“Skylar was so amazing! She was so patient with Charlie until she was able to calm down. She took a huge stress away from me while I was on vacation. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Ilona took great care of my two senior Labs. One has to take multiple medications throughout the day and Ilona was willing to take on the added work. She sent pics most everyday of the dogs looking relaxed and happy. thanks Ilona - great job!”
“Words cannot express how marvelous JJ and her family are. She is very flexible, kind and just fantastic with Sherman. I loved getting the photos and videos on a daily basis, I highly recommend and am so grateful of the care she has shown my fur child.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tiffany & her husband. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. Not only did they follow every instruction perfectly, but they also took extra time to give my pup walks, pool-time , and plenty of affection. Thank you again! 🐶 🐾”
“AMAZING at her job. We had a situation where we needed our Uncles dog watched for 30 days and we found Melissa. She did an amazing job and even helped put Tiny on a diet. We felt very safe knowing Tiny was in good hands 🙌🏻 Highly recommend her !!!!!!!!”
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.
“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.”
“My furry babies were well cared for. This was the first time I left my babies for more than a day and Chengcheng gave me peace of mind by sending periodic photos to let me know they were doing good and happy. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We had another wonderful stay with Fiona and she took great care of our dog, Teddy. She sent daily pictures several times and was very attentive. We knew Teddy was well taken care of. She took him for daily walks and even gave him a bath when he got dirty. Teddy was happy to see Fiona again. Thank you again!”
“Ryan was amazing and was able to watch my pup last minute. He was very communicative, and sent photo updates throughout his time with my pup. He was also so kind and helped me carry our things to my car. Thank you so much Ryan! 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”
“Ernestina took care of my dog for the first time .she was so kind and caring . Sent me two pictures every day . Her husband and her made My dog feels home and be very comfortable . If I need a dog boarding again I will go back to her for sure . Thanks Ernestina !”
“We went on a cruise for 7 nights and Jeff and Danielle took great care of my girl Roxy. It was so important that I could trust them as they would not be able to get in touch with me for most of my trip. After the first night they noticed a blocked anal gland and immediately asked permission to take her to the vet if things didn't clear up. Arrangements were made but they didn't have to take her becuase it resolved on its own (grateful that we didn't have to spend the money and also that they were attentive enough to notice this in the first place). They sent me pictures of her having a blast with their sweet dog and kept me up to date on how she was doing. I would highly recommend using them for your dog sitting needs and can't wait for Roxy to stay with them again.”

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 fabulous experience leaving our fur babies with Nicole and her husband Roger. They love pets and take excellent care of them. I received the daily updates and pictures of them. The drop off and pick up time went smoothly. We were at peace knowing how well they are taken care of. I will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you so much Nicole & Roger!!
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.
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Santa Clarita on Rover is $48.84 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 6,943 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.
