“Ilona did a wonderful job watching my Frenchie Snickers. It’s so hard to find reliable people and Ilona was a joy to work with and set my mind at ease. She sent adorable daily photos and updates, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my boy was safe and sound.”
“Skyler is such a wonderful doggy caregiver! You can tell our little guys feel comfortable and safe with her and her family. Our doggies are relaxed and balanced when we pick them up (even our anxious one), and her updates with pictures are something we look forward to each day we’re away”
About: I’m a professional dog trainer with a huge amount of love and experience with all dogs, well over 1,000 different dogs trained, walked and cared for. I'll show an abundance of compassion for your dog as if they were my own pet. Having fun, playing, and safety will be high priorities on my list during their stay. Your dog will never feel alone while left in my care, as they will be my priority while boarding with me. I have an extraordinary amount experience boarding and caring for all kinds of dogs being a trainer and a former kennel specialist, and overall dog lover! I currently train dogs so dogs are most of what I think about! I train from my house, and Taylor my schedule to make sure I am home all day with your pups! While training, giving treats, or feeding, I seperate all dogs, to ensure everyone is safe (: Plenty of rubs, hikes or walks catered to the pups ability, and care like they are apart of my family! Plus a ton of chill, relaxing times. I will make sure to send plenty of updates and pictures!
“Anh and William were fantastic. We left our lab, Bailey, with them for a two week stay. Having never had our dog be anywhere without us we were worried a bit but it ended up being a fantastic stay for Bailey. We received pics and videos daily and saw how much fun she was having with the family and their dog. Highly recommend Anh and William.”
“Melissa is always so accommodating and willing to host Kylo even if it’s a last minute request. She really treats him as one of her own doggies, always spoiling him with lots of cuddles, treats, and multiple walks throughout the day. She also sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day to put your mind at ease! Thank you Melissa, Kylo can’t wait for his next stay with you!”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“I was looking for a pet sitter last minute and Susana responded to my message even it was already late and decided to accept my booking. Kashi and Kaylie had a great time and she took good care of them very well. Thank you so much! I really appreciate you..”
“Chengcheng did a great job of sending text updates and photos daily of our pug. She is very easy to communicate with through text and we could tell that she really cares for your family as if it were her own. Highly recommended!”
“Mae made my first time leaving my Frenchie with someone outside of family so easy and comforting. She and her family cared for her like their own and sent sweet updates throughout the weekend. I’m so grateful for Mae’s kindness and will definitely book with her again!”
“Areli was super kind and took great care of our dog Charlie! She sent us lots of photos and updates while he stayed with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing boarding for their pets 💖”
“Kayla was so sweet and took such great care of my dog! She communicated with me throughout the whole time and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. You can tell she genuinely cares, and I would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for Tiffany and her family, and the love they showed Winston for his 2 week stay! She provided us with regular updates and pictures / videos, allowed him to swim in their pool when he jumped in (and even gave him a bath after!), and treated him as one of their own when they dressed him up in Christmas clothes with their other dogs. He had such a great time with their two dogs who matched his energy well!”
“Our dog can be a handful but Stacey and her husband were truly wonderful with our high-energy pup. Their home is so welcoming and very dog-friendly. She sent us photos throughout our trip, and she handmade a beautiful souvenir for us with our dog's name on it. I am extremely grateful to have found such wonderful people to look after our dog and we knew we had nothing to worry about while we were away.”

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.
Skylar took amazing care of Kingston. He's an anxious doggie, but she took extra care to make sure he would get his medication and even hand fed him once when he wasn't eating. With the consistant updates and picture updates, it lifted my own anxiety being a first time Rover user. Pick up and drop off at my home was perfect. Finding someone to watch your family member can be a little scary, but Skylar created such great trust with Kingston. If I'm looking for a sitter in the future, Skylar will be the first person on the list I look to book with.
Nicole went above and beyond with our new dog Charlie (Chuck the Duck). She sent pictures everyday and let us know how he was doing. Took him on walks and made sure he was comfortable in their home. She even helped him out when he had tummy issues by giving him pumpkin! I can’t recommend her enough. We will most definitely be using her again. I’m pretty sure Charlie was upset he had to come home. I mean, I would be.
Our bernedoodle always has a great stay with Anh and William. We get multiple photos throughout the days from walks and at home, and our furry baby (even though he is big!) looks very happy and content. Anh and William are very responsive and easy to work with. Never had an issue and will definitely be boarding our dog with them again. Highly recommend!
She was amazing! Left my dog Sirius with her over Memorial Day weekend and honestly couldn’t be happier. She’s super responsible and made me feel totally at ease. She kept sending photos and updates throughout the day without me even asking, which was awesome. Plus, when I picked Sirius up, he was in the best mood and so happy. Will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Danielle is fabulous! We left our labradoodle with Danielle for 4 days and Danielle followed up each day with photos and a short description of how the day went. Danielle understands what pet owners are worried about, what we're thinking of regarding our pets when we're not with them. Danielle's actions of sending photos and a daily summary eases/rids those concerns. Our pet was well taken care of by Danielle! Danielle was also very understanding and accommodating for our unique needs and situations. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking for a loving and caring boarder for their pet-family-member.
I think I have found the best pup sitter ever. It’s always very nerve racking to leave your baby with a stranger. Christina was so sweet from the very first interaction. She seems like such a loving person, and it was apparent that she truly loves animals. She sent me pictures of my pup and he looked so happy that I was able to truly enjoy my vacation time. I am so happy with the choice I made here.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clarita on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,883 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 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.
94% of Santa Clarita 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 Clarita 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 Clarita 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 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 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.
