“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”
“Kendra really made moving a lot less stressful for our girls by keeping them out of the chaos! They really enjoy being with Kendra and she makes them feel safe and loved!”
“I trusted Cynthia to take care of Benji again, and once again, she did a wonderful job! I felt completely comfortable knowing Benji was in good hands. Cynthia was caring and kept me updated throughout his stay. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Cynthia! ❤️”
“Tracey and her husband Steve are the best! We haven't met any pet sitter like them. They are a genuinely loving, caring, kind and super sweet couple. They took amazing care of Ziggy and Teddy, and treated them with so much love and attention like they're one of their own. We love that Tracey kept us updated with photos which assured us our boys were in the best of hands. We could tell our babies were so comfortable and happy in their home. We are so blessed to have found such a loving couple. We couldn't have found a much better sitter. Thanks sooooo much for having Ziggy and Teddy! Can't wait to rebook our babies in the near future. A+++”
“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!”
“Nicole was amazing with my babies ,she sent so many amazing pictures of Ella and Rue while we were away on our trip. Nicole’s customer service and communication was five stars + . I will definitely book with her again.”
“Rachel and Jason took great care of our pups! We were gone for a few weeks and needed someone whom we could trust. One of our fur babies got injured right before the booking dates, and we were worried about all the new extra care he would require. But after our meet and greet, we felt confident that Watson and Ziggy would be in great hands. Rachel and Jason provided updates while we were away, and when we returned, Watson's injury was much better! If you are thinking about booking with Rachel and Jason, know that your pups will be well looked after!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“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.”
“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.”
“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”
“Doh provided an amazing service for my dog. I normally hired her for house sitting at my home in the past. I decided to try out her boarding service at her house. I was so happy with the service she provided for my fur baby. Her home set up for dog is perfect for all size of dogs and it’s doggies safe house. I would recommend to anyone for her pet sitting services. Thank you Doh for taking great care of Rocky!!”
“Julie is wonderful! I am relatively new to dog ownership and have not had good luck finding a place for my dog, Cleo, when I travel. I am so grateful to have found Julie. She cared for and treated Cleo as if she were her own pup. She sent pictures daily, putting us at ease. She was wonderfully flexible and easy going. Cleo enjoyed Julie's home and yard, and the other dogs there so much, I think she was disappointed to have to come home! We will definitely be using Julie whenever we travel and need dog care!”
“First I must say I do not like boarding my baby Gracie at all. I needed to find some way I could board my Gracie that was not a kennel so I could be confident my baby would be well taken care of so I could enjoy my travel. Found Rover.com and decided to give it a try. Started searching the sitters & I found Irvin & Susan. The reviews were great so decided to do a meet and greet. Everything about the atmosphere was great as was Susan. Booked a short stay to see how it worked out. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures of how Gracie was doing. When I picked up Gracie she was her happy self & when we got home there was no sulking as there has been with a kennel. Fortunately, Irvin & Susan enjoyed by Gracie too. I look forward to using Irvin & Susan again next year when I go on my cruise and be able to enjoy my time knowing Gracie will be well taken care of. Thank You Irvin & Susan.”
“Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our senior pup. We were worried about finding someone who would be able to take care of her senior needs and potentially deal with any issues if they came up, but Tracy was the perfect fit and we feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Greg was an exceptional host for my pups! I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and I had a last minute need and he was there to help. He kept me more than updated and ensured my pups were exercised and loved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate caring individual to watch their pups!”
“Serena was a perfect sitter for Olive - kept her busy and happy, and sent lots of pictures of all their adventures. She knows dogs well, and I’d highly recommend her.”
“Angela did a great job! It was obvious Sadie felt very comfortable at her home by the pictures Angela sent of her lounging in her doggy bed and playing outside. I would definitely recommend using Angela to care for your pet.”
“Victoria welcomed our 5 month old puppy lovingly and like her own baby! She gave twice a day updates and plenty of pictures which we loved. I also appreciate the 2 walks a day and the immediate responses!”
“Jamal and Shameka took great care of Storm while she was boarded with them. She was well taken care of and greatly enjoyed herself. They sent pictures for updates and even gave her a bath when it was needed. Would totally board Storm with them again!”

We left our dog with Christany for a long weekend and we couldn't be happier. She sent us daily photo updates. The pictures were telling how happy and cuddly our pup was. The whole family took such good care of him. He came home happy, clean, and relaxed. We will definitely be booking with Christany again. Thank you so much Christany.
Antoinette took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. This was the first time I have left my dog with someone other than family. I received a video of them taking Lulu for a walk and pictures of her in the home. I will definitely request Antoinette in the future.
This was our first time using Liv and she was so great with our 2 pups! We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable. During their stay she followed our instructions very thoroughly and gave us plenty of updates with pictures. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your pets!
Julane and her family are so sweet! I can tell my doggy had an amazing time at her stay. My dog is so energetic, so to see her fall asleep as soon as she got home, shows me that Julane and her family gave Mia so much love and attention. Definitely rebooking her when I go on my next trip!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Highlands on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,646 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.
95% 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.
