“Tessa took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay, which gave me such peace of mind. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again! Thank you, Tessa!”
“Eunice 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!”
“We had never left Coco with anyone, this was her first and we were very worried but from the interview to meet us, Coco's response with Patricia was excellent, so it gave us confidence to try to do this. The attention he gave to our Baby was excellent at all times, he let us know the behavior with photos and messages to be calm. We recommend it.”
About: I’ve 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.
“Candi was great and very hospital in taking care of our dog Spencer. I don't know how she does it. It's like a daycare center for dogs. We met first for a greet and meet and she made us felt welcomed and confident that our Spencer will be taking care of. Communication and photos upstream daily were fantastic. I like how Candi shows little emojis to point where all the dogs are. Candi really loves the dogs that she takes care of and it shows. I would not hesitate to bring our dog Spencer back again. He really likes his new buddies.”
“Jenni was dedicated to keeping me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and texted me about his meals, bathroom breaks, and naps. My puppy loved her so much that he didn’t want to leave. He even met some friends, and from the pictures, it looked like he was having a wonderful time. I’m truly grateful to have met Jenni and look forward to seeing her again.”
“Even just a couple of days, Jennie and Bennie took good care of my cat Ophelia. They post pictures a few times a day with information of mood and appetite. They also handle her ear condition with attention and cares. When I visited, I saw their place is clean and designed for cats too. I’m so glad I chose them for boarding!”
“I felt at peace leaving my dog babies with Ning. She sent frequent videos and photos. She communicated very well and made sure my pets had their needs met. I could tell my pets felt comfortable with her and that she really is a warm person and animal lover.”
“Kathy was great. She has a nice home in a safe walkable neighborhood. She was flexible, responsive, and just very sweet and kind. She sent lots of updates on Morty and he was his usual happy self after his stay with her. Highly recommend and will repeat.”
“Josefina was responsive and took good care of Harry my pup. Glad to hear he was not reactive with the other dogs in her care as he usually is when we're out in public.”
“Bernard and Hung Both took very good care of my Belgian Malinois for total of 4 days! She is a very active dog, and requires a lot of attention (which she received). I am very pleased and my baby was happy as well!! Very satisfied, will definitely come back!”
“Our dog had a blast of two week stay with Tami! She sent daily videos and photos giving us peace of mind how our dog was doing. Her backyard is huge so if your dog is large size and needs space to exercise and get energy out, it’ll be perfect for you. Her kids also get involve in playing with the boarders, to keep them entertained. She allows all the pets to sleep basically anywhere in her house where they felt comfortable. I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Diana was amazing! This was the first time using Rover and a sitter, and Diana made me feel so comfortable and trusting in her care. She and I pre-met so I was able to introduce my dog to her and check out the space and she spent all the time I wanted and answered all of my questions. When I dropped him off, my dog was trembling and nervous at first and she helped calm him and soon they were best of friends. She sent updates, pictures, and photos while I was out of town, which was comforting and reassuring. I will definitely use Diana again and would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, so we were a bit worried at first. However, she was incredibly kind and attentive, and took such great care of our dog. She made sure to keep up with walks, meals, and overall condition, and sent us regular updates and photos, which really put us at ease. Our dog looked very comfortable and stress-free the entire time. She is someone we can truly trust, and we highly recommend her!”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“Our German shepherd was well taken care of while we were out of town for a long weekend. Natalia is very attentive to details, took dog on daily walks and sent great updates. We will definitely book again.”
“We cannot say enough about Rebecca & Tom. Our dog had such a wonderful time there, we felt bad having to bring him home from his vacation. They are so experienced and their house has been transformed into a warm loving & caring place for dogs. We have found our forever sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Ashley 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.”

Finding someone was very stressful. Because leaving our dog for over 2 weeks was hard enough, but Hanah & Dabin made it so easy. They gave us regular updates and pictures every day. Our dog was well fed, played with, and loved. When we picked our dog up, he was relaxed and didn't want to leave! Thank you for treating him like family. I highly recommend Hanah & Dabin to anyone needing a great sitter
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! 🐾
Holly was AMAZING!! ❤️🙏🏻 I was so nervous because I’ve 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 won’t 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, I’ve 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 can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Holly!!❤️🐾
Bowie stayed with Michelle for 4 days and I couldn’t 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. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 😊
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! ❤️
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 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.
Yeting is the best!!! She is attentive and caring, communicating with texts, pictures and videos throughout the stay. You couldn’t 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.

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.
