“Ivan was wonderful with our Bernadoodle! He sent a ton of photos and I felt super comfortable knowing our pup was loved and cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Ivan and plan to have Summit stay with him again in the future.”
“There are some great dog sitters, and some of them also happen to be genuinely great people. That’s how we feel about Katie and Jason. Not only did they love our dog Archie and care for him like he was their own, they kept this nervous dog mama leaving her pup for the first time informed, reassured, and entertained with the frequent updates, photos and videos sharing all the fun and love Archie was having. We cannot thank Katie and Jason enough for not only being excellent caregivers, but also being exceptional humans. They are DEFINITELY our go-to from now on for any future trips we have to take without our Archie!”
“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!”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“Alissa took good care of Kody and sent us photos daily during his 5-day stay. We could see that he was being well cared for, taken on daily walks, and happy and that gave us lots of peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Alissa.”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Our two goldens had the BEST time with Cynthia and her family in Pacifica! She sent lots of photos, took them on lots of walks and adventures, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. Can’t imagine a better Rover experience!”
“Ellen was great. She took such great care of Brinkley. We were nervous to leave him as he was not in the best of health and it was the first time leaving him with Ellen. But she sent us updates and photos so we were relieved to know he was in good hands. And he was happy and well taken care of when we returned a week later. Would definitely recommend Ellen.”
“Katherine was incredibly attentive to our senior dog and made him feel at home! We are grateful for her many updates and great communication, and we know our dog would love to stay with her again!”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“This is our second time having our dog board with Zicheng. We have had a great experience. They are very kind and so is their dog, Kennedy. They were very flexible and communicative with how Mochi was doing. They would send pictures daily on how Mochi was doing as well which was great! Would definitely continue booking with them when needed. Thank you!”
“I am so grateful to have found Annie as a pet sitter. She is reliable, responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, gave my pets plenty of attention and playtime, and made them feel comfortable and loved while I was away. It’s clear that she truly cares about the pets she watches, and my pets bonded well with both her and her dog Hunter, as well as the other boarded dogs.”
“Marie is a star dog sitter, she made my dog part of her family. She bathed my dog, switched up his food Without me asking when he became picky while I was traveling. I received more photos and videos of my dog than I have ever received with a babysitter for my three human children. This was an incredible experience I will be choosing Marie every time we travel.”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Had a great experience with yu-Liang and yi-ting dog sitting our pet Bella. They were very responsive and sent lots of photos. Would definitely have them dog sit again in the future. Recommend!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Half Moon Bay on Rover is $74.9 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Half Moon Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
