“Angela and her family took very good care of our sweet little dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs requires special care and medication and he was well cared for. Our dogs were happy, relaxed and playful while in her care. All these things are very important to us. We would not hesitate for a minute to take them back.”
“Savana and Carter are amazing! We have used them twice now and would definitely recommend them! They are great with Sully and take him to do such fun stuff! While we are on vacation he is too! They are also great at updating and sending pictures!!”
“Jennifer picked my dogs up and dropped them off. she was good with them for the small amount of time I witnessed the interaction. I’m sure they had a good time because they were both tired.”
“Tamee took great care of my dog (Bailey). She sent lots of pics and kept me updated on how she was doing. Bailey was so happy I think she would love to stay more. She got lots of attention and played with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Tamee and her family to take care of your pet.”

“Rebecca is awesome. We have used her several times to watch our Pup. Everytime he comes home happy and in great spirits. You can tell he has been well taken care of.

She has been awesome at sending us updates on our puppy as well as sending pictures so we are not missing him too much. I highly recommend her services.”

Our dog came home happy and well cared for, and it was so sweet seeing her little girls give our pup a goodbye kiss on the way out. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“I really appreciate MaKayla. She took my dog in on short notice, when a trip came up for me las minute. She was great and easy to work with. She also responded quickly. Ash was a happy dog when I picked her up after her stay. I would recommend MaKayla to everyone.”
About: I’ve been a caregiver, of pets and elderly on and off for 20+ years. My home is set up for dogs, with a fully fenced yard, dog door, and chill dog friendly home. We have two dogs of our own who are great with other dogs and are vaccinated. I’m a full time online student and mom, so I am home most of the time. We are all about dog play time and couch cuddles in our home. I have a fully fenced yard. We have two well behaved dogs that are good with other dogs. We try not to overlap dog families. Sometimes we will overlap for a couple days, if we feel we can make it work for us and all the dogs are comfortable.
“Brittany was so great! She is a total dog lover and made sure our pup was comfortable. She made sure she got her walks to help with anxiety and even helped her progress with swimming and walking off leash. I received regular pictures and updates. I will 100% be calling Brittany again for future dog boarding!”
“They kept me updated with pictures the entire stay and even gave our two dogs baths & trimmed up their nails while they were there which was a pleasant surprise. There were several other dogs there to play and keep our dogs occupied while they were away from home. We have no complaints!”
About: Our family of six has a houseful of love, and a golden doodle named Brody who’s always excited to meet a new friend. Dogs are a big part of our daily life, and our kids have grown up learning how to be gentle, patient, and responsible around animals. Your dog will have access to our fully fenced, grassy backyard for playtime and potty breaks, plus plenty of attention and cuddles from our family. Someone is home most of the day (I work from home), so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your dog is having. Meet-and-greets with our dog are always welcome before booking, to make sure it’s a great fit. I work from home as a software engineer. I'm always here and have a dog of my own. I don't have a dog door so I let the dogs out as needed during the day. I'm married with 4 kids that love animals and enjoy playing with them. When the children get home they take our dog, and yours out for a walk every day. I have 1 people and pet friendly golden doodle (50 ish lbs). We have fenced backyard with lots of area to roam and grass too. Your dog can chill with me or my dog all day and go out as needed. My dog tends to just sleep most the day while waiting for the kids to get home.
“Gizzy seemed happy with their family. She updated us a couple times. This was our first time using Rover. Hard to leave our dog with a stranger, but Melissa answered all our questions and made it easier to leave her.”
“It was my first time leaving my pup with someone over night. I was very nervous but I honestly could not have picked a better sitter. Mishell was incredible and sent me photos and updates every day. I 100% plan on booking with her in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Linda is absolutely amazing. I have a very active little puppy and she was so patient and wonderful with him. He had the best weekend at her house. Throughout the weekend she sent me cute videos and pictures of him. I never worried about him for one second in her care.
This was the second time we had Krisanne and Gaston pet sit Brody. The first time was just an overnight stay to see how he would do and he did fine. This time he stayed a week and when we first dropped him off he seemed excited. Later when he realized that we weren’t there I think he started to get anxious and nervous. He had some accidents but Krisanne and Gaston handled it nicely. They keep me updated that Brody was doing better and sent pictures of him playing and taking daily walks with their dog Kylo. I felt comfortable leaving Brody with Krisanne and Gaston and would highly recommend them.
We are so grateful to Chanelle and her wonderful family for taking such amazing care of our dog, Teddy. From the moment we left him with them, we felt completely at ease. They were incredibly kind, loving, and attentive, and treated Teddy like one of their own. We truly appreciated the regular updates and the many photos they shared, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It was clear Teddy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust them again. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Santa Clara is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 112 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Santa Clara can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Santa Clara home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 UT 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.
