“Joyce, Keith, and family took great care of Sunny while my partner and I were away on vacation for 8 nights. Joyce communicated well and sent pictures and videos to me daily. I’m grateful for all the love they gave Sunny during his stay in their home. I would definitely recommend to others who are looking for a dog sitter.”
“Excellent sitter! My dog was very happy at Sofiya’s. She provides daily text updates and pics! Very responsive. Never a worry on my part. Ollie came home freshly bathed and very tired from playing with other pups. I can tell he misses it! Highly recommended.”
“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! 😊🫶”
“We used Yan for our ShihTzu for the second time and once again, she took good care of him. Daily updates are nice. We are very happy with the care he receives from Yan. We will be using Yan in the future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Li-Ting was absolutely wonderful! I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in great hands! she sent lots of photos and frequent updates, was super attentive, and my dog had the BEST time with her. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Aleksei & Galina were great! Starting from the meet & greet, Galina read and asked follow up questions based on our pretty thorough guide of Angie. We tend to be quite picky with Angie as she’s a senior dog now, but I know Angie did not want to leave after the sit. Thank you both!”
“Just picked my puppy up from Yoona and Minjae and it was truly the most amazing experience from first contact to pickup. I was SO nervous to leave my beloved pup that I missed many trips because I couldn’t find anyone that felt like the right fit to leave him with. They were so warm, accommodating and welcoming and my dog instantly felt comfortable. They sent the perfect amount of updates/photos and were so communicative and responsive. They truly treated my puppy as one of the family and it instantly made me feel so much relief. They have the most adorable and sweet dog that my dog enjoyed being with. They worked with my ultra picky dog and made sure he ate by getting creative with his meals. I cannot recommend them enough and 5 stars isn’t enough. I am so grateful for them and the most incredible experience. Thank you so much, Yoona and Minjae!❤️🐶”
“Rachel and C.W. have great reviews for a reason! We did a meet and greet and felt totally comfortable with them watching our pup for a few days. They had great communication and asked lots of questions about our dog’s schedule and nuances to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Don’t hesitate to have them care for your pet!”
“We boarded our dog Luna at Soyoung's again and Luna has had lots of fun everyday. She played with other dogs all day long everyday and was treated like a princess! Soyoung's place is like a 5-star resort for Luna. Luna loves staying there a lot every time, which I'm very glad to see, so we can travel without having to worry too much about Luna. She also sent us photos of Luna from time to time and I can tell Luna was very happy staying there. Thank you Soyoung! You are the best!”
“Olga was great in taking care of Machi and gave us regular updates. Her calmness helped our corgi and at pick up was surprisingly more mellow than usual. We will definitely book with Olga again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with her watching our dog, Tuantuan, this past weekend! From the initial meet-and-greet, we knew Tuantuan would be in great hands. She was incredibly welcoming and clearly loves dogs. She provided regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. We could tell Tuantuan was having a blast playing in her home and yard and getting lots of attention. We really appreciated that she was flexible with our pick-up time. Tuantuan came home happy and tired, which is the best sign of a great stay! We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other dog owners.”
“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 :)”
“I can't say enough good things about the fantastic care my dog, Pepper, received from Turki & Madeline! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in good hands. They were incredibly attentive and loving, making Pepper feel right at home. One detail that really stood out to me was how they provided Pepper with her favorite snacks—carrots and blueberries—even though I had forgotten to supply them myself. This thoughtful gesture truly showed their dedication and attention to detail. It was such a relief to know that Pepper was not only being well cared for but also getting her preferred treats. Their genuine love for animals are evident in everything they do. I am so appreciative of the wonderful care they provided to Pepper. I highly recommend their services to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Pepper!”
“Sangeeta gave me lots of updates and pics of my dog. She has a lovely front and backyard for the dogs to run around. She's very attentive and communicated with me about my dog during the 2 nights stay. She's very nice and laid back, would love to have my dog stay again.”
“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.”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Qi took amazing care of our dogs, Pebbles and Luna, while we were away. Both of our girls are on the anxious side, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. Qi was patient, attentive, and made them feel comfortable and cared for. We also appreciated how thoughtfully she manages the dogs in her care. Even though she watches multiple dogs, she carefully groups dogs that get along well and makes sure everyone has a safe, positive experience. Her home is very clean and well-maintained, which gave us additional peace of mind. Qi was also fantastic with communication, sending frequent photos and videos so we could see how Pebbles and Luna were doing. We always felt informed and reassured. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“When our regular sitter wasn’t available for the last night of our vacation, Christy and Cornell came to the rescue. Zoey was very happy and cared for at pickup and they were great communicators!”

Julia was very attentive and loving toward my dogs. She sent photos and videos everyday, including detailed updates. My older dog has several health conditions and needs daily medication and careful attention. She followed all instructions and provided excellent care. We’re very happy w our experience w Julia and would seek her care in the future.
Yoona and Minjae did an amazing job taking care of our pup, Louie. They were super attentive and provided us timely updates and lots of photos. We could tell Louie had an amazing time with them and really enjoyed being around their pup, Buddy. We will definitely be booking with them in the future!
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! They went above and beyond in every way, providing not only loving, attentive care but also enrichment activities that kept our dog happy and engaged, and even brushing their teeth—a level of detail that's incredibly rare. We loved receiving regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was having a wonderful time and was treated like family. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding dog sitter!
My poor rescues were in a bind. My Mom & I planned a long vacation & our usual dog sitter had an emergency. We were without doggy care and we have a total of 3 dogs. I did my research and found Billie. Thankfully she took a last minute booking after I explained the situation we were in. My Mom & I were both very scared & hesitant to leave our babies with a new care taker, as they have always stayed with family. To our amazement, Billie took full lead of caring for our dogs with the utmost care and love. Paying attention to detail, their moods, eating habits, and well being. Billie stays in constant contact with you with beautiful videos and pictures of how your babies are doing. Billie maintained structure, and our dogs thrived! She is truly our new dog whisperer!
Ghazal was very understanding and flexible with hosting Hugo. I rarely leave him overnight and Ghazal took extra measures to make Hugo comfortable at night - she slept in the living room with him to make sure he felt safe in a new place. I appreciated the night and morning updates, it helped me know that Hugo was happy. She stuck to his food and walk routine. She truly treated him like her own pet.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our Miniature Schnauzer, Dice. Ru was attentive, communicative, and clearly loves dogs — Dice settled in right away and had a great time playing with her puppy. He came home relaxed and happy, which tells us everything we need to know. Booking with Ru made traveling completely stress-free, and she's our first call for our next trip. Five stars, no hesitation.
We had a great experience leaving our dog Milo with Jifu! He updated us throughout the day and sent us pictures and videos often. Milo had a lot of fun playing with their dog Fuji. He brought him to play at the park a lot and Milo came back tired and happy. Jifu is a great sitter and we would definitely recommend him. Thank you Jifu!
Matthew did a fantastic job taking care of our little dog for 3 weeks. We got daily updates with pictures and he communicated immediately to make sure our dog got the best care and attention. We highly recommend Matthew for anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. Will definitely book again in the future.
Relaxing family home for our quirky senior dog who has anxiety and is not social with other dogs. He looked so relaxed and comfortable the entire time, and Rachel and CW kept us up to date every day with cute pictures and great details. My dog came back much more relaxed, just like how we came back from our holidays 🌴

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clara on Rover is $62.16 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 3,483 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.
