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.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased to have found Louie! I am so grateful that I was able to take my family vacation and be at peace with my dog being well taken care of. I especially appreciate the photos and updates I received. Thanks so much Louie and Nadine!”

“Thank you Laurel for taking care of our Lilly!! The videos and pictures you sent helped my deportation anxiety lol. Thank you for your loving home and arms. You are appreciated!”

“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”

“We had a great experience with carola watching our dog! Shes a German Shepard who is a very nervous dog and we’ve had a really hard time finding somewhere to board her and we were so happy with how well she did with carola. It’s nice to now have someone we can count on to watch her when we need!”

“Diana was wonderful with my dog, Blue! She took him in on a short notice and gave him so much love and attention. I could tell he felt right at home. She kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany was the BEST! Great and timely communication. Updated me and sent me pictures of my baby having so much fun with her family and her pups! I highly recommend her and will be reaching out again! Thank you again for having my baby over for a sleepover! 🩵”

“Sarah has watched our dogs twice overnight now. Sarah is dependable (which is something we’ve struggled with with other sitters on Rover). I forgot to message ahead and remind her we were coming yesterday but she remembered. Our dogs were happy to come back, which the best part. She listens to what you ask for with caring for your fur babies. We will continue to book with her.”

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.

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.
