“Leeeun took care of our Teddy for 15 days while we were on an extended vacation. She sent numerous photos and correspondence. I did not worry at all while Teddy was in her care. She treated him like a member of her family and I know Teddy enjoyed every minute. Do not hesitate to choose her to take care of your pup!”
“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!”
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“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.”
“Felt very reassured during the entire booking. I received constant updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone. She always asked questions when unsure and was very flexible to make sure my dog got the care he needed. Very fast at responding. Overall great experience.”
“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”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“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. 🩷”
“I’m a new user to Rover and these two have been outstanding for my first experience. They kept me updated with photos and videos on how my dog (Charlie) was doing and how much fun he was having interacting with their dogs. 10/10 would highly recommend again.”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Kelly was amazing from start to finish. She was so flexible when our vacation dates changed, adding 2 additional days right at Christmas time. She went over and above by allowing us to come twice for a meet and greet ahead of time so Biscotti could get used to her. During Biscotti’s stay, she sent us multiple updates throughout the day. It was obvious she was taking great care of Biscotti as well as the other 2 dogs she was caring for. Biscotti was happy, healthy, and sad to say goodbye to her new friend when we picked her up. Kelly provided all the daily love and attention Biscotti was used to and we never worried about her during our trip. I highly recommend Kelly!”
“I came to Thiago from Leticia! It was kind of a last minute booking and Thiago was quick to reply. Tito had a blast, and I could see it from the pictures sent :) Will definitely book again when possible.”
“Kiara and her family took great care of our 8 year old labradoodle for little over a week. Our puppy has some medical needs and we were very comfortable that he was well taken care of. Thank you Kiara”
About: Hi, I’m Lisa! For over 21 years, dogs have been at the very heart of my life. From energetic puppies needing guidance to rescue fosters learning to trust, and gentle seniors who require a lighter touch and extra patience, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My ultimate goal is simple: to make your dog feel just as safe, relaxed, and loved in my home as they do in yours. What You & Your Dog Can Expect - A Welcoming & Social Environment: I have two very sweet, well-mannered dogs who are gentle and love meeting new friends. They get along effortlessly with every dog they meet and help guest pups settle in quickly and feel right at home. - Tailored Routines & Comfort: Every dog has a unique routine. Whether your pup requires oral medication, specific feeding schedules, special sleeping arrangements, or just extra couch cuddles, I adapt completely to their comfort zone. - Fun Outings & Playtime: If your dog loves staying active, we’ll take daily neighborhood walks and fun trips to the local dog park to run and play. Prefer a low-key day relaxing indoors? I can cater to every energy level! - Peace of Mind & Daily Updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind. I send regular photo and video updates throughout their stay so you always know how happy and relaxed they are. - Safety First: With two decades of owner and sitting experience, I am adept at reading dog body language, managing play safely, and keeping a secure, calm environment at all times. Specialized Experience - Puppies: Potty break schedules, basic command reinforcement, and gentle socialization. - Senior Dogs: Mobility support, medication administration, and relaxed, low-impact routines. - Rescue & Foster Dogs: Calming techniques for anxious pups, patience, and positive reinforcement. I always welcome a pre-booking Meet & Greet so our dogs can get acquainted and we can discuss your pup’s exact needs. I look forward to welcoming your dog into our family! Being retired allows me to dedicate my full attention to dog care and comfortably accommodate all kinds of schedules. I am at home the vast majority of the day. On the rare occasion I need to step out for a quick errand, I usually bring the dogs along with me for company, keeping them safe, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Your dog will be welcomed as a true member of our family with full access to our main floor living area and secure backyard. We have a convenient doggy door for pups who know how to use it, but I am always happy to take dogs out personally for regular potty breaks if they aren't familiar with one. To keep everyone happy and active, we go for plenty of walks around the neighborhood and visits to the local park.
“Winnie was amazing taking care of our mini Bernedoodle for about a week in her home. Our dog can be a picky eater, especially when away from home, but Winnie made sure she ate and was great at communicating with us. We've already booked future stays. Thanks, Winnie!”
“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!”
“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.”

This is Kyra's third time staying with Camille and we couldn't be happier. We received lots of updates throughout her stay, and it was clear that she felt right at home under Camille's care. We felt completely at ease during our trip knowing that not only was Kyra content, but she was also getting a lot of love and attention. They went on lots of adventures together, and we got great pictures to reassure us that she was settling in well and enjoying herself. We feel so lucky to have found Camille and will definitely book again!
Lauri is the BEST! She spent time getting to know us, our dog and learned our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt loved and comfortable during her boarding stay, sent lots of pictures and updates. Lauri is highly professional, prepared to handle any/all situations and you can really tell she loves what she does. She should get 10 stars. Thank you Lauri!!! XOXO :)
Eric and Sally are amazing! They went above and beyond to send us pictures, give updates, and keep us posted on how my dogs were doing. More than anything, I appreciate how kind and understanding they were with our dogs, which isn’t always easy. We could tell how kind and sweet were with our dogs, which was reassuring as this was the first time we left them with anyone besides family. Sally and Eric made us feel so assured and confident that our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. We appreciate them so much and hope to book with them again in the future!
Great communication and sent nice set of photos each day! Our dog loved staying with Ivan and he got to socialize with a few other similar sized small dogs during his stay which was great! Only minor comment is the photos he sent seemed to come through as somewhat low resolution (although this may have just been the Rover app) but overall no complaints!
Our dog Izzy stayed with Brandon for 12 nights, which was the longest we've ever been away from her. Brandon sent us daily photos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. He gave Izzy lots of attention and made her feel at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We'd definitely book with Brandon again.
Francesca took good care of our basset, Biscotti. Though there were several other dogs she was caring for at the same time, Biscotti preferred to follow Francesca around (probably because of the treats!) Francesca took her to the park and on walks and was a responsive communicator. We really appreciated her caring for our pup.
Our dog had the BEST time with Saul this weekend. (I’m surprised she even wanted to come home!) He took her on so many adventures and took such great care of her - and sent loads of pics / updates so we could see all the fun they were having! There was no doubt in my mind that she was in excellent hands, and I know she can’t wait to go back to visit sometime soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillsborough on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hillsborough. 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough.
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 Hillsborough 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.
