About: Your paw! 🐾❤️When I needed a hand, I found your paw -Unknown Connecting with animals has always come so naturally to me. Dogs and cats fill a special place within us. My goal is to share that connection and pair it with 10 solid years of pet sitting so that pets and parents feel confident and comfortable. I offer doggo walking, boarding, day care, and transportation, and I am skilled in the administration of medicine. I am punctual, responsible, kind and easily provide loving care that meets all pets where they are. I always keep emergency contacts ready and communicate openly with you. I understand that finding and trusting the right pet sitter/walker can feel overwhelming! Your doggo deserves a safe and fun environment. I have a Doggo-proof, fun house with 2 huge yards! Whether your doggo digs active playtime, or seeks quiet companionship, I will have the tails all wagging! I have 2 doggos, ages 8 and 9. I love them to pieces. I can’t wait for the possibility of meeting yours! PS: Dogs are OF COURSE allowed on the bed, and couch. I couldn’t imagine life without it! PPS: I drop in cat visits, because: “"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." I’m available: Monday: 8am-6pm Tuesday: 8am-6pm Wednesday: 8am-6pm Thursday: 8am-6pm Friday: 8am-6pm Weekends- by appointment only Holidays- by appointment only I have 2 large dog friendly fenced yards with plenty of room to play and explore. My house is dog friendly and centrally located in Santa Rosa.

“Heather and Calob took such great care of our dog Mochi when we went on a trip. My dog can’t see in one eye, and needs to take medication daily. They asked for detailed instructions and sent daily updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my pup what cared for with love. I would definitely book with them again!”

Mabel was sad to leave her house and will pull on the leash when we walk past!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a lead kennel technician, I’ve cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding settings, ensuring their safety, health, and well being. My experience includes supervising group play, recognizing canine body language, administering medications, feeding specialized diets, maintaining clean and sanitary environments, and responding calmly in high pressure situations. I’m passionate about providing compassionate care and creating a safe, positive experience for every dog while building trust with both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I prioritize making sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, enrichment, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it’s feeding, administering medications, maintaining a clean environment, or providing playtime and companionship, I understand the importance of consistency and reliability. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my work. it’s something I’m passionate about and committed to every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home, pets have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run, play, explore, or simply relax in the sun. I also enjoy taking them on walks through my quiet neighborhood to provide exercise and mental stimulation. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines, while making sure their home is respected and their pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and quality care.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since March 2021, and he’s very much part of my family. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and getting to know their different personalities. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing, hanging out, and just having a dog around while I go about my day. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little details and will make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and patience I’d want someone to give Simba. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet your pup and hopefully become someone they’re excited to see! I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am around the house throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, take them for walks, and keep them company rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I already have a regular routine with my own dog, Simba, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll be caring for pets in my home, where I have a fenced yard that gives dogs a safe place to get outside, play, and explore. I’m home full-time, so pets will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since 2021 and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m very attentive to their behavior and individual needs, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, food, and making sure they’re comfortable in a new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend rather than being somewhere unfamiliar. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.

“We had a great experience working with Kristin while she cared for our dogs, Gracie and Miley. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and made sure the girls were well taken care of during our time away. From making sure they got proper exercise each day to giving their medications on schedule and meeting all their nutritional needs, she truly went above and beyond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in a safe, caring environment. Kristin was also very sweet and easy to communicate with — we could tell she genuinely cared about our pups. We highly recommend her to any dog parents looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.

Stacie’s family took amazing care of Milo. He became a part of their family for 5 days and even went to dinner and fishing with them! Their home is in a lovely neighborhood and the house was pristine. We love that the kids learn responsibility by taking care of their boarders and I could tell how much they loved on him. Highest recommendation and we will always come back when we are in the area.

Chris is wonderful. She asked lots of great questions about the care of our dog and she sent so many pics and videos I was worried my phone might run out of space... we loved this!!! We were travelling out of the country and needed to see our lil girl often. Our dog was always happy playing or doing some real good cuddles. Chris was great with communication and above all, our dog was very well loved. You can't ask for more as a dog mom. No other choice for us.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Santa Rosa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Santa Rosa is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $90 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 460 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Santa Rosa. 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 Rosa 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 Rosa 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 Rosa.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rosa 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.
