“Easy to setup, very communicative and able to adapt to unforseen changes in plans. Super friendly and took great care of Haru while sharing awesome photos of him enjoying himself. Would definitely rebook if needed again in the future.”


“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”

“This was our first time that we traveled without our 1.5-year-old puppy, Maple. This time, we made a big decision to trust someone else with Maple’s care. We were anxious about what sitter we might get. Fortunately, we picked an amazing sitter (Yoona & Minjae) that had cared for Maple with flying colors. Before the trip, Maple had a case of diarrhea, but Yoona & Minjae had carefully adjusted her diet and provided the right balance of exercise and rest making her much healthier and stronger than before. Buddy, Yoona & Minjae’s dog had seemed to keep her happy and emotionally settled. Yoona & Minjae was very professional, knowledgable, and diligent. From beginning to end, they kept in touch with us by updating us with photos and thoughtful responses on how she was doing. we were able to enjoy our trip completely at ease, knowing Maple was in the right hands. It’s hard to fully express in words how grateful we are❤️. I’m confident that if you too trust them with your dog that you’ll feel the same way.”

“Luna stayed with Soyoung for a little over a week, and we always joke that her home is basically Doggo Disneyland. Luna absolutely loves going there, so much so that when we arrived and rang the doorbell, Soyoung hadn’t even opened the door yet and Luna was already stomping her little paws in excitement, clearly impatient to start her staycation. During her stay, Luna ate well, slept well, and had the best time playing with the other dogs. It was obvious she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Soyoung took such wonderful care of her that we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. Whenever I missed Luna, Soyoung would also send us photos, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Soyoung for treating Luna like her own. Luna is definitely already looking forward to her next staycation!”

“Leah’s has become our little Poppy’s second home. 🥹 She gets excited when we pack up her crate because she knows she’ll get to enjoy and play with the other dogs in Leah’s care. We know this is a paid service so it’s only right that Leah and her family took good care of Poppy, but they always went the extra mile for her and made her feel at home. (We can tell by the pics of her lounging in beds that aren’t hers 😂) We’re also so thankful of how easy it is to modify bookings when we had last-minute changes due to travel delays/changes. Thank you, Leah and family!! 💖 We couldn’t have asked for better caretakers for our Poppy! 😊🫶”

“I highly recommend this dog sitter! They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. They also have a fantastic space for dogs; my pup was in absolutely great spirits when I picked them up. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

“Parrish was amazing! She provided me with updates and photos to reassure me Loki was doing okay. She was also very friendly and personable so I felt extra comfortable leaving Loki with her. Thank you 🙏”


“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

“Meredith was the best dog-sitter we could've asked for! For the last 5 years, our two dogs (german short-haired pointer and cattle dog mix) have stayed with family when we traveled. Since our family would be attending our wedding it meant they wouldn't be able to watch the dogs, so it was a big deal for us to find and trust somebody new. We had a meet and greet with Meredith where it was immediately clear that watching our dogs would be her #1 priority while they were there, and my anxiety level noticeably decreased. Then leading up to the actual boarding dates, we had the perfect storm of doggie ailments... Our GSP ate a peach pit that had to be surgically removed a few weeks prior and our cattle dog mix had an arthritis flair-up that severely affected her appetite and limited her movement. Meredith didn't flinch when we told her our GSP was on the tail-end of healing from surgery or when we provided her with a hodge podge of different foods for our picky girl, just to make sure she would eat something. She also went above and beyond and picked up meat to cook and feed our pup when she wouldn't eat the other items and hand-fed her at times to ensure she was getting nutrition. It breaks my heart to see my dog not eating because of pain, and kills me even more to leave her in another's care like that, but Meredith was the best I could've asked for in our situation and did an excellent job taking care of both of them. Between our GSP's ENDLESS energy, and our fearful cattle dog mix that can be reactive, they can be a handful even when fully healthy! We are SO SO appreciative that Meredith took such great care of them and we'd absolutely have her watch them again!”


“Sammi was so great with our senior dog, I always feel a little uneasy when I leave my dog with a new sitter but as soon as I met Sammie I knew she’d be perfect. She sent daily updates and pictures which was so appreciated, I could tell our little Pickles was so happy staying there and was right at home. I would definitely use Sammie again!!”

“Yan took really good care of our cat. She was able to do pick up and drop off, and was flexible with the timings. I really appreciate that she sent daily updates and photos, which allowed us to have peace of mind while we were away. Will book again!”

“Zeus really enjoyed his stay at Amy’s! Amy was really great at updating us as well as sending us pictures! She’s very communicative from the beginning and til the end. I felt like they treated Zeus like their own. Her house is clean and has a lot of space for dogs to run around and play. The front and backyard are also safe since it is both locked and fenced- for sure no escape artist will succeed lol. I definitely recommend Amy!”


