Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsborough
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.
Brandon sends lots of great photos and frequent updates of our boy. We can tell our dog is excited to get dropped off with Brandon and that gives us a lot of confidence and peace of mind! We would definitely recommend Brandon to other owners looking for a dog sitter.
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!
Kyle & Stephanie really know and understand dogs - our dog can be complicated, reactive, and slow to trust new people, but they handled him with incredible patience and confidence. It was clear they took the time to understand his personality, and because of that he was relaxed and comfortable very quickly. They also spent a lot of time and energy giving our dog great breed-specific engagement, which he absolutely loved and we could see how happy he was during his stay. Communication was also top-notch.
I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!
I just picked up my dog Marvin after being away for the first time for 3 days. Marvin was happy and so well taken care of! Hikes, walks and lots of play time with their dog who Marvin loves!!! So happy I found Kaitlyn to take care of Marvin! Lots of pictures and videos sent so I knew how happy Marvin was! Thank you again Kaitlyn!!!
Thank you for taking the best care of Rocket and Ruby! We never have to worry when we know our dogs are with you. They have the best time, and we can enjoy our vacation knowing we don't have to feel guilty leaving them behind. Your frequent pictures of them sweetly snuggled up at your place or on beautiful walks always help my children when they are missing Rocket and Ruby too. Thank you for helping us again and again!

FAQs for Boarding - Hillsborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillsborough on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,096 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.
