“Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of my little girl! She provided me with updates and was accommodating of my schedule. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“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 🩷🩷🩷”
“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!”
“Lucy was a little stand offish at first but Zariyah eventually made her feel comfortable and at ease. Verified by daily video updates. Zariyah was very accommodating to our schedule and needs by allowing us a day earlier drop off date and a late evening pick up. She is very courteous, professional and thoughtful. We will definitely be blessing Lucy with another stay with her. Her personal dogs are friendly too.”
“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!”
“Francesco was happy to work with our tight schedule. He met us at the dog park around the block from his apartment to get to know our dog. He provided excellent communication, pictures and updates, and Babette was a happy girl when we picked her up after two nights with Francesco. Highly recommended!”
“I’ve booked with Joel over 5 times now and I have nothing but positive things to say about him and how he has taken care of my dog, Cleo. He is so communicative and responds in such a timely manner – and is so flexible! I work a full-time job and travel for work and even if I have to pick her up pretty late in the evening, he is so cool about this and all I have to do is shoot him a quick text. He sends pictures and videos and keeps me posted on how the pup is doing when she’s there which is so nice. He is so kind and I can tell he really cares about what he does for his dogs. He takes her out walking a lot and feeds her correctly and plays with her a lot! When I pick her up she’s always tired (which is good). That way I know he was really trying to keep her engaged. Joel is definitely the best sitter I’ve ever booked with on this app. He’s so accommodating! Would HIGHLY recommend booking with him. My dog gets so happy when she sees him too because she knows she’s going to have an awesome time. He also treats her things so well, whenever I pick her up he always folds her blanket and places the things in her bag neatly. He rocks! 100000/10.”
“Jenna did such a great job watching both of our pups! We did a meet and greet beforehand as well since this was our first time and it made us more comfortable with leaving them in their care. Communication was great and we would definitely book again!”
“Marcie watched Sammie while we had a great trip for spring break! Sammie is always happy when she realizes we’re headed for Marcie’s so I know she has a good time and is well cared for. It’s so nice to not have to worry about her while we’re away.”
“Demetra was the perfect sitter for our little pups and was able to watch them last minute on a holiday weekend! Olive and Oscar were very taken care of and had all of the love and attention they needed! Highly recommend!”
“We love staying with Catherine and her fur babies. Everyone is so well taken care of and ends their stay happy and relaxed. Kevin and DiDi love Catherine!”
About: I grew up with pets and spent years caring for my sweet Chihuahua. I've always had a deep love for animals, and now I'm just looking to spend more time doing what I love! I have experience working with the whole spectrum of dogs— I'm attentive to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. And who doesn’t love a puppy? Cleaning up their messes and keeping up with their chaotic energy doesn’t faze me and they’re just so cute! I’m a teacher and currently off for summer 2026—with lots of free time that I hope to spend with animals! This means I’m highly flexible and available for last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all of your care instructions exactly, including instructions regarding gates/locks and home security.
“Amazing. Sunshine and Shannon were amazing. We received so many pictures and videos daily to help us see how well Bella was doing. Communication was excellent from the first time I reached out to them to picking up Bella today. We will use them again in the future. I would highly recommend Sunshine and Shannon to anyone look for pet care.”
“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”
“We left our dogs Lizzy and Sally for the first time and were understandably nervous, but Diane was amazing. She kept us updated with regular photos, treated them as her own, and made us feel at ease. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs, and her family is warm and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter!”

If I could give 10 stars I would. Chris is an amazing human. You can tell his passion for animals and my pups absolutely love him. He sent pictures, updates & video of my fur baby. Which totally put my mind at ease and was able to enjoy a quick get away! Highly recommend Chris and we will definitely be using him again. His wife, Kristina was awesome too! So, happy to have met them!! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars across the board! Satisfied client, truly!
Jordan made our experience using Rover for the first time...Awesome! Her open line of communication was great from beginning to end. She made my kids and I feel at ease with dropping our Brownie off to her. Tofu, her great dane, welcomed Brownie into her home right away as well! Thank you, Jordan and bestie! We will definitely be asking you to watch our Brownie again in the future!
Grisel was so amazing with making my dog Gracie feel comfortable. Grisel was really good about sending constant photo updates and was really quick with communication. Gracie had so much fun playing with the other dogs during the day and came home happy and tired after her stay.
This was the first time that I have left my senior girl since her life companion passed so I was extremely nervous, but Raissa was amazing and took extraordinary care of her. She was attentive, and sent me regular pictures, letting me know in detail what my dog was doing, and when she noticed she was a little nervous/anxious she went above and beyond. She addressed her needs by taking extra time outside, and adjusting her own schedule, treating her as one of her own. I am so grateful and I definitely highly recommend her.
Francesco was happy to work with our tight schedule. He met us at the dog park around the block from his apartment to get to know our dog. He provided excellent communication, pictures and updates, and Babette was a happy girl when we picked her up after two nights with Francesco. Highly recommended!
Achara took such good care of Mochi! She kept us updated throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Mochi looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for in all the updates she sent us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much, Achara, for taking such great care of our sweet Mochi! We would definitely book with you again. 🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sacramento is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $75 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,653 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 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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 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 , 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.
