“I'm happy to share my experience with Bennie and Jennie who took care of my baby Nori while I was away. Right from the start, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through. They took note of her routines, preferences, and her diet which showed me that they provided care that felt personalized and attentive. They also kept me updated daily with pictures/videos of Nori's activities. Each update was sent with a short note, highlighting her mood, changes in appetite, and the ways she was interacting. Moreover, they won over her trust and it was clear that Nori formed a bond with them and their adorable kitten, Kevin! For any cat owner looking for peace of mind, I can't recommend Bennie and Jennie enough!”
“Our two pups, Lola and BB, love Thavery! Thavery sends daily photo updates and takes the girls on fun walks. We trust her to administer all the necessary medication that our 14 year dog needs. One of our dogs hurt her leg recently, and Thavery was so accomodating to her needs.”
“Hanna & David were absolutely the best while babysitting my dog Loki. They sent me multiple pictures and I could tell that Loki was happy. Their dog Evan is also the nicest guy ever, and was super sweet and friendly to Loki. I would absolutely recommend them and I will book again with them in the future.”
“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!”
“Chungin was Fantastic! My dog loved her staying with Chungin. She sent a lot of photos of my dog to us and gave us updates so often. That made us feel so comfortable therefore we could enjoy our trip without worrying about our puppy. I could see that my dog was enjoying her time with Chungin and her dog Bomi. Chungin is awesome, I really appreciated her care and love to my puppy.”
“Eunice and her husband were absolutely amazing to my girl. This was my first time leaving my pitty to a sitter and I have zero regrets. She took note of all of my reminders for her and provided me updates throughout each day that I was gone. I felt at ease throughout my vacation because of Eunice’s consistent communication. She walked her multiple times throughout the day and let her onto their furniture. A million thank yous to Eunice and her husband.”
“Connie cares for my little senior spaniel, Zoe, like a member of her own family. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I have knowing that Zoe is in such good hands.”
“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”
“Great thoughtful sitter who took care of our dog for a week! The pictures and updates showed me that she was cared for with affection. Would definitely trust our dog with Doug again!”
“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!”
“I am so grateful to have Deborah to care for our dog, Banjo, when we pop out of town. (Thank you for accomodating our last minute request!) She and her husband, Ken, are so kind and trustworthy and they genuinely love the animals in their care. Their beautiful home is immaculate and well prepared for visiting pets. Great experience!”
“He lives in a great community with plenty of open spaces, parks, and trails. My dog looks very happy with him. He fed, walked, and played with my dog. He also sent me photos and videos how he took care of my dog. He is a dog lover and great carer.”
“Allison was wonderful! Franklin absolutely loved his stay with her and enjoyed playing with Moose. We were so happy to have constant updates and Franklin came back tired and happy.”
“Gracie was great from start to finish. She made sure our dogs got along prior to the boarding to eliminate any surprises. She updated us either their status periodically along with pictures. Will definitely use her again.”
“thank you Kiryl for taking such good care of my boy in a pinch! it was such short notice and he was able to watch my fur baby and send pictures multiple times a day! i will definitely bring my boy to Kiryl to help me in the future.”
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
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.
“This is the first time in over 10 years where we had to find someone to care for our dog while we went on vacation. I was worried about how she would do in a home and with people she didn’t know. However, Charlene and her family were amazing! She took the time to understand Fiona and what she needed. Fiona was very well taken care of and was taken on so many long walks, which she loves to do. I will be definitely be using Charlene again any time we travel and can’t take Fiona.”

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 $55.5 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 4,344 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.
94% 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.
