“We (including our dachshund Monty!) absolutely loved working with Nadine and Louie. They were gentle and welcoming and took such good care of our dog moving through a period of anxiety. We're so grateful to connect with them and will be returning.”
“Laurel cared for our two dogs, and everything went great. She's very good at sending pictures and videos, so you know your babies are well cared for. Her house and yard feel very secure, as far as dogs getting out of the yard. I highly recommend Laurel and will hopefully use her again.”
“Thank you for taking good care of gizmo. You kept me up to date with him and were so patient with him with his eating and his bathroom breaks. Thank you for grooming him and we love all the pictures! We will definitely use you again for our fur baby!”
“Patty is great to work with - I had a couple of unexpected changes to the booking and she was terrific about accomodating them. She also has good "cat sense" and reads cat behavior well. My kitty seemed to have a great time on her little vacation and the pictures Patty sent of her were charming. I will definitely book another visit when needed.”

“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“This was my first time ever using a dog sitter and I was blown away at how amazing Anissa was with taking care of our dog! She was great at communicating and sending us photos of our dog everyday! If you ever need a dog sitter please pick her because she made us feel so at ease knowing our dog was in good hands! Highly recommend her! Thanks Anissa :)”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”
“I left my little dude with Jose and was extremely satisfied with how Oliver was taken care of! He sent me videos and photos everyday and catered to my special guy’s needs. I knew he was well taken care of and 100/10 will book again”
About: I have over 10 + years caring for my own animals and 3+ years doing it professionally for others. I am currently offering pet sitting in your home, daily check ins, and dog walking services. Can also preform bathing. I have experience caring for birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. Excellent references available upon request. I am a long time animal lover and started caring for ducks at a young age. When I go older I begged my dad for a dog. My first dog was rescued from the streets as it seemed to be abandoned. Since then I have developed a passion for animals and taking care of them. I am currently pursuing a career in the animal field where I hope to become a vet tech.
“Kiana did such a great job watching our dogs! They were so well loved, and she sent us great photos and videos of their visit. Kiana was such a pleasure to work with as well. I would give more than five stars if I could, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a few years. I have two dogs, a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Maltese. They showed me responsibility and patience. I have a flexible schedule. I am available at any time of the week, given I have a lot of free time. I can watch your pet as early as seven am. I will hang out with them if they want to relax or sleep. I’ll be delighted to keep them entertained if they want to play. I also will make sure they won’t break anything when I’m caring for them.
“Juliann was great with our dog Phyllo. It was my first time being away from my puppy and I was a bit worried, but felt much better when she sent me a lot of picture updates. If I'm ever in town again I'll definitely take Phyllo back to her.”
“Ashley is great! She’s very good at communicating while she’s in the care of our fur baby! I genuinely feel that Bailey was happy and felt at home. I will definitely book with her in the future! Thank you Ashley!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Porterville on Rover is $37.74 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 82 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Porterville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Porterville 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 Porterville.
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 Porterville 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.
