Honestly I’m at a loss of words with how amazing Mel is. We were beyond scared to board our puppy and almost canceled our trip but with the reviews and how prompt he was with replying, we decided to try it. I’m so glad we did, 1000/10 would recommend.

About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.

5 stars isn't a high enough review for Kiana and her family! They did such an amazing job with Toby. We got so many pictures and videos throughout the whole visit and everytime it looked like he was so comfortable with them and having fun. I couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely book with her again.

Nadine and Louie were incredibly kind with my pet. My baby felt completely at home, and they were super flexible with all the schedule changes I had due to unexpected issues. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby.

Excellent service and very professional! She always kept me informed about how my little dog was doing and sent me photos. Blacki came back very happy after staying at her caregiver’s home. I’m truly grateful for the loving and patient care she gave my baby. I highly recommend her services 💯

Laurel was just the kind of sitter we needed! I am new to town and needed to travel for work. She met with me and Oliver within a day and I felt assured he’d be in great hands. Her home is comfortable and clean, with a great yard for the dogs. Highly recommend!

Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra

I'm so thankful we found Veronica on Rover.com. She took excellent care of our elderly cocker spaniel. She was very patient with his medical issues and was willing to administer his medication each day. Veronica sent photos and updates while we were gone. We loved seeing how our boy was doing. I highly recommend her dog sitting services.

Tania is both flexible and great! She stepped in when a prescheduled sitter proved to be unreliable. She took great care of Tobi and sent frequent photos/updates. She communicates well and was very helpful when scheduling drop and pick up. Highly recommended!

Definitely would recommend Carola, she has so much love for dogs and you can tell she enjoys taking care of them. She treated our 5 month old puppy as it was her own, she kept us updated throughout the boarding with pictures and videos. I can tell that our dog enjoyed spending time with her and playing with his new furry friends.

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!

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.

Gail was a pleasure to work with! She is just a sweetheart and makes you feel totally comfortable to leave your loved one with her. She sent us pictures throughout the whole stay with her and updated us on how our mini poodle is feeling the entire time. She was easy to communicate with as well when booking and coordinating the drop off and pick up. Would totally recommend anyone to use her.

This was our first time using Rover I had only left our Schatzi with family when we go out of town so I was unsure how the experience would be. Hands down to Alex our Schatzi was in the best hands he had such a great time. Alex took great care of him for 6 nights she sent picture updates she is very welcoming and made sure our dog was loved.

FAQs for Boarding - Porterville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Porterville on Rover is $35.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 80 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.
