“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“Martha made my dog feel super comfortable and at home. She also provided me with daily updates while I was out of the country, multiple times a day. I was very pleased and comfortable that my dog was in her care. Will definitely reach out to her the next time I go on vacation. She is the best sitter my dog has ever had!”
“Rambo stayed with Esther on two occasions. I'm usually pretty nervous about leaving Rambo but Esther made me (and Rambo) feel at ease. She sent a lot of fun pictures of Rambo going on walks, hanging out with her dog Reno or cuddling up on the couch. Esther took him on so many walks, and made Rambo feel at home. Esther happens to live in the same apartment complex as me and anytime Rambo and I walk past her place, Rambo tries to go towards her door so I know he had a great time. I will definitely continue to have Esther take care of Rambo anytime he needs sitter. :)”
“Thank you so much for such wonderful care for our Miss Appa! It was so nice to relax at our out-of-town event and see the pics/videos of her getting walks and play times. And that was so nice of you to sleep down on the couch with her. She is a lucky dog!”
“Michael has cared for my rowdy husky several times, and my dog is always excited to see him. He understands her needs and takes good care of her. He also sends a lot of pictures and updates, which I truly appreciate!”
“Greta had a great time staying with Brandee. Brandee is always so sweet and prompt to respond. I loved the photos and video she sent for Mother's Day. It is reassuring to know that Greta is in good hands when we are away.”
“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“I had a last minute change and needed a boarding one day before I left and Bari was the first to respond to my request. She is easy to communicate, always responds quickly so our communication was very efficient. I received a lot of photos everyday and could clearly see how happy my dog Youmi was during the stay! Absolutely great boarding experience. Will contact her again I need dog boarding in the future.”
“Miya was absolutely amazing. She kept in constant contact with us and we loved the videos and pictures. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again. We are very selective on who keeps our dog because he is spoiled and really attached to us and Miya was the perfect fit.”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection while following their normal routine. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, companionship, and other pet-care needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each pet parent. I give pets plenty of attention while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.
“Jared is a blessing! He made himself available for a meet & greet and instantly made us feel comfortable with leaving Zuko there. Jared was always quick to respond and sent daily pictures of our boy. It’s safe to say Zuko absolutely loved his stay! Will definitely be booking with Jared again! ☺️”
“Thank you for being the first people to take care of our little Maxine while we took a trip. She was so well taken care of, they shared pictures to let us know how she was doing, they communicated well with us!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for more than 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and through TrustedHousesitters. Earlier in my career, I worked at a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care. I’ve also volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, helping with transportation, fostering dogs in need, and walking dogs at the rescue. That’s actually where I met and eventually adopted my own Golden Retriever and Mini Goldendoodle! My family has been active on TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, both as pet owners and sitters. Being on the other side of the experience has given us a real appreciation for how important it is to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. We love giving that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home most days so am open to taking care of pets in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends with a 1 week notice. I can also stay at your house and work remotely if you require someone to be with your pets throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I do not like kenneling dogs so unless this is a request of yours, your dog(s) will not be kenneled. They will have full roam of my house and will have access 24/7 to the backyard via the doggy door.
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of my little girl! She provided me with updates and was accommodating of my schedule. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“April was great with our puppy. We booked his stay with April a week in advance, but a day before we left he hurt his paw and the vet gave him a number of medications to take. We considered canceling but April assured us that she could administer the medications and take care of his paw. She sent us daily updates and really reassured us he was doing well. She was amazing.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in West Sacramento is $56
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Sacramento
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.
Marc and Rachael took really great care of Kona, who can sometimes be a handful. She trusted them right away and they even introduced her to another dog with ease. Kona has a hard time with meeting new dogs and Marc and Rachael did it without any problems AND during their first time with her. I would definitely board Kona again with them in the future.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Sacramento on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,654 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 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 West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento 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 West Sacramento 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 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 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.
