“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.”
“Uriel is a phenomenal dog sitter and we will definitely be using his services in the future. He gave us updates and pictures/video often which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. He was also able to pick and drop off our dogs at our door which was extremely helpful. Uriel is the best!”
“Thiago made it easy and kept us in the loop. While we were away for a week he sent us photos of Rally and a little blurb about what she did that day every afternoon. He has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and Rally was never alone, always having other dogs to play with as he keeps a couple at a time. Thiago was very responsive and when we asked for a pic of Rally relaxed he made it his personal mission to capture one.”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting are wonderful dog sitters! They treated my dog, Pickles, like their own. They sent me several pictures and videos every day. Pickles looked so happy and loved playing with their dogs. They set up a meet and greet at a nearby park to make sure their dogs got along with mine before the boarding. They really prioritize safety and are well organized with a spreadsheet for all the dog’s needs. Thank you both for taking such good care of Pickles!”
“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.”
“The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Chenyang did a great job looking after our dog, Kinsey. We were very comfortable that she was receiving great care and that her medications were being managed appropriately. Communication was great and we appreciated the pictures.”
“Sam and family did a wonderful job caring for our girl Mollie as they always do! Our pup is very sensitive and people oriented so it helps that Sam reads Mollie’s moods and helps her settle in when she arrives. Great pictures help us keep abreast of their adventures together!”
“Guidi is a kind, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. She sent me frequent updates so I never had to worry while I was away. My puppy had a great time with her. She’s a great communicator and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Marielle was amazing with Lani while we were traveling for a wedding. She was very communicative the whole time and kept us updated with photos of Lani exploring the outdoors, relaxing, and just generally having the best time. 10/10 would recommend Marielle - Lani would be excited to stay with her again!”
“We left our puppy (Bronte) with Bo for just under a week and had complete peace of mind. Bo’s approach to settling in Bronte was caring and sensitive to help her adjust to her new surroundings. Bo provided daily updates with pics and she was well cared for, and snapped right back into her normal routine when we picked her back up. Highly recommend Bo.”
“Remo was wonderful and amazing with my little very feisty and at times difficult little minpin chihuahua mix. Highly recommend ! He sent lots of photos and was always responsive. Extremely responsible and kind!”
“Arani & Nupur were friendly and communicative both before and during our dog’s stay with them. We received frequent updates on how she was doing. We would definitely trust them with our dog in the future! Thank you!”
“Our young doodle had an amazing 3-night stay with Kira & her sweet dog. She & her husband went above & beyond our expectations caring for Jack over Christmas. He looked like he was having so much fun in Kira’s thoughtful updates & photos, we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home to us!”
“Maria was great. Really kind, caring, communicative, and she did great with my dog who is sometimes difficult. Thank you Maria, I will definitely contact you again for dog-sitting in the future.”

Our dog Eli had a great time staying with Cindy for 2 weeks! Cindy is very attentive and sends lots of pictures and updates about his daily activities. Additionally, Eli is a senior dog with several medications and a special diet, which Cindy had no problem administering. Thanks Cindy!
Celina is an excellent dog sitter. We hired her for a short weekend trip to attend a family member's wedding on the other side of the country. Celina communicated well, sent photo updates, and took great care of our dogs. Her house is ideal for dogs, with a dedicated downstairs area and backyard for them to run around. We will definitely be booking with Celina again!
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.
