I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ning again on my next trip to OC/Irvine!”

I’m truly grateful to have met Jenni and look forward to seeing her again.”

About: I have been a “Dog Mom” for over 20 years. Often having multiple dogs of different sizes and breeds. I have handled deaf dogs- using sign language for commands, bells on door handles for dogs to signal outside time and understanding quiet, calm environments for senior dogs. I currently have no dogs in the house and I miss it so much! I’m excited to help your family any way I can. I’m a stay at home mom with one 9 year old boy who shares in my love for dogs. My child will be at school during the school year. My days are flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to send photos/videos of your fur baby as often as you’d like! I have a small outdoor patio that is partly shaded for those dogs who love a good sun- bathing. Out front there is some grass and I have a leash attached to large tree if they prefer grass time. (I will be outside with them the entire time) I can accommodate crate training at night or snuggle with them in my king size bed! We are an A/C controlled home!!
“Parisa is a wonderful, caring and loving pet-sitter that might even be a dog whisperer! She truly understands what your dog needs and how to gain their trust and love. Mochi, our 1 year old chihuahua mix loved Parisa from the first sight. We left her with Parisa for 7 days. Each day we would get photo and video updates with Mochi taking long walks, meeting new friends, chewing on her favorite treats. We never worried, knowing that Mochi is having time of her life and getting spoiled! Parisa is a true gem, I feel so lucky I have found her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Ana
I appreciated her sending pictures with her update. She was also very easy to communicate with. One of my dogs PB can be very smart with taking medications and unfortunately he figured out his snacks had meds and refused to take them during the stay. But she was very patient with him and found another way to give his medications. Thank you once again.
Hanah, Dabin, and Evan made Seven’s first night away from home so positive. They cared for him like he was their own with lots of exercise and attention. I appreciate how responsive they were with sending me updates and pictures throughout his time with them. I am so glad I found them and would definitely book them again!
Chey took amazing care of Marshmellow. He accepted my last minute booking and exceeded my expectations. He provided consistent updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind, and was friendly and professional throughout the stay. He even took the time to give Marshmellow a bath because he noticed he was itchy. I truly appreciated the extra care and attention he showed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Alison is amazing! So flexible with scheduling and always accommodating, even with last-minute asks. She’s super attentive and clearly loves what she does — great communication the whole time, and I always knew our sweet boy was in kind, caring hands. Can’t recommend her enough! 🐾
Jingying & Alex are amazing! They truly cared for him like he was their own with lots of patience and understanding esp around bedtime! 😀 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! ❤️
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 dog’s 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Ana on Rover is $48.15 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 5,072 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 dog’s 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 dog’s 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 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.
