“Luis and Vivian are very friendly and caring. They were easy to communicate with and helpful in accommodating our schedule. Our dog was very happy to stay with them, and we'll be sure to reach out again if we need a petsitter in the future!”
“Lauren was excellent, accommodating and so caring with my reactive foster dog. I loved getting regular updates and could see how happy and safe Daisy was with her. I’d definitely board with her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Michelle is fantastic! She took good care of my dog, which includes feeding him daily medication and treats. She took him on walks next to the bay and send me periodic updates. 5/5 would recommend.”
“We are confident that our pup is in good hands with Manny. Thank you for taking good care of her, giving her plenty of walks, access to your backyard, and companionship with your pup. And for the photos too.”
“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.”
“Very friendly lady. She LOVES dogs. Lovely, large yard for my dog to play in and a family style vacation for my dog. He got to play with her dogs and seemed very happy when we picked him up! Thanks Sally.”
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around animals. From rescuing and taking in strays with my mom to taking care of our 6 crazy doggos, animals hold a big place in my heart. Now, I try to spend my time filling the void while I am away from home, and hope to make and meet as many furry friends as I can. I am well experienced in animal care with large and small pets, and have past experiences in dog obedience. I love to hike and take the scenic routes, and I never run out of energy! I can’t wait to meet you and more importantly your pup! I’m currently in school, but my schedule is very manageable and easy to work around. I have ample amounts of free time during mornings. As well as evenings, on select days, right after your pups dinner time and just before sunsets! Now believe me when I say this, I know how much your pet means to you. They are not just our pets, they are our family. And I know just how scary it can be to trust others with your pet. But with that in mind, know that when your pet is with me, I treat them like they are my own. By providing endless love and protection, your pet is always in safe hands.
About: Hi! I’m one of those people who can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. If I see a dog while I’m out, I’m probably the person asking, “Can I pet your dog?” My child is exactly the same way! We’re both naturally drawn to dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Three of my own dogs were with me for 16, 16, and 18 years, and they truly became members of the family. I understand how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them when we can’t be there. Our current dog, Pancake, is a rescue and a small, friendly girl who enjoys having company. She’s an important part of our family and will be your pup’s little host during their stay! I also volunteered at two animal shelters, where I spent time caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am patient, attentive, and respectful of each dog’s individual temperament. I have a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. My home is a good fit for dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. Because I have a child at home 50% of the time, your dog must be comfortable and safe around children. I also want every dog who stays here to feel comfortable with Pancake, so I take introductions and meet-and-greets seriously. ❤️ What I Want for Your Dog I want your dog to feel like they are staying in a home where they are genuinely cared for, not simply being dropped off somewhere for the night. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, favorite things, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup wants to run around the yard, play with Pancake, follow us around the house, or curl up somewhere cozy, I’ll respect their individual personality. During their stay, I’ll provide: 🐾 A comfortable home environment 🐾 A large, fully fenced yard 🐾 Regular potty breaks and outdoor time 🐾 Attention, companionship, and affection 🐾 Meals according to your instructions 🐾 Their normal routine as much as possible 🐾 Photo updates so you can see how they’re doing 🌿 New to Rover, Not New to Caring for Dogs I’m just getting started on Rover, so I’m offering introductory pricing while I build my profile and get to know local families. While I’m new to Rover, caring for dogs is something I’ve been doing throughout my life. I’m looking forward to getting to know some wonderful dogs and their people and hopefully becoming someone you feel comfortable calling whenever you need a home away from home for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see if we’re a good fit! 🐶❤️ I’m available for boarding at evenings and weekends. All-day-Thursdays are also available. Walks from 6-7 a.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays Walks from 5-6 p.m. or 6-7 p.m. - Mondays and Tuesdays My yard is fully fenced, my dog is friendly, and the dogs will be welcome inside the home and on furniture as well. I really want them to feel they are in they home-away-form-home
“We re-booked with Iris for an overnight stay. Our pup had a fun time playing with Bacon, and taking walks in the neighborhood. It was reassuring to receive updates and photos from Iris; very attentive sitter.”
“Val is AMAZING! My little fur baby had such a great time with her. She sent the most amazing picture while I was away and it made leaving her a little easier. Val shares with you her Rover Instagram account and you are able to see all the fun your pup is having while in her care. I would definitely recommend her to any of my close friends, she provides PREMIUM services! Again thank you so much Val!”
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and comfortable following feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care instructions. I’ll treat your dog with care and respect, keep you updated, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, and I can follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a comfortable apartment with a good-sized patio and access to a dog park inside my apartment community for walks, exercise, and playtime. I also have a very friendly and loving Golden Retriever who enjoys having other dogs around. I always supervise pets carefully, follow the owner’s instructions, and make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Port Costa is $75
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Costa
Iris gave Griz the sweetest adventures every day — from his neighbor strolls to making a new buddy in Bacon. Her home is safe, warm, and welcoming, and we loved looking forward to the daily pictures she sent. Iris is patient, kind, and so thoughtful. We’re truly grateful for her care and highly recommend her.
Mellise took excellent care of our 6 mo old poodle puppy, Bella, for 7 days. She expertly navigated when Bella became home sick and lethargic, kept us in the loop with photos and updates, and made exceptional accommodations for Bella’s puppy temperament, keeping her close for snuggles. I highly recommend.
Zachary and Jennifer I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the incredible care you gave Brooklyn while I was away. Knowing she was in such good hands made all the difference for me during my work trip. I truly appreciate how communicative you were- the updates and photos were such a comfort. See g her happy hanging out with Shelby absolutely melted my heart (I think I might have fallen I. Love with Shelby, too!) It’s clear you treat dogs you watch like family and that means the world to me. You’ve definitely earned my trust, and I can confidently say I’ll using your services for all my future travel and work events 💕
Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!
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!
We had a situation where our other dog sitter became unavailable midway during our trip, and we needed to look for someone to look after our dog with just 2 days notice during the holidays season! Linda responded to our request promptly and even accommodated a quick meet-and-greet for our comfort. During the stay, she sent regular updates, with pics/videos and we could easily see that our dog was quite happy and comfortable around Linda! Thank you so much Linda!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Port Costa home-away-from-home, 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.
