“We had an amazing experience with xiaoting while we were in the hospital delivering our baby. She was incredibly flexible with our changing dates and pickup timing, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during such an unpredictable time. She went above and beyond by preparing Mocha’s food when needed and kept us updated with frequent videos and messages throughout her stay. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Mocha was. When we needed to extend her stay unexpectedly, she was extremely accommodating and treated her like he was her own dog. We could truly see in every video how much love and attention Mocha received, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed her time there. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Caihua was wonderful! She was so sweet to our pitbull, Shelly and provided us with dozens of videos and updates while we were on our vacation which gave us a great piece of mind. She has a great backyard that Shelly loved running around in! Not to mention she was available last minute for us during our Christmas vacation!”
“Jane and Ray are the Greatest. I always feel so comfortable and secure leaving my Sweetie with them. They give excellant care and love to her and Sweetie is so happy there like a second home. They are my go to boarder any time I need to be away.”
“Yuan was really sweet and caring to my dog. She sends me updates in the form of texts and videos that gave me peace of mind- knowing that my pet is in good hands. Grateful that she accepted my booking at the last minute, and some modifications. 10/10 💙”
“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!”
“Amazing first time experience booking a last minute boarding with Arthur. He took very good care of my 2 puppies which I had no idea how it was going to be since they are husky. They had 2 dogs of their own and Im glad my girls were able to get along well with theirs since they never had any contact with any other animals. Arthur stayed in contact with me every day and took pictures and videos to ensure us there was nothing to worry about. They look happy and dont seem stress at all. I am confident that he has many experience dealing with pets and I will be booking with him again when ever I need a sitter or to board my 2 girls. Arthur, big THANKS and see you soon!”
“Great host！Good Communicator! Took both of my dogs to be babysitted since my wife and I went on our vacation, but our dogs had a more spoiled and pampered vacation than us. Couldn't thank Yilin and her husband more!”
“Joyce and Patrick were so wonderful — they took care of Theo, my kitten, like their own pet. They really care and are genuine, flexible, and communicative. I loved the updates and photos of Theo while I was away and it would give me peace of mind. They are both very trustworthy and have good judgment with animals. I can tell Theo was well taken care of—and I would totally book with Joyce again!”
“Rebecca is always great with Bodhi even though he is a high energy pup. He loves visiting and always has a blast with the other dogs. Very dependable dog sitter! Thank you!! :)”
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.
“I must say a big thank you to Connie! She gives my two morkies so much love! She is so kind and lovable and I can see the TLC in their eyes. Connie also sends me videos and photos of my fur babies. I just adore my little ones so much. No one better than Connie to love and care for my babies. ?”
“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!”
“Junyi responded very quickly. She is friendly and easy to communicate with, and is familiar with dogs' living habits. Her residence is very suitable for dogs to rest and play. She spent a lot of time accompany my dog. She and her family are excellent Rover hosts. My dog really likes them. This is one of the most reassuring experiences of dog boarding.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am a big dog lover and have raised my own dogs since they were babies, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention they need at every age. I can help with feeding, walking, basic puppy training, senior dog care, and giving lots of love and affection. I also enjoy preparing simple dog-friendly meals, such as chicken breast and egg yolk, when allowed by the owner. I live in a spacious home with a large yard in a safe, quiet neighborhood. There is also a big park nearby, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. Your dog will be safe, comfortable, and loved like family with me. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom, so pets can stay with me almost all day. I have a very flexible schedule and can give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and a spacious two-story home where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I usually live alone, and sometimes my daughter stays with me when she is back from college. I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the home clean, and make sure pets are supervised, loved, and well cared for.
“Steven and Roxie took such good care of Cash for us over the weekend! I’m usually very anxious to leave our dog with other people because he can get separation anxiety sometimes but Steven and Roxie were so communicative with me throughout the weekend, sending lots of pictures and updates! They kept cash busy with lots of hikes and play dates at the park and were super accommodating with my schedule. They’re true dog lovers and very responsible dog sitters, so glad to have found them~ thank you so much Steven, Roxie, and Baso! ?”

Our dog spent a week with Suzhen and he was well taken care of. She is easy to communicate with and sent photos and videos of him daily. It was his first time to stay with her, and she took the time to ask questions about him prior to his stay to make sure she would be able to meet his needs which I really appreciated.
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!

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.
