“Achara was such a blessing for us. We were literally leaving in 1 day, down to crunch time, and freaking out because our girls have never been away from home. She did a meet and greet that afternoon, and was so easy going, very friendly, and even suggested if we wanted to make the transition for our babies easier, that we could bring them that same evening, as an option too. She was friendly and welcoming, her down to earth demeanor spoke volumes. My son and I liked her right from the start. Once we received our first update text and picture, my husband felt reassured, more and at ease in our decision. She kept in communication with us, put us at ease with the whole process (clear communication, the payment process because it was our first time with Rover as well) and gave us both pictures and updates of how they were doing. She respected our dogs' boundaries, as well as gave them options with sleeping arrangements. We knew our dogs were in the perfect hands while we were gone. We definitely will be making plans in the near future, either for over night or even just for the day. While also having a family and pet herself, Achara did an amazing job balancing our family with hers, and we definitely with be using her services again. Thank you!”
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Martha made my dog feel super comfortable and at home. She also provided me with daily updates while I was out of the country, multiple times a day. I was very pleased and comfortable that my dog was in her care. Will definitely reach out to her the next time I go on vacation. She is the best sitter my dog has ever had!”
“Bari & Felix were great! We needed someone to watch our dog last minute and they were very accommodating. They kept us updated with photos and it seemed like Duncan (our dog) had lots of fun. If we come back to the area we would definitely book them again!”
“Excellent dog sitter!! Asked more questions and was more intuitive than most sitters. Frenchies have a tendency to not tolerate the heat very well and Hana walked Bleu before it got hot outside, which means 5:30-6am range. So sweet! Plus Bleu loves her!”
“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!”
“It’s always a treat for our dog to stay with Jared and Andy! I just know that they love our little guy as much as we do, which is such a reassurance when you’re far away. I’ve booked them many times and will in the future for as long as they’ll have us!!”
“Alexandra is fantastic! She took great care of Tokyn and she sent photos/videos frequently while we were away for 3 weeks...keeping me updated. It was clear that Tokyn was having a great time and was enjoying the other dogs she was spending time with. This was the first time I had left my dog for this long and Alexandra created a great experience. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Thank you so much they took such good care of my baby girl Rose’ . They sent me lots of pictures and videos. I’m happy she got to socialize with other puppies I definitely will book again!!!this was her first stay and she did great!!”
“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”
“My doggy and cat love Joel. They know they will be taken care and get lots of attention and love. They are my babies and it makes it so much easier to know they are happy even when I am gone. Thanks Joel!!”
“Demetra took excellent care of our 4-year old lab, Midge. She was excellent at communication and sending photo updates from Midge's walks and playtimes in the backyard. We recommend her without hesitation.”
“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!”
“We left our dog with Matt and Kendra for a long weekend and could not be happier with them! We received multiple updates and pictures a day. We could tell that Tater was having a great stay and was well taken care of.”
“They were amazing! Always sending updates and making sure to send pictures. Pika had the best time and I felt so safe and comfortable, leaving her in such good hands.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
Achara has been our go to sitter for almost a year now, and I can’t recommend her more highly. Our pup is always so excited when we drop him off, and so happy (and TIRED!) when we pick him back up. She’s always been flexible on drop off and pickup times and willing to work with us to make the whole experience smooth. 10/10 would recommend
This was our second time having Amanda care for our dog, and once again she did a great job. It’s always reassuring to have someone you’ve used before and already trust. Communication was great, drop off and pickup were easy, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. We really appreciate Amanda and her family taking such good care of him
Matt has watched Tater multiple times and is always great. We had to change the dates of our most recent booking last minute. Matt was very flexible and accommodating. He sends daily updates and our dog is always excited to see him and his wife. We appreciate having someone we trust take care of Tater while we’re away.
Really appreciate Janessa and her partner and the care they took of my senior dog, Bailey. Janessa was responsive over text, sent pictures and updates, and was extremely flexible and understanding when I had flight issues that interfered with my pickup time. Janessa followed all of my care instructions for Bailey and she was returned to me happy and healthy.
Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!
Scott and Todd are very kind and accommodating. They sent regular photos and videos of Bug while she was with them. Never once did I feel worried about her. She was in good hands. They respond very quickly as well! Would love to have them sit Bug one day in the future again.
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!
We needed a last minute dog sitter for our labradoodle Brooke. Grace was very responsive and we are glad we found her as a new sitter. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a great time going on walks and looked happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with Grace again!
Katherine was great! She was conscientious and accommodating about introducing our dogs and making sure my senior, special needs dog would be okay in the new environment. I'm always nervous about finding care for Stella when I have to travel, but I felt very comfortable leaving her with Katherine. And I'm grateful she kept me updated on how she was doing during her stay. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sacramento on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,656 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.
95% 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.
