“Great experience! Suzhen was great at communicating as I received many pictures and videos of my pups throughout their stay. She took great care of my dogs, including taking them for walks and I would definitely use her again. Highly recommend leaving your fur babies with Suzhen!”
“I had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Jessica for the second time recently, and once again, she did a fantastic job! Jessica is super responsive and friendly, making the whole process stress-free. She was also very flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciated. One of the best things about leaving my dog with Jessica is her nice backyard, which is perfect for my dog to play and run around in. It's clear that Jessica truly cares about the dogs she watches, as she sent me pictures every day to keep me updated on how my furry friend was doing. Overall, I highly recommend Jessica as a dog sitter on Rover - she's the best!”
“Arthur was a wonderful sitter for our dog! He responded quickly to any questions and sent plenty of updates with pictures. We would love for our dog to stay with Arthur again in the future!”
“This is the 3rd time using Rebeca’s services. When we arrive to her home, home of my dogs jumped out of the car to Rebeca’s arm. And he is a big puppy. He was very happy about staying with Rebecca again. :)”
“Thank you for taking care of my dogs and sending lots of pictures and videos. Yuanyuan and her family were very flexible and kind. As soon as we brought our pups, Yuanyuan’s dad greeted them with a big hug. I hope to book with you soon!”
“As far as I can tell, Connie is a dog lover. She gave me a peace of mind by sending me the update each day. The fact that my fur baby sleeps on her lap shows that she had completely won my dog's trust.”
About: Since childhood, I have been a devoted pet caregiver, with years of hands-on experience looking after dogs of all breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have long trusted me to provide high-quality care, including feeding, engaging play sessions, and attentive daily routines. I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free home environment for every pet. My goal is to ensure that your furry companion feels happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you are away. My part-time work schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of high-quality time and attention to your pups throughout the day. Please feel free to reach out so we can communicate and find the best arrangement for your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my absolute priorities. My home features a secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have two friendly dogs who are great at socializing and keeping your furry baby company.
“Joyce was able to acommodate a last minute booking for our dog Chewie. She was very communicative, quick to respond, and provided many updates on how Chewie was doing which we really appreciated. Also took a lot of good photos of our dog. Their backyard looks very nice to let the dog roam outside and there are two dog parks very close to their house which is a bonus. Appreciate the hospitality for our dog Chewie from Joyce and Patrick! Thank you”
“Rachel was great! I had a last-minute appointment and had to leave my dog with her on short notice. She was so accommodating and kind! My dog JJ had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Yilin is an AMAZING dog sitter. Luna didn’t want to go home because she had such a fun time. I highly recommend her. She is so flexible and empathetic and understanding. I will definitely be using her boarding services again when I have to travel out of town.”
“Steven and Roxie were great with my dog! The stay was only one night this time, but they made sure my dog was comfortable, got exercise, and I got plenty of updates throughout the day. We are going to do a longer stay for a vacation and I know my dog is in great hands.”
“Star was great! Gigi had a wonderful time. It is so comforting to know that your dog is in good hands when you are on vacation. Star gave plenty of updates on our dog’s stay. She went above and beyond to take care of our dog. Gigi was shy and wasn’t eating much, so Star went out of her way to get her some wet food to mix in with her kibbles. I’ll definitely use Star again for future doggy day care!”
“Just picked up my baby from Amy’s place! This time is no different from the past times. Amy’s service just gets better every time I board Hazyl because of her attentive nature. Hazyl was whining once again as we were driving away from her house! Not to mention, she walks right into their house every single time! I know how much Amy and her family treat her as if she were their own pet! I no longer trust anyone else to provide care for my baby. She continues to send me pictures and updates on her daily activities, but I just know she’s in such good hands that I don’t even need to worry. P.S. If you see any negative comments… no, you didn’t! I’m going to continue booking Hazyl with Amy. Your loss, my gain. See you soon—Hazyl and I will be back!!! 🐶🩷”
“It was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter Adrian and Jovan. The large backyard gave our Lucy plenty of room to exercise and explore, which we loved. What really stood out were the consistent updates and messages keeping us informed. It made being away so much easier knowing Lucy was in great hands. Thank you so much!!”
“Josephine watched our gsd again and did great. He’s not an easy dog to watch because he tends to be nervous. She is always responsive and sent us photos throughout the day. Thank you as always Josephine 😊.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut
Alice (Junyi) watched our two husky/shepherd mixes for two weeks while we traveled internationally. One of our pups had an injury scare the day before we left. Alice was accommodating, caring, and communicative, consistently sending us videos, pictures, and status updates multiple times per day to help us feel comfortable with his recovery. Both pups seemed to have a great time playing in the backyard, going on walks, and playing fetch, and overall seemed very comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to having Alice watch the pups again in the future!
Tammy is a wonderful sitter and my dog loves her! I booked a sitting very far ahead of time with many special requests, and she accommodated them all. She also communicated well before and during the sitting. She was very attentive to Teddy, and sent us many pictures and videos of him enjoying himself and even snuggling in someone's lap. I highly recommend booking with Tammy (:
We recently boarded our dog with Xueqing for a 2nd time and can't thank her enough for the incredible care she provided to Morgan. Leaving a pet is always stressful, but she treats Morgan like family. The communication was outstanding; we received daily videos and comprehensive reports on Morgan's new friendships, habits, and behavior- this level of transparency and genuine care is rare. Thank you for looking after our floof so well!
Lu is truly one of the best sitters we have ever had. She took such incredible care of my dog, and treated him like part of her own family. She has a beautiful home with a big grassy yard where my boy was able to run around freely, play ball, and enjoy tug-of-war with her. It made me so happy knowing he had so much space and attention while we were away. My boy is normally a very picky eater and often doesn’t finish his meals, but ever since he came back from staying with Lu, his appetite has been amazing. He has been eating so well, which tells me he felt comfortable, relaxed, and truly happy during his stay. Lu kept us updated, spent quality time playing and interacting with him, and clearly has a natural love for dogs. You can tell she really cares about every pet she watches. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her, and I would trust her again anytime. Highly, highly recommend!
Jamie was great with Gohan! He likes his walks and Jamie and her family were pretty active people so Gohan loved it! She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Gohan seemed very well cared for and would be returning in the future with Jamie and her family. Thank you Jamie!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Walnut
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walnut on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walnut. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
94% of Walnut sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Walnut 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 Walnut 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 Walnut.
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 Walnut 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.
