“Taylor is a truly wonderful person and takes great care of our senior dog, Gracie. He is very observant about her behavior, especially as she is getting older, and he gives her just the right amount of activity. We look forward to Taylor’s daily photo updates too!! We have complete peace of mind leaving Gracie in Taylor’s very caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Taylor!”
“Yang was great! We were worried about leaving our puppy because our he is only 4.5 months old. But she sent daily photos and always responded quickly to our questions. She even came by to deliver something that we had left when we picked him up, and when Wilbur saw her again he was so excited! He came home happy and tired. I definitely recommend Yang and will use her as a sitter for our puppy again in the future!”
“Frygg loved staying w Nathaniel. He sent videos and updates. My dog came home happy and tired. I think she misses being there and playing with Nathaniel’s dogs!! Highly recommend. Would book again.”
“Lucas was a great host! We love getting photos of our pup when we are away from her and Lucas sent daily updates and many photos. Our dog was tired when we picked her up from playing with the other dogs at Lucas' house. We did a meet and greet before the booking to meet Lucas. He was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend and will book with him again!”
“Anne is a very good dog sitter for our dog Harry. She is very communicative with us on his daily fun with her. She’s a very nice and considerate person. We are so happy to have found her as a dog sitter for Harry”
“Monica was fantastic with Wick! We did a meet and greet, and then a park walk together the next day to ensure that Mila (her sweet Shih Tzu) and Wick got along. She communicated well, sent pics and videos. And she has a dog step which is helpful for small senior dogs to protect their joints. She genuinely understands dogs, not just 'sells' it. I will definitely use Monica again!”
“Jeanette is so lovely! It makes it so easy to go away knowing that our labradoodle Chester is in such good hands. She’s extremely communicative and responsible and our dog just loves her! We highly recommend booking with her for peace of mind the next time you need to leave town.”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“An amazing dog sitter. Provided pictures and video updates consistently throughout the week. She was very quick to respond to my text messages. I think my dog likes her more than me now ?. I highly recommend Tien and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Lei and her family were such a wonderful caregivers for my dog Gigabite! She put extra care into making sure that Gigabite had a good night’s sleep, was well fed and got plenty of exercise/ attention. Gigabite can be a handful but Lei is so thoughtful and patient. I feel like Giga has a home away from home ❤️. If you have the chance to work with Lei take it!”
“Murphy is always very happy to stay at Jesse’s! Runs right up to him when we arrive :) Jesse gives him a lot of outside time and sends us regular photo updates. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup, Jesse!”
“Lynn took so good care of our dog Max over Christmas and New Years and did everything to make him feel at home. And we enjoyed receiving pictures every day to see how he was doing.”
“Heidi was great with my dog who tends to be anxious in new environments. She made her feel very comfortable and kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures!”
“Thank you so much, Sylvie!! I can tell that Bobbi had an amazing time staying with you and your family and the other boarding dogs. I’m so grateful she had the opportunity to properly socialize with other older dogs as she is still a puppy. The endless pictures you sent were such a relief to see. I was always so happy to get them while on my trip—she clearly loved sniffing around your garden. And thank you for sticking to my notes and instructions, as she is still a puppy and I wanted to keep certain things going like crate training while I was away. I’d love to rebook with you in the future. Thanks again for your attention to detail and care for Bobbi :)”
“Alex was such a warm, caring & communicative sitter for my Ringo. After a quick meet and greet before his boarding stay, I had no doubt Ringo was going to be so happy with her, as well as her gorgeous little Chowder. She sent me photo updates each day, took Ringo out on hiking adventures and lots of love and care. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend!”
“Sofia was great! I ended up having to pick up my dog about 6 hours later than originally planned and she was so wonderful about it. She's a great option to leave your pet with and I don't know that I'll ever use boarders again if Sofia is available! And my little dog came back super happy!”
“Thanks for taking great care of Pluto! I appreciated your fast responses, many photos & daily updates. Thanks for making sure Pluto had plenty of walks & was well fed!”
“Sara was fantastic! She communicated well with us during the whole time our dog, Ellie, stayed with her. The photos were so cute and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We'll definitely be having Sara take care of our dog again!”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”

Our little Kodi is a rescue dog who can be anxious in new situations, needing lots of reassurance and a tender-hearted caregiver, which is exactly who Ashley is. She made a safe haven for our anxious pup and he was in heaven, being pampered with complete and utter attention at all times. She also was in constant touch with us, supplying multiple updates and photos every day during the boarding, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We cannot recommend Ashley enough, and we are thrilled to have found her for our little Kodi and are honored to recommend her pet sitting services!
Sophie is amazing! She took care of our dog Lola Faith while we were out of the country for two weeks. Lola is a little skittish in nature but quickly felt comfortable with Sophie and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. We received daily updates with photos of Lola on her daily walks and frisbee time. It was so nice to see Lola in great care while we were away. We're definitely reaching out to Sophie again the next time we travel!
Caroline did a phenomenal job taking care of our little guy. She was able to move her schedule around to accommodate a meet and greet before we left town, and we instantly knew that Odie would be in good hands. We got plenty of updates and photos along the way. Would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top notch sitter.
Megan was fantastic! She took such great care of our poodle, Messi, and kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Messi also loved spending time with Megan’s daughter and quickly became friends with her sweet pups. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. Thank you, Megan! We’ll definitely be booking with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.
Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!
We trust Emily with kid Javier when we need to go out of town and have been so happy to know that he is in such good hands. Emily makes sure Javier gets exercise, takes him for walks, hikes and gives him plenty of snuggle time! We love getting photo updates and will definitely keep taking him to her.
Ellen was professional from start to finish, making us feel our pup was safe and taken care of while we were away, including text and photo updates. Our doggo is a bit shy and anxious, and Ellen knew just how to connect with him and get to know his personality. It was our first time leaving our pup for a night away from home and we/our pup couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.
Frankie had a wonderful time with Morgan and Svet and was very well taken care of! I could tell when I picked her up how comfortable she was in their house and with their family! Communication with Morgan was great and I loved all the pics and updates she sent over. Thanks for taking such good care of Frankie
Christian was great taking care of our little Fig. He was very prompt at responding to our last-minute request and was a good communicator overall. It sounds like he has a lot of experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We will definitely be using Christian again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in San Quentin on Rover is $76.59 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 5,013 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across San Quentin. 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 Quentin 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 Quentin 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 Quentin 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 Quentin.
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 Quentin 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.
