“We loved using Lauren for our dog’s weekend stay! She provided daily updates and accommodated our dogs needs really well. Will definitely use her services again!”
“ My two Labradoodles stayrd the Memorial Day weekend with Marion Russo. They had a wonderful time playing with her and her dogs. When I brought them home they were relaxed and tired. I will use Marion's services whenever she is available. A great experience.”
“Siarra is the most kind and caring dog friendly person I have met! She keeps me informed with quick updates and photos. I never have to worry about how my pup is because I am in the loop. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so! Highly recommend!!”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”
“Cabby had a great time with Heather and Calob for 4 days. They sent daily updates with pictures. It was nice to know she was getting good care which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“Julie is the best! She not only took incredible care of our 10-year old dog Maxine, she helped make our dream of having her in our wedding possible. She brought her to the venue looking brushed and beautiful, and picked her up after a couple hours to go home and rest. Julie was wonderful with sharing adorable pictures and updates about Maxine, and her dog Charlie is as sweet as can be. She was able to administer Maxine’s medication with no problems, and we knew the whole time that Maxine was in great hands. Highly recommend Julie if you need someone to take gentle care of your senior doggie in the St. Helena area!”
“Mariaelena was great with our two dogs. They are both elderly and one unexpectedly became a bit grouchy about his kennel and was sure to keep up reassured that everyone was doing fine despite the unexpected. Would totally trust her with our doggies anytime.”
“Super caring and accommodating. Tiffany sent notes and pictures during Ramble’s stay and allowed me to grab Ramble for a few hours so that I could treat him for a walk and dinner date.”
“Arianna took care of our senior pug. She was very kind to him and considerate of his needs (for example not walking in the heat). She provided a lot of updates and photos as well. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Your dogs are gonna LOVE staying with Jacob & Shayla! They’ll have new friends to play with and come home all tuckered out! My 5 year old lab absolutely loves Jacob, it makes my heart happy knowing they are loved too. The boarding space that Jacob & Shayla have created on their farm is delightful and well thought out. I highly recommend them if you’re in the Sonoma/Petaluma area and need a loving space for your dogs. Side note- if you’re on Sniff Spot, they have an AWESOME space for your dogs to get some exercise while you’re traveling!”
About: I am home all day with my little pup and she would love a playmate and a sniffing buddy on her walks. We enjoy the local dog parks and never repeat the same walks twice in a row. She is very good about sharing her toys. I have always had large dogs so I’m quite comfortable with them as well. My yard is only partially bounded with hedges. So all potty breaks are accomplished with walks on leash. Or at either of the 2 off leash fenced dog parks here. I have experience giving oral medication with or without food as prescribed. And I only give bones under constant supervision on chew mat. It will be taken away at the end of the chew session. I am home all day with my pup and would like to care for dogs that we can fold into our routine of 3 walks a day. We hit the dog parks at least twice a day. I can only work with socialized dogs who behave and walk well on a leash. For overnight stays, they must be able to sleep on their own bed/crate. All my furniture is slipcovered so dogs are welcome to nap on the couch if they want. The whole house is hardwood floors and no stairs inside. I normally feed my dog 3 times a day and do not leave food out all day - just water is available all day. Treats are only used during training sessions or as rewards for doing something - a trick, a bath … etc
“Kyle was excellent with our senior dog, Oatmeal. He gave us regular updates with photos and our dog felt very comfortable in his home. We will definitely book with Kyle again in future.”
“Dash had a wonderful time with Giezell and her family. They treated him as their own. He was well taken care of. Love the pics and videos Giezell sent, especially the one with her daughter hugging Dash! We will definitely be back!”
“Sarah and Matt were so fantastic. Our dog is 15 years old and recently suffered from separation anxiety and they were so understanding. They were kind and communicative. Their home was calm and clean and left us feeling like our boy was in good hands.”
“Angela was amazing with our dog, Gryffin! This was our first experience with Rover, and she made it all so easy. She shared pictures of Gryf while we were gone, and we could tell he loved staying with her!”
“Beware: Lindsey is the greatest dog sitter of all time! After a two-week stay with Lindsey, our dog Ghost was genuinely disappointed when she got home. Lindsey took the best care of our 13-year-old dog, giving her all of the exercise, stimulation, play, rest and love that we could hope for. We know this because Lindsey is a great communicator, sharing photos, videos and stories about their day. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Our dog had a fantastic time with Gregory! She loved the open space and hanging out with the other dogs as well. Gregory took great care of our Frenchie! Looking forward to her next stay.”
“Ana was absolutely amazing with my Goldendoodle! She took such great care of him, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved in her care. I would definitely trust Ana to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Ana!! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 824 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Zinfandel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Zinfandel 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 Zinfandel 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 Zinfandel.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Zinfandel. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Zinfandel 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
