“I could tell our dog had a great time with Alvin! He was incredibly understanding, attentive and sent us regular updates. He had no problem giving our dog his medicine as well. Our dog can be a handful and has a lot of energy - Alvin made sure to provide daily walks, play time and cuddles. He was also very mindful when having our dog & his dog meet and get used to each other. Our dog was well taken care of and we are so grateful :) We would definitely let our dog stay with him again. We recommend Alvin if you’re looking for someone kind, accommodating, and devoted to making your dog comfortable!”
“Tracy was great! She got Yoshi to eat on the first day, which is very rare, so I know he was comfortable. She sent lots of pics and communication seamlessly. Great sitter, highly recommend and will use again!! ❤️”
“Love Erica so much. My dog is very much in her golden years. Erica takes such loving, attentive care of her. When I have to leave town and board my dog, I always feel reassured dropping her off here. Erica is great about communicating and my girl always comes back happy and well cared for after her stay.”
“Yuko did her best to make sure Clementine was loved when she was feeling a little homesick. Clementine came back to us all nice and tuckered out after a few days stay! It's nice that Yuko has other dogs around so that it's always play time for the dogs.”
“I'm so blessed that Stephen takes good care of my dog and I have no worry leaving him with him. My dog gets so excited as we drive closer to his house as it is his own.”
“My pup spent a few days with Kelly, and came back happy and healthy. Kelly was very responsive in her communication with me and sent a couple updates during his stay. Good job!”
“Michael was very easy going and it’s apparent that he loves caring for the dogs. ZuZu has a great stay at his place. He took walks every day with ZuZu and played with her. I’m confident that we will use his care again in the future.”
“This was Rosie’s second time spending the weekend with Karla, and she was excited and happy when we pulled up and went easily into the yard with Karla. Rosie was tired and happy when I picked her up. Karla gave her medication while we were gone and sent pictures and updates. We will continue to use Karla and recommend her!”
“Kenneth did an amazing job watching my dog. He sent me so many great updates with photos multiple times a day so I knew how she was doing. My dog can be a little shy with new people but Kenneth made her feel comfortable and at home. I could tell by the photos she had warmed up. Kenneth was also very good at following the care instructions I left. I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Mario is an incredibly considerate and kind sitter! We have boarded with Mario many many times now and will continue to do so. He does a great job communicating and sending photos everyday! Highly recommend”
“Wei took very good care of our pup! We had to board him for a week and she shared updates, photos and videos while we were away. She administered medication for his apparent allergies and we got him back in very good shape. She has a nice and big backyard and I could tell how happy our dog was digging around it :) Would definitely board with her again!”
“Ivan took great care of Remy while i was away for two weeks. He sent lots of updates and adorable photos of Remy having fun which was just so nice to see. Communication and coordinating drop off and pick up was easy and Remy came home happy and healthy. Definitely recommend!”
“This was now our third visit and as with the two previous visits, our dog Chica was a happy camper! From all the great photos and updates it was evident that she really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. We had absolutely no worries while away for the Thanksgiving holidays. When we picked her up, she was her usual loving happy self! Thank you Allison and Gordon!”
“The family of Zicheng and Kennedy took care of Minnie so well. It was such a life saver during our long trip to know that Minnie was at good hand . We got photo updates showing all daily routine of walking , playing , sleeping. Medication also well administered as needed. Such a easy communication with them by Rover messages. I can tell Minnie was integrated as their family member.Kennedy was such a calm and lovely buddy. Minnie came back with us healthy and happy . Thanks again for your care. We definitely recommend their services.”
“Ming-Ching took really great care of our chihuahua Teacup for a week and sent us many pictures every day and even videos! She went above and beyond compared to other sitters we've used on Rover because she plays with Teacup and trains her with treats. Will definitely rebook!”

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!

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.
