“Lea is amazing. She took wonderful care of my Riley! I've never left him with sitter before & I was anxious but she put me at ease & Riley was happy with her. I would recommend Leah to anyone!”
“Cindy took Dante on last minute and was super communicative. She gave him genuine care and love and that means so much to me and my pup, since he gets social anxiety. The photos she sent were PRECIOUS. So grateful to have found Cindy! She even sent detailed updates about how well he was eating and proactively asked if he had any health issues.”
“Moose was in such great hands with Pam! The daily text updates with photos & videos were very appreciated. Pam was very communicative throughout the stay. It was clear that Moose was getting lots of love, attention, and exercise with his new friends! We will be back soon!”
“Su is very sweet, Winston was clearly comfortable immediately. Very communicative, lots of photos, and flexible on pickup and dropoff. Will definitely rebook next time we need at home stay for our pup!”
“Robin and Dan are so loving and caring with our nervous pup Blanca. Their level of care and attention is unmatched—we are so lucky to be their clients and can’t wait for Blanca’s next visit.”
“Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!”
“This was our boys' first overnight boarding stay. We received daily updates and they seemed comfortable and happy while they were there. Looking forward to their next visit.”
“Diana cared for my two pups Angel and Winston for 4 days while I was away. She and her family were amazing! As soon as I met her I felt entirely comfortable leaving my pups in her care even though this was my first time leaving them. Diana is an ideal fit for them because she provides an environment close to what they're used to: in particular, no other pets and someone present most of the time. She paid close attention to particulars as we talked, such as meds for one of my pups, likes and dislikes, routines, etc. She was flexible when I was running late to drop them off and flexible with a slightly open-ended pickup time. I got a bunch of photos and updates while I was gone and just always felt at ease. Cutest of all, when I picked them up, her charming son chatted about their time together, describing my dogs' idiosyncracies back to me in detail! It's so obvious that they really enjoy hosting dogs and just give amazing care. 100% will book again.”
“Shadow loves staying with Lihuan! She is extremely attentive to his schedule and he loves going for walks with her. When we dropped him off, he races to her with tail wagging! Thanks again!❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kendal. My dog has many quirks and she noted them attentively and was able to make him feel at ease in her home. We also were able to relax knowing he was in her care. We are grateful we found her and will definitely be calling her again!”
“Mia was amazing with our puppy. She sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. She cared for our dog like she was her own. We felt very comfortable with leaving our dog with her and her family. We would definitely have Mia watch our puppy again!! She was amazing.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”
“Ka Yan was great with our dogs. She agreed to meet with us before our scheduled date so we could make sure our anxious dog would be comfortable. Our dog is afraid of everything and everyone and Ka Yan was able to build his trust in a short amount of time. She kept us informed of how our dogs were doing through out the day by sending us pictures and videos. I would definitely rebook with her.”
“Tinwa & Josie were wonderful. I decided last minute to change my boarding plans for our out of town weekend and go with them and they were very accommodating on meet and greet time to get to know my girls. They asked all the right questions and really understood my anxiety with a new sitter. Well I don’t need a “new” sitter anymore as these two fabulous beings are now part of our girls family. Even my very shaky chiwennie calmed down and settled in very quickly after we dropped them for their stay. We received very regular updates and pictures, and my girls looked very content in all of them. I highly recommend Tinwa and Josie. Their love and desire to provide a safe and loving stay is apparent and appreciated! And as a dog sitter myself, that is the ultimate goal!”
“Judi has been fantastic with our two boxer girls! We’ve used her services multiple times and always feel confident that they’re in great hands. She provides frequent updates, is highly responsive, and takes wonderful care of them. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Judi!.”
“Alisha is the best dog sitter ever!!! She took care of our dog for 10 days straight and we couldn’t be happier. I feel like my dog went on vacation, not me ? We are definitely going to use Alisha’s services in the near future again.”
“We love having Jackie and her family watch our dog Charlotte. They treat her like family and always go above and beyond to take care of her. Charlotte always seems very happy to go there which makes us feel very good.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Russell City is €75

Baxter had a great time with Adrienne and her family, and I had peace of mind knowing he was being cared for so well! I really appreciated Adrienne’s clear communications and attention to the details of Baxter’s routine before his stay and enjoyed getting the regular photos and updates. It was clear that Baxter felt very much at home. Huge thanks!
Kimberly went above and beyond for my senior dog while I was away for a long weekend. My sweet boy Ace is 18, so he doesn’t do much other than sleep! However he does have lots of health issues and is a really picky eater, so I was nervous to leave him. But Kimberly made me feel so much better while I was away. When he didn’t want the food I’d sent him with, she shared some of her own dog food and even cooked some other things for him that he liked. When he had an accident and fell into his poop (he has very weak legs from arthritis), she gave him a bath. She sent updates throughout the day every day and it was such a comfort to me knowing what good care she was taking of my sweet old man. I would happily book her services again! Highly recommend!
Darian took great care of our dog and provided regular updates with pictures. She had a great time with him and was well exercised and happy when we got her back. I also love that he only takes one dog at a time, you know your dog is getting lots of one on one attention and you don't need to worry about them being stressed out by some other dog being boarded. I will be happy to use Darian as a dog sitter again in the future.
Rashmi was super accommodating and made the whole experience stress free. Our flight kept getting delayed, so we couldn’t pick up our dog until after midnight. Despite the late hour, she was incredibly understanding and didn’t mind at all. Both the drop off and pick up process were easy and convenient. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Rashmi and would definitely trust her with my dog again!
Katie took amazing care of Happy while we were away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m very particular about who cares for Happy and rarely leave him with anyone, so finding someone I could fully trust meant so much to me. From the moment I met Katie, I felt at ease. She treated him like one of her own and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Happy had an incredible time playing, exploring, and making new friends. It was obvious from the photos, videos, and updates that he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, content, and completely at home. I would absolutely leave Happy with Katie again and again. In fact, I already know I’ll be reaching out to her in the future. Thank you, Katie, for taking such wonderful care of my baby boy and for making this such a positive experience for both of us. And a special thank you to Elsa for her sweet companionship and for sharing these days with Happy—I’m sure he’ll miss her very much...🫶🤗🐾
OMG, I cant say enough about Yorleth!! She was the Best! She took Hefner to the marina and sent pix, he looked so happy having fun :) I will definitely re book with Yorleth-She is a true doggie lover. I always get good sitters with Rover, but, Yorleth was by FAR the Best and My Favorite!!!
Balto was in good hands with Ari & I appreciate him accepting my last minute request! It was my first time booking with rover & leaving Balto with a sitter so the photos & video updates I received were helpful to put my mind at ease & enjoy my time away with family. They all loved the photo with Balto’s smile 😃big plus that he only watches one dog at a time too as Balto is reactive with other animals.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Russell City is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $73 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Russell City 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 Russell City 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 Russell City.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Russell City. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Russell City 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
