“I am pretty sure Jeter wants to move in with Leah. A friend who usually sits for Jeter had to cancel with less than a week’s notice and I was worried about how he would do with someone new. I definitely didn’t have to worry. Leah’s home is all about the pups with so many beds, blankets and even a warming pad! I got lots of updates which assured me Jeter had made himself right at home (for better or for worse 😆.) Knowing Jeter was happy, safe and loved in Leah’s care gave us huge peace of mind since we were all the way across the country. He even had a little cav companion which was icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a sitter who is probably as obsessed with your dog as you are, is super communicative and offers a plush puppy palace, Leah is your gal!”
“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!”
“This is the second time my babies have stayed with Rachel and we couldn't love her more! She sends tons of pictures and keeps us updated on how they are doing! We LOVE her and are so sad we are moving and can't take her with us! If you're looking for someone to love on your babies the way you do - Rachel is your gal!”
“Boris and Olga were amazing dog-sitters. They sent me continuous updates and pictures. My dog looked really happy and calm in all. I highly recommend them.”
“Michael and Kris were awesome. Vito came back home happy. Vito is a reactive dog and we're always anxious dropping him off at a new sitter. But Michael and Kris made sure we went about our day stress free and Vito enjoys his stay.”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Ben and family were great with my reactive dog, Whiskey. Whiskey got good walks, lots of attention and cuddles! Ben was very communicative, flexible and even accommodated us last minute. He also picked up and dropped off Whiskey - which saved me from a lot of stress. I got regular updates with pictures and funny videos. Overall, I felt like Whiskey was in good hands!”
“Ghazal took excellent care of my princess! She took the time to get to know Cleo and then the two of them bonded really well. Ghazal ensured that cleo was walked, fed, and given medicine at the schedules times and also accommodated her specific sleep routine to make her feel safe. I was updated on her activities and sent plenty of pictures - I felt relaxed knowing that my pup was happy and safe. I’ve already referred her to friends. She’s just great!”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Yoona and Minjae were absolutely amazing with my dog! They thoroughly read through all my care instructions and made sure every detail was checked off. They took my dog out for frequent walks and updated me three times a day with many photos. When my dog came back home, I could tell right away that she had an stress-free stay with them. I would definitely love to book with them again for future boarding!”
“TR was AMAZING and took fantastic care of our cat babies. she sent detailed updates every single day and gave us a ton of peace of mind especially as we were traveling outside the country. our cats took to her very quickly and had a ton of fun at her home. it is a no-brainer for anyone to book with her and we will 100% go to her for future bookings. thank you TR!!!!!!!!”
About: I am a patience ,hard-working ,highly attentive ,punctual and attentive to food and clean water and dedicated dog lover who deeply cares for your furry best friend with years of experiences raising multiple different, diverse breeds such as Poodle, American Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds. Understand the rules and daily routines briefed by the owner such as meal times or prohibited items. I also live nearby a local public park that is very welcoming to dogs where I will love to take them out on walks and to play with them. I enjoy every single day as it has become part of my daily routine when I care for my own poodle 24/7. Throughout the 24 hours, I will be carefully looking after your dog's needs. Morning start early with fresh water feeding and walks exercise or outdoor potty break 30-60 mins. Midday scheduled walks30-45 mins for playtime and energy release. And final meal the day around 6.00 PM. Before bedtime a few hour I will take them outdoor potty break before sleep. Because over the years, I see that each dog has a different personality , so I have learned to understand and how to gain their trust and get along well with them. As I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience, spending time with pets is truly a pleasure. I understand this is well ,and I believe that fellow pet owners feel the same way. This is where I can step in to be a companion for your beloved pets. And most importantly , your pets will not be confined to cages, where I will take care of them as if they were in their own home. There will be space to run and play, and your dog never feel lonely.
“This is the second time I've booked with Parrish and she was amazing! I feel comfortable leaving Loki with her. She's very communicative and I know I can trust her thank you 😊”
“We used Yan for our ShihTzu for the second time and once again, she took good care of him. Daily updates are nice. We are very happy with the care he receives from Yan. We will be using Yan in the future.”
“Sofiya treated Juju like one of her own. Her calm demeanor was exactly what he needed. I received photos and updates everyday and he always looked so happy. Would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone for Juju.”
