“Achara was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job communicating how Sammy was doing throughout the day sent pictures just overall a really great experience and I absolutely 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!”
“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Grisel was kind and listened to me as I shared Dori’s needs. Her home is set up well for taking care of pets. I received pics throughout Dori’s stay showing her doing some things I wasn’t sure she would do while in a strange place like eating. Grisel obviously has the “touch” to get her to feel comfortable. I will use Grisel again! Thank you Grisel.”
“My dog had the best time and I got lots of picture updates! If you have a reactive dog who needs a peaceful place to stay while you are gone Michael is perfect. My dog does not warm up to strangers very fast but loved Michael would highly recommend his dog sitting!”
“Martha was the BEST! She kept me updated everyday about Duke. She also asked me all the right questions to ensure that Duke would be good during his stay as well as comfortable. I will definitely be bringing Duke back! You will not be disappointed! Book with Martha.”
About: I’ve always had a dog as part of my family, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work from my home and my work schedule allows me to be flexible if needed when caring for your pet and scheduling dates you may need. I have a fenced yard and I can crate your pet if needed. My home is pet friendly. Your fur baby is allowed to stay indoors with me and I make sure to let out to play and have potty breaks throughout the day
“Roy had so much fun with all the other pups! They were amazing with communicating and being flexible! I appreciate y'all so much and will definitely be booking with you again! It’s such a relief to be able to leave my fur baby with reliable people!!”
“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”
“Roxy was great with our girls! Normally Hazel takes a little bit of time to warm up to strangers, and Koda does have a little bit of separation anxiety, but Roxy was able to get them to feel at ease right away!”
“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.”
“Jared is an absolute gem. He has such a lovely way about him and our dog adored him. It was such a relief to know he was being so well taken care of, not to mention the gorgeous pictures and sweet updates Jared would send. I highly, highly recommend him to anxious dog parents (me) everywhere. You will rest easy knowing that your animal is in Jared’s care.”
“Chelsi is fantastic! Left our girl Donna with her and they had a blast together! She followed all our instructions and sent great updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Chelsi again the next time we go out of town!”
“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!”
“Joel was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t recommend him more! Sometimes puppies can be unpredictable but you would think I picked up Penny from the best summer camp ever with how happy she was at pickup! Super responsive and on top of everything. Thank you so much!”
“Scott provided exceptional care for my little guy and I’d gladly use his services again. Scott ‘s home is warm, charming and safe for animals. Scott is attentive and if he has any questions he doesn’t mind asking.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sacramento
This is our first time owning a dog and first time leaving our pup, Moshi, to a stranger. However, it was a blessing to have found and connected with Patty. She is a wonderful person and so sweet. She definitely poured so much love into our little Moshi. She is knowledgeable and has many things already in her place to make it comfortable for your pet. I was not worried at all about leaving Moshi in her care. She not only took care of Moshi well, but I was about to enjoy my vacation without worrying too much. Will I use Patty again? 💯. Love Patty so much and am so thankful.
This was our first time leaving our girls with Matt, he and his wife did a wonderful job caring for them. We received multiple pictures and updates throughout their stay, and they were energetic and cheerful when we picked them up. We will definitely book with them in the future.
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 had a wonderful experience! Communication was excellent from the start, including a friendly meet and greet that made my dog, Teddy, and I feel completely at ease. I received lots of photos and videos throughout my dog's stay, along with regular updates on feeding and how everything was going. Teddy had a fantastic time playing with their dog, got plenty of cuddles, and came home happy and well cared for. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat Would definitely book again and highly recommend.
Amanda did a great job caring for our dog while we were away. Communication was good, drop off and pick up were easy, and we received updates during the stay. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was reassuring knowing he was in good hands, and we would definitely use Amanda again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of him!
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!
Danielle was absolutely amazing! My baby was very well taken care of. She even went above and beyond and clipped her toenails for me. You won’t find a better pet sitter in the area that truly loves and cares for animals. Will definitely have her pet sit for me in the future. Thank you Danielle!!

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.
