“Kylie (Ying) was amazing with my dog Pippa! She was suuuuper flexible and chill and sent cute pics and lots of updates. Her dog, Noodles, is really sweet too. Will be booking again!”
“Stella loves Frank and Lori. They are so good to her and the communication and photos really ease any worries I have when I’m away. Looking forward to booking them again in the future.”
“Robin was fantastic! She was quick to respond to messages and flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Maple and her dog got along well and both were tired at the end of the afternoon. Boarding with Robin was an easy and great experience overall, we would love to return next time we're in Sonoma!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog and the experience with Dustin and his Rover partner was fantastic. Our dog appeared happy and healthy when we came to pick her up and we think that the socialization with the other dogs on the property was really good for her!”
“Carl is so dog focused and diligent about the dogs safety that I felt Angus would be in good hands with him for 9 days. Indeed he was. Angus had fun playing with several other dogs while there, came home happy and healthy and came home without the trauma of a kennel.”
“Mila is the perfect sitter! She's sweet and calm and clearly loves dogs. She kept Kenzie busy with walks and exploring her outdoor area and was very accommodating in extending my pickup time. I'm not sure that Kenzie wanted to leave with me. In a close-up photo that Mila sent afterwards, he had never looked happier!”
“Juli went above and beyond taking care of our dog Sunshine. She is our first choice for a dog sitter whenever we travel. She is responsible, responsive to our dog's needs and great at problem solving. Sunshine gets to stay with a nice human and some well cared for canines in a beautiful home. When we go on vacation, Sunshine gets a real treat too!”
“This was my first time using the Rover app and successfully finding a sitter! I chose Heather as she already had great reviews and repeat clients. My pup baby had an amazing stay with Heather and her husband! He got a lot of love a lot of play time and Heather introduced him to walking as he is still very young and hasn’t tried walking him yet! He now can go up and down our stairs after a stay with Heather….which I truly appreciate him having this new level of independence! I highly recommend Heather”
“Sarah and Matt are amazing! I always feel so comfortable to leave my pup, Bella, with them! They are always so accommodating and helpful. Love seeing all the pictures of my dog they send me while I'm gone. Highly recommend!”
“Ana G and her love & care for our fur baby was exceptional ❤️ I will definitely refer her and keep her for our dog coverage care, not to mention, as much as she hated to see our pup go. I think pup didn't want to leave. She a real 5 star 🌟”
“Emily and family took amazing care of our dog Chloe when we were out of town. From our meet and greet, Emily asked a lot of very good questions like what habits we allowed and did not allow, what kinds of updates we needed, whether we allowed her to wear her harness when not on a leash, etc. Emily seemed to have a strong background in training young dogs. Their dog Chaka seemed to play with Chloe all day and tired her out. Chloe went home very tired and very happy. While we were stressed about packing and forgot our mini white noise machine, Emily offered to lend us hers. We received frequent photo updates, and Chloe was always very happy in the photos. We would definitely recommend Emily and family took take care of your dogs.”
“Val was an amazing care taker! I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time, but she went above and beyond to make the stay easy. She posted constant updates of my dog via Instagram so I always knew what was going on. I will be using her in the future and would highly recommend!”
“I'm really appreciate Nadine's care for Laila. She seemed really nervous on the first day despite having a meet&greet beforehand. Nadine was patient with her and she sent an update every day and I love seeing that Laila is getting along with her cute poms. My car broke down on my last day of the trip and Nadine was able to extend the booking for another day and dropped her back to our house.”
“John was great with our girl. He was very responsive from the beginning all the way to pick up - even sending pictures throughout. He was very accommodating with pickup and drop off hours, and with our meet and greet. We would definitely recommend him and choose him again in the future!”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing and took great care of my dog. I have a very anxious dog and she was extremely patient with him. He ended having such a great time with her! I’d highly recommend her to any dog owners.”
“XI and her mother took wonderful care of our dog Emma, who can be quite timid and anxious. They were so patient and kind, and really made her feel safe and at home. Xi sent daily updates and cute photos, which meant a lot. Knowing Emma was in such good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We highly recommend Xi!”
“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”

Gina and Marcus (and their kids) were awesome with Bean. She got lots of love and play time with them. It was really reassuring to know that bean was being well taken care of while I was away. And knowing that their Buddy (dog) was cool and could teach bean how to be a good dog was a terrific perk. Great communication and just a truly great family.
Carl is simply the best!!! Our 6 year old rescue dog has tons of anxiety and separation anxiety as well. Carl was able to navigate all of Cleo’s issues seamlessly and Cleo truly liked Carl’s calming playful presence. We will be telling all our friends about how amazing Carl was with our Cleo girl. We appreciate Carl more than words could ever say. He made it possible for us to go on a family vacation knowing Cleo was in good hands. And it was fun getting all of Carl’s photo updates too. Thank you sooooooo much Carl for all the TLC you gave Cleo. You are our hero! And Cleo’s too.
Cristian and his wife were fabulous dog sitters. We know this because when we picked Axel up, he was happy, not at all stressed, and they told us that Axel was a very good boy. Our dog is on his best behavior when content and adequately exercised, so it seems everyone did well. Thanks!
Thank you Evan for taking such good care of Mochi while I went to a wedding in Sonoma for the weekend! Seeing her pictures and knowing she was in good hands made it easy to relax. I appreciate you giving her meds before I picked her up so she wasn’t carsick on the way home.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sonoma is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $75 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 November 2026, there are 3,289 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sonoma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Sonoma 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 Sonoma 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 Sonoma.
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 Sonoma. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Sonoma 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.
