Aron did a great job caring for our dog! He is so comfortable and calm around dogs and we appreciated that he wanted to meet our dog before committing to make sure he would be a good fit. Very caring and definitely has a way with dogs!

Ruby watched my pup while I was away and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure my boy felt comfortable and safe in my absence. Throughout the time I was away,, Ruby provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which made me feel at ease and reassured that my pet was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will certainly be booking again for my next trip!

I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!

Nicole and Jarrod have watched my pup several times and have always taken such great care of him. They are patient and kind, great communicators and I can tell that they genuinely care and treat Mac as part of the family. In addition, they are just awesome people. I feel really lucky that I found Nicole and family - can't recommend them highly enough!

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.

Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!

About: I love dogs, I love cats, and truly all animals. I treat every pet as family, offering dependable care, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Mornings start with feeding, walks (if needed), and playtime. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, short walks, and attention. Evenings include dinner, exercise, and cuddles before a final bathroom break. Since I’m home often, your pet will get frequent companionship, and I can stick to their usual routine—whether that’s medication, training, or extra play. Weekends allow for longer adventures like park visits or extended play sessions. In My Home: I provide a pet-friendly space with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, and cozy rest areas. Your pet gets constant attention, safe socialization (if approved), and a structured routine. I have 10+ acres of space to allow your pets to be free to have fun. In Client’s Home: I follow your pet’s normal schedule (meals, walks, meds) and keep their environment familiar. Includes updates, litter/yard cleanup, and extra cuddles to reduce stress while you’re away.

Words cannot express our gratitude to Deborah! We were looking to pull off a beach getaway for our baby and 2 dogs. As the dogs were not allowed at the hotel we had to find a sitter. Deborah is truly a wonderful, kind, gifted human being and anyone would be lucky to know her or have her care for their four-legged friend ! Her house is top notch as she we got to see where our dogs would be hanging out over night. Beautiful home and perfectly set up. She sent us photos throughout our time apart and reassured us everything was going smoothly. Deborah also has 2 other dogs and introduced them to ours upon arrival one at a time making sure they would get along. I truly know once Deborah is taking care of ours or anyone's dogs t hey can be worry free. Hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Deborah.

From the moment I met Lynn I knew she would take very good care of my 4 month old lab puppy and she did not disappoint! She definitely has a love and special gift with dogs; she is a true dog whisper! Lynn kept in contact with me and sent numerous pictures daily. She also gave me tips on training and worked with my girl while she was in her care for 6 days. I know my puppy was well taken care of and loved on! I highly recommend Lynn and will certainly use her in the future!

FAQs for Boarding - Rough and Ready

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rough and Ready on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 429 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rough and Ready. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rough and Ready 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 Rough and Ready 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 Rough and Ready 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 Rough and Ready.

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 Rough and Ready 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.
