“We were a little nervous leaving our puppy, but Alexis made us feel completely comfortable. She took such great care of Nala and was incredibly attentive—especially outside, making sure she didn’t put anything in her mouth. That meant a lot to us. The updates and photos were great, and Nala came back happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Alexis again!”
“Ann B was amazing with my dog and was able to get him to do things that I haven't been able to do. He is usually a very anxious dog but she was able to provide a calm and reassuring environment for him that made him feel right at home.”
“This was our dog’s third stay with Serena and it was for three weeks while we were out of the country. We have complete confidence in Serena’s competent and loving care. She provided daily pictures and updates. Our dog was walked daily and special attention was paid on New Year’s Eve when our pup was fearful of fireworks. Serena goes the extra mile to provide top notch care. Her love for dogs shows in the care she provides.”
“Remi had a great time and was well taken care of! Rachel was also very accommodating with drop off when our train was running behind schedule- much appreciated :) highly recommend”
“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”
“Laura always makes me feel comfortable leaving my furry friend with her when we go on trips . She always sends me pics so I can see how my pet is doing. It is comforting knowing my pet is in good hands with Laura. Thanks again, Laura! Until next time 😁”
“Nelly was wonderful with our pup Dexter. She was super communicative and gave us multiple updates on how he was doing each day. As well, he had been recovering from a bout of nausea a few days prior, and she was great at getting him to eat again and return to his full, energetic, chipper self. Would definitely recommend Nelly for dog sitting and we'll be returning to her again in the future!”
“Ekaterina was absolutely lovely. I could tell the moment I dropped my Lucky off that Kate just adores dogs. Her daughter was respectful and sweet and I was so happy my old lady was taken such good care of. Lucky was safe healthy and happy upon pick up. I think Kate is a lovely sitter and a lovely person and I would trust her with my pride and joy, Lucky, any time.”
“Pranavi was amazing! She was so responsive with our dog Sky! She kept us updated throughout her stay, giving us tons of photos and videos. We were so glad that Sky had friends to play with and Pranavi has a great backyard! We are so happy that we would love to use her again in the future!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets, I bring a lifetime of compassion, patience and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I am a former SPCA volunteer providing dog socialization and rescue transport, which has provided me experience and training with dogs of different ages, personalities and behavioral needs. I'm comfortable caring for energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention and gentle care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, medication or simply a loving person by their side, I'm committed to providing safe, dependable and personalized care while giving you peace of mind. I am available for short and long term boarding as well as daycare. I am also available for evening weeknight walks and all day on the weekends. When your pet stays with me they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where pets can relax, play and receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with lots of toys for play and enrichment. I'm pet first aid and CPR certified, and carry pet sitter's insurance, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in responsible hands. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“Madeline was incredibly flexible and completely professional for our dog. Her communication was great, we received plenty of updates. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Kierstin took exceptional care of our dogs, Maddie and Tank. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in a safe, loving environment. I received daily updates and adorable photos that showed how much they were enjoying their stay. Her attention to detail and the affection she and her family gave our pets were truly heartwarming. I definitely plan to use her services again whenever we need them. Highly recommend!”
About: I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and own a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel I adore. I pay attention to his needs and make sure he’s well-fed, clean and tail-wagging and care for him just like I do with my human child. I will do the same with your furry companion and promise them a good time. I’m currently teleworking for the most part and will be able to make drop-in visits and walk your dog during my lunch or breaks and after 5 as well as have your pet over in my house. I have a fenced backyard and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves other dogs and humans. We walk twice a day and play fetch or other games throughout the day.
“Avina took our high energy pups last minute and was very good at communicating, as always, and sent pictures and even made and edited a video of the dogs on their walk. We felt at ease and got to relax during our time away with the constant updates. Thanks Avina!”
“So glad we found Melissa on Rover and had her watch our Daisy while we were on vacation. She and her children were so good with our Daisy! They sent pictures and videos and took her for walks. We definitely recommend Melissa and will use her again!”
“Spencer was a pleasure to work with! One of our dogs is more hesitant around new people and he appeared to do well with Spencer. Spencer also provided daily updates and photos. Since being home for a couple of days now, we think our dogs miss Spencer!! We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family, and will be rebooking in the future for our out of town adventures!”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”

Melissa is an awesome caregiver. Her home is cozy and her kids are playful with my German shepherd. I received updates daily while I was abroad. Totally 10/10, would recommend for anyone to trust with care with your furry friend. Brownie points for her for being so flexible at the last minute to accommodate my little guy. Thank you again for your help!
Coryn always does such a wonderful job taking care of Nova! Nova always leaves tired but happy & I can tell she genuinely enjoys being there. This was Nova’s second time staying with Coryn for a week & I know we will choose her to watch Nova again every time we have a vacation! Thank you, Coryn!!
Colleen is great! She and her partner take wonderful care of my senior dog, Bailey, and have been understanding and accommodating of Bailey’s increasing needs due to her age. Colleen always follows all of my care instructions, sends pictures and updates, and asks clarifying questions to make sure that Bailey is comfortable and well taken care of. She is also extremely reliable regarding booking and pick up/drop off arrangements, which is so helpful. I really appreciate the peace of mind in knowing that my pup is well taken care of when I need to travel.
Jataveya accepted our last minute request to watch our dog Phoebe over the weekend. I appreciated her quick response and continued communication as we coordinated dropping her off and picking her back up. She stayed in communication with us while we were out of town, letting us know how Phoebe was doing. I would recommend her to others.
Cliff was wonderful with our dog. It was our first time using Rover and he made our worries subside by meeting him first and going over what their day would look like. Finn enjoyed many days at the park, river and playing with other dogs. Cliff sent messages and pictures through his 19 day stay. Do not hesitate to hire Cliff!
Jamie did a great job taking care of our Goldendoodle while we were away on vacation! She was very responsive with messages and sent a few pictures and updates while we were away. We were able to schedule a meet & greet before our trip which was great. Jamie has a beautiful home with an awesome backyard for the dogs to have fun in. We definitely trust Jamie to take care of Cooper again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rancho Cordova is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $67 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,699 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rancho Cordova. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Rancho Cordova 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 Rancho Cordova 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 Rancho Cordova.
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 Rancho Cordova 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.
