“We have never used a service such as Rover before, so when we got a puppy, we would a pet sitter from time to time. Denelle & Fred were fantastic! As we were not entirely sure about the service, they allowed us to meet prior to the pet sitting and let us have a good warm and fuzzy regarding letting them pet sit our dog Maisie. Drop off and pick up were easy and our puppy Maisie was well looked after! They are very nice people and have a great setup for watching dogs and we will hopefully use them again.”
“Lauren is great! She is super friendly and was very attentive with our 2 dogs. You can tell she truly enjoys pets and she checked in with us as requested. The dogs were happy (and surprisingly clean) when we came to pick them up. There’s plenty of room for the dogs to run around out back and I feel like Lauren gave them the same amount of love we would. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time working with randi (first time was for our cat which was also great). We boarded our dog with randi over the weekend and he did wonderfully with her and Dixie. He got lots of love, attention, playtime and overall just seemed genuinely happy when we picked him up. Randi also sent us home with some homemade doggie treats! Randi is an amazing person and we will be using her from here on out. Thanks randi!”
“Bri was Great! She did really well with Charlie and Charlie really liked her and her family. I would definitely recommend her to anybody that asked me. I really like that she sent me updates and pictures it made my away from home much more comfortable.”
“Max I was so nervous about leaving my baby with anyone but I must say you and your family was outstanding. You sent me plenty of pictures of you and your family loving on my fur baby and I greatly appreciate every day she was with you. If anyone is in need of a great family Max would be the one.”
“Jennifer was great with my girl Frankie!! I was so scared to leave her because it was my first time leaving her with anyone besides family. I know Frankie was well taken care of, I enjoyed all the pictures I would get of her!!”
“Rocket loves going to Mellysa’s and playing with her sweet puppies! She sends the best updates, and obviously goes above and beyond to care for Rocket. She gives me peace of mind!”
“Robin was an excellent caretaker for both of my pups. I had daily updates with pictures. They were both happy and healthy when it came time to pick them up. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve been working with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments for 5 years. Having been a training and using my knowledge on how to build solid foundation and structure to have trust, respect and love from the dogs that I have come to meet. I’m available the majority of the week. This gives me opportunity to have the dogs socialize in groups or on walks during the day. I can drop off or pick up at an owners home if I’m able to, but I’m also open to meet people half way if it makes things easier. Depending on the group I may have that day, I like to have them all in a play group. After I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood or depending giving field trips to the park since I live close by. In the afternoon they get a nap time, usually if they get lunch I wait for them to rest before they revive their food. When nap time is over they return outside, back into play groups. Then the process repeats where they get another nap time, play time and then dinner if they receive one. I am also available to work around a specific routine or schedule may have for their own dog. My goal at the end of the day is for the dogs to receive good exercise, enriching social time and enjoy their rest period. A tired dog is a happy dog. Understanding that each dog is different and not all dogs have the same energy level, I try and give each dog the right amount attention they deserve to make them feel fulfilled and happy.
“I'm just back after 3 days away for a New Years getaway. I left my girl Mila with Kristen and her beautiful dog Aleutia. No one told me I'd miss my dog this much... But Kristen must have known, she sent me pics of Mila and updates and really put my heart at ease. Thank you Kristen, cheers, until we see you guys again.”
About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has lived with 5 different dogs over the years and cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs as well when needed. In our free time alone, my dog Yeager and I like to go on adventures hiking and camping together. When I care for your dog, they will have all the love, play, and attention they need since I am at home full time. I am at home full time to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule to maintain a safe environment and give them all of the attention they need. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I can keep the dogs separated if needed and can crate your dog if they are crate trained (please provide your crate).
About: What sets me a part of the fact that I owned a vet rescue with as many as 45 cats and 25 dogs. Definitely under understand how to take care of cats and dogs. I currently am not working staying at home taking care of the home. I have plenty of time to care for animals. I have years and years of experience, taking care of animals since I did have a pet rescue at one time. I have two cats and two dogs. My environment is very pet friendly and safe. I previously owned a rescue which I had 45 cats and 21 dogs so I’m definitely capable of taking care of your sweet pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tehachapi
Lauren was the best dog sitter that Snoopy could have asked for and we were lucky she was available on such short notice and willing to look after him for a little over a week. Snoopy is almost 15 years old and was recently seen by his cardiologist who prescribed him anti-nausea meds, tapering steroids for his cough, and an appetite stimulant for when he doesn’t want to eat. Snoopy also has had increasing incontinence issues and wears diapers while indoors. I needed to find someone to look after Snoopy while I traveled since his usual caretaker was not available, so I found Lauren on Rover and explained his health issues expecting that he might’ve been too much of a hassle. But Lauren was not fazed by any of Snoopy’s needs and immediately agreed to look after him. I went away on my trip with no concerns about his safety and Lauren periodically checked in with me to give me updates on Snoopy and sent me pictures to show me how well he was doing. I will definitely be booking with Lauren for my next trip – I even learned a few things from her about how to alleviate his coughing! We are very pleased with her outstanding quality of care!!
Brianna was absolutely amazing, and I cannot thank her enough. She stepped in at very short notice when I was extremely concerned about my dog’s safety with a previous sitter, and she quite literally rescued my puppy. Brianna handled the situation calmly, professionally, and with genuine care. When she collected Meisie, she immediately made sure she was safe, warm, and comfortable, and kept me informed throughout. From the moment Meisie was in her care, I felt an enormous sense of relief. It’s very clear that Brianna truly cares about animals and takes their wellbeing seriously. She went above and beyond in a stressful situation, and I am incredibly grateful to her. I would trust her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and reliable sitter.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tehachapi on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 39 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tehachapi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Tehachapi 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 Tehachapi.
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 Tehachapi 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.
