“Luis took great care of our dog. He seemed happy in every update I received during our trip.I can tell he really enjoys taking care of dogs and will definitely use him again if the need arises.”
“Our sweet and energetic German Shepard puppy stayed with Stefanie for 3 nights and had the time of her life. Stefanie sent pictures and communicated our nerves away. Not only was our doggie in good hands being fed and cared for, but she had fun and that meant a lot to us. We will definitely be using Stefanie again in the future.”
“Not only is Peter beyond personable and caring, but it’s clear how much he loves dogs and how good he is with them. Super communicative and sent me updates and photos throughout my trip. Highly recommend!!”
“If you are looking for an EXCELLENT sitter for your dog, don't hesitate to book with Deborah! We have one dog with some special problems and Deborah was a champ with her. We got multiple pictures and updates on how they were doing through out the day. Our babies came home happy, healthy, and exhausted, so we know they had a great time. Thank you Deborah for watching our babies without us having to worry about them. BOOK WITH DEBORAH YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!”
“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.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience having Amanda and Michell watch our Lucy. We’d never left a pet with strangers before, and they couldn’t have made the process more comfortable. Amanda sent daily photos and a brief note on what they did that day. Lucy got to go on many long walks and hikes, and really became part of their family. At the end of her stay, we received a report card on Lucy’s behavior, which was the cutest thing ever. Without hesitation, I’d use Amanda and Michell again, and highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Ying! She took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated every day with photos and details about his walks and activities. Our dog is a picky eater, and she even went above and beyond to prepare homemade meals for him! What impressed us most was how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. He showed no signs of separation anxiety, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It’s clear that he absolutely adores her! Ying is incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I had a very positive experience with Chen boarding my pup Bernie for a few days. Bernie is a well behaved dog, but he has a few needs that Chen took on willingly. He also took the time to meet with me and Bernie ahead to make sure all his needs were understood. It is clear to me that Chen loves pets and treats them with care. He sent me many updates reflecting his attention to Bernie's comfort and sense of feeling at home and with family. He also sent many stellar photos. Chen has a real talent there and I think also shows his adoration of the pets he cares for. Chen and his family were kind and warm to me and to Bernie and I reccomend him for you.”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“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.”

“Lisa was an excellent caretaker for our two dogs. She and her family treated them like part of the family - maybe even better! We could enjoy our vacation and received the right number of updates and photos while we were gone - Lisa was always available to answer any questions too. I will 1000% rebook with Lisa the next time we need to leave our pups.”
“Ross, Melissa, and Millie were the best sitters we could ask for! We received constant photo updates and they loved on our pups as if they were their own! Our dogs were sad to leave and we could tell from all the photos, walks, and adventures that they had an absolute blast. Would absolutely rebook again when we are out of town and need a sitter!”
“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“This was my dog’s first time in a new home, and Marilu made me feel completely at ease. She took so much time and care to make sure my dog felt welcomed and comfortable. I truly appreciated the daily updates and photos—seeing my dog so happy and relaxed meant the world to me. Marilu has such a kind and loving soul, and her two dogs are some of the friendliest I've ever met. She did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter. She's awesome!”

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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Port Costa is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Port Costa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Port Costa.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
