“Judith watched our 7-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog for two weeks while we were visiting family on the East Coast, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Having our sweet senior boy with her felt like leaving him with family. She sent us regular photo updates, gave him so much love, and really understood his needs. Judith is wonderful with dogs—especially seniors—and had no trouble giving his medication and keeping a close eye on him. We’ll absolutely have him stay with her again.”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”
“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“Our longest time away from iggy since we got her and this wonderful family put our minds and hearts at ease. Thank you Virginie and Max! We will always plan our vacations around your availability:)”
“I’m a total helicopter dog mom and Peter was fantastic with Jesse. I felt totally safe leaving her with him and his wife. She even ate her food while I was gone! (she usually goes on a hunger strike for at least a day) Also he sent me a photo of her relaxing in the grass that helped me feel at ease.”
“Chris and Eugena are wonderful. My dogs were so comfortable at their home, and they offered daily and adorable updates. They were very loving and attentive with my boys. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Ulunma was a dream come true! My dog was happy to temporarily become part of her family. Ulunma was very responsive to communication from me and regularly sent me pictures of my dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in great hands. I will surely use her again!”
“Maria & Kevan along with their wonderful girls were amazing petsitters for our Labrador Retreiver, Louie. From the moment I dropped off Louie and met them, I could tell he was going to be completely comfortable, well-cared for, and loved for the duration of his 10 day stay with their family. Receiving a photo or two of Louie each day was amazing and it was heartwarming to see Louie so happy getting lots of snuggles, playtime with his toys, neighborhood walks, and peaceful naps at their feet. Thank you so much to Maria & Kevan and their daughters for making Louie feel like a part of their family! Louie can't wait to visit again!”
“Caio was an excellent sitter for Penny. He took great care of her and shared photos and videos of her enjoying herself with new dog friends she met. Will definitely use Caio again when needed. Thank you!”
“Casey and Sarah were amazing! We booked with them super last minute and they even offered to have a quick FaceTime with us beforehand which really made us feel comfortable. We got the cutest updates of our pup and felt really at ease with her in their care. Definitely will book with them again in the future!”
“I was able to book Marien with kind of a short notice, which I genuinely appreciate. A based off of the daily photo updates, I could safely say Archer enjoyed his stay :) I don’t think he wanted to leave!”
“Kamila is an excellent caregiver! I have two French Bulldogs who I was very nervous about leaving with anyone and Kamila took them in to her home and treated them like her babies. Kamila went above and beyond! I recommend her to anyone looking for their fur babies to be well taken care of!”
“Our dog did well . As this is his first visit and first time boarding , he was comfortable in the environment with other dogs . Yena was patient and knowledgeable. We are coming back and scheduled our next visits.”
“Thank you Frank and Thao for taking such great care of Louie. We appreciated the pictures and updates and looked like he had so much fun playing with Walter in the big backyard. We were comforted leaving our fur baby in your care and will rebook again!!”
“Sofiia and her husband were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her in last minute and were so caring and attentive! Will definitely be using again! Our dog came back happy and rested.”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“Jess was such a caring and attentive dogsitter for Bailey. She has such a calm and warm energy, which was perfect for our senior dog. She sent us photos and videos every day, and kept us updated on her eating. Our dog likes to pace a lot, so Jess spent a lot of time with her in the dog park. We were really nervous about leaving Bailey because we never board her anywhere. Jess immediately put our minds at ease when we met her, and within the first 24 hours we were already receiving cute videos and pics of Bailey. Jess is super responsive, we could always count on her to respond back quickly. Thanks to Jess, we took our first family vacation in 10 years -- and left Bailey in the best hands. I'd highly recommend Jess for dog sitting in the East Bay!”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”

Giselle took care of my dog, Noodles, for two weeks while I was out of the country, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. Noodles was clearly well cared for, comfortable, and happy with her. She provided updates, handled everything responsibly, and treated Noodles with genuine care. Being away for that long can be stressful, but Giselle made the whole experience easy and reassuring. I would absolutely trust her with Noodles again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!
Meza was extremely great! She was communicative and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I accidentally overslept after traveling internationally and she made arrangements to keep my dog for extra night though that wasn’t necessary. She and her boyfriend are incredible people
Chris and Eugenia were absolutely wonderful. They made our goldendoodle, Capri, feel so comfortable and truly at home while we were away. They have a wonderful yard for her to run and play, which she absolutely loved. We also really appreciated how responsive Chris was and how easy it was to communicate with them throughout the entire stay. They were attentive, caring, and went above and beyond by sending us photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Capri was happy and so well taken care of the entire time. We will definitely be using them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving and reliable dog sitter!
Our first time using using rover and Jessica answered all our questions and put us at ease. From the minute they met her they both felt very comfortable. She provided pictures and updates pretty frequently which put us at ease. Will definitely recommend for anyone looking for dog care in the area!
My dog spent two weeks with Stacey and her family and I highly recommend the attention and care that she and her son gave Nova. I was kept updated with pictures and video and my trip was more relaxed knowing that Nova is comfortable and given a lot of attention. I am recommending Stacey and will definitely use her services when traveling.
Excellent dog sitter, our husky had a friend to play with for a few days and our dog looked completely at ease and relaxed with Daniela, laying on her back with tummy exposed and smiling. (Yes, dogs can smile when happy and content). Daniela was very flexible and helped out with a last minute reservation and we could not have asked for more. We will definitely use her services in the future.
We have an older dog, and Christina really took great care of her. She sent us pictures every day, texted us when she had concerns, and basically took care of our dog like she was her own. I would give her the highest recommendation. Her and her husband both seem like very kind people.
Casey and Sarah are great! Pickles loves going to hang with their dachshund and other doggie day care pooches. The daily pics are fun to receive, and I can tell that he is living his best pug life on the couch, etc. Having a trusted pet sitter takes that concern away from travel, and I highly recommend their services!
Jaimie treated Pepper like her own! Her attention to detail is amazing—she even took notes during our meet and greet to make sure she didn't miss a thing. The updates and pictures she sent yesterday kept us smiling and totally at ease. Pepper was so happy! We will definitely be booking Jaimie again💖

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Walnut Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walnut Creek on Rover is $60 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 6,337 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walnut Creek. 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.
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.
