“As always, great experience with Anh and William. They provided an excellent care of our bernedoodle and sent us multiple pictures throughout each day. We will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“From the moment we saw Tania, I was nervous that Micky wouldn't want to come back home. He adored her, and she made him comfortable. I was scheduled for surgery, so I wasn't sure how long the stay would be. Tania left the time open which was less stressful for me. Tania stayed in touch with us the entire time. I would absolutely request her again.”
About: I’m an animal communicator with a deep, intuitive connection to animals — I don’t just care for your pets, I actually listen to them. I’ve spent my life alongside dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and needs, including my own two girls, Daisy and Chloe. I understand animal behavior, body language, and emotional wellbeing on a level that goes beyond feeding and walks. Senior pets, anxious dogs, and strong-willed characters are my specialty. Your fur family will be safe, seen, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full time through mid-September, making this a great time to book! After that I take on seasonal evening work Thursday through Sunday, so I’m still available for daytime care and drop-ins year round. I’ll always be upfront about my schedule so you can plan with confidence. My home is warm, relaxed, and animal-friendly with a fenced yard. We did hospice for a number of dogs and cats from 2014 to 2025, so we installed Life Proof floors and have furniture to accommodate the older ones. My two dogs, Daisy and Chloe, are social, dog-park regulars who welcome new friends easily. I have crates available for large dogs if needed.
“Kevin was great!! My original roover sitter canceled on me 2 hours before our scheduled drop off and Kevin was kind enough to take kona in. Kevin and his family were very kind to kona while we were away and communicated with us during our trip sending us pictures. I will definitely book with Kevin again.”
“This was my first experience with leaving a dog with a sitter. Shadow is still in the puppy stage and Susie was very accommodating with pictures and updates. She will definitely be my go to sitter for the next time.”
“Fiona has been an amazing dog mom for our Abby while we went on a work trip. She sends us updates every day and took very good care of our baby, making us feel at ease. Her home was also a very comfy and safe space for Abby, and was able to bring her on multiple walks a day. We can’t recommend Fiona enough and will definitely board our pup with her in the future.”
“A very nice family who took great care of our two pups. They sent us lots of photos, and the dogs looked very happy in all of them. I think they were even a little sad to leave 😆 Will board with them again in the future!”
“My dog had an amazing five-day vacation at Tiffany’s place! Tiffany took such great care of her and kept me updated with daily photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be back next time!”
“Nune cared for our yorkie for about 11 days this summer. Her thoughtfulness, attentiveness, and carring approach were clearly evident. Excellent experience. We'll book with her again for sure.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 6 years . Those years have been with clients I have had long lasting relationship with, and they have trusted me to stay the night or even for up to a week at their home and take care of their dogs. I take good care of the dogs by taking them to go potty, feeding them, and even give their dogs medicine. Also, I like to walk the dogs and play with them. I have a dog of my own and she is 16 years old now and is my best friend. The love that a dog gives is the best feeling in the world. I love dogs and can't wait to work for my next clients. I won't disappoint. I work from home. I definitely have flexible hours and usually bring my laptop with me to be able to work at my clients house. My senior dog is 16 yrs now. She is a low maintenance dog and stays with my partner so their is rarely any occasion where I have to go back home.
“Another great stay for Nela!! So grateful for Sue & Shah!! Thanks for taking such good care of Nela!! It’s good knowing she’s in good hands while we are away. We enjoy receiving all of the daily pics/videos. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing care for their pet. They’re awesome!! Nela enjoys her stays as well. She always comes home so energetic & happy 🥰🐕🦺🐾”
“Robert was wonderful with my pups! They can be a handful, but he was so patient with them. I was only out of town for a couple of days but Robert checked in every chance he got. I'm so grateful for his services. Thank you so much Robert!”
“We loved Alyssa! She made our first time leaving our puppy with someone so effortless and stress free! She took great care of Thor and responded quickly to our messages and sent very cute updates throughout the day. We’re grateful!”
“Kimberly is very caring & down to earth, and took excellent care of our sweet pup-pup! She responded quickly to my last-minute request for a sitter; was truly accommodating and helpful; kept us well informed; and sent THE most beautiful pictures! Thank you, dear Kimberly, for a wonderful experience! ❤️”
“Onyx had a blast with Anissa! She kept me updated with pictures and was able to keep up with his energetic self. I would definitely have Anissa take care of my fur baby again ☺️ he came back happy and healthy.”
“We feel fortunate to have found Irina to watch Rocky, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We were traveling and needed someone to watch him for the day. Irina was very friendly and accommodating. She was great with Rocky and sent us videos/pictures during his stay with her. Irina was very open to do a meet and greet before we left Rocky with her. We feel that it was very beneficial for Rocky and as a result her dog Sugar and Rocky got along very well. Irina was flexible with our timing which was a huge help to us. We highly recommend Irina and will use her again when we travel to the Santa Clarita Valley. Thank you Irina for taking care of Rocky. You are awesome!”

Christopher took wonderful care of Charlie during his four-day stay! He sent plenty of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He also administered Charlie’s medication, and we really appreciated knowing he was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for pet boarding! 😊
We had a great experience with Anh and William. We needed last-minute sitters for a two-week trip and had never left our Labradoodle with anyone before. They invited us to their home for a meet-and-greet, which let us see exactly where she would stay and gave us the confidence to leave her with them. Over the two weeks they sent us more than 100 photos so we could see how happy she was. We’re so glad we found them and will definitely book them again next time.
It was our first time leaving our pup for boarding and we were so nervous since we had just adopted him (trip was planned prior) but Ilona was amazing. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay and our pup was having the best time with his friends. I couldn’t be more thankful to have found Ilona! I highly recommend 🫶🏼
This was at least my fourth time booking with Michelle for dog boarding. She's always been an attentive, caring and fun host. This time was for a longer duration, and my Hans was staying solo for the first time with Michelle due to his sister Stella's recent passing. Michelle sent at least daily photos and videos of Hans, and he looked happy and like he was having a ball playing with her and her other pooches. When I arrived at Michelle's house for a quick drop off on my way to the airport, I realized I had forgotten Han's bag of food and favorite toys. She graciously offered to feed him from her dogs' stash and introduced him to his new favorite toy - a ball which he never tired of chasing. He was happy to see us when we returned to pick him up, (but he didn't really want to leave.) It's very comforting to know that when I have to travel and she is available, Hans will always have a home away from home. I'm going to start bringing him over for play dates because he has such a good time. Thank you, Michelle.
We had a wonderful experience with Dina! She took amazing care of Coco and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Coco is very attached to people and doesn’t like being left alone, and Dina was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding of his needs. She treated Coco like he was her own dog and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. Coco was happy and comfortable with her, and that means everything to us. We would absolutely trust Dina to take care of Coco again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and caring dog sitter! 🐶❤️
JJ did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Lucy and Oswald while we were out of town. She was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating. She sent us daily updates with photos. Oswald stayed with JJ last year, and he remembered her and was happy to see her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Santa Clarita is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $62 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,884 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Clarita. 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.
95% of sitters in Santa Clarita 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 Clarita 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 Clarita.
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 Clarita 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 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.
