“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“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!”
“Thank you, Malika, for taking care of Cookie. She sent me updates with pictures every day and followed the care instructions very well. Cookie seemed happy while staying there. I will use your service again!”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“Our baby Axel had a wonderful experience. We were getting pictures every day which made us feel good. He came back home a happy dog from all the interactions he had.”
“Michael was a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He has a wonderful home with a nice backyard. Sent pictures and a message every day so we didn't feel too far from her. I will definitely bring Roxy back again!”
“We have an 11-month-old puppy who has never been away from us for more than a few hours, so we were understandably nervous. But the moment we went for a meet-and-greet at Joyce’s home, both our puppy and we felt completely at ease. We took a short 3-day trip and left our dog with Joyce, and she and her family took such wonderful care of her. Joyce sent us daily updates and pictures, which really helped put our minds at ease. Before the boarding even began, she took detailed notes about our puppy’s routine, including things like her feeding schedule and even her poop cycle, so that her entire family could be on the same page. If she’s available again, we would absolutely love to have her care for our puppy in the future!”
“Dorrtheia was amazing watching my two pups for a week while I was away!! She sent me pictures daily of my little loves and gave me updates. They loved her so much they didn’t want to leave!!! 5/5 recommend to anybody!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We are grateful to have found Queenie and Yu-Chieh to look after Pako. We received regular updates and photos during his stay. Pako warmed up to Queenie, Yu-Chieh and Summer fairly quickly and settled in comfortably from day 1. Thanks for taking such great care of Pako!!”
“Another great stay with Julie. Laila has stayed with Julie and her husband for the 4th time I think. They’re wonderful, always sending us pics of Laila and letting us know how she’s doing. And she always seems very happy with them.”
“Super Excellent Home away from home for your fur baby! Our fur baby loves staying with Melissa & Hyun and we are grateful to them for giving our fur baby the best care and love while she stays with them. 🫶”
“Minh is so nice and accommodating. Very easy to work with. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more pleased with the experience. She sent us picture updates regularly, she provided a safe and clean environment for our dogs. We could not be happier. Thank you, Minh!”
“Our dog, Teddy, had a great time here. They were able to take him on short notice and sent us a lot of pictures and videos of him while he was there. Definitely recommend and will use them again.”

I had never used this service before but did not have anyone to care for my senior dog Sugar while we were on a recent vacation. Alma was great! She cared for Sugar with all of her needs and sent me daily updates. I will definitely use her again if the need arises!
Leaving our beloved Evie behind while traveling is never easy, especially after a previous negative experience with another sitter. But John and his wonderful family completely changed that for us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for Evie. From day one, John treated her like she was part of his own family. He sent us daily updates and tons of photos showing how happy and relaxed Evie was. That daily peace of mind while being miles away is something we’ll always be grateful for. John also went above and beyond. When we picked her up, he had even washed her bed, blanket, and toy! Such a thoughtful little detail that says a lot about how much he cared for her. Evie clearly felt completely at home and was so happy the entire time. John and his family are officially our go-to sitters, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them every time we travel. Thank you so much, John, and your lovely family. We’re incredibly grateful to all of you! ❤️
Fiona took great care of our corgi Tesla for a week. She sent updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Tesla settled in right away and seemed happy the whole time. Fiona was also easy to communicate with and flexible with timing. We would definitely book her again.
Queenie & Yu-Chieh took such great care of Chewie! They were very thorough and kept us updated with pics and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Chewie looked so happy and had such a great time with them and Summer! We’ll definitely book with them again!
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!
We had another wonderful experience with Son. This was our second time having Coco stay with him, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. He took great care of her, kept us updated about taking her allergy medication and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He even gave her a complimentary bath. Coco came home happy and clearly enjoyed her stay. We highly recommend Son, and will definitely be booking with him again.
Michael and Kris took such great care of Charlie! They sent regular updates with what they were up too and with photos. Charlie is shy, but I could tell they were patient with him, made him feel comfortable, and let him do his own thing at his own pace. Would definitely book again for any future stays!
I can't say enough good things about Kai’s stay with Mariah! From start to finish, everything was smooth and stress-free. Mariah was incredibly responsive and attentive, making sure to keep me updated with regular photos and messages, which put me and my fiance’s mind at ease! I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience and will definitely be booking again for future stays! Highly recommend!
Teddie always has the best time at Vy’s house! I honestly can’t remember how many times Teddie has stayed here, but every single time has been such a great experience. They provide frequent updates and send pictures every day, which gives me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciate how flexible they are with pick-up and drop-off times, even when it’s super early or really late. Teddie is always so happy and comfortable here — we’re so grateful to have found them!
Wonderful Experience with Malika We had a wonderful experience with Malika! She took such great care of both NiNi and Baker while we were away. She kept us updated with lots of messages, photos, and videos throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and paid close attention to their individual needs. We could tell they had been well cared for and loved during their stay. We’re so grateful for everything Malika did and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!
Antonio was quick to response to correspondences and sent regular updates so we knew our dogs were doing well. We were able to meet family member at drop off and pick up - this personal touch meant a lot! Definitely recommend Antonio and would request him again if we need dog care.
I had such a great experience with Natia! She was so kind, caring, and communicative throughout Nova’s stay, and she kept me updated so I always knew how she was doing. You can really tell that Natia genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Nova with her. Nova seemed so happy and well taken care of when I picked her up, which meant so much to me. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust and will definitely be booking with Natia again! 🐶💕
Jamie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our young puppy with someone else so we were admittedly a little nervous about the whole process. Jamie graciously allowed us to do two meet and greets with her so that our puppy could get familiar with her and her house. She was prompt in all her responses and sent consistent text and photo updates every day. By the end, our puppy felt right at home! We will definitely be using Jamie again for our future dog sitting needs

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Jose on Rover is $58.83 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 3,350 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.
