âPatricia was absolutely amazing. I recommend her to anyone. My Lucy had a great time and Patricia kept us updated the whole time. She was very flexible with scheduling and more than willing to change dates and times to help us out. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and helped us out a lot. Thank you so much Patricia, Lucy was in great handsâ
âNing was so responsive and provided us with constant updates about Rouxâs wellbeing! I was honestly so nervous since itâs his first time boarding at someone elseâs place and he also is a very nervous boy. To make it worse, he ate something bad the day before and needed medication for his diarrhea. She made sure to feed him his medicine on time. She also made sure he was comfortable and slowly introduced him to the other pups. We would definitely book with her again.â
âThis family is TOP NOTCH! Iâm absolutely blown away with not only the cleanliness and professionalism but they WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND! I have owned dogs for 50 years and boarded at several locations in the past but this has by far been the best experience ever! I have zero issues or concerns. The dogs come out of this location happy and cleaner than when they went in! Picture updates multiple times a day. Communication top notch. Literally best ever THANK YOU SO MUCHâ
âEunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!â
âAshley was amazing with our two girls! They loved being with her and got plenty of attention. I was happy to receive lots of pictures of their dog park outings too! They came home freshly bathed and very happy. We will definitely rebook with Ashley again.â
âWow, was this a great experience! Dubele and her daughter, Van were incredibly communicative, kind, and patient with me from first contact all the way to picking my cats up at the end of the booking. They sent daily photos and provided updates as often as I asked (and even when I didnât!). Overall, I cannot recommend Dubele enough as a petsitter. My cats, who are terrified of new people, were curled up on her lap by day 2! I will definitely be using their services again anytime my cats need overnight boarding.â
âWhat can I say whenever I leave for a vacation it turns into a vacation for Ozzy as well! I never have to worry Parisa is always sending pictures & videos which helps when I miss my little one đ Heâs always going on adventures (which I love) !! Just having the best time living his best life!â
âRebecca is such a wonderful dog sitter. Coco was calm and happy when I picked him up. Coco had such a wonderful day cation! I definitely board Coco with Rebecca in very near future. Thanks RebeccaâĽď¸â
âHolly was great with Mochi! Sent pictures & updates everyday. This was my first time using rover and I was nervous & anxious to leave Mochi with a stranger but Iâm so happy I found Holly.â
âOur pups were so happy staying with Diana. She did a fantastic job caring for them. Our vacation was so enjoyable knowing what good hands our Kane and Kobe were in. Diana sent pictures, walked the pups and showed them so much love. We highly recommend Diana and we will definitely use her again in the future.â
About: Iâve taken care of dogs for 10 years. I have experience taking care of dogs with senior care, which includes medications, and making food. Dogs both small and large. I currently work part time and am able to do dog walks when needed. I also can board dogs at my home and walk them before and after shifts. I have a fenced yard where dogs can room for a potty break. I have experience with senior dogs and am able to administer medication. I love all dogs and have experience with small, delicate dogs.
