“This is the second time my babies have stayed with Rachel and we couldn't love her more! She sends tons of pictures and keeps us updated on how they are doing! We LOVE her and are so sad we are moving and can't take her with us! If you're looking for someone to love on your babies the way you do - Rachel is your gal!”
“I am pretty sure Jeter wants to move in with Leah. A friend who usually sits for Jeter had to cancel with less than a week’s notice and I was worried about how he would do with someone new. I definitely didn’t have to worry. Leah’s home is all about the pups with so many beds, blankets and even a warming pad! I got lots of updates which assured me Jeter had made himself right at home (for better or for worse 😆.) Knowing Jeter was happy, safe and loved in Leah’s care gave us huge peace of mind since we were all the way across the country. He even had a little cav companion which was icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a sitter who is probably as obsessed with your dog as you are, is super communicative and offers a plush puppy palace, Leah is your gal!”
“Sofiya treated Juju like one of her own. Her calm demeanor was exactly what he needed. I received photos and updates everyday and he always looked so happy. Would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone for Juju.”
“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!”
“Rachel, CW, and their family were exceptional sitters! They sent lots of photos and videos of our pup every day, along with detailed reports of his walks and daily activities. It was clear that they genuinely love dogs, and our pup felt safe and comfortable with them. They were easy to communicate with, organized, and flexible. We feel so lucky to have found them. Highly highly recommend!”
“Yoona and Minjae were absolutely amazing with my dog! They thoroughly read through all my care instructions and made sure every detail was checked off. They took my dog out for frequent walks and updated me three times a day with many photos. When my dog came back home, I could tell right away that she had an stress-free stay with them. I would definitely love to book with them again for future boarding!”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Michael and Kris were awesome. Vito came back home happy. Vito is a reactive dog and we're always anxious dropping him off at a new sitter. But Michael and Kris made sure we went about our day stress free and Vito enjoys his stay.”
“Ghazal took excellent care of my princess! She took the time to get to know Cleo and then the two of them bonded really well. Ghazal ensured that cleo was walked, fed, and given medicine at the schedules times and also accommodated her specific sleep routine to make her feel safe. I was updated on her activities and sent plenty of pictures - I felt relaxed knowing that my pup was happy and safe. I’ve already referred her to friends. She’s just great!”
“Yuyun took such wonderful care of Manto! It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with so much patience and attention. Manto was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after while we were away. She was also very responsible and communicative, keeping us updated and making the whole experience completely stress-free. It’s such a relief to know Manto is in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Yuyun to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we’d be more than happy to have her watch Manto again in the future!”
“Boris and Olga were amazing dog-sitters. They sent me continuous updates and pictures. My dog looked really happy and calm in all. I highly recommend them.”
“Luna is staying at Soyoung's again for 5 nights :) She's so excited every time when she knows she's going to stay at Soyoung's. Soyoung sends me photos of Luna everyday that I don't have to worry about how Luna is doing. Luna also gets to play with lots of other dogs there everyday and sleeps very well at night. She plays in the backyard with other dogs and takes walks with them as well. She looks very happy! Thank you for taking care of Luna!”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Amber is awesome! She was really flexible, responsive and highly communicative - she sent lots of fun photos and updates during the stay. My dog Kona seemed to have such a fun time playing with her puppy. I would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Santa Clara is $71
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Leah was absolutely amazing! Siena is generally very anxious and a total homebody, so she was pretty scared when we first arrived, but almost immediately after I left, Leah sent me a photo of Siena looking SO happy and comfortable. She loved hanging out with the other pups, and Leah was clearly such a pro with all the dogs. We will absolutely rebook. I think Siena is actually sad to be home and missing all her new friends!
Ghazel is the best! Having just moved to the state, I was nervous about finding someone to watch my sweet boy when I travel. From our initial meet and greet to his overnight stay, Ghazel put my mind completely at ease. Sam was so happy and felt right at home. I truly appreciated all the cute photos she sent, which allowed me to focus on my trip without worrying. I definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking again in the future!
Yoona and Minjae truly went above and beyond to make Gus’s visit comfortable and fun. They accommodated his special needs (separation anxiety) with so much grace and made me feel comfortable too. I received tons of pics and 2x a day updates. We will definitely book with them again!!
They’re our go-to sitters for Mochi and always take such thoughtful care of her. I’m so grateful to know she’s in good hands and that I never have to worry when I’m away. Mochi was even whining and crying on the ride home because she didn’t want to leave — I think that says it all 😂❤️
My 2 dogs had An amazing stay with Yan. She is so sweet, kind, and communicative. She is very easy to talk to and to work with. I really appreciate that she was available to take care of my dogs. The dogs came home happy, and I was relieved on my trip that they were in good hands. Will definitely book her again. Thanks so much !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clara on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,530 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.
92% 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.
