“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”

About: I enjoy caring for all animals and I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility and free time. I have a cat who is very loved and I have a lot of dog-sitting experience from family and friends. I have experience giving baths and medications if needed. I try to stay active and go for walks throughout the day which would be great for dogs and I enjoy playing tug of war, catch, and other activities to keep your dogs active and entertained. They will be happy and well taken care of with my fiancée and I. I work from home and have flexibility to take the dog for a walk and give attention during my breaks and when I am not in meetings. I live in a secure apartment complex with a lot of places to walk nearby. There are security cameras and doors with key fob access only for security.

I really appreciated the updates and knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!💕”

Mahrya’s kind and welcoming demeanor put us at ease, and we were confident that Mila would receive the love and care she deserved.

Highly recommend leaving you’re pet to be cared for by Jordan thank you for taking care of Icelyn while I was away you did an amazing job caring for her also I appreciate the extra steps you took toward her going in heat during her stay very much appreciated thank you!
This was the first time that I have left my senior girl since her life companion passed so I was extremely nervous, but Raissa was amazing and took extraordinary care of her. She was attentive, and sent me regular pictures, letting me know in detail what my dog was doing, and when she noticed she was a little nervous/anxious she went above and beyond. She addressed her needs by taking extra time outside, and adjusting her own schedule, treating her as one of her own. I am so grateful and I definitely highly recommend her.
Francesco was happy to work with our tight schedule. He met us at the dog park around the block from his apartment to get to know our dog. He provided excellent communication, pictures and updates, and Babette was a happy girl when we picked her up after two nights with Francesco. Highly recommended!
Achara took such good care of Mochi! She kept us updated throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Mochi looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for in all the updates she sent us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you so much, Achara, for taking such great care of our sweet Mochi! We would definitely book with you again. 🐶❤️
We had a last min chaotic wedding weekend and Rosalinda came to the rescue! She was reliable, flexible and easy to communicate with. She really helped me feel at ease to leave the pups with her. She was great at sending updates and videos and whenever I needed a little extra check in she quickly responded. Cerulean was happy and healthy when I returned for pick up! Rosalinda adapted well to my dogs and their different needs. Thanks again!!
Alex was amazing. Our dog is a rescue and she has been so scared around other humans and dogs. We've had a hard time getting her into pet hotels because she is too scared to even enter. Alex came over a few times and spent hours with her to get to know her. She has so much patience. Then we dropped our dog off for our out of state trip. Alex did so amazing taking care of her. She sent pictures and videos regularly. We were so relieved. Alex also helped socialize her to the point where our baby was best friends with both Alex and her dogs by the end. I can't recommend her enough.
Sunshine and Shannon have taken such great care of Lulu! They are kind, caring, and very communicative, always sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I can tell Lulu absolutely loves her time with them because she runs right to their front door when we arrive! 🐾 I feel completely comfortable leaving Lulu in their care and know she is being well loved and taken care of. We’re so happy we found them and would definitely recommend Sunshine and Shannon to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Matt and his wife are amazing! I was leaving my German shepherd mix for the first time which made me nervous because he is so young and high energy. After leaving my dog with Matt I felt so much better, I felt reassured that my dog was in good hands. My dog got to play with other dogs and get his energy out and I received lots of photos and videos throughout the stay which made me feel so much better! I’m happy that I found a great dog sitter nearby who is also very affordable!! Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s nervous about leaving their dog for the first time!
Elizabeth was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Elizabeth again.
We needed a last minute dog sitter for our labradoodle Brooke. Grace was very responsive and we are glad we found her as a new sitter. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a great time going on walks and looked happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with Grace again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Sacramento is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $75 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 of October 2026, there are 1,657 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Sacramento. 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.
95% of sitters in West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento.
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 West Sacramento 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.
