“Great sitter for my two littles. Very attentive and responsive. My fur kids were happy and well cared for. I received frequent updates, photos, and video. I would definitely recommend Abigail and will use her again!”
“We used Rover to board our senior dog for a couple of days and was very happy. Easy booking, great communication, and daily photo updates from our sitter. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and came home in great shape. Much better than a traditional kennel — he got plenty of attention and in a real home. Highly recommend!”
“Kara did a great job keeping me informed and doing slow introductions for my challenging 1 year old male. It was his first time in a multi dog setting rather than in home and she handled all of his behavior quirks really well!”
“Megan was kind, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and really took the time to get to know our dog. Her consistent communication was very comforting, and she quickly built our trust with how attentive and caring she was. We will absolutely be using Megan again.”
“She did amazing, very accommodating, willing to work around my schedule and willing to send us photos of how our dog was doing. I had no worries over my dog and was happy to see him enjoying himself.”
“If I could give Michelle 10 stars I would. She’s very friendly, kind, professional and good at what she does. My Dog, Luna, is very energetic but that was no problems for Michelle. I would definitely recommend Michelle, Luna will be returning soon!”
“Jennifer was awesome! I was so nervous booking a sitter for my puppy for the first time and Im so glad I chose Jennifer. She kept me updated the whole time, and after seeing the photos,my pup looked so happy and comfortable with her. Will for sure book again next time when I'm looking for a sitter to watch my lil monster.”
“Jassleen was a very attentive and engaged sitter for our two pooches. She provided ongoing updates, photos, and videos. She even provided our dogs her homemade doggie treats. We will definitely call Jassleen next time we go out of town.”
About: Animals are my thing. I have dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and sheep, many who are rescues, and I love them all. I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child and thought about becoming a vet, but I became a teacher instead. I am off work for the summer and many of my weekends are free now that my children are all teens and above. I am located conveniently near the 145 and highway 41 in the Madera Ranchos. On your way to Yosemite? Going to have some family time in Fresno? I’ll take care of your pet for you. Your dog will join the pack for its stay and relax or play on the 2 acres of fenced in land. I’m a teacher so I have open availability in the summer and on most weekends. I can check in on your pets in the afternoons or evenings when I’m working. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard. I also offer the dogs time to cool off in the pool and a large house to hang out in. If you want me to drop in on your pets at your home in the afternoons and weekends, I can do that too.
“Amy boarded my two dogs for a week. She is an excellent sitter. She provided several updates and pictures each day, took the dogs on evening walks and made sure that they were comfortable in a new environment. The dogs also got along well with her dog Bingo. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely rebook with Amy. She is an amazing sitter.”
“Corina was exceptional taking care of our little dog. She kept us up to date with pics and small videos, that gave us the peace of mind to know our dog was well taken care off and enjoy our trip. She was very accommodating while dropping and picking up, she also asked about any alergies, diet restrictions and any other info she might need. At first, our dog was a bit aggressive, but later on she was roaming as if she owned the house, that will tell you that she was being pampered with lots of attention. We will definitely use Corina again when needed.”
“Bob was friendly, direct, and quick to respond. I believe that my old girl was in good hands with him. It was like a little vacation for her and I know she had a great time there.”
“We’ve left our dog, Piper, with Eric a couple of times now and she loves it! He’s great with updates and pics and takes very good care of her. We’re completely at ease about where she’s staying and the care she’s receiving when we’re gone.”
“This was our second time with Scott, our furry baby loves him so much!! Scott takes such good care of him!! Excellent job, will continue to use his services again!! Thank you so much”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. From caring for my own, I found my love for taking care of others, and I branched out into petsitting, housesitting, and the feeding and care of all types, big and small. I’m available for your pets. I have no other working engagements at this time. I can do holidays, and cover your travel needs, and I’m available on any day of the week. I have a fenced in yard, and there is currently a very sociable cat in the house. Crates can be used only when/if when necessary. I provide fresh water, a cozy bed, and anything per their schedule. I will treat them like they are my own: I can play with them, give them lots of love, send photos back to you, and make them feel at home.
“Kendra was great in taking care of my dog. She sent updates which made me feel safe knowing my dog was in good hands. She was very sweet and caring of my dog and I would recommend her to anyone looking to feel at peace knowing they left their dog with a genuinely good person.”

Our usual sitter was unavailable & we trusted Abigail with our dog. It was our first time with her so we did a meet and greet. Abigail provided plenty of updates throughout the day without me having to ask. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Abigail again, she was very sweet & caring.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Madera is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $69 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.

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 Madera 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 Madera 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 Madera.
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 Madera 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.
