“Bennie and Jennie were amazing in taking care of my 2 cats, Yoshi and Bubbles. They were great in sending updates, photos and videos that reassured me. So grateful that they made my cats comfortable in their home. I would definitely rebook with them when I need trustworthy sitters to take care of cats.”
“Thavery always takes good care of our Hazel! She sends us updates, pictures and videos. We appreciate her watching her this memorial weekend. Will always ask her again as long as she's available”
“Im so glad we found them. They took such good care of our Lola. Sent us alot of updates of her. And in the pictures i could see that she was really enjoying herself. When we come again to California we will definitely keep them in mind.”
“Great experience! The sitter was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her service and will definitely book again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Chungin. She sent multiple pictures every day and was genuinely concerned about Bailey's well-being. I could tell Bailey had a great time because she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. :)”
“Grace is an amazing pet mom. She treated Ollie so well he was a bit disappointed I picked him up. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about their activities. He had a few outings and was well exercised by the time I got him. Grace was also very accommodating when my work event ran over and I picked up Ollie a few hours later than expected”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“We had such a great experience with Gracie! From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and clearly love animals. She took amazing care of my dog River, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure my pup felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the attention to detail and how she followed all instructions perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“Mocha had a great time with Patricia. She sent us pictures everyday and extended his stay for one more night at the last minute when our flight was delayed. We've booked another stay with Patricia already”
“Deborah was the best person we could’ve found to take care of our dog Chelsea. She was very nice and caring towards her, al her experience fostering dogs really showed up. Normally Chelsea doesn’t open up to strangers but she was very happy and confident with Deborah. Everyday we received picture or video updates she looked like she was having the best time. I would 100% recommend Deborah if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your fur baby. ❤️”
“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”
“Laura took amazing care of my dog Riggins. He was with her for just one night but in that time he had so many adventures and came home to me happy and exhausted. Laura also kept me updated with videos and photos throughout the stay which I much appreciate as a nervous dog mom!”
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“Tina sent us updates of Sparky (our dog) multiple times a day and was very communicative and easy to work with. Our dog got to socialize with other dogs and walk outside throughout the day and loved his time at Tina's. We would love to have him stay here again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irvine
Doug and his fiance took amazing care of our big, energetic lab. Daily Photo updates showed our pup had a great time free-roaming the quarters and truly enjoying himself. Thank you Doug and Candace for making sure Beanz was safe and able to enjoy/decompress while away from us/his home. Will most definitely book Doug again for Beanz’s care :)
We took Teddy, our 14 month old Shepherd-mix rescue, to stay with Natalie during our trip to Newport Coast. It was an amazing experience for us all, as Natalie took great care of Teddy with plenty of walks at the park right next to her house! She provided morning and evening updates with plenty of photos as well, and was most accommodating as we “borrowed Teddy” for some daily family fun! Most importantly, as new pet owners, we were comforted in seeing how much Teddy loves Natalie, leaping through her front door upon return from our six day trips. We look forward to using Rover to hopefully have Natalie watch Teddy again next summer! ☺️
Kelli has been such an amazing sitter for my senior and anxious dog Beaux! This last trip brought a lot of anxiety for us being across the country for 9 days but the relationship Kelli has made with him along with videos and multiple pictures daily helped relieve the anxiety and know he was in safe hands!
We had a wonderful experience! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy looked like he was having an absolute blast and came home happily exhausted from all the fun. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed spending time with them and Evan. We would absolutely book with them again in the future. Thank you both (and thank you, Evan!) for taking such great care of our pup!
Kona had a fantastic time with Ryan, Marianna, and Remy - she was completely spoiled. We had many photo updates daily over our trip and could tell she was enjoying her stay. She loved playing with Remy and got outside for a lot of walks. She can’t wait to go back for another visit!
Connie earned my trust years ago. I have left my dog Yolanda with her probably 15 times. Connie seems to be super sensitive to the feelings of my dog, as shown over and over in the photos of Yolanda that she has sent daily during all of my dog's stays with her. Yolanda is not well and takes roughly 10 pills each day so I need to have someone who I can rely on during the times when I am away and that person is Connie. I don't take a trip unless I know Yolanda can stay with Connie.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Irvine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Irvine on Rover is $55.83 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Irvine. 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.
95% of Irvine 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 Irvine 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 Irvine 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 Irvine.
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 Irvine 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.
