What a wonderful and caring boarding experience! I could tell that she truly cared for my dog and shared many sweet anecdotes during my pet’s stay at her house. I know she was in good and loving hands. I will definitely use this sitter again if needed!

Once again, Cody enjoyed his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him! Wenxin and Cham sent regular updates and made sure our dog felt at home. Appreciate that they take him to the dog park and give him lots of treats and cuddles.

Gabi was well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of play time in the backyard. I love that Gabi got lots and lots of attention given Kushram being retired. My only gripe would be that I would have liked more updates, but that's only because it was the first time I left my pup with someone else. However, when I would reach out Kushram would get back to me within the hour... I will book with them again.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 10-year-old Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix which lived with us since he was 2-month-old. So I am experienced with dogs at all ages. I’ve cared for many smalls to medium size dogs over the years and understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I have a clean, well-kept and very large, fenced yard and offer a calm, clean, and safe home with plenty of attention and gentle play. I enjoy hosting small to medium-sized dogs and treat every pup like part of the family. What is my drive? I host dogs, because I want a companion for my doggy, I enjoy spending time with dogs, and I am home every day of the week. I am available for boarding seven days a week and maintain a flexible schedule. I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, care, and attention. I can often accommodate bookings on short notice and work with your schedule to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up experience. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment for all dogs. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely, along with a doggy door for easy outdoor access when appropriate. I only have one small, friendly dog at home, and I carefully introduce pets to ensure comfort and compatibility. Your dog will be supervised, cared for attentively, and treated like part of the family.

We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.

We enjoyed meeting this sweet family. Our dog seemed well adjusted at their home and was happy to see us when we got back. They were careful to stick to our dog’s diet (allergy) and provided plenty of exercise & opportunities for play. Nathaniel sent photos & updates while we were away. We would schedule with them again.

Kaja gave me such peace of mind while I was away, knowing my pets would be loved and cared for the whole time. When I did come home, the dogs were very happy and showed absolutely no signs of stress. She shared updates, pictures, and was incredibly fun and easy to work with! Kaja took care of my house too, which was a huge help, and she did a fantastic job.

I'm just so pleased that my pup has somewhere he can feel safe at when he's not with us. He has some separation anxiety and prefers to stay with someone if we have to be gone for a few hours. We've been working with Zoe periodically over the last year, and after a handful of doggy day cares and boarding for just a night or two at a time he's comfortable enough to eat over there when he stays even for a few hours. Thanks Zoe!!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hercules

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hercules on Rover is $53.28 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 5,370 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hercules. 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 Hercules 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 Hercules 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 Hercules 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 Hercules.

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 Hercules 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.