“Alma is a very good pet sitter. She watched my dog for one week. She was very kind and took my dog for walks. She talked to me every day when I sent her messages. She also sent me pictures and videos of my dog. Our plane got in very late, but Alma was happy to work with our times. She is a nice person and a good pet sitter.”
“We had a really great experience with Son while he took care of our dog, Bru. From day one, Son was super responsive and easy to communicate with, which made being away from Bru a lot less stressful. He checked in with us every day to let us know how Bru was doing — how his mood was, whether he was eating properly, and how he was settling in. As a pet parent, those little updates mean everything. Son was also very thoughtful and respectful about Bru’s routine. If there was ever a situation involving new food or any change, he always asked or kept us informed first, which we really appreciated. He was also incredibly accommodating, coordinating smoothly with a friend of ours for Bru’s drop-off and pickup, along with all his things. That flexibility made things so much easier for us. Most importantly, we could tell Bru was comfortable and well cared for. We truly loved the way Son looked after him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Son to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet boarding option. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“Minh was an incredible sitter for our dog! She and her son Sean clearly bonded well either our dog and treated him like family while he was there. Minh was very responsive, going above and beyond to even let us know about a lump she found on his body. We were already aware, but it was touching to us that she pout that much care into watching him. I would exclusively use Minh in the future for any dog-sitting needs!”

Leah was absolutely amazing! Siena is generally very anxious and a total homebody, so she was pretty scared when we first arrived, but almost immediately after I left, Leah sent me a photo of Siena looking SO happy and comfortable. She loved hanging out with the other pups, and Leah was clearly such a pro with all the dogs. We will absolutely rebook. I think Siena is actually sad to be home and missing all her new friends!
We left out pup, Jomi, with Queenie for a little less than a week, and we could immediately tell how much she genuinely cared for him. She went above and beyond what we asked, even brushing his teeth and giving him delicious, nutritious treats and lots of love and pets. She also made us feel at ease while we were away by sending updates, photos, and videos. It was so reassuring to see Jomi happy and well cared for. We’d definitely leave Jomi with Queenie again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her!
A Paw-some Experience with Rachel! Rachel came highly recommended by my neighbors, and they were absolutely right. From the moment I first contacted her, she was incredibly timely in her replies, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. What truly set Rachel apart was her genuine willingness to listen to Allie's specific needs. Allie, my 14-year-old Golden Doodle, has her own routine and quirks, and Rachel not only paid attention but delivered 120% in catering to them. It was such a relief to know Allie was in such capable and caring hands. Rachel also sent daily updates, which I truly appreciated. It meant the world to me to see photos and hear about Allie's happy days while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter, and I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family members.
This was our first boarding experience with Raquel, and it was great. Raquel is warm, friendly, and clearly an animal lover. Her little dog, Bailey, was delightful and adorable. Raquel sent photos and updates during the stay which was so appreciated- we knew our precious family member was being well-cared for by a responsible and conscientious sitter. We have found our go-to Rover sitter, as long as Raquel will have us!
This was Kiwi’s second stay and he was absolutely thrilled to see pika again. During his stay they played together, went on walks and would even fall asleep next to each other. Jiapeng and his wife are excellent sitters, they kept me updated the entire time with lots of videos and pics and always letting me know what kiwi is up to for the day.
Jose would definitely be my go to choice next time if he’s available. He treated my girl like princess, took great care of her, spent time with her and took a lot of pictures. He was also able to tell me some behaviors he observed from my girl to make sure she’s okay. Additionally my flight was delayed so Jose had to take care of her for 2 more hours - he was so nice and agreed immediately. My girl spent a great time with him and I’m really appreciated.
Olga & Boris were very easy to communicate with throughout the booking process, as well as for pick up and drop off. We got updates regularly and were very happy to hear that Sonny was having a good time with them. It usually takes him a long time to warm up to people, but he seemed to get comfortable very quickly with Olga and Boris! Would highly recommend them!!
This was my first time boarding my pup, so I was definitely a little nervous in the beginning. However, after doing a meet and greet with Thuong, I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her hands. She was very communicative and sent regular photos and videos, I could tell she really cared and treated my pup like her own. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!
Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Jose on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,391 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.
92% 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.
