“We just used Jenna for the second time to care for our Great Dane puppy..this time over 10 days! She was once again wonderful to communicate with. I love that she has a big family who can consistently give our dog attention and love. He is very spoiled in her home. He appears to be very happy there! We will surely use her again!”
“Beth watched our Jack Russell and she was great! She was very communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her and will definitely use her again.”
“My lab mix Steinbeck had a great relaxed time at his first overnight stretch (3 nights and days) at Camp Mita, after previously spending several good doggy daycare days there. He is a rescue with a trauma history so he can become quite nervous when I am away-- but not so at all when with MIta and family!--who gave him so much TLC as well as lovely walks. MIta's calm and friendly older yellow lab also clearly was a very reassuring presence to him. I loved receiving the gracious daily photos so I could see how "at home" he was making himself. He came home completely grounded. I was able to enjoy my time away so much more because he clearly enjoyed his time with Madhumita. Thanks for your attentiveness to a sensitive dog, Mita!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mundo! He’s a very active border collie who needs a lot of exercise, attention, and mental engagement, and they exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how thoughtful and attentive Farbod and his wife were. They took the time to ask about his routines and anxiety beforehand, and during the July 4th fireworks they were incredibly patient and comforting when he got nervous. Knowing they were paying such close attention to how he was feeling gave me so much peace of mind. They also sent the best daily updates: lots of detailed messages, tons of photos, and little stories about what Mundo did each day. It was obvious they really got to know him and genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I looked forward to every update! Mundo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It’s not easy finding someone I’d trust with him, but I would book with them again in a heartbeat. They are absolutely fantastic, and I hope they get all the bookings they deserve. Thank you again so so much for taking such amazing care of my boy! ❤️”
“A wonderful experience boarding my dog here! Qi took great care of my pup, kept me updated, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy throughout the stay. Highly recommend!!”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I honestly just love animals, especially dogs. I grew up with a Shih Tzu; her name is Bella, and she will be turning 9 in December. I got her as a puppy, and she has truly changed my life. I don't think I love something as much as I love her! Although we are separated at the moment, I would make sure to give your pet the same care and love as I would to Bella. I have pet-sat cats and dogs for family/family friends, and it has all been a positive experience. I personally already love to go on walks and get out of my house, so they will be well taken care of. I can't wait to meet all your lovely pets! I am least available on Thursdays and Tuesday mornings. Every other day and time works great for me. I am a student, so I am only ever in class on those Tuesdays and Thursdays, or at home! I have a fenced yard in my apartment complex with an additional private dog park. I also live in a townhome, so there is a lot of space for your pet! I am also comfortable going to any location that needs me! Constantly walking the pet if that's the case, feeding the pets, giving medications, being in proximity to them- whatever the pet may need, I can assist with it. I would also like to mention that I have a housemate, Anna G. who is also on rover and occasionally does daytime bookings! In our home we also have two cats!
“We are grateful for Kelly taking good care of our boy. He loved her yard and quickly felt comfortable with her. She was able to introduce a second client to him with little to no trouble which I think speaks to her confidence and knowledge of dog psychology. She sent several updates throughout the day with photos and provided lots of open communication throughout the booking process. Our dog tends to protest food when he is not at home (even when on vacation with us) and he ate all the food we left for him at Kelly’s. Great job! We will book Kelly again when we need her.”
“We loved working with Steve! It was our first time leaving our puppy so we were a little nervous, but Steve made Reese feel right at home and comfortable. He sent us multiple updates every day which I was so grateful for. Not to mention he took us in VERY last minute in a holiday weekend. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
“He took good care of Snoopie during his stay. He even picked him up because his apartment has stairs which my dog was getting scared from. There was some issues but it got resolved and Snoopie was happy with him. Would prefer him next time.”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“Our baby Axel had a wonderful experience. We were getting pictures every day which made us feel good. He came back home a happy dog from all the interactions he had.”

Teresa took care of my dog at her home for 10 days. Before booking, we had an excellent meet and greet. Teresa knows how to train and manage dogs, and also knows how to keep a dog entertained! She sent photos of my dog having a great time! My dog was well cared for while I was on vacation. Thank you for taking care of her.
Jasmine was a godsend to us as we needed to find a sitter last minute and she was amazing!!! Molly felt right at home and found a new BFF with Jasmine's dog Summer. She was great with communication and sent updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. We highly recommend Jasmine to care for your fur baby.
Susie did a great job welcoming my dog Suki at her home and making her feel at ease. She kept me posted about how things were going while I was away including photos. Suki enjoyed walks several times a day, meeting the neighbors and even rides on the SC Harbor water taxi! I recommend Susie to others looking for a pet-sitter for their dog.
We had a great experience with our sitter! They took excellent care of Willy and kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and videos. It was clear that Willy was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Communication was great, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!
Heather is wonderful! We had a meet and greet prior to booking, and Iris fell in love with her instantly. Heather provided great communication and kept me updated, which made me feel at ease the entire time. Thank you for taking such good care of Iris! We will definitely stay in touch.
Jenna and her family did an excellent job caring for my dog for three days and two nights in their home. This was the first time using Jenna as a sitter and her care exceeded my expectations. My dog is a 1:1 dog and she is extremely anxious in new surroundings and situations. Because of Jenna’s expertise and the family’s love and skills in dog sitting, my dog settled in quickly and adopted her new family easily. I will use Jenna in the future when I need a dog sitter. Jenna’s communication is prompt. She sent me regular text updates and photos which kept me in the know and made me relax knowing that my dog had adjusted and was in capable loving hands. I chose Jenna as a result of reading her reviews. These reviews were on point! I highly recommend Jenna for your dog sitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Soquel is $90 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $113 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 2,247 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Soquel. 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.
92% of sitters in Soquel 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 Soquel 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 Soquel.
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 Soquel 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.
