“This was my first time using Rover, and Sant made the entire experience so easy and stress-free! Before boarding Lumo for 10 days, we had an initial meet-and-greet where Sant walked me through where Lumo would be staying, playing, and spending his time. Being able to see the environment beforehand gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel comfortable leaving Lumo in Sant’s care. Throughout the stay, Sant consistently sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions, knowing Sant was equally proactive in keeping me updated. Since this was Lumo’s first time staying with Sant, communication was especially important in making the experience a success, and Sant absolutely delivered. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! I’m so grateful to have found Sant and plan to continue using him as my go-to boarding sitter for Lumo. I highly recommend Sant to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring person to look after their dog!”
“I highly recommend Paula! ❤️ She took such wonderful care of my dog and treated him with so much love, patience, and attention. I felt comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She was caring, responsible, and attentive to his needs. I’m so grateful for the amazing care she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with my dog again. Highly recommended!”
“Lauren was excellent, accommodating and so caring with my reactive foster dog. I loved getting regular updates and could see how happy and safe Daisy was with her. I’d definitely board with her again!”
“My dog Kona loved staying at Chris’ while I was away for a couple days! Chris is a very kind and flexible dog sitter! Before Kona’s stay, he organized a time to meet so that she could become familiar with his 3 sweet dogs. He kept open communication throughout Kona’s stay and walked her each day! I am very thankful and for his care for my dog and hope to book with him again next time Kona is in need of boarding! I highly recommend Chris when considering having your dog watched through Rover. My experience was impressive and worry free!”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Nadia and Liam are great communicators, we felt connected to or pup the whole time we were away. We feel extremely comfortable leaving him with them. This is the second time we have left our dog with them and we definitely will do so again.”

“Ashish was amazing ! Very Punctual, Consistent updates about your pet, and lots of pictures. I typically get very anxious leaving my pup somewhere while I’m out of town, but Ashish took the stress away. Definitely going to be a repeat customer!”

“Tamiko was an awesome sitter for our dog Benny. Benny has stayed with her twice and both times she has been super attentive and extremely responsive. She gave us multiple updates everyday and we could tell how happy benny was. She really has a love of dogs, would highly recommend.”
“We feel grateful to have found Lucia! She is so kind, caring, and attentive, and our dog Freddie clearly feels at home with Lucia and her family. It means a lot to us to see Freddie so happy and well cared for. Lucia is also very professional, and the level of communication during Freddie's stay was great. Lucia and Cham provided several updates (and cute photos), which helped us feel extra comfortable that he was having a great first stay. We expect that there will be many more stays to come!”
“This was our dogs first stay with Aiko and Dennis. They were friendly and great at sending updates. Our dog is older, so we were grateful knowing she was well taken care of in a relaxing home setting. We would happily book with them again. Thanks!!”
“Alex was able to watch Margaret over an extended period of time, covering the holidays, which we really appreciated as we had an international trip booked. We did not have to stress about Margaret during that time because Margaret was so well taken care of. In fact, she was sad when Alex dropped her off! During her stay with Alex, Margaret got lots of activity, leading to lots of (cute) and well-deserved naps and cuddles. Margaret says: Alex is the best!”
“Patrick was an amazing host for our dog, Scooby. He put me at ease in our pre-host meet up by walking me through his approach and showing me his beautiful backyard and wonderful dog. During Scooby’s stay I received daily pictures and texts to reassure me the Scooby was having a great time. We drove 40 mins to have Patrick host Scooby and It was definitely worth the commute.”

Paula was absolutely amazing! Communication was easy from start to finish, she was incredibly flexible, and it’s clear she genuinely loves the pups she cares for. She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. 100% recommend Paula to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like their own. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾🤎
We have had multiple great experiences with Tamiko. She is very responsive, gives multiple updates during the sitting and you can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. Our dog always looks to have an amazing time while there and is completely tuckered out when he’s back. She’s the best sitter on Rover we’ve used and will continue to use whenever available.
Kolten and Julia were great pet sitters for our mini schnauzer, Luna! They cared for her as if she were their own dog. They made her feel right at home from the very first moment! They kept us updated on her activities the whole time we were away. We would definitely book future adventures with them!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Martinez is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $70 per night.

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.
93% of sitters in Martinez 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 Martinez 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 Martinez.
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 Martinez 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.
