“Absolutely recommend! She helped my dog get more socialized with other dogs and family members so she came out of the two days of doggie daycare and three days of boarding a more balanced dog. She also held our human hands as this was our first time leaving our dog in anyone’s care.”
“It was our first time using Rover and it went pretty well. Ellie seemed to have a good time and there were no issues. Definitely nerve racking leaving your baby with a stranger but Arianna made her feel at home.”
“Thank you so much to Sandra and her family for the wonderful care and love they gave to our boy, Dodger. She was wonderful at communicating with me and keeping me updated. It truly gave me comfort and peace of mind that he was in great hands. We look forward to booking with Sandra again on our next family trip out of town. We know Dodger had the best time under her care. Thank you again Sandra and family! 💙💙💙💙”
“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Brittany was the BEST! Great and timely communication. Updated me and sent me pictures of my baby having so much fun with her family and her pups! I highly recommend her and will be reaching out again! Thank you again for having my baby over for a sleepover! 🩵”
“Did fabulous watching our dog Twilight made sure Twilight was well taken care of also made sure to give updates with pictures of our dog it was a good environment for Twilight and Twilight was comfortable for the days that he was being watched”
“I really appreciate it Davisha and Donald‘s care of our dog, Rogue. She can be a handful, but between Davisha and Donald and their two dogs, Lacey and Meatball, she did really well. We were updated with videos and pictures while we were gone. Davisha even gave some tips for walking and recall. I’m looking forward to implementing those on a more regular basis. We will return. This was our first Rover stay for rogue and we are very pleased. We will be back.”
“Guadalupe was a lifesaver!!! I was in NYC for the holidays and completely stuck in terms of finding a sitter for Rikki, as my boyfriend works full time in Long Beach and all my friends were also gone for the season. I found Guadalupe and I was impressed by her creditals, and even more impressed by her prices. I was able to book the whole thing online from across the country! My boyfriend dropped Rikki off, and every day I got several updates as to how ridiculously happy my dog was while I was away. We're talking long walks, off-leash frolicking in (gated) parks, she even bought him a toy for Christmas! Guadalupe goes above and beyond for her clients, and outside of family- I wouldn't trust Rikki with anyone else!”
About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.
“I appreciate the care Jack received. He got along with her dogs and now is doing better with other dogs. He adjusted well being in a different environment and was happy to see me when I picked him up”
“Lolita was so great. Not only was she very good with my frenchies, but she sent pictures & videos daily. She was always available when I needed to ask any questions. I would definitely book her again. I was very impressed and touched also by how talented she is. She took the time to draw a picture of my babies. I love it so much. My babies took to her right away. Thank you Lolita 💙🩷💙Spencer Elly & Coop”
About: I have been a dog mom most of my life. More recently I’ve worked with a rescue and have experience fostering dogs . All 3 of my dogs are rescues and they are all very different so I’ve learned that they all their own individualized plan I currently work full time so I am available most weekends for boarding. Sometimes I’m off over the summer so my availability opens up then I have a really big fenced yard and a cozy pet friendly home. I have 3 small dogs who I love very much. My heeler mix is a bit fear aggressive towards new people and large dogs but he is obedient and I am working on socializing him more and I know exactly to manage. I’ve fostered a variety of dogs the last year and he just needs time to warm up to new dogs and people. My other 2 are terrier mixes and have been socialized since they were pups.
About: I watch my pastors dogs and my aunts dogs and cat when on vacation. I always make animals feel loved and feel taken care of Anytime I can I can watch your animals I work 2 jobs but willing to take care of your pet like my family. And make sure they are happy I feed them, take them potty and walks, play with them, give them belly rubs and if you need baths for your fur babies it happens
“Christine is amazing! We left our one year old beagle with her for two weeks when we traveled out of the country and felt at ease the whole time knowing she was in such good hands. Lou got frequent walks and playtime with Christine’s pup and we could tell she was sad to leave when we picked her up! We’ll absolutely book with Christine for future trips.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tulare
From the moment we met Mel, we were on board, our only concern was if she felt the same way. You see, our Willow is a rambunctious puppy who is still learning how to behave. Mel introduced her to her pack one at a time and they all got along like they were old friends. That was an introductory visit and when it came time to drop her off for her 5 day stay, Willow was so happy she never even looked back. Mel sent us videos of Willow playing with all of her new friends with text messages assuring us that Willow was doing great. I was concerned that when we picked her up she would not want to leave, but Mel made that transition easy. She has obviously done this before. My only anxiety was whether Mel would be available on our next trip, so to ease my mind I made that reservation immediately after we left. I cannot say enough good things about this entire experience and the peace of mind knowing that Willow is cared for just like she would be if she were home is PRICELESS!!!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Peach! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. She treated Peach with so much love that it truly felt like a member of our own family was taking care of her. She kept us updated, made sure Peach was comfortable and happy, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We are beyond grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Peach again. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and thoughtful to care for their furry family member!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tulare
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tulare is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $54 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 121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tulare. 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.
94% of sitters in Tulare 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 Tulare 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 Tulare.
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 Tulare 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.
