“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.”
“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”
“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Kimberly took such great care of Hazel while we were away for a weekend trip! She made sure Hazel felt welcomed and comfortable at home, and Hazel even made a good friend with another dog at the home. We would highly recommend Kimberly to other families!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Lili took amazing care of Molly and kept me updated with photos and messages, so I felt completely at ease while I was away. From walks to playtime, Lili went above and beyond to make sure all of Molly's needs were met. I highly recommend Lili to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Monisa and David were top-notch dogsitters for our 10 yr old, 20 lb., Yorkie mix, Cody. Monisa kept us informed throughout our absence, and we never worried about Cody. He loved their doggy door that led to their large, grassy and shaded backyard. We hope to book with Monisa and David in the future.”
“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. 😊🐾”
“It was the first time our Luna ( 11yr old multi-poo) was able to stay with Zhengfang. We dropped her off Friday and picked her up following Monday within 1minute! In and out. No checkout lines waiting etc. I was sent pictures and videos on how she was doing and we felt comfortable on how she was treated. I believe this is a much better option than petsmart or others we’ve tried. The cost, service, cleanliness, convenience, timeliness, TLC, and no attitude, surpasses all others. Thank you Zhengfang and we’ll contact you the next time Luna needs dog sitting!”
“Clara was the perfect dog sitter for Jake. After relying on the same sitter for the past 8 years, we were reluctant to look for a new sitter once our regular dogsitter discontinued her service because our dog is such a creature of habit. But we needn't have had concerns. Clara was extremely attentive to Jake's needs, followed our instructions to a "T" and provided a wonderful environment to explore in her lovely backyard while her own dog, Diego, proved to be a sweet companion for Jake to play with. Clara was extremely commuicative and sent us photos and videos several times a day so we could be reassured that he was being well cared for. In short, we give Clara our highest recommendation and look forward to her becoming our regular dog sitter.”
“Zcarina! Is amazing! ?She is very professional and nice! From the start our baby pug was so comfortable with her! She make sure our dog felt comfortable and loved during his boarding! Since our puppy is very shy and very introverted we were worried he might get scared. But he came back home super happy and super active ⭐️ if I could give 10 stars to this review I would! If you need someone to take care of your dog ? Zcarina is the best!”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“Robert was fantastic, taking in our frenchie last minute. Our pup has had a hard time socializing, but Robert demonstrated incredible patience and understanding with our dog, giving her a wonderful time away from home along with a couple other dogs. Thanks again!!”
“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
“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: I took care of my family and friends’ dogs while they were away . I deeply believe pets are our truest friends and family members too.So we treat them with great love . I am currently not working. So I have plenty of time to connect and play with your pets. We will take walks as much as they needed. I don’t have a fenced yard. But I have a crater. It means I can care for your dog in your house as you instructed or I can use crater in my house.

We had an amazing experience with Chris! This was Cooper’s first time staying with someone new for 4–5 days, so we were naturally a little nervous. From the very beginning, he made Cooper feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. He took Cooper on regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and kept us updated every day with messages and photos. Those daily updates gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We would absolutely book with him again!
I am so happy to have found Zcarina to care for our Daisy while we were out of town. She made sure Daisy ate well, as she has a past of not eating while we are apart. I would get updates on Daisy, along with pictures and videos. Daisy was so happy and I could tell Zcarina loved her like her own. Thank you Zcarina, you are amazing!!
Jenny was an amazing sitter for Kaiser!!! She followed our care instructions perfectly and updated us every few days with multiple pictures and videos. She was very cautious and caring. Kaiser is usually scared of strangers, but he warmed up to her and soon became very comfortable with the sitter and her family. She even bathed him as his stay was almost 4 weeks long. We will definitely be choosing her as our sitter for him again if needed in the future. ☺️
Robert is a top notch dog sitter because he understands dogs and can match their different energies and personalities well. He assessed Sahaley quickly and she felt comfortable with him instantly. He also gave me some great advice on how to care for her. I would happily use him again and recommend him to anyone.
Divya and her family took wonderful care of our 7 year old Beagle while we were 1000 miles away in Yellowstone National Park. She went above and beyond with regular updates and beautiful photos that put our minds completely at ease. Since Divya has a Beagle of her own, our pet felt right at home and settled in quickly, almost like he found a second family. We can't recommend her highly enough for your pet boarding needs. She's an absolute gem!
Leaving Leia for a week made me very nervous, but Ying and her family took such wonderful care of her. Ying was incredibly attentive and thoughtful throughout her stay. She sent multiple updates, including messages, photos, and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. It was clear that Leia was having a great time and was treated like part of the family and received so much love and attention. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely book with Ying again in the future. Highly recommend!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pleasanton on Rover is $64.29 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 6,895 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.
