“My girl’s stay was amazing! I think they had a great time! They were greeted wonderfully and were able to relax and settle in and ended up having a great night. Madison sent pictures and made sure to update me along the way and was so friendly! I was nervous to leave them but I am so thankful I found such a wonderful place for them to go. Thank you!”
“We love Emily! Our cocker spaniel has stayed with her twice now and comes home happy and healthy. The last time we dropped her off, she could tell when we were getting closer to Emily's house and was getting so excited! She ran right inside without looking back and was excited to play. Leaving her with Emily brings us such peace and reassurance knowing she is in good hands. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our sweet fur baby! Thank you so much, Emily!”
“Charlie was great with Mr. Beans and he loved his stay there! He was also very patient with my pup and kept me updated throughout his stay. Mr. Beans can't wait to come back and play with his friends again!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Rhonda was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and made him feel right at home in her lovely, safe, and welcoming home. He had a great weekend with her, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. Rhonda was also very responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Rhonda for your pup and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
About: Dogs are and have always been an incredible source of joy for me. I have spent my entire life around dogs, both as a dog owner and as a dog sitter for extended family and friends. I have cared for dogs ranging in age from seven weeks to 22 years old, so I am comfortable with caring for dogs of any age. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around in and lots of love and laughter to share. I would love to provide a temporary home for your furry family members when you need it! I primarily work from home so I am free most of the day to keep a pup company. I live in a wonderful neighborhood for walking and exploring, and I love to take dogs out for long walks and new sniffs! Dogs are fully integrated into my home life as well; they have access to all of the comfy furniture that we humans enjoy. I love to cuddle and play and have plenty of room in the yard to throw a ball for them as well. Dogs are and have always been a part of my family. Because and I work mostly from home there is lots of playtime, cuddles and attention available for them throughout the day, as well as a fully fenced yard for the pups to run around in. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs with health issues so I am also comfortable administering medication as needed. My current dog, Alfredo, is a rescue, and I am familiar with the sensitivities that many rescue dogs have with respect to new environments. I know that every dog is an individual with its own personality, and I try to be sensitive to the specific needs of each dog that comes into my home. I have never crated my dogs; they have full access to my home, including furniture and beds.
“Erica was great! Treated Lucy like her own. Sent great updates and pictures that we loved. Nice to have the piece of mind when you can’t take your pet with you. Would highly recommend Erica.”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“Amber and the family made Cali feel like a member of the family. From the start the technique used to introduce her dogs To Cali was great. Received daily updates and photos. Already have a couple more stays booked.”
“This was my first time using Rover in addition to having someone I didn’t know watch my dog and I have to say I had a great experience. Makayla was a dream to find, she had great communication, sent me updates and photos and genuinely cared for my Baloo. I knew as soon as I met her Baloo was going to be in good hands and you can tell how much she loves animals. I will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend enough.”
“5 stars is not nearly enough! We are so excited to have found Dustin on rover. He and his wife are amazing and attentive sitters who made the whole process so easy! They have a great house and backyard with kind and considerate personalities to match. It was so much easier to go on vacation knowing our "high energy" furball would be well taken care of and loved. We found our new go-to dog sitters!”
“Tanaya was great! She was very welcoming to my Coco, and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Her other dogs were also very sweet and nice to Coco, and I believe Coco has new friends 🥰. Thank you so much for everything Tanaya! We will definitely return.”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Emma did an amazing job accommodating my dog's needs. He's not the best with strangers, but she took on his care for me while I traveled for a few days. She allowed me to do multiple meet and greets with her and my dog, as well as a half day of daycare leading up to the trip! She kept me posted about how his days went and was very open and honest about how he did, which I truly appreciated. Thank you so much Emma!”
“Carol did wonderful with Koni, we felt at ease our whole trip. She communicated with plus constantly and sent pictures of all of their fun adventures. Thank you for watching him!”
“Erika is super reliable, organized, and cares a lot about animals! She took care of Quincy well and gave us updates multiple times a day. Quincy tends to overheat pretty quickly, and we let Erika know this ahead of the 90 degree days and she went above and beyond making sure we knew he was cool, only went on walks early or late, etc. Q will be back!”
“Todd and Bill were very professional and passionate about my dogs. They have a great backyard, everything looked clean and organised. Pick up was super easy and quick- digs looked happy. Thank you again for taking care of my babies!”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”

This was our first time bringing our dog Benny to Madison and it was a fantastic experience. We appreciated the meet and greet prior since Benny can be a little much in the personality department, they answered all our questions and left us feeling nothing but sure it was the right fit for us. Benny spent his first weekend there and he did great, we received pictures and updates letting us know he was having a great time. Appreciate the knowledge and experience both Madison and Moses bring to taking care of our babies! Highly recommended and we will be sure to bring Benny back again and again!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my baby. He can be nervous in a new place and definitely needed some time to warm up. He was even a little nippy with her kids at first, and she was incredibly patient and understanding about it. She gave him time to get comfortable and before long he was cuddling with her, hanging out with the family, and making himself completely at home. She sent me so many pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. I could actually see how much more comfortable he was getting as the days went on. She took him on walks, gave him lots of attention, and really seemed to care about him rather than just having another dog staying at her house. I also didn’t leave quite enough food for the whole trip and she went out and got more for him, which I really appreciated. I was out of the country for two weeks and I’m pretty particular about who I trust with my baby. I never felt like I needed to worry about him with Jennifer. She really went above and beyond and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog. I would 100% use her again.
Dallas & Bri were so amazing to both me and my baby, Kojak! Given how nervous he is, they took time out of their days weeks prior to go on a small walk with us so he knew their smell and voices. They were so patient in waiting for him to open up and especially with me as the planned dates and times of sitting got wonky. It was my first time using Rover and I could not recommend them enough!
Angela is wonderful! She treats any dog in her care with love, gives attention, and supplies the dog owner with updates + photos. Our dogs almost don't want to leave because they are sooo happy. I highly highly recommend Angela for day care and boarding. It is such a relief to know that my dogs are loved and cared for while I'm out of town. I think she under charges, so I always give a nice tip:)
Rami was the sweetest to work with! Thank you so much rami for treating my baby with so much patience and love. I could see it in the videos and pics you were sending! I can’t wait to work with you again! I’ve never used this app before and I’m so grateful I got such a wonderful person for my first time :)
I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter! From the moment I left my dog, she treated her like family. My dog is like one of my kids, so I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. The daily photos showed my baby looking relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, which made it easy for me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Her dogs were friendly and immediately got along with mine, creating a calm and happy environment. This was especially helpful for my dog, who is an only dog at home. The entire experience was smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely reliable. Her communication was clear, and it’s evident that she has a real gift for understanding animals and making them feel safe. I would book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to stay in a home that truly pays attention and cares.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hillsdale is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $42 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Hillsdale 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 Hillsdale 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 Hillsdale.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hillsdale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Hillsdale 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
