“This was my first experience using Rover and I had my reservations, but Patty was great from start to finish! She really made me feel at ease with the daily updates and photos. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup. Will book again for sure!”
“Diana was wonderful with my dog, Blue! She took him in on a short notice and gave him so much love and attention. I could tell he felt right at home. She kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Cassidy was amazing! I received pictures of Cloud every day and updates. They even allowed him on furniture, which was important for my cuddle bug. Their other dogs and Cloud had a really fun time, and even met their cat. Surprisingly Cloud was reportedly great with the cat. Now that I have him home he is just chilling right next to me fighting a nap because he had so much fun”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I have 19 years experience caring for dogs including higher needs dogs. I am happy to spend the time to provide any special needs your sweet baby has. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to provide excellent care for your fur babies. I am free most weekends and some holidays. I have a fenced in yard a clean home and fur babies to keep your company. If they don’t fancy fur friends we can hang out somewhere my animals don’t have access to such as the guest bedroom.
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”
“She was very nice and accommodating. It was a last minute booking and my first time using Rover. She kept me updated and sent me pictures several times a day. My dogs came home happy and healthy! We'll use again. Thank you so much!”
“We were looking for someone who could dogsit our 1.5-year-old Shih Tzu for a whole week, and I just had a good feeling when I saw Kimmie’s profile. Since it’s Milo’s first time boarding, we decided to do an overnight trial run first. We’re so glad we found Kimmie! She’s amazing, very responsive, and sends updates, pictures, and videos of our Milo. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“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’ve been a dog lover since I was young, so taking care of dogs comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve had 2 amazing & loving dogs — 1 poodle & 1 lhasa apso. I know how important it is for someone to take care of your babies while you’re away especially when you have other important matters to attend to (I totally understand this)! I promise to give the same love & care to your babies as much as I give mine. From walks, to playtime, to cuddles — your pet is safe and at home with me 🥰🐶 My husband & I are almost always at home & will be able to take care of your fur baby. I’ll make sure to give your babies frequent potty breaks & all the necessary playtime, cuddles, and attention they need to feel comfortable & loved 🥰 I know how important safety & trust are when it comes to caring for your babies. I assure you that I will provide them with plenty of attention & care. I will make sure they get frequent potty breaks, are well-fed, and feel safe around me & my furbaby. We’ll treat your baby like family 🥰
“Gail was a pleasure to work with! She is just a sweetheart and makes you feel totally comfortable to leave your loved one with her. She sent us pictures throughout the whole stay with her and updated us on how our mini poodle is feeling the entire time. She was easy to communicate with as well when booking and coordinating the drop off and pick up. Would totally recommend anyone to use her.”
“Amber and Chris were very responsive and sent pictures of Murphy daily while I was away. They were also super helpful in accommodating taking care of Murphy and for pickup. Would def. have Murphy stay with them again and their 2 pups!”
“Christine is awesome! This was my first experience using a pet sitting service so I was a bit hesitant to leave my pup with a stranger. Upon meeting Christine I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that my dog would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages which I really appreciated. Christine was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I can't recommend her more!”
About: Wah Gwaan! My Name is Ronley and I just moved to California from Jamaica! I am a dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs. In Jamaica, I helped run a kennel with more than 35 dogs at a time and regularly worked on basic training and behavior. I was never formally certified because certification was not required there, but I gained years of real-world experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Since moving to the U.S., I’m excited to get back into the dog world. I love everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I bring lots of energy, patience, and love to every dog I care for. I currently work part-time and am available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with additional availability depending on the day as I work Nights. During my off-season, from November 2026 through March 2027, I’ll have full-time availability for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime! Safety is always a priority for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision, and make sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I also respect every client’s home and treat their pets like family.
About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 10 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 10 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I leave the house at around 7:30 a.m most days and get home around 3-4 p.m. My husband works full time but has about 2 days off each week so those days he’d be home all day. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Visalia
So grateful for Veronica! We were so nervous to leave our pups with someone new but she took such great care of them. One of our dogs had some tummy troubles and she checked in to make sure she could give him cooked carrots and rice and chicken. She gave us status updates and send videos and we could see our babies felt comfortable. So very happy we found her!
Patty and her family were very receptive to Ivy and they offered a warm and inviting environment. Ivy, who is a companion animal is excitable in new environments but this did not seem to be a problem for Patty and her family. We are very happy and will not hesitate to book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Visalia is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 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 124 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Visalia. 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 Visalia 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 Visalia 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 Visalia.
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 Visalia 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.
