“This girl is awesome 👏🏽 She’s kind, knowledgeable, & the best dog whisperer;). Her pup Bowie is so cool too & loves to play; he’s such a smart boy and well behaved & I believe he genuinely loves to host other pups at his home as much as Nicole does! Extra tip too, Bowie is also excellent with cats 🐈 Highly recommended!”
“This was Rosie’s first time being boarded and she seemed very happy. Kelsey’s family was so good to her and I loved getting pictures of her, I have already booked another stay and now know I can plan some trips and leave Rosie in a loving home!”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Irvine and Susan took great care of my fur baby. Great home and yard for my Yorkie. Kept me updated and flexible when we were delayed coming back. Would recommend to friends and family.”
“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”
“Destiny took care of our senior dog, Jasmine, for our 3 week vacation. She was so good to give us regular updates, send pictures and reach out with any concerns about Jasmine. Jasmine came home happy and well taken care of. Given that Jasmine has special needs with medication injections we are so thankful that Destiny can handle these issues like a pro.”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”
“Melissa was very patient and flexible with my dog and with our booking. I had to shorten the time which she was understandable about. I also learned my dog was a bit out of sorts on his first night and she was patient with him and sent lots of reassuring pictures and videos😊”
“Wen is amazing caretaker. I felt happy and at ease with having my cats with her. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, well fed and happy in their stay. Definitely getting her again in the future. Recommend to any pet parent.”
“Grisel was amazing! It was Bran’s first time being boarded through Rover so we had our initial worries about how he would do. Grisel’s updates and photos of him were something that we looked forward to everyday, she sent so many updates on his playing, feeding and walking time and was very understanding of his occasional shyness. We will definitely be booking her services again the next time we are out of town! I am so happy and relieved that we made a good choice for our first rover experience.”
“Jackie made our first stay with her so seamless and easy ! From the Meet-And-Greet to the week long vacay, our doggies were so ecstatic to meet her and already were so comforted by her. While we were gone, Jackie kept us updated with lots of photos and positive reassurance that our dogs were cared for and well taken care of! We are already booking her for our next trip (and many more!)”
“Doh is excellent with the pups. She’s patient and kind and provided many pics and updates throughout my vacation. My dog seemed to really like her and my family did as well! Highly recommend!”
“My Australian Shepherds have stayed with Grant numerous times over the past several years. The dogs love to run and play on Grant's beautiful property. Grant is an excellent communicator and provides regular updates on the pups throughout their stay. I highly recommend Grant to care for your dog.”
“Martha made my dog feel super comfortable and at home. She also provided me with daily updates while I was out of the country, multiple times a day. I was very pleased and comfortable that my dog was in her care. Will definitely reach out to her the next time I go on vacation. She is the best sitter my dog has ever had!”
“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”
“This is the second time we used Erin, and once again nothing but the best care! My pups were comfortable, and we love the updates with lots of pictures! Highly recommend Erin to anyone”
“Andrew and his family were great with our very anxious doodle. It was reassuring to get updates and photos of our dog while he was watching him. We will be rebooking again in the near future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Nicolaus on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,491 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Nicolaus. 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 Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus.
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 Nicolaus 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.
