“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Victoria is super sweet & friendly. As soon as she opened the door I could tell she had a very kind personality. I felt comfortable leaving our cat & dog with her for the day immediately. I was nervous cause we’ve never dropped our fur babies off anywhere for housesitting but they both did great & she sent lots of pictures. Thanks Victoria!!!”
“Serena and Wes are amazing hosts! As promised, she sent plenty of pictures of our boxers. They spoiled them during their stay for sure. Beezley and Maile looked sooo happy! We'll definitely be back for future sittings. If you're looking for a sitter, look no further. Thank you Serena and Wes!”
“Nancy was absolutely awesome! She took excellent care of our guy with plenty of exercise. More than he is used to! He came back a little trimmer! He also had plenty of his favorite thing...relaxing next to someone on a couch! She only does obe dog at a time which is even better. She has a wealth of experience with training large dogs. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 9, starting with family dogs and cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or even giving a much-needed bath, I’ve had plenty of practice (and a few splashes!). Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, and I enjoy every moment spent with furry companions. You can trust that your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. Whether it’s cuddles or playtime, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and safe, just like they’re my own! I work part-time from home, and I attend college online. I have plenty of time to take care of furry friends, and I’m available for most of the day! I finish my work and assignments in the early morning, so anytime after 7AM I’m available! I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and a calm environment where pets can relax. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs, and I always make their safety and happiness a priority.
“Our dog Benny spent a wonderful week with Tracey. She sent multiple daily updates, allowing us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Benny enjoyed his time and came home happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook. Thank you Tracey! Benny says hi 💕”
“After having many many people watch my dog I have finally found someone in Derek and Leslie that I have 100% trust in! They treat Molly like family therefore they are family to me! Very kind, respectful, and nurturing to my girl - I take comfort in knowing where she is going to be for the day or the week! I recommend giving them a try if you are in the Sacramento area. Joe Brown”
“Our first long trip away from our pup, but we felt so comfortable leaving him in Marnett’s care. We met beforehand to make sure personalities matched up and we were a go from the start. So relieved to find such a reliable and responsible boarder!!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.
About: I offer personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior pets, I ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every furry friend. Your pet will receive the attention and care they deserve in a safe, loving environment I'm working part time from home and will be more than happy to spend time with your pet while you're away! My schedule is flexible and I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, or even just dropping in for some playtime and cuddles. I have fenced yard in apartments also have park in 2 min walk from my home, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I have experience with both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more.
“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“Gricel gave me peace of mind from the moment I had a meet and greet with her and my doodle grils. She sent me videos, pictures every day. I highly recommend Gricel and will definitely will be using her again. Thank you Gricel for taking good care of my Girls Coco and Mocha.”
“Madeline was incredibly flexible and completely professional for our dog. Her communication was great, we received plenty of updates. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Coco took great care of our dog and cat! She is a hidden gem of a sitter. We have tried several sitters with 100+ reviews in the area (far more than Coco at the time of writing) and she is by far the best sitter. She was easy to communicate with, sent daily updates with lots of photos/videos focused on our pets, and genuinely took good care of our pets.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since childhood and bring over 10 years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family. My home includes a gentle 10-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai and two senior cats—all of whom are completely dog-friendly, non-reactive, and well-accustomed to hosting guest dogs in our home. Since I work from home full-time, I am always there to ensure your pup gets personalized attention, continuous supervision, and a calm, low-stress environment. I host only one guest dog at a time so your pet receives my undivided care. My household is calm, clean, and family-friendly. My school-aged daughters have grown up with pets and know how to interact gently and respect a dog’s personal space. For added peace of mind, my senior cats also have their own dedicated upstairs sanctuary. Indoor Comfort: On hot or inclement days, we relax indoors where guest dogs are welcome to lounge on the living room sofa (bedrooms remain pet-free zones).
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.
“Olesia and her husband are truly the best people we’ve ever met when it comes to finding someone we can trust with our cat, GG. Per usual, she sends us pictures and videos leaving us relaxed. She is attentive, considerate, and overall a great human being! Thank you for all that you do for our family!!”

Giovanni was perfect for my dog Lilac! He made sure she was comfortable and gave her lots of love. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. He administered medication with ease and was attentive to Lilac’s needs. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants their dog to be well cared for during their time away.
Jenna was great! I had my senior dog stay with her and because she is older there are many requirements and directions for her proper care. Jenna was attentive to learning, asked appropriate questions and provided a very safe and comfortable home for my fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again myself in the future. Thanks Jenna🐶😊
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in North Highlands is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,649 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 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 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 , 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.
