“Natalie and Braden are incredibly loving, caring, and attentive boarders. Every time we bring Millie to them—whether it's been a couple of months or more—she remembers the place instantly. She’ll race up the driveway, which leads to several homes, but she always knows exactly which one is theirs. Once she’s at the door, she eagerly waits for it to be opened and greets them with kisses and a wagging tail. It’s clear how much she loves being there, and that makes us feel completely at ease. They do a fantastic job keeping her entertained, comfortable, and on her regular schedule. We’re so thankful for the care they provide and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dog boarding!”
“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Romeo had a good time with Clara. She ensured she sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated. He wasnt' having his food so she made sure that she fed him food that she fed her dog. Clara also made sure Romeo received his own personal time when he did not want to play with her dog. Thank you Clara”
“Shipra and family were awesome with my Shuri during her stay over a recent long weekend. As it was our first time, we did a quick meet and greet, and I could see they really care for the dogs and prioritize their care. Shipra was forthright with questions, accommodating of my timings and requests, and overall a caring host. She sent me regular pics and updates of Shuri having fun with her family and their sweet pupper Shadow. I could relax during my own vacation knowing Shuri was well cared for. And Shuri came home a tired and happy dog. Couldn't ask for more!”
“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. 😊🐾”
“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!”
“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!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“I cannot recommend Monisa and David enough! We boarded our dog Charlie for two weeks with them, and he was treated like family. Monisa and David were incredibly communicative, they kept in touch with us frequently, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was very obvious Charlie enjoyed being with them ! He appeared happy and healthy upon our return . We will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Robert and his family were fantastic! We were very nervous to leave our six month old puppy for the first time ever, but after the meet and greet with Robert, we knew Blue would be in great hands. We received photos and videos everyday which helped put us at ease during our time away. Blue had plenty of fur friends to play with and he had a blast. Blue was happy that we were home, but we could tell he missed Robert, his family, and his new friends a lot! We will absolutely book with Robert again the next time we go on vacation :-)”
“Max had a really good time at Saumya’s. Daisy is a great dog and got along with Max from the get go. Saumya and her family are very sweet and caring. They took Max to the park and she kept me updated with pics. Felt very comfortable leaving Max with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great place to leave their dog.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home where your dog will be treated like family. Expect plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, playtime, walks, and lots of one-on-one attention. My Goldendoodle, CoCo, is friendly, well-socialized, and loves having doggy guests to play and relax with. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate walks, feeding routines, medication administration (if needed), and one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I have a fenced backyard, with lots of space for the pets to lounge, run around inside or out in a caring and safe environment
“Alyssa kept our puppy 11-month-old Callie for a week. This was our first time using a Rover sitter for an extended time and Alyssa and her family were great with Callie. Callie came home tired and happy, and I'm sure had lots of playtime with Alyssa's dog Buster. Alyssa was great with sending pictures and/or messages to let us know how Callie was doing. We will definitely use Alyssa again and are really happy that she made our first time leaving one of our dogs with someone other than family really easy and comfortable.”
“Megan was fantastic with Xavier! She took him out for plenty of hikes and made sure he got plenty of exercise. Especially appreciate how she was able to find ways to get him out before/after all of the rain during another "atmospheric river". She kept us updated and shared pictures and videos that really put our minds at ease as we saw how happy he looked. Really appreciated the wonderful care and attention - would definitely book with her again!”

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. ☺️
Holly did an amazing job taking care of our dog over the weekend! She kept us updated with pictures of him playing and having a great time throughout his stay. Seeing how happy and relaxed he looked gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
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!
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!
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!

FAQs for Boarding - Pleasanton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pleasanton on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,905 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.
