“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup Henna with Maria and Kevan’s family! They did a great job keeping us updated and Henna seemed to have a very fun time there. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
“Justin and Patrick took great care of our Cocker Spaniel mix Louie. It was our first time using Rover and it was also the longest we've ever left him so we were a little nervous. It put our mind at ease that they sent daily photos/updates and overall seemed very caring and attentive. We also like that they have rescue dogs of their own. So glad the dogs got along well. We appreciate the great care and will definitely book them again!”
“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️”
“Another great doggy slumber party! Sky loves staying with Matt and Luna. She is always eager to run inside when we arrive to drop her off. I get pictures daily and she always smells like they gave her a bath when I pick her up, even though they haven’t.”
“I boarded my dog with Kelly for 9 days while I was out of town and she did a great job. My dog came back to me happy with a wagging tail. She sent me picture/video updates every day to give me a peace of mind. Excellent communication and very professional. I highly recommend her if you’re in need of a dog sitter!”
“Cara is amazing!! We have two reactive dogs, and I was concerned that they would not warm up to a caregiver. Cara was patient and they warmed right up to her. She took great care of them and provided me with daily updates. She took them on walks, let them explore outside, and provided a comforting space for them to lounge and rest. I highly recommend Cara.”
“Caroline was a super canine vacation host! She sends daily activity messages, pics and comments at days end. She even does follow up work after ... She helped me with trainer etc... highly recommended. Drew miller”
“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Danielle and Joel were great with our pup, Izzi. They took plenty of pictures, made sure he exercised daily and gave him plenty of love and cuddles. We would definitely recommend them and would book them again.”
“Angela was awesome with Maple. She gave daily updates and made sure that my very active dog was able to get her energy out every day. Would highly recommend/rebook in the future!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“There’s nothing like finding someone you can trust wholeheartedly to care for your loved one. Nicole is that someone! Leaving Malfie for the first time was easier than expected because Nicole is so kind and caring! I’m so happy that we have found her and her husband!”
“Valerie was exceptional! Her attention to and care for my puppy Monroe was expert and knowledgeable. This was Monroes first time away from home, and Valerie was rightfully concerned about his severe separation anxiety. Like the professional she is, she helped Monroe through it while updating me with pictures, information, and tips the entire time. Valerie is very down to earth, friendly, and caring. Your fur friends are 100% in excellent hands!”
“They were a treat to work with! I was a little nervous leaving my 6-month-old Australian Shepherd because of how much energy and attention young Aussies require, but they exceeded all expectations. They took excellent care of him during his stay, including taking him on multiple hikes and making sure he got plenty of exercise and enrichment. It was clear when I got home that he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the level of attention and care they provided, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”
“I can’t recommend Robert (and Brian) too highly! He is loving affectionate and attentive. He took my dog Poppy for long walks every day and made great effort to understand and accommodate her foibles. He is a dog whisperer! Thank you”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Orinda
Our dog Winston came home super happy from staying a week with Rachel and her family. We got text and photo updates, and she was great about communicating how he was doing. We felt extra good that he got to play with other dogs and kids while he was there. He came home happy and it was really nice to have a great peace of mind that our furry family member was well cared for while the rest of us were vacationing.
Daria was so loving to our two beautiful dogs. She watched them for 3 nights and sent us the sweetest photos and updates. One of the dogs is only 8 months and still needs a lot of attention and supervision and I felt so safe leaving her with Daria. We also had some delays with our flights and had to extend our pick up and Daria was so accommodating and flexible! I highly recommend Daria to care of your animals and will definitely reach out to her again in the future!
Beth and Jeff were absolutely incredible! My girl Sunday is high energy and sometimes gets a little nervous in new places, but Beth and Jeff made Sunny feel right at home. She ran around in their oasis of a backyard and played with her new best friends (Beth and Jeff’s 2 kids)—she was even allowed to sleep in their room! Sunny came home reluctantly and very tired! Sunny already can’t wait for me to leave town so she can stay with her new pals again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Orinda on Rover is $49.58 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 6,034 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Orinda. 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.
93% of Orinda 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 Orinda 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 Orinda 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 Orinda.
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 Orinda 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.
