“Joyce was awesome. Our 14.5 year old labradoodle, Chloe, stayed with her for about 9 days. Chloe was well looked after, and all her needs, including daily medications, were met perfectly and lovingly by Joyce. She took every bit of instruction on Chloe's care (which wasn't that much) diligently, and kept us updated daily with photos and other tidbits of information on Chloe. I'll definitely be using Joyce again!”
“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”
“Took care of my pup Tofu, he well cared for and they went above and beyond by getting exposed to the outside world with many walks and treat play. We felt at ease and happy seeing Tofus update and silly side of him from all the pictures and videos !”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was the first time I tried a pet sitter app. My family are my usual dog sitters but they were all unavailable. So I requested Leah because my sister in law told me about her. I was really nervous but my sister in law told me about Rover & Leah and how much my fur nephews loved it there. We had to go on an unexpected trip for a funeral and Leah took care of my girl, Callie & fur nephews. Week before I even dropped off Callie, Leah was responsive to my questions and kind & patient with me. She let me know to create instructions on how to care for Callie & was so sweet & appreciative when I gave her back a full “book” of instructions. She was very reassuring that she & her family would care for Callie really well. Once my husband & I dropped off Callie to Leah, we were given a warm and welcoming greeting. She was inviting and just gave a very calming energy. Her place was clean, full of toys dog safe. Her furniture & products she used felt dog friendly & like a perfect second home for Callie. I felt really good about leaving Callie with her. During the trip we received updates. If I found myself just missing Callie and decided to check in by messaging Leah through the app, she was so responsive!. I knew Leah & her family were giving Callie lots of love & care (made obvious by the pictures sent through rover app). I was able to focus on family during this trip knowing Callie was in great hands! I only left Callie with Leah for 2 nights but, after this experience I would trust Leah to care for Callie for week(s) if needed. In the future, and if need to find care for my dog again, I will hope and pray Leah is available the days I need. She was awesome!!”
“Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!”
“Ettamae had an incredible time staying with Olga. We received periodic updates and pictures. We will definitely be a returning customer. It’s really nice to know Ettamae has a caring sitter she really bonded with.”
“TL; DR Li-Ting is a great sitter and I highly recommend her. Li-Ting has been taking care of our dog with love and attention to every details. Our dog is very sensitive to new environment and she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. However, from the daily updates from Li-Ting, I can see our dog is getting used to the environment and the companion with her body language. Thanks again for taking good care of our flurry daughter and we truly appreciate it.”
“Shavonne was great taking care of my sweet dog!! She's a great communicator and sent lots of photos. My dog enjoyed her stay and was well cared for, leaving my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Shavonne for your fur babies!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Eunice and Sean were great dog sitters for Astor! They played with Astor, cuddled with her and made sure all her daily needs were met. They also made sure to give us frequent updates on how Astor was doing throughout the whole stay. Furthermore, we had to push our pick up time really late because our return flight got significantly delayed, and they were happy to accommodate.”
About: I've had dogs for nearly 20 years and know every dog has their own personality and routine. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day, daily walks, and plenty of attention. I only board one household at a time because I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home, not a house full of unfamiliar dogs. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also pretty laid back. I've cared for senior dogs, including one with megaesophagus and myasthenia gravis, so I'm comfortable giving oral and liquid medications and following special feeding schedules. Before every first stay, I'd love to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. During your dog's stay, I'll send plenty of photo and video updates so you know they're doing well. I work from home full time, so your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. We usually start the day with a morning walk, followed by another walk in the afternoon and a shorter walk before bed, plus potty breaks as needed. Henry and I visit nearby parks every day, and if your dog enjoys dog parks too, I'm happy to include those with your permission. If not, we'll stick to neighborhood walks and on-leash park visits. On hot days, I'll adjust our schedule and walk during the cooler parts of the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I only board one household at a time, I can give each dog plenty of attention and keep a close eye on how they're settling in. Dogs are never left outside unattended, and all walks and park visits are on leash unless we're in a designated enclosed area and you approve. My dog, Henry, is friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having company, but he's also happy to relax and do his own thing. I also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and usually prefers to stay out of the action. I'm happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, furniture rules, and any other instructions that help them feel at home. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to use your crate if you bring one.
“I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for my puppy Coconut last minute and I am so grateful to have found Christy and Cornell. My puppy had an amazing time staying with them and I couldn’t be more grateful the exceptional care and love they gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Dave took great care of Amber during our extended vacation. The pictures and feedback on how she was doing really helped ease our nerves while away. Strongly recommend Dave, particularly for long stays, and plan to have him care for Amber again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Santa Clara is €71

Absolutely the best Rover ever! Communicative down to the last detail every single day, and plenty of great photos. They followed our instructions closely, and did so many activities with our dogs. Their home is in a nice area with plenty of grass, too. Can't recommend more. 11/10.
Grace provided excellent care for our big husky mix pup, Kylo! She was incredibly caring, compassionate, communicative, and flexible throughout his entire stay. We really appreciated receiving daily updates and always getting timely responses, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kylo absolutely loves playing with her dog, Trinity, and it was so nice knowing he had a buddy to keep him company! Since Kylo is a high-energy pup, it’s really important that he gets plenty of exercise and playtime. Grace made sure he was able to get his energy out by taking him to the dog park every day to play with his friends. We truly appreciate the care, compassion, and communication Grace provided and would happily trust her with Kylo again!
Leah was so sweet and inviting towards my pet, Milo and my family! She made me feel at ease during the whole process as this was my first time leaving Milo with a Rover sitter. I would highly recommend anyone to leave their fur babies with Leah if you want them to have a fun time :)
Yan is so professional, kind, and wonderful with our puppy! She took such great care of Sharkie and made sure he had so much fun. She took him outside to watch people play basketball and watch some geese, which he absolutely loved! It was so sweet seeing all the fun things they got to do together. Yan clearly cares about the dogs she looks after and treated Sharkie like her own. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with her and would definitely book with Yan again!🥰Thank you Yan!
Antonio was wonderful with our senior pittie Amara. He took wonderful care of her, spending time with her while she napped, and taking her on walks at the big grassy park in front of his house. He also sent us several great pictures and updates each day he was watching her. I would absolutely recommend Antonio and will rebook anytime we need a San Jose based sitter!
Jingwen and Zhuode were such great sitters for Nova. They made our first time with Rover so easy and stress free. They were so kind, communicative and accommodating. I needed a last minute booking and a late pick up, in which they were very flexible with. We were able to do a meet and greet and welcomed us into their home so that Nova could get acquainted before her stay. During the stay we received pictures and Nova got lots of play time and a yard! You can tell how much they genuinely love spending time with animals and would definitely book with them again!
Amy was fantastic with my dog, Bentley! He has separation anxiety, and we booked her to watch him while we went to a concert. Bentley really bonded with her quickly! She kept me in the loop with updates and photos and was so accommodating by letting us pick him up later. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely book her again!
Leaving our beloved Evie behind while traveling is never easy, especially after a previous negative experience with another sitter. But John and his wonderful family completely changed that for us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for Evie. From day one, John treated her like she was part of his own family. He sent us daily updates and tons of photos showing how happy and relaxed Evie was. That daily peace of mind while being miles away is something we’ll always be grateful for. John also went above and beyond. When we picked her up, he had even washed her bed, blanket, and toy! Such a thoughtful little detail that says a lot about how much he cared for her. Evie clearly felt completely at home and was so happy the entire time. John and his family are officially our go-to sitters, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them every time we travel. Thank you so much, John, and your lovely family. We’re incredibly grateful to all of you! ❤️

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.
