“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”
“We had such a great experience with Cecilia and Ethan! I was honestly a little nervous at first since I had never used Rover before or had strangers care for our dogs, especially since one of our dogs requires daily medication. We decided to do an initial meet-and-greet beforehand so we could get to know Cecilia and Ethan and make sure they were the right fit, and I’m so glad we did! I shared a detailed care guide with them, and they followed everything to a tee. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, and responsive throughout our entire trip. They also went above and beyond by taking our dogs out to the lake and even to Monterey! We received lots of photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs basically had a little vacation of their own! 🥹 It’s very clear that Cecilia and Ethan genuinely care about dogs and put a lot of thought into making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be going with Cecilia and Ethan again the next time we need someone to care for our dogs. Highly recommend them! 🐶♥️”
“Lily has been an absolutely awesome to work with. She was very caring and loving with our dog. She sends us pictures at least twice or thrice a day keeping us updated about how our dog is doing which kept us informed and at peace. Our dog loves to spend time with lily and her family and we have seen this first hand when our dog gets super excited when we enter their street. I am more than happy with Lilly’s service and recommend her for sure.”
“Being a first time user of Rover. I was feeling skeptical on using a dog sitter that wasn't recommended or known. As a pet owner, you worry about who you trust to watch your pet. I researched and chose Clare after reading her reviews. My skepticism went away when Clare suggested a meet and greet to make sure my dog felt comfortable at her house with her dog Clare was great. She took interest in my dog and wanting to know more about her. Clare is very caring and maintains a very safe and clean environment for the dogs. We ended up booking with Clare and my dog was so well taken care of. Clare welcomed my dog as if it was her own, she took pictures and kept me posted on how she was doing, and the best part my dog was happy to be there with Clare! I have already rebooked with Clare and highly recommend her!”
“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”
“Very happy repeat customer! You know they’re good when your dog jumps up and down in excitement as soon as you bring the dog bed to the car and jumps right in 😅!”
“Eileen has always been wonderful with Neo! I have left Neo under Eileen’s care for more than three times now. Neo requires extra attention due to her occasional seizures and specialized diet for the same, and Eileen took perfect care of her. Eileen quickly responded to messages and kept me updated via text and pictures of Neo. Neo came back happy, and we will definitely be using Eileen again!”
About: Raised my 4yo doodle from 8 weeks. Both my husband and I are WFH. As a routine we walk our dog 5 times a day. We are patient, calm and reliable and cherish dogs as they are part of the family. I always communicate well via text and photos to give you a peach of mind while away from home. Both my husband and I are both working from home. Flexible schedule to accommodate yours. Can walk your doggy as often as needed and play with them anytime. We prefer to arrange drop off and pick up times between 7:30am and 7:30pm due to our little kid’s schedule. Appreciate your understanding! Safety is our top priority. We have a safe area for dogs to hang out and pay great attention to the dogs as we are WFH. Dogs will stay with my wonderful, friendly Momo who is a calm and gentle doodle. He is a neutered male with boarding experience before. We have a big backyard with fence so no risk for loss. I only allow one dog boarding at once so your dog will get all the attention it deserves.
“Heather and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog! She is trustworthy, communicative and clearly a dog lover! She sent us pictures every day while we were away, and we knew our girl was well taken care of. We will absolutely book with Heather again!!”
“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Yingjia! We boarded Phoebe with her for two nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she received. Yingjia was kind, caring, and made us feel completely comfortable by sharing regular updates and photos. Most importantly, Phoebe came home happy and relaxed, which says it all! 🐶❤️ We’re so grateful for the wonderful care Yingjia provided and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for Phoebe’s future stays!”
“Sameer is superb. He truly loves and understands dogs and took such good care of our girl. His home and yard are beautiful which reflects a level of care and pride that shows in how he cares for the dogs. He sent photos every day and seemed to really enjoy the time with our dog and a few others he was sitting during the same week. He came highly recommended to us and we will certainly use him again.”
“Pamela took such good care of my furbaby. Constant updates on how she was doing and made sure to upkeep routine and care. Definitely kept my furbaby busy and entertained throughout her stay. Pamela was also accommodating when updating her of my situation. Definitely recommend her for pet sitting”
“Nancy have excellent communication. She sent us photos during our dog's stay as well as updates. We had some daycare stays prior to our long trip and Nancy was very flexible and helpful in planning these and helping our dog be comfortable away from home. We have a high energy dog and Nancy took him for daily walks to keep up with his routine. We are so thankful that he has a home away from home with Nancy and her family. Highly recommend!”

We couldn't be happier with Kimberly and the care she gave our Willow! From the moment she watched her, Kimberly went above and beyond to make sure Willow was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Willow had a injury that needed extra attention, and Kimberly was absolutely wonderful about keeping it clean, checking on it, and making sure it didn't become irritated or infected. She was attentive to Willow's needs, patient with her as she settled in, and careful about introducing her to the other dog. One of the things we appreciated most was Kimberly's communication. She kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos, letting us know how Willow was doing throughout her stay. Knowing that Willow was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. It's clear that Kimberly genuinely loves dogs. We are so grateful for the attention she gave Willow and the extra effort she put into making sure she was doing well. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter! We would absolutely trust her with Willow again. Thank you, Kimberly, for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brightside is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $99 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,793 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brightside. 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.
93% of sitters in Brightside 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 Brightside 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 Brightside.
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 Brightside 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.
