“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“My 2-year old pup had his first stay away from home with Nicole and he had a great time. Received nightly updates on how he was doing. Would absolutely book with Nicole again.”
“Jenna was so great to work with! My normal sitter had to cancel last minute before a week long trip and I was so nervous trying to find someone new, especially over 4th of July. Jenna was sweet and communication was quick and easy. She sent me photos every day and gave my little guy lots of love. She even administered ear drops for an ear infection my dog had just been diagnosed with. Everything was wonderful and absolutely would recommend her.”
“Nicole took great care of our MJ. He was recovering from seizures so he was not himself. She showed him so much love and made sure he was very comfortable. Dare I say, she may have spoiled him more than we do! She was very responsive and overall just very kind. We did not worry about him at all while on vacay. I would definitely book her again!”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“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!”
“Serena was so great with our dogs! She took amazing care of our high energy lab and our recently adopted rescue who is still warming up to new people. We appreciated having a meet and greet with her and Wes. We left our dogs overnight for a test run before we go on vacation. She took lots of pictures and was very communicative. We booked her for our future vacations and are confident our pups will be well taken care of and have a great time.”
“Tammy is a great sitter. She took care of my two dogs( one was a 4 month old puppy) they both were great under her care. Tammy even helped me get on the Rover app as I was having trouble booking her during meet and greet. I would love to drop my doggies to Tammy anytime!!”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I’ve cared & house sat dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, fish you name it! Big & small for friends & family for many years! I love the outdoors and taking dogs on a walk or run. I’m very active and can provide daily exercise if needed. I have experience with caring for both young & senior dogs. My dog, Nevie, who was a Pitbull, unfortunately was diagnosed with Lymphoma at the age of 12 and passed this past year at 13. She was a fighter, a cuddler, and the most sweetest loving girl. My fiancé adopted her when she was 6 from the pound. Due to her medical needs she required, I have learned how to administer medications if needed. I can bathe animals as well. I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own❤️ My work is very flexible with working from home. I work locally around the Sacramento area. I work from home mostly, but I do work in construction so I stop by to job sites from time to time. This allows me to be available for your pet throughout the day! Your pet will not go without attention, food or water! If you need me to board, do doggy day care, walk, play, run, or stay over with your furry family member. Whatever you need, I’m your gal! I will make sure to pay attention to your pets’ needs and not to leave them unattended. I will engage with them so they are not alone a long time. I will make sure they get their food on time. Water is full at all times. Take them out to the bathroom often. Make sure to keep a clean & hygienic environment for them. I will watch & care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Lydia was amazing! Her house was set up perfectly for big dogs. I have a 9 month Cane Corso who is 100lbs and it’s always been difficult to find someone who is comfortable with large working breeds. Lydia’s experience with large dogs put my mind at ease immediately. I told her “if you can handle a pack of Saint Bernards then I have no fear with you and Zeus!” If your looking for an experienced dog owner with a wealth of knowledge than Lydia is your person!!!”
“Tracey was AMAZING with my fur babies! My two pups are a little wild when they are together but are inseparable. Tracey was not at all fazed that I needed a sitter for not just 1 but 2 frenchies. She was very communicative. Sent me pics and updates of the doggos throughout the day. The dogs seemed to really love running around in her spacious backyard. Thank you, Tracey for the genuine care of Arya and Hero. 100% recommend and definitely will be using her again”
“Veronica took great care of my senior dog!! She was able to administer all of her medications. Sent me photos and put me at ease letting me know that my dog was doing good.”
“Thank you so much Victoria for helping us out. Not only on a whim but with our brand new puppy who were still learning about ourselves. The best thing a pet parent can have is reassurance and that’s what you gave! Victoria and her family treated our Kobe like their own. Updates and pics as requested. Thank you for saving us!!!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and I am a very attentive and patient care giver. Any pet staying with me will get lots of attention and love. I will ensure timely feedings, plenty of fresh water, and lots of safety and love. I am a stay at home mom, and my oldest is in full time kindergarten, so I’ll have lots of time to care for your pet, 7 days a week. I have a recently remodeled fenced in back yard, that backs up to a beautiful, shaded nature walk on the edge of a wetlands nature preserve. Any walks we go on will have plenty of safe exploring for your pet. I have two male siamese cats of my own at home who are generally pretty tolerant of other animals. I also have two young children, ages 5 and 3 so as long as your pets are comfortable and good around kids we would love to love on your fur babies!
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“My fur-child did well staying overnight with Lety. It had been about 6 months since he needed boarding again. My sweet boy was taken care with much love and care as always. My mind is always at ease knowing Niko is with Lety.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in North Highlands is $55

Jenna was so great to work with! My normal sitter had to cancel last minute before a week long trip and I was so nervous trying to find someone new, especially over 4th of July. Jenna was sweet and communication was quick and easy. She sent me photos every day and gave my little guy lots of love. She even administered ear drops for an ear infection my dog had just been diagnosed with. Everything was wonderful and absolutely would recommend her.
Nicole was amazing! She took our dog, Remy, on very short notice over the busy Fourth of July weekend and truly went above and beyond. She was reliable, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease during his stay. . Remy was well cared for, and we could tell he had a great stay. We are so grateful for her flexibility and kindness, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Liv was amazing! I have a very strong, exuberant pitbull who I get very anxious about leaving for any extended amount of time. I shared my anxiety with Liv and she did such a great job of easing my anxiety and sent me plenty of photos and updates that made me feel so much better. My two cats are a lot more chill so while I wasn’t as worried about them, they obviously really liked and bonded with Liv while they were there. I would absolutely recommend Liv to anyone looking for pet sitting!
Danie was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Coco and Odyssey. Throughout our trip, she sent frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our return travel was disrupted by a typhoon in Japan, she was incredibly patient and flexible while we worked through a very complicated rebooking process. We truly appreciated her communication and understanding during a stressful situation. Most importantly, it was clear from every update that she genuinely cared about our pups and treated them like part of her family. Coco and Odyssey looked happy, relaxed, and well loved throughout their stay. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would gladly trust her with our dogs again. Highly recommended!
My first time using Rover. Mariia was timely, thoughtful, and consistent. She was very kind and hands on in meeting Oliver, it made us feel very welcome and comfortable at drop off. She sent photographs and videos everyday. This was my dogs first trip away and it was 11 nights. I was able to focus on my time away knowing he was well taken care of. I would use her services again and recommend to others. Thank you!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Jenny took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She treated him like part of her family and made sure he felt right at home. I really appreciated the daily photo updates and messages—it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed he was each day. Her home is clean, welcoming, and clearly set up with pets’ comfort in mind. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with Jerome. She took amazing care of our boys and it really showed. They came home happy and worn out from all the fun. We also really appreciated the daily check-ins with messages and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for the weekend.
Daisy and Bailey have stayed with Julane a few times. They feel at home when they stay with her. She sends us pictures and updates. I love the pictures of our dogs chilling on the couch and when they’re about to walk with their furry friend Mary. Our dogs are so happy and comfortable staying with Julane and her family. ❤️🐾🐶

FAQs for Boarding - North Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Highlands on Rover is $31.08 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 1,660 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Highlands. 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands.
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 North Highlands 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.
