“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”
“Ana was amazing! She gave us the best daily updates with pictures and info on the highlights of their day. She had lots of pictures of our dog on walks with her, and it seemed like our dog even got to the point of playing with her cat by the end! Ana was a kind and attentive dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“I can not recommend James and his partner as pet sitters enough. They were responsive, professional, and accommodating. From the moment we booked, to the pick up; I felt genuinely safe and confident leaving my fur baby with James. My lil pup warmed up to them instantly and I knew she was in great hands. James sent a photo each day and when I picked up my dog she seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you for much James and Jas! I am so grateful and hope to re-book soon.”
“Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!”
“Sandra & Jose are everything you could want in the people who you trust to watch your pet. I could tell from the photos that my pup felt safe, happy, and truly at home with this lovely couple. It kinda felt like he belongs with them, so I was happy to extend his stay. Communication was on point, lots of cute pupdates, and my dog came home as one should after a lovely vacation— relaxed and happy. Thank you both for your time & dedication. It means the world to my little family.”
“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!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had a great experience with Yijiu! She was super responsive, kind, and very attentive to Leo. It was clear that she took great care of him, and Leo had such a fun time playing with her family. She was also very detail-oriented and kept us updated throughout his stay. We would definitely book with her again!”
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”

92% of sitters in Half Moon Bay 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.

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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
