“I needed to find care for my cat on short notice and Ivan was really responsive and made my first time boarding my cat very easy! He sent lots of pictures and updates and he made my very shy cat open up and get comfortable very quickly!”
“Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Katie and Jason are super star dog sitters! My senior dog, Abby, was very comfortable with them. I loved getting all the updates. Katie was really responsive on text and kept to Abby’s schedule and routines. I am so thankful we found them!”
“Rambo had a great time staying with Mario. It was so easy for us, Mario is so friendly and was so flexible with drop off and pick up times. He sent me photographs of Rambo throughout the weekend which was really fun. I will definitely be calling Rambo the next time I go out of town!”
“Michael watched our dog, Atticus, for two days while I was out of town. He provided me with consistent updates with pictures and he walked her twice a day. Michael made us feel like Atticus was part of his family. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog. He went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. They’ve always been at the center of my heart and home. My last two, Pinky and Kika, lived long, happy lives (16 and 18 years), and caring for them taught me patience, attentiveness, and a deep appreciation for every stage of a dog’s life. I offer a calm, loving environment where dogs feel safe and truly cared for, always paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and emotional needs. Whether a dog is playful, shy, or a senior who needs extra gentleness, I treat each one as if they were my own. My husband and I work together to provide a loving and attentive environment for every dog in our care. We focus on helping each dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up for dogs, with a secure and comfortable backyard that’s easy to navigate. We also live just a short walk from a beautiful creek and nearby nature areas, perfect for calm, enriching walks.
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog, super attentive and clearly cared a lot. She took him out on hikes and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which I really appreciated. He came back happy and relaxed. Would happily book with her again.”
“Anne is wonderful and patient with our senior dog. She really made him feel safe and comfortable as he has such separation anxiety. She sent us so many pictures and updates. She is also so observant with his behavior. Thank you Anne for being such a loving and kind sitter! We appreciate you do much!”
“Kitty is great. My dog Buddy loved his stay with her. She provided daily updates for his 10 day stay and he came home healthy and happy. We arranged for a one night stayover prior to his 10 day stay so that he would be familiar with her. he was so taken with her, that when we took him back for his 10 day stay, he was eager and happy to see her again!”

“Lulu had an amazing stay with Diana and Michael. They took the time to meet her upfront, which was the first sign of how much care they put into each pup. They are super responsive and attentive - Lulu was clearly so happy to be in their amazing family home and enjoyed playing with Riley (their dog). They sent tons of photos of her playing and hanging out with everyone, which put me immediately at ease. She looked right at home! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Lulu!”
“Annie is a dedicated animal lover! My dog Scooby usually hates people, but after a week of boarding with her he already grew to love her. She sends so many pictures and videos and is very insightful and knowledgeable about dogs and their peculiar behaviors. She seems to understand Scooby completely! Annie is super responsive. I definitely recommend booking her 🥰”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Half Moon Bay
Michele was wonderful! Our 2 senior rescue pups stayed with her for a week. One of our girls had never been away from us more than a day so we were a little nervous. I had nothing to worry about with Michele but my little Maude ended up being a terror. Keeping Michele up at night barking and not letting her touch her at night. Maude was such a pain and Michele is a saint for putting up with her. Michele also gave them their medicine (oral and ear drops) and kept their feeding schedule. She kept me updated and asked permission before stearing away from my care instructions. I would recommend her and use her again!

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.
92% of Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay 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 Half Moon Bay.
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 Half Moon Bay 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.
