“Rachel is definitely a top sitter! Our first stay was a long one, and Rachel did an amazing job sending us regular news about our pups. She was also very helpful and responsive throughout the whole booking process. Our kiddos came home clean and happy. Highly recommended! Thank you Rachel!”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“As always, I am always satisfied with the care, love, and reassurance Leah provides for our Callie. Leah is amazing, so hospitable and feels like a close friend/ family member is watching your fur baby! Highly recommend!”
“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”
“Excellent communication! My dog was super happy the entire time, and was well loved. He even made a few doggy friends! I will absolutely be a regular of Amandas, and cant recommend her enough.”
“We left our five-month-old puppy with Sofiya while we were out of the country for 12 days, and she made it so easy for us. She has such a calm demeanor, and I felt comfortable that she could handle whatever might happen while we were gone. She provided daily updates as well.”
“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“Queenie and her husband took such good care of my dog, Eevee, for two weeks! She was responsive, thoughtful, and made sure Eevee felt at home and had a great time. Eevee also had a blast playing with their sweet pup, Summer. Highly recommend Queenie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“We love leaving Potato with Julie and Anthony! We left the country for a couple weeks and always knew that he was in great loving care. Julie sent me updates very frequently, which was nice because we missed Potato so much while on vacation. This is Potato’s 4th stay with them :)”
“I just wanted to share how incredible my experience with Tianrui was! We had an initial meeting at her place to see how my dog would interact with me and her, and it went very well. Tianrui kept me updated daily with morning messages, as well as midday or evening updates, along with photos and videos. She was very attentive and paid close attention to everything I mentioned about my dog. She even picked up on a few cute, quirky things my dog does on her own. Tianrui was my first boarder using Rover, and I will definitely reach out to her again for any future boardings! Missy had the best five nights making new friends and bonding with Tianrui ◡̈. Thank you for watching Missy and taking such excellent care of her!”
“Malika was an amazing cat sitter for Gigi! Gigi is very shy and cautious around new people, but Malika was very patient and knew how to help her feel comfortable. Gigi is also a 16 year old senior cat with a more specific feeding routine, and Malika followed everything carefully. She sent regular updates a few times a day which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Malika was communicative and very knowledgeable about cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“I appreciate the care that went into watching Brody. He’s got some health issues and can be anxious. He requires some flexibility and lots of patience. I appreciate the daily pictures especially since it was my first time leaving him behind!!”
“Megha and her husband were awesome. Absolutely no complaints. Very professional and communicative. They have a beautiful backyard for your dog to roam. They gave my senior dog lots of attention and sent many updates with pictures as soon as I left my dog there. I found that extremely comforting because I’ve never left my dog with strangers before. They also let my dog roam around so I never worried that he would be stuck in a crate somewhere. I know my little guy was very comfortable and I would definitely bring Rascal back!”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs daily through raising and training my own two dogs, Oreo and Caramel. I’ve personally handled crate training, potty training, feeding schedules, leash walking, socialization, and creating consistent routines in a calm home environment. Caring for my dogs has helped me become very attentive to dog behavior, comfort, safety, and individual needs. I understand the importance of patience, supervision, communication, and making pets feel safe and at home while their owners are away. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every dog like part of the family. Pet care is becoming my full-time focus, so I’m available Monday through Friday and able to provide dogs with consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to build my daily routine around the dogs in my care, including walks, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, rest time, and individualized attention based on each dog’s needs. I’m home for most of the day and strive to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as crates available for downtime, rest, or maintaining your dog’s normal routine if needed. I also have a dog play area to help dogs stay active, engaged, and entertained throughout the day with supervised play and enrichment activities.
“Best boarding experience ever! She took such great care of Turbo and Yoyo and sent tons of photos and updates. She even made homemade treats for them! we felt completely at ease leaving our pups with her. Highly recommend!”
“Ben was an amazing sitter. I was traveling and he watched my Daschund / Corgi mix for the weekend. He provided him with his daily exercise and provided photos. Would definitely recommend him to anyone that need a sitter!”
“Just picked my puppy up from Yoona and Minjae and it was truly the most amazing experience from first contact to pickup. I was SO nervous to leave my beloved pup that I missed many trips because I couldn’t find anyone that felt like the right fit to leave him with. They were so warm, accommodating and welcoming and my dog instantly felt comfortable. They sent the perfect amount of updates/photos and were so communicative and responsive. They truly treated my puppy as one of the family and it instantly made me feel so much relief. They have the most adorable and sweet dog that my dog enjoyed being with. They worked with my ultra picky dog and made sure he ate by getting creative with his meals. I cannot recommend them enough and 5 stars isn’t enough. I am so grateful for them and the most incredible experience. Thank you so much, Yoona and Minjae!❤️🐶”
“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”

Mariah did an amazing job taking care of my doggo (Bojangles). For this being my first time booking via Rover, Mariah was very quick to answer any questions, messages, and even sent multiple daily updates with pictures and videos to reassure me that Bojangles was being taken care of. Even went as far as hand-feeding Bojangles as he adjusted to the new setting. 10/10 experience leaving Bo with Mariah for a full week.
Ezra was AWESOME! We sat our two doggos with her for a week for the first time and saw them having a blast with her and her dogs in daycare all day. Super happy with the level of communications back and forth and also the care to detail. She read every amount of what we shared with her about the dogs and stuck to the plan. Our doggos were super well taken care of and we are so happy to have found Ezra. Highly recommend and will drop off our 2 pupsters with her again when we travel. Thank you Ezra for all the care and communications back and forth.
Casper had a wonderful week-long stay with Christopher and his family! Casper is a picky eater, but they made sure that he ate his food by holding the bowl for him—an effort that I really appreciate. On top of that, they sent me videos often, reassuring that Casper was having a great time playing with his friends. I would send Casper here again!
As always, Jiapeng and his family have taken amazing care of our girl Yuffie. They always made sure that Yuffie was comfortable, had plenty of potty breaks, and got to spend a lot of time playing with them and their dog Pika. We always appreciate the photos, videos and updates on how she’s doing throughout the day. We always know Yuffie is in excellent care with them. We will always book again in thru future!
Flora was an amazing host! We boarded Mochi for a week while we were on vacation, and she was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout his stay. She has a cozy, clean backyard where Mochi could relax during the day, kept him clean, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Mochi was immediately comfortable with her, which gave us great peace of mind. The photo and video updates were fantastic. She didn’t just send random snapshots, she took beautiful photos that looked like they belonged in a magazine. She even made little videos with matching background music, which is something I’ve never experienced with Rover before. We’ll definitely have Mochi stay with Flora again. Thanks so much, Flora!
Five stars isn't enough—I wish I could gatekeep Yoon Ji and her husband! She is an incredibly responsible, meticulous, and trustworthy sitter. She followed all of Mylo’s care instructions to a T and gave him so much genuine love and attention (plus she has such a great sense of humor!) I knew he was in the best hands, and he visibly seemed to miss her the second we got home lol. Mylo will most definitely be back!
This was the second time that Julie took care of Lucky and we are extremely satisfied with her services. It was a long stay for 11 days and Lucky was very well looked after. She sent regular updates with pictures and was prompt in responding to any questions. She was also very flexible with changes as we needed to extend our dates. During the stay, when Lucky’s allergies acted up she let me know and I was able to drop his prescription spray which helped avoid a bad rash/hot spot. Lucky was happy and looked well taken care of when we picked him up. I would not hesitate to board Lucky with Julie again and highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Jose on Rover is $57.57 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,344 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Jose. 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.
93% of San Jose 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 San Jose 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 San Jose 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 San Jose.
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 San Jose 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.