âMy fur babies Nola & Nicko look forward to staying with Natalia! She takes them on adventures and engages them in play, and her kids even spend time grooming my husky. Itâs much more than boarding, and it gives us such joy to see.â
âBennie and Jennie went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Mochi. They provided detailed updates multiple times a day, were very responsive to any questions I had, and provided many photos and videos throughout Mochi's stay. They truly understand cats and know how to meet their needs both physically and emotionally. I usually feel nervous about being away from my cat, but their compassion and clear communication truly kept me at ease for the entire week that I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bennie and Jennie to all cat owners in OC and will be using their services again in the future!â
âI needed a dog sitter pretty last minute, and Nikcole was a life saver! My pup can be nervous at drop off, especially with new people, but Nikcole was so helpful and sweet welcoming him in. I also needed to extend a couple days and she was awesome in being flexible and working with our schedules to help me out. Definitely recommend!â
âKun did a fantastic job as always! This is my second time leaving Blue with her and I always receive updates and see that she is getting a ton of attention and care. Definitely recommend!â
âOscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!â

Alison is amazing! So flexible with scheduling and always accommodating, even with last-minute asks. Sheâs super attentive and clearly loves what she does â great communication the whole time, and I always knew our sweet boy was in kind, caring hands. Canât recommend her enough! đž
Holly was AMAZING!! â¤ď¸đđť I was so nervous because Iâve never left my dogs with someone before, but she made the whole experience so easy. She worked with my schedule, kept me updated, and sent so many wonderful photos, which made me feel so much better. I was especially nervous because it was the 4th of July and my dogs are terrified of fireworks, but Holly stayed with them, comforted them, took them on multiple walks, and gave them lots of cuddles. It really helped keep both me and my dogs at ease. Usually when I leave my dogs somewhere, they get so anxious that they wonât even eat. I was so happy (and honestly surprised!) that they ate all of their food. From the moment I dropped them off to the moment I picked them up, Iâve never seen them so happy while being away from me. It made me feel so much better knowing they were comfortable and so well taken care of. I will DEFINITELY be booking with Holly again. She went above and beyond, and I canât recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Holly!!â¤ď¸đž
Bowie stayed with Michelle for 4 days and I couldnât be happier with how it went. She kept his feeding schedule exactly on track, sent photos and updates without me even having to ask, and offered to pick him up and drop him off which cost a bit more but honestly saved me so much hassle. Bowie came back happy and relaxed. Iâll definitely be booking with her again. đ
Jingying & Alex are amazing! They truly cared for him like he was their own with lots of patience and understanding esp around bedtime! đ It made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated all the photos, videos, and updates they sent throughout the stay~ it meant a lot to stay connected and know Ollie was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone loving and reliable! Special shout out and thanks to their sweet Delphy for sharing her home and toys with Ollie! â¤ď¸
Iâve lost count of how many times our pups have stayed with Candi but every single time has been amazing! Our pups just had another 3 week stay and they were treated like family, we received so many pictures we felt like we were there and always had peace of mind they were having a great time again with Candi. Best sitter!
We had a wonderful experience! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy looked like he was having an absolute blast and came home happily exhausted from all the fun. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed spending time with them and Evan. We would absolutely book with them again in the future. Thank you both (and thank you, Evan!) for taking such great care of our pup!
Kairo spent another wonderful weekend with Carolyn and Brian! They are amazing with our Belgian Malinois, and after more than a year of using their Rover services, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. They care for Kairo with so much love, attention, and dedication, treating him as if he were their own. We always have complete peace of mind when he is with them. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Sean, Beth & Sunny!!They took excellent care of my dog while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals and treat them as if they were their own. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and communication, which I greatly appreciated. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. They were attentive to my dogâs needs, followed all instructions, and made sure my pet received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I would not hesitate to use their services again and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter.
This was Winston's second visit and his first overnight stay. He was so excited to be back at Molly's and she made him feel right at home. I can tell that he is very much loved and cared for by Molly and Chris. She even bakes him treats! I always appreciate all the updates and pics she sends. It is truly comforting knowing that I am leaving him in excellent hands. I can't say enough great things about Molly, because she truly is the BEST!!
Ashley is exceptional ! Our girl nala was well taken care of and kept me updated throughout the days . We loved receiving pictures of her and she took her to the dog park ! I love that she is flexible something came up for us and she was able to extend one more day :)
Lily is absolute the best! I left my two pups with her for 4 days and three nights. My pups and I had been mauled by dogs recently so the three of us needed extra love and attention and Lily provided that for us. I never had to worry about how my dogs were doing and they quickly acclimated to being with her. I received frequent photo, video and text updates that were very much appreciated. I would never hesitate to leave my dogs with Lily again.
Yeting is the best!!! She is attentive and caring, communicating with texts, pictures and videos throughout the stay. You couldnât ask for more! I highly recommend her. My adolescent Mallinois can be a handful and she handles him beautifully. She makes it easy and worry free for concerned puppy parents.

FAQs for Boarding - Santa Ana
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Ana on Rover is $48.15 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 5,211 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Ana. 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.
94% of Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana 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 dogâs confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Santa Ana sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
