“Awesome environment for our pup. Sylvia was highly accommodating and had us at ease immediately. She took really great care of Lolly, and provided a bunch of pictures every day. Definitely intend to be a repeat client.”
“Pratik and his wife took very good care of my Whiskey and even sent me pictures and videos everyday. They made sure he got his daily exercise/play with other dogs. Will definitely book with them again next time.”
“Our two little ones seem to have had the time of their lives. They arrived home happy and relaxed, and spoiled with home cooked food. Mariola provided daily pictures and updates. Could not have asked for more.”
“We are again so fortunate to have found Sally. Everytime Katsu and Kimchi stays with Sally, they have a vacation. From open indoor-outdoor playgrounds to making new doggy friends to ongoing videos and pictures that are lovingly taken, we feel our boys are always in wonderful hands.”
“Shirley is professional, prompt, and communicates regularly with updates. My baby stayed with Shirley for the weekend for dog boarding and I highly recommend anyone to choose this service with Shirley. I will be rebooking again!”
“This was our dogs first stay with Aiko and Dennis. They were friendly and great at sending updates. Our dog is older, so we were grateful knowing she was well taken care of in a relaxing home setting. We would happily book with them again. Thanks!!”
“Suzanne is a wonderful and trustworthy dog sitter. She has a beautiful property for dogs to roam around safely outside. She also helped with my dogs eye drops and pills with no problem.”
“Karla and her family were exceptional sitters for our chihuahua mix, Bentley. We were gone for two weeks, but felt confident that our dog was being treated like a member of the family. We got daily updates, which included pictures of Bentley snuggling with the fam, playing with their dog Roxy, and strolling the beach. Karla was also very flexible when our flight got delayed. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip!”
“Our pup had a great overnight trip at Yena’s home. She loved getting to play with the other dogs. Yena is so good with them all! She sent lots of pictures and videos, so it was easy to tell our dog was in great hands! Will definitely book again”
“Lucas was a great host! We love getting photos of our pup when we are away from her and Lucas sent daily updates and many photos. Our dog was tired when we picked her up from playing with the other dogs at Lucas' house. We did a meet and greet before the booking to meet Lucas. He was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend and will book with him again!”
“Vanson and his wife Ella were great. They sent me videos and pictures of our dogs having so much fun. Their home is so comfortable and dog friendly. I highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies!”
“Kate and her family were wonderful! We just moved and Grizzly was a bit stressed. He settled in immediately at their house and had plenty of play time. I appreciated the regular updates and picture while we were away. Thank you!”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Stacey is amazing, and it's clear that she really cares about her pup visitors. My dog stayed with her for a full week, and at the start, he wouldn't eat his food. Stacey fed him by hand (a messy wet stew, mind you) and got him comfortable in his new environment. My dog loved her son and his friends, and she even let him sleep downstairs with my dog since he could not climb stairs. I don't know many people who are this caring and generous with their affection, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Stacey! We would love to rebook, if my dog's sock-stealing is forgiven :D.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Creek
Sofia was very quick to respond, flexible in drop off times, and very professional. She took excellent care of our dog and made sure to send daily updates on how he was going. HIGHLY recommend! Our dog was sad to leave his favorite doggy boarding home 💜 I’m already rebooking for another trip!!
Grazyna took wonderful care of our 9-pound Havanese, Tuxedo, while we were away for a week on our summer vacation. She has experience with toy breeds and really understands their unique personalities and needs, which immediately put me at ease. She took Tuxedo on walks a couple of times each day through the beautiful gardens in her neighborhood and to a nearby grassy park. He had opportunities to socialize with other dogs, both big and small, and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Throughout our trip, Grazyna sent photos and thoughtful updates, and she was always incredibly quick to respond whenever I checked in. She is responsible, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. Her home is also very clean and well maintained, which gave me even more confidence that Tuxedo was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Grazyna again. She is exactly the kind of pet sitter you hope to find: kind, respectful, careful, dependable, and someone who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs. I highly recommend her!
Kahn did a wonderful job with our dog Charlie. It was Charlie’s first time to stay over at someone’s house and Charlie immediately bonded with Kahn. Kahn takes only one dog at the time and Charlie received a lot of attention and walks. Kahn sent us messages with pictures and videos letting us know how Charlie was doing almost on daily basis. Kahn is very flexible, understanding, caring and trustworthy. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and would like him to be a sitter for Charlie again.

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.
92% of Walnut Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek.
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 Creek 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.
