is an awesome dog host. We will be boarding Fiona again with her in the future and we are extremely satisfied with the level of service we received.”
“Zumi had his first Rover stay with Briana while we were away. He seemed really happy and had a great time. Thank you very much Briana for loving our favorite family member!”
“Qiana was awesome! She sent multiple videos and pictures everyday with great communication. Dexter seemed to be safe and had a great time with her. She also gave a very nice gift when I picked him up!”
“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. 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.”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“We were a little nervous leaving our puppy, but Alexis made us feel completely comfortable. She took such great care of Nala and was incredibly attentive—especially outside, making sure she didn’t put anything in her mouth. That meant a lot to us. The updates and photos were great, and Nala came back happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Alexis again!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job of taking care of my pup. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family, however Alexandra treated Elsa just like family. She sent daily pictures and Elsa had a wonderful time getting to vacation and meet new friends. We are very grateful for her care and will be back ☺️”
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and me and my partner, Brandon, are home everyday. This gives us plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine.
“Minhhan has been wonderful with our senior Shih Tzu. Delilah has lots of anxiety and it takes time for her to feel comfortable around new people. Minhhan has been very patient with Delilah and Delilah has become very fond of Minhhan. We have already set it up another boarding appointment with her. You can definitely tell she is an animal lover and Delilah and our family are so happy to have found Minhhan.”
“Greta had a great time staying with Brandee. Brandee is always so sweet and prompt to respond. I loved the photos and video she sent for Mother's Day. It is reassuring to know that Greta is in good hands when we are away.”
“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”
“Can't recommend Khyli enough! Highly communicative throughout the process and sent photos and updates over the three days he was with her at her home. Our dog had separation anxiety and she was patient with him (which says a lot because I know what his whining sounds like and his pacing looks like!) and figured out what settled him. We were able to relax while we were out of town and he came home a happy boy.”
“Wendy made my boys and me comfortable during their stay with her. I never had any concerns and she sent me a pic and vid during their stay. They looked super comfortable and even made a new friend in her own fur baby! Wonton is tuckered out from playing! Thank you again Wendy!”
“Tesia was great with Sadie! She is usually scared with strangers but took to her immediately. She sent us updates of photos and videos so we knew our girl was ok. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover, and honestly, I’ve never known life without a dog by my side! I currently have a sweet older Chihuahua who keeps me company at home. I know how much our dogs mean to us—they’re family! I love giving dogs plenty of attention, belly rubs, walks, playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles. I’m also very comfortable with senior pups and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. When your pup is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with patience, love, and plenty of attention. I’d love to get to know your furry family member and help them feel happy, comfortable, and right at home! ❤️🐶 I do work full time and have a hybrid schedule. My job is flexible on what days I go into the office. This will ensure your doggie will not be left alone for long periods of time if I happen to be at the office. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can roam freely. We do have a pool but it has a safety fence around it so the dogs are not allowed in that section of the yard unattended. We also have a doggie door if your pup is small enough to use that for easier access to outside.
“Valerie was amazing with Whiskey! She took such great care of him and kept us updated with photos and videos all weekend, which really put us at ease. It was clear Whiskey was happy, well cared for, and enjoying his time with her. She took him on walks and gave him lots of love and attention. We’re so grateful to have found someone so caring and reliable. We’ll definitely be booking with Valerie again!”
“This was our dog’s third stay with Serena and it was for three weeks while we were out of the country. We have complete confidence in Serena’s competent and loving care. She provided daily pictures and updates. Our dog was walked daily and special attention was paid on New Year’s Eve when our pup was fearful of fireworks. Serena goes the extra mile to provide top notch care. Her love for dogs shows in the care she provides.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Herald is $55
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herald
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Herald is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $71 per night. On Rover, 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 1,648 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.
95% 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, 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 , 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.
