“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection while following their normal routine. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, companionship, and other pet-care needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each pet parent. I give pets plenty of attention while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
“We had a great experience with Michael. He was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. After we picked our dog up, she was whimpering in her sleep, which she only does after she's had a good workout and is feeling satisfied.”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Bari and her family were amazing! They came highly recommended and I can tell why. Herbie had the best time, got tons of walks and play time, plus lots of snuggles. Would definitely recommend Bari to anyone and will be booking again.”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
About: I have owned dogs most of my life from a Doberman pinscher to a chowchow to an Australian cattle dog and a couple cats throughout my life. I love animals! I no longer have our latest family Australian cattle dog who was with us for 17 years and miss being around animals. I am an independent contractor in real estate so I can set my own hours. I’m very flexible! I love to get out and walk a lot for exercise for myself as well! I give them lots of love and attention that they need. Play with them and make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well fed at their eating time
“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!”
“Esther and Bill are two amazing people. To think that another could love my little Dal baby like I do, was unimaginable till I met Esther and Bill. Esther and Bill will forever be engrained in the fabric of our lives! Thank you both for being truly amazing❤️?”
“We loved the care and treatment Angie got from Brandee. Brandee kept us informed about her well being and sent us pictures and videos. Will use her services again.”
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Thank you for being the first people to take care of our little Maxine while we took a trip. She was so well taken care of, they shared pictures to let us know how she was doing, they communicated well with us!”
“Stout had a great time with Joel! We loved the text, pic, and video updates about Stout throughout the weekend. Joel was super accommodating to time for drop off and pick up. Joel took Stout on lots of walks, had other dog play dates, and gave Stout lots of attention. She loved it!”
“Daniella took great care of our energetic black lab for a week and was a delight to communicate with. Olive got great exercise while we were away. Will definitely book with Daniella again!”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“Really incredible! Took such thorough care of our dog, was so responsible and communicative with our senior dog. I would rebook again, I trust Hana with my dog completely!”
“Janessa took wonderful care of our pup for 10 days over the Christmas holiday. It was so nice knowing that she was well taken care of while we were gone for an extended period of time.”
“Elsa and Luka always have an AMAZING time when hanging out with Alexandra and her pups! Their smiling faces are all the proof I need. Thank you for always taking such great care of them! ☺️”

Excellent at caring for my dog. I have booked her dog sitting service multiple times. My dog loves staying with her. She is very knowledgeable and has given me great advice on being a better pet owner. She is very responsive and sends daily updates & photos about how my dog is doing. I feel at ease when she is taking care of my dog. I will definitely continue to book her.
I felt so comfortable and assured that my puppy child was in great hands. From ongoing check ins to , photos and videos , I was never left in the dark of how things they were going. I could tell she was spoiled and loved on while I was gone. Great clean environment and they got her out side for walks and fun. I would definitely book again and recommend you do to!
Marc and Rachael took really great care of Kona, who can sometimes be a handful. She trusted them right away and they even introduced her to another dog with ease. Kona has a hard time with meeting new dogs and Marc and Rachael did it without any problems AND during their first time with her. I would definitely board Kona again with them in the future.
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.
Janessa and her partner were great. They have a really nice size condo /apartment that has a lot of space plus an enclosed long balcony. I appreciate them taking Tito on long walks. I went out of state for 4 days and didn’t have do worry at all. She kept me updated during the trip once or twice a day which is perfect for me. Thank you again I’ll be booking again next month.
I felt very comfortable leaving my Momo in Bari and Felix's care! They were attentive, understanding, and patient with her various special needs as an older pup with some health complications. I also received regular updates and they were quick and easy to communicate with. I will definitely be leaving Momo with them again :) Thanks for taking great care of my Momo.
Matt and his wife are amazing! I was leaving my German shepherd mix for the first time which made me nervous because he is so young and high energy. After leaving my dog with Matt I felt so much better, I felt reassured that my dog was in good hands. My dog got to play with other dogs and get his energy out and I received lots of photos and videos throughout the stay which made me feel so much better! I’m happy that I found a great dog sitter nearby who is also very affordable!! Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog for the first time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sacramento on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,649 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sacramento. 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.
94% of Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento.
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 Sacramento 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.
