“Lety is amazing! This was the first time I left Duke overnight and he did so good! Lety made sure to send updates about Duke throughout the day, and each day. I will definitely be booking again!”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
About: My love for pets from a young age was so great that I willed my intense asthma and allergies to animals away by growing up with my childhood Jack Russell Terrier, Dash. For the canines, I have trained high anxiety reactive apartment dogs. and successfully established trust and security and worked together on their fears. For the felines, I adapt to their level of desired attention and mental fitness and remain as a constant presence - I don’t assume that they’re independent to be left on their own just because they are cats. I look forward to getting to know your companions and providing them a vacation too as you embark on your own~ I currently work full time (more detail in photos) and have a flexible hybrid work schedule to give your animals the attention they need and deserve. My fenced yard is secured and locked, so your dogs can roam freely in the yard (photos provided for more detail of the environment your doggos would be in)
“This was my first time using Kazue and I couldn’t be happier .. she took such great care of my Mitzi! Kazue kept me updated with messages and pictures so I could see how my girl was doing. Will definitely use Kazue again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and attentive pet sitter!”
“Erin is a very loving doggy sitter. I can go away and feel my dog is in good hands. Erin sends two updates daily along with pictures. She has 2 dogs, who my dog gets along with just fine. I highly recommend Erin”
“Bonnie provided wonderful care for my two-year old lab mix Marcie. She made her part one of her very loving family of humans and pets for the long weekend! I had adopted Marcie only two months ago--it was the first time I left her overnight--and Bonnie made me feel very comfortable with her texts and pics of Marcie having fun. Highly recommended.”
“Grisel was amazing! It was Bran’s first time being boarded through Rover so we had our initial worries about how he would do. Grisel’s updates and photos of him were something that we looked forward to everyday, she sent so many updates on his playing, feeding and walking time and was very understanding of his occasional shyness. We will definitely be booking her services again the next time we are out of town! I am so happy and relieved that we made a good choice for our first rover experience.”
“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”
“Melissa was very patient and flexible with my dog and with our booking. I had to shorten the time which she was understandable about. I also learned my dog was a bit out of sorts on his first night and she was patient with him and sent lots of reassuring pictures and videos😊”

“Doh was an excellent communicator for our first time experience with Rover. Louie was in good hands with extra playmates and she treated him like he was her own dog. I would highly recommend Doh to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“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.”
“Our first time being away from our tiny Yorkie, and Susan and Irv did a great job. When she refused to eat they ended up hand feeding her and wouldn’t rest until they found something she would eat. We will definitely book Susan and Irv for future pet sits.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and luckily Martha accepted my request. She did a meet and greet the same day I submitted my request and asked a lot of questions about the care and schedule for my pup which made me feel reassured. During the stay Martha was very responsive and gave frequent updates with pictures and videos which I appreciated! When I picked up my pup she was very happy and healthy! I would definitely book again!”
“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“Alexxa was above and beyond expectations with our young puppy. Because of his age, I was a bit nervous to leave him. Alexxa was a committed, communicative and flexible sitter who accepted a late, holiday weekend Hail Mary request to board for an event that arose. She made a stressful day positive by providing photo and text updates and reassurance that Ham (the puppy) was settling in fine after drop off. Really truly in good hands with Alexxa and company. Ham came back tired, happy from play and his normal self. Somehow completely on his normal schedule with zero change. Would happily book again given the him he got outdoors, around a safe family that talked to him (the dog likes words of affirmation haha). 10/10 dog boarding you won’t regret.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Rio Linda is $56

Really appreciate Natalie and Chau for accomodating my request to extend my pet Churro's stay. Our flight home was cancelled and couldn't pick him up in time, and they were very supportive and guided me through the process of getting a new booking. Highly recommended.
Markita is an absolute angel. We had a last minute booking request due to an emergency and she was able to accommodate Brownie while we were away. We are so grateful for her and our dog adores her and has so much fun. Although he was happy to go home, he made sure to tell her goodbye which he has never done with anyone else. Needless to say we will be booking her again ☺️
Tanzina was great at sending photos and updates periodically. The issue I had was that she bathed and groomed my dog without prior consent. She did this within the first few hours after dropping the dog off so I felt uncomfortable with her decision making. I had given her a bath the night before so it was not necessary and not good for her skin. Tanzina mentioned the harness was difficult to get on and my dog didn’t “like it” which suggests that maybe she is not as experienced with dogs. Overall my dog is healthy and back home but I don’t think I would book again.

Every sitter on Rover 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.
95% of Rio Linda sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda.
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 Rio Linda 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.
