“We highly recommend Yu-Shu! Yu-Shu and her family took great care of our dog, Max. She communicated regularly while we were gone with pictures and videos of him. She was able to deal with his diet restrictions. He appeared to have a great time playing with her children and going for walks. We almost felt bad picking him up and taking him away from them. Haha. We will definitely be asking Yu-Shu to watch Max in the future!”
“Simply amazing. Simba was comfortable the minute he met Lourdes and Braden. Such a lovely couple who took such great care of our dog. I will definitely use them again.”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“This is the second time we chose to leave Tobi with Lili and Matt. I am very satisfied the way they took care of Tobi and kept updating us with Tobi’s picture and video, which made a big difference when we left her for almost 20 days. Thank you Lili and Matt.”
“We had almost given up on Rover until we found Shipra! She and her entire family are such genuine dog lovers. They made our Penny feel like part of their family & addressed our concerns ahead of time. Penny’s 11+ yrs and had experienced separation anxiety in the past but not anymore! A big ‘Thank you” to the entire family & hopefully we will being seeing you again.”
About: Since the time I had my pet for the last 4 years, I can’t disagree to say I secretly love him more than my daughter😁. They are super cute, notorious, kind with those forgiving eyes. It would be fun to have your fur babies playing in my backyard and staying in our house. My daughter loves dogs, my pet is calm but friendly upon his mood and as a team, my family would love to host your fur babies. I am a software engineer by profession and working remotely. I am full time available at home, when the care is needed for the dogs. I have a playpen along with a large dog crate, if separation is needed. Backyard is fenced and is super secure. My daughter and I will walk the dogs.
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Returning customer! Teddy was absolutely thrilled to be reunited with Lauren. It was like seeing an old friend. We had a peace of mind being away from Teddy and Lauren gave us regular updates on how he was doing throughout the day. He might just be back for another stay over!”
“Thanks so much for taking good care of our two dogs! The daily photos were wonderful and we were always happy to see our doggies enjoying themselves. Also, we appreciate the open line of communication :)”
“Our dog Marley’s stay with Maya was great! Maya kept us very well informed and sent lots of pictures. Maya was very accommodating and flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We will happily leave Marley in Maya’s care again in the future. 😊🐾”
“Zhengfang was a great dog sitter! My Mushu was very comfortable with her and her home. She sent daily updates along with pics and videos. Mushu will be staying with her again next month. Highly recommend!”
“Ping was wonderful with Tucker during his stay. She was very communicative, sending photos and videos, and always responding promptly to my text messages. She was very warm with Tucker and sent very nice notes of feedback during the stay. When Tucker came out to greet us when we picked him up, he was VERY happy and even turned around to go back to Ping to say goodbye!”
“Keelin was amazing with Robin and made the whole experience very pleasant and comfortable for both of us. I trust her care and would definitely reach out again. Thank you Keelin for all your time and help.”
“I had a great experience boarding my cat with Svetlana through Rover! From the start, they were friendly, and responsive. Throughout the stay, I received regular picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. It was obvious my cat was comfortable and well-cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“We had to quickly find someone for our pet dog Beny as we had to go out of town for a day. We found Rachana and we are so glad we found her. She did a wonderful job and gave us constant updates (pictures) and walks. Beny had so much fun with her family. Their whole family are pet lovers and everyone we're seen petting or cuddling our pet. From now on, she will our go to pet sitter and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for pet sitting services.”
“We are so lucky Robert was available to dog sit our two pups while we were at a wedding. From the get go, Robert was extremely responsive! He set up a meet and greet ahead of our desired date and our pups loved his backyard and space! Robert did such a good job taking care of our dogs and sending us updates throughout the day. He was respective of our requests and notes about the dogs and our pups were truly spoiled while we were away. It’s very clear that Robert loves dogs. Would not hesitate to rebook with him again!”

This is the second time we've asked Braden and Natalie to look after our dogs, and knowing we have people we can trust completely with their care gives us tremendous peace of mind. We’re truly grateful for that. Our dogs even seem to look forward to staying with them, and the daily photos and messages they send always show just how happy and comfortable they are. They also pay close attention to the care instructions we provide and follow them diligently. Rather than viewing our detailed notes as a burden, they actually thank us for them, which reassures us that they genuinely care about giving our dogs the best possible experience. As pet owners, one of our biggest concerns is the stress our dogs might experience from being in a different environment or encountering unexpected situations. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Braden and Natalie, who make it possible for us to leave our dogs in their care with complete peace of mind. Thank you both so much for everything you do!
I can’t be happier with amazing dog sitters like Lili and Matt. I could tell Angel was very happy to be with them and comfortable and safe. I regularly got photos and updates on her, and I could tell she was very well cared for and loved! I feel blessed to have found this family. Lily was very easy to contact and talk to, friendly and flexible as well as kind. Her home spacious and very organised and clean. Angel got to be outdoors daily whether on walks or in the backyard. So thankful for this family‘s care, I would book again without a doubt.
April is definitely is a top notch dog sitting provider. Even though this was the first time using her service, I felt extremely comfortable from the meet and greet to when I picked up my dog, Hilo. She was so accommodating to my schedule, and provided the best care possible in my absence. She fulfilled all my directions and did the things she listed on her profile. So there was no miscommunication. What caught my eye about her profile when going through them on Rover were the camera portraits of the dog with a cute sign next to them. She did that too, with Hilo! When you are somebody, like me, who always thinks about your dog, it's nice that she sent pictures/videos throughout the day. Something like that, goes a long way. Thanks again April, and I'm looking forward to the next time using her as her as Hilo's dog sitter.
Zcarina took wonderful care of our senior pup. She was extremely flexible, and was willing to work with our unconventional schedule (due to my mom having a back injury). She showed up on time every day and I felt 100% peace of mind while I was traveling. I would not hesitate to book again with Zcarina because I trust her whole heartedly. Thanks Zcarina!
Alyse and her family were awesome with Gabbar! She was super responsive and accommodating the whole time, which made everything so easy. Gabbar honestly had the best time and looked like he was having a blast. I loved getting the photos and videos throughout his stay, too; it was so nice to see him happy. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks so much, Alyse!
Reema was AMAZING!!! If you want your prince or princess to be treated like the royalty they are, she’s your gal! Super responsive, wonderful home, yard, and care. Our guy spent two days in doggy day care with her while we were in town for a graduation and he was happy to see her, tail wags and all when we went back for day two. Highly recommend and she will be our go to when we’re back in the area.
Ping let us know what and how Ronin was doing. Her attention to the details (i.e. our notes about Ronin) and her updates on Ronin showed Ronin has been taken care of and made us feel at ease to leave Ronin under her care. Ronin came home happy and also tired from walking around the neighborhood. Hence, Ping earned a five-star for her service!
Uma was very accommodating with a last-minute change, which I truly appreciated. She is friendly, communicates well, and keeps her home nice and cozy. The backyard is spacious and perfect for pets to move around and play. My pet felt comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!
Ozge and her family took such amazing care of Ella and truly treated her like their own. I received multiple detailed updates each day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ella adjusted quickly thanks to Ozge’s genuine attentiveness. She also went above and beyond by administering both oral and topical medications, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Ella felt comfortable, content, and well cared for the entire time. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl 🤍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pleasanton on Rover is $62.38 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 7,018 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pleasanton. 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.
92% of Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton.
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 Pleasanton 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.
