“Christy took excellent care of my senior dachshund, Leia, while I was on a long weekend trip! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and my experience caring for family & friends’ pets (and my own) has taught me just how important it is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, & loved. Whether we’re going on a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels happy and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to do whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. My overall goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring, attentive hands while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friend! I also have my own small, friendly dog that I walk and care for on a daily basis. I live in a dog friendly apartment in a very walkable & safe part of Walnut Creek. I believe in following your dog’s usual routine, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and making sure they have time for both play and relaxation. I’ll also follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is being cared for with love
“As always, Margaret was so excited to see Alex! She loves him and their fun days and night cuddles. She’s always THE happiest while we’re away and that lets us not worry about her while we’re out of town.”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“Love the great communication with photos and video from Patrick. Sauvi was extremely happy to be reunited with Sophie - she was about to fly with her tail wagging so much. She will definitely be back again. ”
“James and his kids were wonderful! Lucky hadn’t spent much time around kids before, but I received so much positive feedback and Lucky seemed to feel right at home. I had to make the booking fairly last minute and James was super accommodating and responsive. He went above and beyond to learn about Lucky and make sure he was comfortable. Would not hesitate to book with him again in the future!”
“Nicole took great care of Sophie and kept her entertained with walks downtown and to the park. We are so grateful to have found Nicole to watch our pup and plan to book with her again.”
“Chris and Eugenia are wonderful dog sitters - caring, attentive, and so easy to communicate with. They kept us updated and sent photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you!”
“Mac did well boarding at Yena’s! He had so much to say when he was picked up - his tail was wagging, smile on face.. if only we understood him 😆. I really appreciated the videos and pics!”
“Liam and Nadia did a great job of keeping us in the loop with Archer. He seems to have adjusted well and has come home a happy boy! We will happily book again with them in the future ❤️”
About: Looking to connect with owners of sweet, gentle dogs! We have two small dogs who are very playful but not pushy, and we'd love to find compatible dog friends. I'm hoping to build a trusted circle where we can help each other with dog sitting when traveling. I can host up to two dogs at a time. Message me if you're interested! 🐾 Self-employed at home. I walk my dogs 2 times during the day and 1 more time before bed. A few times a week, I bring them to Civic Park to socialize with other dogs before dinner. Once a week, I drive them to a nearby nature reserve for a hike. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Same if not more care will be given to your doggies. There are two fenced dog parks in my building that are treated daily with enzymatic chemicals. If your dog has sensitive skin, I will not bring them there to potty.
“Grizz had a fantastic time with Kristi and her dog, Ziggy! They spent the week playing and going on long walks. Kristi sent me daily photos and updates of how Grizz was doing. Grizz looked so happy in all the photos and Ziggy was the perfect playmate. Would absolutely recommend booking with Kristi!”
“What a wonderful family! They took such amazing care of Cali and kept us updated regularly with how she was doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend them! We’re looking forward to a long-lasting relationship and having them care for Cali again in the future.”
“My family and I are so thankful for the quality of care provided to our little dog. Margy was so attentive and caring and we have no doubt that he was offered the very best attention during his stay. Updates were provided along the way, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend Margy and family for doggy care.”
“Darren was very friendly and approachable during dropoff and pickup, and our dog seemed to have had a good time. We only scheduled for 1 night so it was a simple and easy process to introduce him to our dog and vice versa. I wish we would have gotten a photo or 2 to know he's doing ok during his stay, but it was only 1 night so it's ok.”
“Patrick is amazing! Great energy, great personality and is very sweet to my baby girl mushu! I'm so happy to have found Patrick, my bf and I booked a trip to celebrate our anniversary, and planned to be away for a couple of days. Patrick made it easy for us to relax on our trip, and assured us mushu was in great hands, with updates he would give us and pictures throughout the day. I recommend and looking forward to re-booking in the future ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saranap
Frank & Thao were amazing. We were getting married nearby and they were so accommodating with pickup to have Stevie be part of the wedding and be dropped off back with them. Stevie was clearly well cared for and seemed to have had an absolute blast playing in their perfect yard with their pup. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.
James and his kids were wonderful! Lucky hadn’t spent much time around kids before, but I received so much positive feedback and Lucky seemed to feel right at home. I had to make the booking fairly last minute and James was super accommodating and responsive. He went above and beyond to learn about Lucky and make sure he was comfortable. Would not hesitate to book with him again in the future!
Yena is amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and regularly sent updates including pictures and videos about my puppy Camila, who boarded here for the first time. I appreciated having the meet and greet so Camila could interact with all the other dogs there before staying overnight. All the dogs were friendly and respectful. Camila was able to play in the yard and inside the home. Yena was kind to keep the same food routine at home, which I found very helpful. It was great to have my puppy in a safe and fun environment while I was away for a trip. I think Camila had so much fun that I will have to bring her over for daycare in the near future! Thank you Yena!

A great indicator of how it went at the sitters is how much my dogs sleep when they get home...they have slept non-stop for 2 days. :-))) Catherine is great. She was very responsive and accommodating. She had great communication before during and after. I look forward to using her again.
Kahn did a wonderful job with our dog Charlie. It was Charlie’s first time to stay over at someone’s house and Charlie immediately bonded with Kahn. Kahn takes only one dog at the time and Charlie received a lot of attention and walks. Kahn sent us messages with pictures and videos letting us know how Charlie was doing almost on daily basis. Kahn is very flexible, understanding, caring and trustworthy. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would like him to be a sitter for Charlie again.
Giselle took care of my dog, Noodles, for two weeks while I was out of the country, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. Noodles was clearly well cared for, comfortable, and happy with her. She provided updates, handled everything responsibly, and treated Noodles with genuine care. Being away for that long can be stressful, but Giselle made the whole experience easy and reassuring. I would absolutely trust her with Noodles again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
Meza was extremely great! She was communicative and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I accidentally overslept after traveling internationally and she made arrangements to keep my dog for extra night though that wasn’t necessary. She and her boyfriend are incredible people
We have an older dog, and Christina really took great care of her. She sent us pictures every day, texted us when she had concerns, and basically took care of our dog like she was her own. I would give her the highest recommendation. Her and her husband both seem like very kind people.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saranap is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $111 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Saranap 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 Saranap 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 Saranap.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saranap. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Saranap 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
