“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Very sweet and understanding. Actively played with our pug so she didn't get lonely. Lots of walks and communication and pictures. Would definitely recommend her to everyone.”
About: Hi, my name is Angela! I have extensive experience with high-energy dogs that thrive on special activities and routines. As the proud owner of an Australian Shepherd named Mila, I understand the needs of smart, active dogs who require both physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved. I absolutely adore my Aussie, and I will love and care for your pet just as much! 🐾 I also volunteer, which gives me a very flexible schedule to meet the needs of you and your furry family member. Your pet will be treated like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a spacious three-bedroom home, offering plenty of room for your pet to roam, explore, and even enjoy some playtime with Mila. I look forward to meeting your fur baby and providing them with the best care possible. 💜 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I’m already accustomed to planning my days around activities like walks, playtime, feeding, and training sessions. I schedule my work flexibly, so I can dedicate the time and attention needed for each pet I care for. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or specific routines, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my week to ensure every furry friend feels loved and well-cared for. My girl Mila is very well cared for (some might say spoiled!), and I make sure she’s fed on a consistent schedule every single day. She has plenty of toys to keep her entertained, and you can expect the same level of care and attention for your furry friend.
“This was Bertha's second time with Rotoria and her family, but it was the longest she's been away from us (6 days). She had a wonderful time with them again, and we were comfortable on our vacation knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend once again!”
“Angel took great care of our beagles. Dogs seemed to be well taken care of upon pickup. Definitely would recommend and also plan to use her services again in the future”
“Our Cooper loves going to Patricia and Mattie's house! He comes home tired from playing all day and happy as can be, he doesn't even look back at us during drop off because he is so excited. Patricia Is really responsive, sends updates and is always flexible with us. We love that she requires a meet and greet, it really put our nerves at ease meeting her and Mattie and seeing the place where our guy was going to be spending time away from us. We will continue to use Patricia when we need doggy day care or overnight boarding! We highly recommend her!”
About: I have owned pets throughout my life, have been a pet sitter for several pets ranging 1 week to 1 month of care, and have been a pet foster parent to rescue dogs in the past. I have worked with dogs who were in the process of rehabilitation and recovery from surgery that included administering medication and frequent vet visits. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats! I am available during the day to work with pets and weekends! I will be available nights in the future. My open times to be between 8:30 PM and 7:00AM. In my home I have a fenced yard and watch over pets during my care when they go outside to potty and I ensure my home is safe indoors. In others homes I am very careful and attentive to the dogs reaction, needs, mood, and surroundings.
“I cannot recommend Jaycee and Brendan highly enough! They recently watched my senior dog and provided absolutely phenomenal care. They were super responsive, completely reliable with his feeding and walking schedule, and went above and beyond to give him tons of attention and cuddles. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my older boy was so well-loved while I was away. If you need trustworthy, compassionate pet sitters, book them!”
“Bonnie was great with sending updates and pictures. Her children were great with Malu as well. I definitely would recommend her to any other pet parents! Thank you again Bonnie!”
“My dog, Lady, had an excellent overnight stay here! Host was super responsive and able to squeeze Lady in last-minute as I had a family emergency to tend to. They provided photos and videos of Lady throughout the stay and provided a nice/clean home for her. I am so happy to have found someone reliable in my own neighborhood and will definitely be returning int he future.”
“Ronald and his wife were wonderful! We boarded our two Frenchies with them. On day one, soon after arriving to their home, one of our pups got diarrhea and had 2 episodes INSIDE of their home. I felt so bad! I really thought this was the end of their stay and that we’d need to cancel our plans, however, when I explained to Ronald that this may be nerves for the pup, he was very accommodating. He didn’t seem frustrated in any way. He was just making sure I was in the loop. I advised him to give pumpkin purée which he had and pup was back to normal. After that initial fiasco, Ronald sent me updates multiple times a day which helped ease my first time Rover jitters. The pups were so cozy and cuddly with him. They were very well taken care of and I would absolutely use Ronald and his wife to board our pups again.”
About: I've taken care of animals since childhood. In particular, dogs were my main responsibility in the family home. Feeding, walking, bathing, medication administration, and cuddling! I currently homeschool my two children so I will be home at all times to care for your fur babies during their stay with us. We have a yard, with grass, that's fenced in completely. The front door has a dog door so they could have access to outside at any time but it can be closed securely if requested. All plants are pet friendly. My children love all animals so your baby will have plenty of attention and affection.
“After our initial meeting, we felt very comfortable leaving our mini schnauzer Lucy with Joann and Richard. Joann checked in regularly with updates and pictures and we could tell that our girl was being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future.”
“As always Kathy is the best! She just really cares about you furry family members. She also sends many updates so you are never worried if they are okay. Our dogs are always returned happy and tired from all the fun they have had at her house!”
“It was the absolute best experience. Cristal was constantly communicating to give us updates on our pup and what his day looked like. We got pictures every day to see him playing and napping which brought us so much peace of mind. On top of that she was so sweet and gave our dog her own treats because I forgot to pack some for him. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would do so in a heart beat. I don’t think I would feel confortable boarding my pup anywhere else.”
“Another great visit for our fur baby! Thank you Cheridyn and Gil for taking such good care of Koda on super short notice. We love the clear and prompt communication and are thankful for all the pictures and videos we get. ❤️”
About: I have grown up with and helped take care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember! I began watching animals for my family, and then expanded to friends, now I’m ready to help any and everyone! We have housed large and small dogs and many breeds of cats and can’t wait to make yours a part of our family for as long as you need! I am mostly a stay at home mom, but also teach yoga twice a week! I have plenty of time to give your animals brakes, playtime, walks, and plenty of snuggles!! I have a completely fenced in yard and live across the street from a park! We currently have one medium sized golden doodle that loves other animals and kids! We do twice daily feedings and walks. Plus if your animal is up for it plenty of park playtime!
“Justine did an amazing job with Willa. This was Willa's first boarding so that is always a little nerve-wracking but Justine was very communicative the whole time. Will be booking again in the near future.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Stockton is $59

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Maria and her husband both took such wonderful care of Kingston and treated him like one of their own. He was taken on daily walks. ireceived pictures, and videos daily, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Kingston was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention they gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have them care for Kingston again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
I can’t properly express how much we appreciated Yesenia looking after our pup. She was simply outstanding. I should also mention that her husband was a big part of it as well. She took lots and lots of pictures and shared them with us while we were away and when we came to pick them up, they were obviously very happy with her and everything in the surroundings. I actually think they would’ve preferred to stay home with Yesenia. We were thrilled with her.

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.
95% of sitters in Stockton 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 Stockton 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 Stockton.
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 Stockton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Stockton 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.
