“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!”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you so much Shipra for taking such good care of Fresco and making him feel like home. I would totally recommend her if you are looking for a home away from home for your fur baby. Loved her family and how they all bonded with Fresco. She took care of every small details we mentioned and kept us updated with his pictures.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“I am so happy to have found Fiona and Yuan for my golden Lexa, who adores them and their kids! I got lots of pictures during her stay showing how much she was loving her life with this amazing family, including their two kids, who sparkled with joy and excitement to have Lexa there. Thank you Fiona and Yuan!”
“Oh my gosh- thank goodness for Dakota and Jaclyn!!! They were AMAZING caretakers for our young girl! We were worried to leave her for over a week as she was only 4 months but they were so great at supporting her and went above and beyond! They dealt with accidents and her initial nerves with care and patience. We got regular pix and updates to keep our family connected with her. We are so grateful and would highly recommend them!”
About: Here’s a professional English version: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been part of my life for many years. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and rest periods, and I make sure each pet receives consistent attention, companionship, and monitoring throughout the day. I especially prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, particularly for senior pets, to ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times. I have a fenced yard and safe and big space of home. In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, offer plenty of attention and gentle playtime, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I have special experience caring for senior dogs, including monitoring health, mobility, and emotional well-being, and I treat every dog as if they were my own family member.
“Keelin took amazing care of our two pups while we were away. It was clear they were having the best time from the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent—our dogs always looked happy and well cared for. They got plenty of walks, playtime, and love, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Thank you Keelin!”

“Another great stay for Tucker. He went on a few adventures, we got many photos and updates, and he just loves Ping and her family. We are so lucky to have her care for our dog. ❤️”
“Veronica and her family were amazing! I was in from out of town and had a last minute change of plans and she watched my puppy and I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her! She sent pictures and pupdates and even took my puppy to the beach! She was a lifesaver and I would definitely trust her to watch my dog 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 :-)”
“Jita and her family took extremely good care of Piku. Piku made a new friend with Jitas dog. With constant updates and clear communication I was very rest assured that everything was fine with the boarding. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Piku and hope to see you soon!”

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!!
Natalie and Braden took wonderful care of our dog, Mulligan, while we were away for a week on our summer vacation. They were professional, reliable, and gave us regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that Mulligan was well cared for and received lots of attention and love. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Natalie and Braden to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!
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.
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!

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.
