“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“We were so pleased with our experience working with Jennifer! Our dog came back so happy and we could tell she was definitely well taken care of and loved! We were nervous to leave our dog over NYE with all of the fireworks but Jennifer did an excellent job of helping her to feel comfortable. She also provided great daily updates. So happy to have found her and will definitely look to her again for future stays.”

“Juneau had a blast with Lety and Mason. I appreciated the frequent photos and videos updating me on all of Juneau’s adventures throughout the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Juneau again!”
“Carol and her husband are amazing people and you can tell they are animal lovers! My dog can be a bit reactive and anxious and they respected his space and they were so communicative. I would trust them again and again. Thank you!”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
I thought I already left a positive review. Megan is an animal lover and was very good in identifying a potential problem and checking with me. Good communication. My dog hasn’t weighed in on Morgan specifically but she was reported to have slept a lot and I assume she was comfy and relaxed. I tried to leave a tip but couldn’t find the right page!
We were so nervous about leaving Milo for our trip. Davis made us feel extremly comfortable. We received lengthy updates with pictures and videos. Those updates helped us get through. We traveled with 11 people who were all very impressed. Thank you for taking good care of our Milo. You are truly appreciated.
Exceptional communication and dog photographer. I have two high energy senior citizen Aussies, with a spectrum of quirks — including animal reactivity. She is one of the only sitters that took the time to read their profiles and ask thoughtful questions before accepting to host them. Will definitely use her again when I am in the Sacramento area.
Grisel was absolutely amazing taking care of our dog, R.J. From the start, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident. She sent us so many pictures throughout the day, and seeing him having fun really put our minds at ease. It was clear he was doing well and getting lots of attention. We also loved that she has a really large area for the dogs to play—R.J. had plenty of space to run around and enjoy himself. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would definitely book her again!
Francesco & Maya did an awesome job hosting my dog, who now may need counseling because she’s so sad to have to come back to boring life with me! They sent lots of pics and updates and alerted me about issues that might be of concern (not their faults at all). I hope to use them again sometime. Many thanks, Francesco & Maya!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sacramento is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 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 November 2026, there are 1,664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sacramento. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sacramento. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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.
