“Renee is awesome! She took amazing care of my boy Moose over Labor Day weekend — and on super short notice, which was a total lifesaver. Moose had the best time running around her yard and made lots of new fur friends. I could tell he was having an absolute blast! I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and will definitely be booking with Renee again. Highly recommend!”
“Maribel was so good with my Gidget girl. Maribel sent me photos and updates every day. It really set me at ease knowing she was being so well taken care of. Maribel has a huge back yard so Gidget could run and play. Maribel was so nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Rover/Maribel again for my dog sitting needs.”
“Apryl was very accomodating and super quick to respond to our reservation. Less than 10 minutes she said it was okay to drop our pup off at 5:00 am the next morning! What a life saver as we were in a bind. Our pup had a great time and was well exercised even made a new puppy friend! Would definitely use her services again!”
“Ana was such a great sitter for our dog Jowdee ?? She went above and beyond to ensure a lovely and comfortable stay for him. She constantly stayed in touch with photos and videos. Definitely recommend and will use Ana again if we ever need our dog watched over ?”
“Shanna was an amazing dog sitter for Wiley. She has a lovely, clean home and a fenced yard. She sent updates of our dog looking very comfortable and happy. It was nice to have peace of mind while we were away. 5/5 stars recommend!”
“Nalani is a great sitter! She is very sweet. I was so lucky to find her during a last minute trip. She sent videos and pictures of Bailey throughout the day and replied promptly. I will definitely contact her again on my next trip.”
“It was hard to leave my dog with any sitter, however, I’m very glad I left my dog with Akie! She took such good care of my frenchie. Akie was wonderful with my frenchie and really made me feel at ease knowing my frenchie was safe and in good hands. Akie had a great home and very accommodating to dogs.”
“Dedicated, loving, professional Barbara took great care of our little dog. She sent us pictures and videos everyday and summarized his daily activities. She cares, she’s responsible, and a true professional. We trust her and thank her for everything.”
“Anna and her family are SO SWEET! My dogs immediately felt at home, even as I was still standing there. They got lots of snuggles and they even got to sleep on one of Anna's daughter's beds! When I picked up my pups, they looked just like I would want: Happy to see me, but also like they barely noticed I was gone because they had fun.”
“Stephanie is the sweetest person ever! So easy going and cheerful. Nattie had an amazing time in her enormous back yard, playing chase with Maverick. We felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby with her, and I’m pretty sure Nattie is going to want to hang out with Auntie Stephanie and cousin Maverick again soon. :)”
“Priscilla watched our very active German Shepherd puppy and did an excellent job. Communication was great. She responded quickly to any messages sent. We would definitely use her again!”
“I had a great experience! He took excellent care of Buddy and made me feel comfortable leaving him with his family. He was very responsive, always replied quickly, and sent me updates and pictures whenever I asked. It was clear Buddy was well cared for and had a great time. I'm especially glad he got along so well with the kiddos. They seemed to really enjoy having him around, and Buddy enjoyed being with them too. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Kharlee is the girl to pick! She is caring, patient, kind, my dog had a blast with her AND accepted my booking request very quick! She is everything she describes herself to be. ?? Thanks Kharlee!”
“Bre was amazing with my Gunner. At the meet and greet she made me and my fur baby super comfortable. Bre is super accommodating and you can tell that she really loves animals! I will definitely use her service again!! Thanks Bre… Gunner misses his new friends and can’t wait to come back!”
“Haley did an excellent job caring for my high energy dog. My dog was actually tired when she got home and smelled good too! Haley has a calm, caring demeanor and was very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. It is a huge plus that Haley has other little dogs for my dog to play with. I would definitely book with Haley again.”
“Jill and Liz were great, I’d give them 10stars if I can. They worked within our range to board our 3 small dogs for overnight. Jill made sure the pets can explore and get accustomed to the place so my dogs get comfortable before we left. She set up my babies own spot as they have other dogs. We were very worried that they have other dogs in the home plus boarding too at the time because my dogs are aggressive towards other dogs and especially our little chihuahua who can’t be walked in the park because of this reason. To my family’s amazement, the day we picked them up, my dogs are mingling with 3 huge dogs—calmly!!! And my chihuahua was even standing under legs of another tall dog like they had a good time in general! None were aggressive and they all get along!!! Just for that experience for my dogs and the fact they were able to do that, is such a good plus!!! Thank you Jill and Liz!! Highly recommended multiple times over!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shafter on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 145 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shafter. 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.
80% of Shafter 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 Shafter 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 Shafter 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 Shafter.
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 Shafter 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.
