“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“Erin was a great sitter for my dog Gigi. She was very professional and sent me lots of updates/pictures. Erin has 2 dogs that got along just fine with mine. I will continue to use her. It’s a great feeling to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away. 5 stars.”
“Melissa was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! From the start, I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos. It made me so happy to see her tail wagging, going on walks, and playing. It was clear she was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoying her time. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who is both reliable and caring!”
“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.”
“Dejoure was amazing. I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her for couple days. She sent me updates and reassured me that he was fine each day. Would highly recommend.”
“Great communication. Our dogs did really well with them. One of our dogs unexpectedly hurt his back a few days before our boarding. We were happy to find his condition actually improved after boarding with them. We’re relieved they seemed well taken care of. Will definitely use Rachel and Jason again.”
“Sherri is fantastic. She is always very friendly to us and our pups. She takes care of our fur babies very well every time and they always love to see her! I definitely recommend her as your pet sitter as she will treat them as her own and treat them with loveand respect 🙂.”
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and me and my partner, Brandon, are home everyday. This gives us plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine.
“We were looking for a last minute dog sitter and we're very grateful Nicole was able to accommodate us. This will be the first time our pup will be away from home. She was very communicative, she gave us updates, and sent photos of our pup. Her flexibility to pick her up and drop her off was a plus. She's very sweet and assured our pup is in good hands. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Nicole for taking good care of our pup 🐶”
“I recommend friends, family and everyone if you need dog Sitter, D is the one. Best at his job. Took care of my two precious pups as his own. We are looking forward for our pups to spend more time with uncle D.”
“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 😁”
“Julie took the best care of my rat dog Cookie. Having an introduction a few days before made me feel at ease leaving Cookie in Julie's care. Julie also sent photo updates every other day if not every day. Julie was also incredibly responsive via the DogVacay app and text. I highly recommend Julie for you and your best fur friend(s)!”

“Nancy is a fantastic sitter! She is so attentive and took such great care of Frankie. It was our first time using her services and she made sure that not only I, but my dog, felt comfortable before the stay and during the entirety of it. She’s on top of her communication and I loved seeing how well cared for Frankie was while we were gone. Will definitely work with her again in the future. Thank you, Nancy!”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little anxious about leaving Bentley with someone I didn’t know. She really helped ease my worries from the start. She even let me stop by earlier in the week to meet her and make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. Bentley stayed with her for three nights and seemed to do great! She kept me updated with photos during his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He came home happy and seemed to have been well cared for. I’m so glad we found her and would definitely have Bentley stay with her again!”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”

Tanzina is the BEST! I was anxious leaving my senior dog with a sitter for the first time, but Tanzina was able to let him feel at home. She sent frequent pictures and my dog looked so happy! Frequent walks, sun bathing, people watching through the window, everything! Would definitely book again ❤️
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 ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rio Linda is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 1,654 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rio Linda. 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 Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda 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 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 , 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.
