“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“Having to leave behind a pet is already heart breaking enough and then to look for a reliable pet sitter is another challenge. Fortunately we found Vanson, he took care of our dog, Brodie, for 2.5 weeks and kept in touch with us the entire time with messages, pictures and videos of their activities. It was comforting to know that our pet was in good hands and well cared for. We will definitely entrust Brodie with Vanson again in the future.”
“Loved letting Plumeria stay with Kushram! Went out of town for 4 days, and they took great care of her. They sent photos every few days for updates on care, and were very kind and reassuring. Will definitely be going back.”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Stefanie caring for our two dogs. Stefanie cared for our Labradoodle and Dachshund. Our Labradoodle can become quite anxious with conventional kennel boarding which prevents him from getting rest. Stefanie provided a safe, calm, and relaxing environment which allowed our Labradoodle to feel at home. Stefanie did a great job of keeping us updated with photos while we were away which provided peace of mind. We had a terrific experience!”
“We used Patrick for the first time this past week. We felt confident that the dogs were in good hands with his outstanding reviews. It is clear that Patrick cares and makes an effort to go over the details thoughtfully. He also is very prompt at replying and confirming details before the visit. A great yard for the dogs to enjoy! We got daily photos of the dogs.”
“Our vacation is over & we had a wonderful time without having to worry about our American bulldog Lucy!! We knew when we left her with Peter that she was in excellent hands. She had other doggy playmates & had a wondeful time playing with them & Peter assured us when we picked her up that they enjoyed her very much & that all went well! I cannot tell you how much it meant to us to be able to leave Lucy in such good hands with people who obviously love animals and treat them so lovingly! We will definitely be using DogVacay in the future & Peter will be our first choice! Thank you again Peter for an excellent job well done!! P&M”
“Earl loved his stay with Barsha! This was our second time having Barsha watch Earl and we could not be happier with the fast communication and lots of photos & videos of him playing and having fun during his stay!”
“I really appreciated all the updates throughout Hunnie’s stay; every walk, playtime, and feeding with lots of photos! Deborah was also very accommodating after some last minute travel changes on my end and was able to take care of Hunnie for an extra night. She came home happy! Would definitely book with Deborah again. Thank you!”
“Ross was awesome! From our initial meeting, he asked all the right questions about the care and personality of my pup. During my pups stay, Ross was great about sending daily photos and updates on how my little guy was managing with my absence. I could see from the photos that my pup and Ross's pup were getting along really well... This left me feeling very comfortable that my pup was enjoying his 'vacation'. Thanks so much Ross! We look forward to Baxter staying with you again soon!”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“A last minute request for a dog sitter while we were on a road trip resulted in a very satisfactory experience for us, first-time Rover customers. Abigail was caring, informative, and responsive to our 13-year-old pup, Nellie. So happy to have found Abigail, and we recommend her highly!! We’ll certainly keep Rover in mind for the future! Great app!! Wow!!!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely love animals. I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love taking dogs on hikes and to the beach as well. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure pets get the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, and special care needs. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to ensure they feel safe, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Shirley is the best! We went on an international trip and Shirley made us so comfortable and connected to our sweet girl while we were so far away! We so appreciate her pictures/videos and the individual attention she is able to show our small dog. Thanks Shirley!”
“Holly had a lovely time once again. Thanks for taking such great care of her. She loves romping in your yard (or sunbathing) and your cozy chairs. Appreciate your prompt communication and cute pictures 😍. Thanks again!”

Malia was awesome! Friendly, energetic and loving. It was obvious my Arlo had a great time during his vacay w/ Malia and her adorable 5yr old (?) little guy. Malia’s pick up & drop off was seamless. My fairly energetic pup Got his fill of belly rubs, playtime and upon his return would continue to run to Malia , flipping on his back as if to say “Come on, one more bellyrub”. Thank you Malia for the pics and for taking great care of our Arlo!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Costa on Rover is $55.5 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 5,417 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Costa. 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.
93% of Port Costa 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 Port Costa 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 Port Costa 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 Port Costa.
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 Port Costa 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.