“We had such a fantastic experience with Juanyi and truly couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! From the very beginning, communication was enthusiastic, warm, and reassuring. We had a first meet & play before the dog boarding. Juanyi’ house is very beautiful, clean and suitable for dogs. During boarding, we received photo updates every single hour, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each picture showed our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying their time—whether playing with Panda and Kaka (Juanyi’s two LOVELY dogs), resting, or out on a walk. What truly stood out was her flexibility and responsiveness. At one point, we needed to adjust our pick-up time to one day earlier than originally planned. We reached out, expecting it might be difficult to change on short notice—but she responded very quickly and immediately adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. Her willingness to be so understanding and flexible completely really touched me!! Drop-off and pick-up overall were smooth and easy. Juanyi made the entire process seamless and convenient for us, which we deeply appreciated. It genuinely felt like she cared for our dog as if they were her own. Bagel and Panda become best friends!! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a reliable, communicative, flexible, and truly caring sitter!”


“Having never left my dog with a stranger, I was definitely nervous dropping off my poppy before our vacation. But Li Ting went above and beyond making sure both me and my dog were comfortable. She sent paragraph long updates with so many details that made me think “yup, that’s my poppy!”. And of course lots of pictures and videos. They went on adventures, had yummy snacks, and she even brushed poppy’s teeth. I felt so full of joy and so much comfort seeing her updates. Plus, poppy got along with her dog so well. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Malika was an amazing cat sitter for Gigi! Gigi is very shy and cautious around new people, but Malika was very patient and knew how to help her feel comfortable. Gigi is also a 16 year old senior cat with a more specific feeding routine, and Malika followed everything carefully. She sent regular updates a few times a day which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Malika was communicative and very knowledgeable about cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Zoe. If your dog loves having buddies to play with, they’ll fit right in here! I have two friendly dogs and a secure, fenced-in backyard perfect for leg-stretching and fresh air. I’m in the office three days a week (staying for 4-6 hours), so my home is set up to be a safe, social environment for pups to hang out together. For the two days I don’t go to office (often Tuesdays and Fridays) and weekends, I stay at home all day and give all my attention to the doggies! I treat every guest like one of my own, ensuring they are happy, tucked in, and well-exercised. I’d love to host your fur baby for their next stay! I work from home two days a week, giving the pups my full attention. On the three days I am in the office, my home is fully dog-proofed and secure for my two friendly dogs and your pup to hang out together. This environment is perfect for social dogs who enjoy having furry companions to play and nap with while I'm out. I always ensure everyone is exercised and settled before I head to work! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. My home is fully dog-proofed and features a secure, fenced-in backyard for safe playtime. For added security, I have cameras installed so I can keep an eye on the pups even when I’m in another room or during my office hours. Since I have two friendly dogs of my own, the environment is already tailored for comfort and safety. I ensure all introductions are handled slowly and carefully to make sure every member of the pack feels happy and at home.
“Maria and Fedor were absolutely great with Ollie while we were out of town. He can be a bit particular, but he settled in quickly and seemed right at home. They were easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. This is the second time they've watched him, and we'll definitely keep booking with them because because they take such great care of him. Gracias, Maria and Fedor!”

Sesame has stayed with Galina and Aleksei multiple times and she absolutely loves being with them. They have become our go-to sitter for when we’re away on long trips. Sesame gets so much attention and adventures when she’s with them and we get peace of mind knowing that she’s well cared for. I especially appreciate the daily picture updates and communication/flexibility around pickups and drop offs. Thanks again, Galina and Aleksei for taking such good care of Sesame!

Flora was an amazing host! We boarded Mochi for a week while we were on vacation, and she was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout his stay. She has a cozy, clean backyard where Mochi could relax during the day, kept him clean, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Mochi was immediately comfortable with her, which gave us great peace of mind. The photo and video updates were fantastic. She didn’t just send random snapshots, she took beautiful photos that looked like they belonged in a magazine. She even made little videos with matching background music, which is something I’ve never experienced with Rover before. We’ll definitely have Mochi stay with Flora again. Thanks so much, Flora!

We are so grateful to have Emily watching over Kimchi, again! It makes traveling so much easier knowing that Kimchi is in such capable and caring hands. We always have complete peace of mind while we are away, and we truly appreciate the reliable, stress-free experience every time. Highly recommend!

Julia is absolutely amazing! We have left our dog Mia with her a few times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Julia is always quick to respond, keeps us updated throughout the stay, and sends plenty of photos and videos. She lets us know how much Mia ate, drank, how her walks went, and even shares updates about her mood and behavior, which gives us so much peace of mind. The best part is that Mia absolutely adores Julia. Every time she stays with her, it feels less like dog sitting and more like she’s going on a little vacation of her own! 🐶❤️ We are so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and loving. We highly recommend Julia and will definitely continue booking with her in the future.

Malika was wonderful with my two dogs. She’s incredibly patient and was attentive to their needs. She helped them adjust to her place smoothly, and gave them lots of love and attention. She kept me updated frequently which helped put my mind at ease while I was traveling. I’d highly recommend her.

Casper had a wonderful time with Ghazal! She cared for him as if he were her own, giving him so much love, attention, and comfort throughout his stay. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Casper was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Thank you, Ghazal!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clara on Rover is $59.92 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 3,550 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Clara. 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.
93% of Santa Clara 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 Clara 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 Clara 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 Clara.
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 Clara 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.
