“I highly recommend Niraj! Our bulldog Wally has a lot of anxiety and is a often tough to watch because of his energy. Niraj was so great with him and made us feel at ease while we were away traveling. He provided daily updates and had a great calm energy that Wally needed in a sitter. He was also very responsive in his communication and flexible. We will definitely be going back to Niraj in the future!”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Provided great care and updates. Even with all of Hudson nuances of not wanting to walk unless it’s with minimum of two people, Nikki and her husband was able to care for Hudson while we were away visiting family in France for 3 weeks. Thanks again.”
“Shirley was amazing, she constantly sent pictures of daisy so i would be comfortable. She also gave her a bath. I will definitely use Shirley when ever i go out of town!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding Banana with Justine. She’s super nice and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. She was awesome at sending pictures and video updates. She has a wonderful yard and house with plenty of room to play. Banana had a great time staying with Justine.”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“Jessica and her boyfriend Rick are wonderful! This was our first time ever using rover and we were super anxious about leaving our Honey behind. They both did such a wonderful job of reassuring us and kept in touch throughout our time away. Honey clearly had a great time and we’ll definitely us Jessica and Rick again in the future!”
“Christy took excellent care of my senior dachshund, Leia, while I was on a long weekend trip! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Hill
Yena is amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and regularly sent updates including pictures and videos about my puppy Camila, who boarded here for the first time. I appreciated having the meet and greet so Camila could interact with all the other dogs there before staying overnight. All the dogs were friendly and respectful. Camila was able to play in the yard and inside the home. Yena was kind to keep the same food routine at home, which I found very helpful. It was great to have my puppy in a safe and fun environment while I was away for a trip. I think Camila had so much fun that I will have to bring her over for daycare in the near future! Thank you Yena!
Another trip, another amazing experience with Stefanie. Not everyone is up for the task of caring for a special needs dog, but Stefanie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and PATIENT. I have tremendous peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks again. Stefanie, for caring for my sweet, old girl!
She was an absolutely amazing sitter! She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos of my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness, communication, and the care she provided throughout his stay. It made being away from him so much easier! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I would happily book with her again!
My dog, Ziggy, LOVES it at Natalie’s so much that I think he’s sad leaving his friends and buddies when we pick him up 😅 Natalie gave me updates of Ziggy just having the best time with the other doggies, zooming around and cuddling. We’re moving to a house with no yard and I may have to bring him for doggy daycare coz he loves it there so much!
We have had multiple great experiences with Tamiko. She is very responsive, gives multiple updates during the sitting and you can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. Our dog always looks to have an amazing time while there and is completely tuckered out when he’s back. She’s the best sitter on Rover we’ve used and will continue to use whenever available.
Really appreciate the flexibility and care provided for my dog Kayla by Sophia and her husband Jonathan. Had some possible last-minute Vet issues and they were willing to still care for her. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and they kept me informed of Kayla‘s visit and sent photos. They also sent me photos when I asked as I was missing her. Kayla enjoyed her walks and really appreciated that she could sit anywhere on the couch and on their bed. Definitely will use them again if needed. Thanks to you both!
Our dog Stirling had a great time with Jess & her dog Peach! They went on walks, went to the coffee shop and played at the dog park. Jess was so caring and always communicated any questions she had and she gave updates with cute photos. We were so happy to find Jess on Rover! We will be hiring her again soon!
Serafina was amazing with our anxious girl!! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and I had no idea how our dog would do, but Serafina put both her and I at ease. She sent updates and photos throughout our trip and our girl seemed right at home with her and her fiancé. She has such a calm, gentle demeanor and a lovely home and yard. Our pup came home clearly very happy and well cared for. I would definitely have Serafina watch our girl again in the future!
Jill and her family gave Cooper great care and their dog Buddy was the perfect best friend for Cooper during his time with them. They took care of him for over a week and we did not have to worry one bit because we knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back here for future vacations.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pleasant Hill is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $98 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 5,975 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pleasant Hill. 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.
93% of sitters in Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill.
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 Pleasant Hill 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.
