“Angela and her family took good care of Penny and I could see in the pictures she was happy and well taken care of. They gave Penny a new toy to take home! Thank you!”
“Holly is wonderful!! This was Rascal’s 2nd visit and he was a very happy lil guy. Holly and her family treated my dog like family. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to everyone!!”
“Conrad was an excellent sitter for our dog. We have never left her with anyone other than family so I was nervous to leave her. Conrad was so kind and loving to her. I’ll definitely be using him again! Thanks Conrad!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving my dog since she went blind but Krisanne and Gaston took excellent and loving care of her! I had updates, photos and videos every day. My dog was walked everyday and they followed all instructions. Highly recommend. They are trustworthy and so nice!”
“What a great experience we had with Linda and her family! My Simon boy enjoyed his stay immensely and he was taken care of so well, I’m so happy with his stay. When I picked him up I could tell he felt relaxed and comfortable in the home and with the family. They sent daily pictures and updates which were so helpful. Simon is a senior boy and has some challenges but they handled it like it was a breeze. I’m so grateful for their care. They even sent me home with homemade dog treats and a few cookies for myself even! I would never hesitate to use Linda and her family again, I highly recommend them. Thanks again Linda! I think Simon misses you. :)”
“She was amazing with communication and my dog had a BLAST with her. She was very well taken care of and during the stay, she texted and sent me pictures and described her day, which I absolutely loved!”
“We love Cindy so much and feel so lucky that we were able to find her for our Charlie Bear. She is a fantastic and super communicator and provides us with daily updates about our furbaby and what he's up to throughout the day. I completely felt at ease after our initial visit to meet. She was professional, warm and fuzzy all in one! We're excited that we now have a go-to person for all our dogsitting needs.... we're just hesitant to leave this review because that means her bookings will increase and her availability will decrease! BOOK FAR IN ADVANCE! Thank you Cindy for giving us the peace of mind to really enjoy our time away knowing that part of our family is left in your care. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! And I am pretty sure that Charlie is missing you since coming back home. Looking forward to his next stay!!”
“Stacy was very friendly and wanted to make sure our pup was comfortable before we left him for the weekend. We got lots of photos and our pup got lots of love and attention from Stacy. He even went on a special outing/walk. I would for sure book again with Stacy again.”
“Smidge had a wonderful stay at Miss Stacey's! I received daily pictures of her, and quickly discovered it was going to be hard to peel my dog away when I got back home. Smidge made herself right at home by sleeping in their bed, under the covers. She and Kona played all the time; they are definitely a good fit in size and energy. I will definitely request Stacey and her husband to watch Smidge again. If your dog is spoiled as much as mine is, look no further, this is the sitter for you :)”
“Amy is great! We have left our dog with her two times and she does a great job sending us pictures and updates. She even watched our dog within an hours notice- thanks again! We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Scot was amazing! We came in from salt lake and needed a sitter for the day. Winnie had fun and was worn out! Scot sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Honeybun (my dog) was happy and exhausted after I picked her up both days I had Jackelyn watch her. Great communication and I never worried about honeybun being in her care. Would book again (and I did).”
“Dexter was so comfortable, it was like he was staying at a resort! He loved being the only dog in the house and was so well cared for. We will definitely bring him back next time we leave town!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! She sent daily pictures and updates. Her home was clean and welcoming, and the fenced yard was perfect for our dog to safely play outside. 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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clara on Rover is $38.85 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 105 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 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 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.
