“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“David was great! He clearly cared for dog and our needs to make us comfortable. His home was cozy and quiet which for our dog who is anxious was a blessing to keeping her happy and settled. Our dog is on medication and David took care of this for us with no concerns or issues. We also happened to have a very hectic schedule, David was flexible and easy to coordinate with which really made the process so much easier! Thanks, David!”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Luke was awesome. My pup Casper loved him immediately, like he was an old friend. And I could tell that he really cared about dogs. He sent lots of photos of Casper and his own dogs on long walks or playing together, which gave me huge peace of mind that my dog was in good hands. I’d recommend Luke to anyone, and would happily return for pet sitting. I’m sure Casper would love another pet weekend getaway too.”
“Gordon & Allison were wonderful to Penny, our 14 year old Yorkie. They did a meet-and-greet with us to understand Penny's personality and needs before agreeing to watch her. They sent us wonderful updates throughout Penny's stay with pictures that helped reassure us that Penny was doing okay. You could tell through the pictures that Penny was very comfortable with them. We did a lot of research and meet-and-greets with various sitters before agreeing to hand over our precious puppy to Gordon & Allison; they were our top choice! We're fortunate to have found Gordon & Allison and will have Penny stay with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of her.”
“The best. Incredibly warm and friendly. Took very good care of my senior dog, Sophie, who needed medication every 4 hours. And we’re flexible when I requested an extension on Sophie’s stay. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
“Julia is lovely and trustworthy, and has a lovely family who provided a happy home for our baby boy while I was traveling. She provided regular photos and updates, and was good about following care instructions. I would love to continue to have her take care of my Frenchie.”
“Thanks to her care, my first long trip was a great success. I didn’t worry at all while I was away. Also my little dog loves her! Thank you so much for everything!! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future when she’s available :)”
“Regina is a great sitter. My dog Itsy loves her and Ace. She keeps me posted on her time with comments and pictures. It warms my heart to see and hear my Itsy is enjoying her stay in her home.”

Bo is an amazing dog sitter. He did the best job watching my dog Konnan for me for 5 days. Bo was very responsive, kind, reliable, understanding, and communicative throughout the booking. He kept me updated everyday with pics and updates. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. Bo was very professional and kind and trustworthy. I will continue to book Bo for future dog sitting requests. Thank you, Bo!
Daisy loves her stays with Maggie & Matthew...and I love knowing how thoughtful and attentive they are. In addition to pictures and videos, they really notice details about how Daisy is feeling. She's a senior dog, and they are attuned to changes in her eating, appearance, and movement. I can tell from the videos how comfortable and confident Daisy feels in their home, and I'm so grateful!
Shao was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute dog sitter for a weeklong trip and it worked out great! Shao was attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos, documenting dogs and playtime. She lives near the airport which makes drop off and pick up convenient. Will be leaving my pup with her again in the future, without hesitation!
Catherine and her husband were amazing with Bentley! I’m so grateful for the love and care they gave him over the weekend. Catherine kept me updated with photos, which I always appreciate! It means so much knowing Bentley is happy and being so well taken care of while I’m away. I’m so thankful to have found such wonderful people to care for Bentley and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much! 🫶🏼
Derrick was fantastic with Floyd and Snoopy during their five-day stay! 🐶🐶 He did a great job making sure both dogs’ individual wants and needs were taken care of, and we really appreciated how attentive he was to them. When Floyd had an upset stomach during the stay, Derrick communicated with us right away and kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. ❤️ We felt very confident knowing they were in his care, especially since this was our first time using a sitter after just moving to the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! Derrick was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. 🐾 We’re really looking forward to having him as our go-to dog sitter and feel lucky to have found someone we can trust! ⭐️
Karla was wonderful with my 7-year-old cockapoo, Appa. Appa and I recently moved to the Bay Area, and this was my first time having someone who wasn’t family dog-sit for me overnight. Karla kept me in the loop with photos and video updates. She also took Appa for extra walks. Appa is naturally anxious , but he quickly warmed up to Karla. I would highly recommend her pet care services to every dog owner on this app. I feel so at peace knowing that I now have a trusted dog sitter in my new environment.
Annie & Will are amazing sitters! They truly treated my dog like he was part of the family. I could tell that they really cared and put in a lot of effort to make sure he was well taken care of from daily walks, to cuddles, to engagement and training. Communication was excellent, they let me know exactly what to expect and they constantly sent me videos and pictures of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Highly recommend them and I will definitely seek them out for dog sitting again in the future!
Renee and Christopher are so loving to our senior dog Jeffrey and they care for him like their own. They keep us informed of Jeffrey’s day. Jeffrey is always content and that makes me happy. When Jeffrey stays with Renee and Christopher I can get away knowing he is in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Brisbane
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brisbane is $81 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $111 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 October 2026, there are 5,767 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brisbane. 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane.
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 Brisbane 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.
